**★★★★★ — Shelly Schultz, Sept. 2014**

> I have worked with this design firm for about 4 1/5 years and will likely continue to work with them for several years to come. We have almost completed my whole home. Laura and her team are amazing to work with. They are respectful of your likes and dislikes. They have wonderful taste and can appreciate individuals budget constraints. I have done my master bedroom, study, outdoor living, powder bath, and finally we are finishing my dining room. My husband and I both enjoy working with Laura and he will be using her when he does his office. Her skillset is for residential and commercial sites as well. I enjoy our meeting times and I really appreciate Laura's honesty. My home is one she has had professional images taken and I love referring her to my friends because they all use her and have all been very satisfied.

**★★★★★ — yumsmumhele, Dec. 2013**

> I have worked with Laura Manchee for several years now on different projects.  She came into my life when she did a commercial design project for my son.  I had never personally worked extensively with an interior designer.  Laura did such an outstanding job of creating an environment that perfectly suited my sons' esthetics that I really wanted her to help me with my home.
> Laura exceeded every expectation I could have ever had.  She brought color into my life and nudged me outside my 'comfort zone'.  My husband and I so loved what she did that when we were ready to do some renovations to our lake house Laura was our immediate choice.  Even though the project was in another city it was done professionally and beautifully.  My only criteria for it was that I wanted to walk in and feel I was on vacation somewhere fun.  We do!  We love spending time there and always hate to lock the door behind us when we have to leave.
> We recently purchased a new home and Laura has once again worked her magic.  She knows me well and I feel that our home perfectly reflects the warmth and welcome we wanted to convey.
> Laura's success lies in the fact that she never pushes anything on her clients but she is more than able to work with people who have different visions.  She has an excellent team to back her up.  She also has a high standard she expects and always makes sure the job is done to that standard.
> My husband and I have appreciated her integrity, her honesty, her enthusiasm and her talents.

  - Description: 2009 ASID-TGCC Winner - Mid-Rise/High-Rise Category Personalizing a bland building interior in this Houston high-rise was the challenge on this project. The client was moving to a space with a view but he also wanted the interior to reflect his personal style while allowing the vistas to play a major role in the decor.
