**★★★★★ — clover34, Jan. 2015**

> This was the first time that my husband and I had worked with an interior designer. Lori helped us redo our living room. She was able to very quickly pick up on our style and then created a room that exceeded our expectations. We were working within a budget and Lori did a really nice job of knowing where to spend the money.  She was extremely easy to work with and we are very pleased with the results. We would definitely work with her again.

**★★★★★ — dfaddoul, March 2013**

> I needed help with decorating ideas and needed a professional help. Lori was extremely helpful and was able to come up with ideas that are both creative and cost effective. She suggested to make a few upgrades that would update the look of the rooms without spending an arm and a leg! I am going to make the changes she suggested and will hire her again for additional help and ideas!

**★★★★★ — missy1124, Feb. 2013**

> Lori is currently working on several rooms in our home.  We have been very pleased with her creativeness and sophistication.  I can't make a decorating decision without her!

**★★★★★ — Maria Forman, Jan. 2013**

> Lori is so incredibly talented at her job.  She not only puts together rooms that are so beautiful to look at and be in, but  also always makes sure that they are functional.  We have worked with Lori for the past 6 years.  In that time,  she has decorated our whole DC row house and our beach place.  We no longer make decorating decisions without consulting her.  I highly recommend her..she is the BEST!  She's made our houses homes.

**★★★★★ — carnordberg, Jan. 2013**

> InDesign has worked on 5 design projects for me. I have recommended them to several friends and we have all been delighted.  The work is creative and fun and always within budget. I love how Lori mixes special, more pricey pieces with affordable "off the shelf" pieces to create a unique sophisticated vibe.

**★★★★★ — sueb1742, Jan. 2013**

> I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lori.  She helped me decorate my living room and a breakfast nook in the kitchen.  She did a fabulous job with color/patterns, style, and functionality.  I can't wait to have her come back!

**★★★★★ — ksarclm, Jan. 2013**

> My husband and I would recommend Lori to anyone who is looking for a design professional.  She works very well with the client to determine what the client wants, is creative in helping the client come to design clarity, and is determined and persistent in assuring client satisfaction, even if it takes many tries.  She does not push the client toward a particular budget, but works with the client to develop alignment between the client's wishes and financial goals.  Once a budget is set and agreed upon, she meets it.  She is fun and a great resource.  Our house is now beautiful, and a great joy to us.  Lori made that happen.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Feather Chandelier** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can I get that chandelier?  Thanks.

A: Thank you, but it's an original.  i made the chandelier for the client.

**Q: window seat cushion** *(in Photo Questions)*

beautiful room! I love the thickness of the window seat cushion. Is it down-filled? do you happen to know the height of the cushion; is it maybe 5 inches?

A: Thank you! 
The window seat cushion has a foam core, for stability and shape, with a layer of down on the top and bottom. I think it was more than 5" to start, but has compressed over time. Maybe 3" foam core, and two 2-3" layers of down; the tufting compacts the layers, and keeps everything together. 
A good upholsterer should be able to replicate the piece.

**Q: Wall color** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi! Can you please tell
Me the color and brand of the walls in the bedroom? It is so soft and pretty! Love this room!

A: Wall color: BM Palace White
Ceiling color: Benjamin Moore Florida Keys Blue, \#2050-40, with many coats of BM Studio Finishes Metallic Glaze in Pearlescent White.

**Q: I love the lamp!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where'd you get it?

A: If you click on the lamp in the big photo, you will see the details of the product.

**Q: The artwork is beautiful! Do you know the name of the artist or photog** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The artwork was purchased from Ethan Allen.

**Q: Curtain Treatment** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hello! Where can I find that pink material for the curtain treatment?

A: I'm sorry, Jennie, i dont have that information anymore.
