I have worked on two projects with Lisa and I highly recommend her to others! ### All 11 reviews **★★★★★ — Pamela, June 2026** > I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa on two projects, a floor plan redesign/bathroom/laundry renovation and a kitchen remodel. She transformed a poorly designed and outdated space into a beautiful, practical retreat all within my budget. Lisa is a thoughtful, talented designer who is detail oriented, and keeps her clients ideas and needs in mind. She excels at communicating through out the renovation process which made each project progress seamlessly. I highly recommend Lisa and could not be happier with my newly renovated home. **★★★★★ — Colby, June 2024** > Lisa helped my husband and I design our dream home. Lisa is a true expert. Lisa brought out vision to life with her interior design technology. She then took us step by step through the interior design process. She has beautiful vision, she is creative and flexible to your needs and creative design. She makes great points on things to consider when decision making to make sure your space is organized to suit your day to day needs. We have loved working with Lisa on our interior design, cabinetry, countertops and so much more. We asked Lisa for her guidance on lighting, hardware, appliances, tile and more. We couldn't have done it all without Lisa! **Comment from Inspired Designs:** > Thank you so much for your review! I am so happy that I was able to play a part in creating such a beautiful home for you both. I hope you enjoy many years in your new home and welcome to the neighborhood. **★★★★★ — Martha, Feb. 2024** > Lisa was wonderful to work with. After many revisions to the design, and working with her amazing team of contractors, I have the kitchen of my dreams. **Comment from Inspired Designs:** > Thank you for the opportunity to make your dream kitchen a reality. **★★★★★ — Bob and Louise Henderson, June 2023** > We feel fortunate to have contracted with Lisa and Inspired Designs to create a full renovation of our master bathroom. Lisa demonstrated to us her advanced knowledge of product, color schemes and more importantly, the ability to coordinate with our contractor. Lisa regularly checked in with us and was on site to ensure that the project was progressing as agreed and she could not have been more accommodating. > From the technical side, Lisa was outstanding. Equally important was Lisa's ability to relate to us and provide clarity and understanding as the project progressed. She regularly demonstrated patience, understanding and empathy making the process seamless. > We thank Lisa for her outstanding work and would highly recommend Lisa and Inspired Designs. A Five Star rating is well deserved. **Comment from Inspired Designs:** > It was a pleasure working with you and Louise. I hope you enjoy your beautiful bathroom. **★★★★★ — jethammond, April 2023** > I was very pleased with the kitchen design that Lisa O'Brien completed for us last year. She has excellent ideas and understood exactly what I was looking for in a new kitchen. When I was unsure of a specific part of the plan, she offered perfect suggestions. She was very pleasant to deal with. > I was also very happy with the contractor that she suggested. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my new kitchen and pantry. I highly recommend Lisa. **Comment from Inspired Designs:** > Joan, thank you so much for your review! I am happy to hear that you are enjoying your new kitchen and pantry. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Interior Woodcraft, Feb. 2023** > I’ve been working with Lisa from Inspired Designs for the last 4 years now as a General Contractor with my company Interior Woodcraft. Her communication, attention to detail, willingness and support to make sure that the customers project is a success is outstanding. > > I know that when she brings in my company that there will be a well thought out design that is solid and has adapted all the customers needs. > > With over 20 successful projects under my belt with her I would not hesitate to refer her to my clients for their design needs. **Comment from Inspired Designs:** > It’s always a pleasure to partner with you and your team. **★★★★★ — Scott V. Truncellito, Jan. 2023** > I have been working with Lisa over the past 6 years including development projects and my personal residence renovation. Lisa has supplied kitchens, baths and bedroom cabinet systems across all of my projects. The results across all of the projects were excellent and met the intended need. What really separates Lisa from other designers is her ability to communicate both written and oral, but her attention to the detail of EVERYTHING is superior. She takes the right amount of time upfront to plan and make sure the dimensions of the space are crystal clear.....this matters of course in the size of the cabinets but more importantly in the execution/installation at the very end. All of my projects had flawless execution in the end because of the time taken up front to prepare and manage the detail at that point. The last point i would make about working with Lisa is she creates the right professional tension to go back and forth and have open discussion what is required to make sure expectations are met. She pushes back at the right timing points to make sure everything is understood fully by both sides before a final decision. An absolute pleasure working with Lisa and would recommend her moving forward to anyone. **★★★★★ — Ruth Gray, Jan. 2023** > Lisa delivers. She listened to what my vision was and gave me exactly what I was hoping for. No one fails to remark how well laid out and beautiful my kitchen is. A year and half after move-in, I had a problem with one drawer and she addressed it immediately and corrected the issue. Lisa was a great choice. **Comment from Inspired Designs:** > It was so rewarding to work with you from vision to reality. You have a beautiful kitchen and I hope you and your family will make many memories in your new home. **★★★★★ — hoatys2013, Jan. 2023** > I have worked with Lisa on two projects. She designed my kitchen on the first project and was exceptionally professional. When we ran into problems with the floor installation, she was right there to solve the problem. I was so pleased with her work that I hired her to design my bathroom. Again I was so very pleased with her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in hiring her. **Comment from Inspired Designs:** > It was a pleasure to work with you on both of your remodeling projects. **★★★★★ — aberlin44, Jan. 2023** > Lisa is extremely detailed organized and has a great eye for design. Lisa has worked on 2 separate projects with me and could not be happier with the results. **Comment from Inspired Designs:** > I hope that you enjoy your your new spaces for many years to come! ## Selected projects - [Refined Transitional Kitchen in Bedford](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refined-transitional-kitchen-in-bedford-pj-vj~7787134) - Location: Bedford, NH - Photos: 6 - [Cherry and Blue Coastal Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cherry-and-blue-coastal-kitchen-pj-vj~7733188) - Location: North Hampton, NH - Photos: 4 - [Auburn Custom Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/auburn-custom-kitchen-pj-vj~7338818) - Location: Auburn, NH - Photos: 7 - Description: The original kitchen had the potential for greatness but was stuck in the 1990's era.
