**★★★★★ — lgoodall, April 2016**

> Laurie has designed & decorated 4 rooms in our home - our family room, master bedroom, kitchen/dining room & living room.  We are thrilled with the results!  Our home truly is a haven for family & friends and feeds our souls.
> Laurie listened to our needs & wishes and applied her skills to create rooms that are both beautiful and functional.
> She has a warm, friendly personality & it is always a pleasure working with her.
> And best of all - our projects came in on time & on budget!

**★★★★★ — emma\_hendrydickie, Nov. 2015**

> We could not have asked for a better designer! Our first home was a new build and Laurie was great at helping us through the design process that frankly without her would have been very overwhelming as first time home buyers. She was able to take our ideas for design and turn them into a beautiful home while staying within our budget. Laurie was always full of creative ideas that were exactly what we were looking for. She combined my interior style with my husband's so that we both got precisely what we were looking for. She has most recently helped us with our second new build going through the design process once again. We wanted something different from our first home and she had many new ideas, collaborating my taste with my husband's. With Laurie's expertise and natural talent we are very excited to be moving into our new home that is both functional for our growing family with leading decor!

**★★★★★ — hcolli, Feb. 2015**

> Laurie took care of our renovation project with both professionalism and creativity.  She understood our goals for an update that would reflect our personalities, our lifestyle and our dream to make our beloved house in the woods an oasis for family and friends.  We were very happy with Laurie’s ability to provide options for design and materials without overwhelming us.  We were also relieved that Laurie and the trades she contracted were able to manage our “whole house” project reliably and independently as we were living part-time in the US during our renovation.  Our experience with Décor Resource was very satisfying.  We love our “new” home!!

  - Description: This master bedroom in a suburban townhouse condo went from a white 'box' to a serene and inviting retreat for the clients. By adding the custom wooden panels some architectural interest was created in the space. The turquoise velvet chair was the colour cue that the custom linen drapery and bed linens sprang from. The chest as 'night stand' lent some antiquity to the room..though it had to be new in order to find the right size. The kitchen was a drab brown with faux granite laminate counters..…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Would you share your paint color on the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I'm trying to lighten up our bedroom.

A: Hi Theresa. It is a beautiful shade by Benjamin Moore we use often...Smoky Green. Hope this helps you!

**Q: What is the material of the white slab cabinets? mdf, ply, wood?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The cabinets are MDF

**Q: where did you get the metal shelves?** *(in Photo Questions)*

are they aluminum, stainless steel, something else?

A: The shelves are stainless steel and custom made. As beautiful as they are...they are not a quick, nor inexpensive solution. The shelving took a great deal of time and precision craftsmanship to pull off properly - though well worth it in terms of ease of access to often used items...like wine glasses!

**Q: Source of the bed, please?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello....the bed is from Austin and Taylor Fine Home furnishings in London Ontario. This is an old pic...sorry I could not be more specific for you!

**Q: What color walls** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I just cant decide what color to paint my walls. My dining room is coral, black and white. Plz help! I'll looking for a modern rich look...

A: I think you should paint the far wall the red of the chair background and leave the other walls a ligh/shite nuretral. You could also add some colourful abstract artwork above the console table. It should have white matting and black frames to contrast with the red wall colour. Failing that...the charcoal is nice too but you still need the addition of more artwork in the space.

**Q: Need ideas on kitchen** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Looking at making an offer on this house but the kitchen is turning us away. I've thought about replacing the cabinets where the current location is and putting a matching island in the middle. Limited on counter space with just that one wall or move everything  on the other side and have 2 or 3 walls to work off of. This has to be one of the worst designed kitchens I've seen. Lol. Any ideas/advice please. No issues on budget. Thanks in advance.

A: Budget not an issue? This is a complete re-do....so you would have to spend some money to make this a workable space with some aesthetic appeal.
