ML has completely redesigned two very different homes for us over the span of 15 years and each experience was excellent. ML perfectly merges your desires, lifestyle and budget with her creativity and decades of experience to provide you with an outcome beyond your imagination. We know ML to be consistently responsive, budget conscientious, detail oriented, professional and productive. I highly recommend ML for any project!

Marie Laure has been a pleasure to work with! She has a great concept of space and offers good yet practical suggestions for how best to use the space. She is efficient and responds quickly. I would highly recommend using her services.

I sought Marie-Laure's assistance with our beach house, currently under construction, and am glad I did. Marie-Laure helped me select exterior and interior paint, countertops, backsplash, and lighting. She also drew up a furniture plan. All of this has saved money, time and the end result will be much more harmonious and comfortable for her input. I will continue to work with Marie-Laure - I so appreciate her candor, responsiveness and knowledge.

We have worked with ML Design on a few different projects now, and they have all been outstanding. The designer is great to work with, she is quick with getting things accomplished and very patient with what can be sometimes very stressful situations. Her designs are truly luxurious. You will not regret hiring ML for your next project!

Working with Marie-laure has been a great choice and an absolute pleasure. She perfectly interpreted my taste and efficiently translated that into cohesive selections for our home addition/renovation. She is so talented, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking design help!

I loved working with Marie-laure and would highly recommend her for your interior design project! She helped me with recommendations for every detail, I couldn't have done it without her. ML was able to accommodate my schedule at every turn and really listened to what I wanted. She transformed our space to a clean, fresh look. It was exactly what we were looking for. I was so impressed that I already hired her for a 2nd project. Love her work!!

Marie Laure is the consummate professional. She listens to her clients and her designs elevate the project to reflect both her excellent eye and the client's wants and needs. She works fast and is able to anticipate problems to ensure that the project progresses seamlessly and efficiently. She has a great ability to source beautiful items within budget, without sacrificing the overall design aesthetic. She also worked well with our architect and contractor so everyone was on the same page. We're so grateful to have been able to work with her on our Kiawah Island home.

Marie-Laure not only has a great sense of style, she also managed our project with the precision of a military deployment. What she was able to accomplish during the COVID supply chain shortages was nothing short of amazing. We were out of town for most of the project but always felt connected via her FaceTime updates. Marie-Laure's team of contractors - painters, electricians, upholsterers, cabinet makers, etc. are top notch. She was fun to work with and direct when she thought I was making a decision that I would regret. She worked with our existing pieces and helped us find just the right additions. She transformed our Charleston dream home into everything we envisioned and more.
