This is the second home project where we have employed Lori's expertise. Lori helped to serve as the intermediary between us and our contractors to ensure that the remodel was done with great care and precision. She keeps in mind the taste of her clients and offers several style options to help the space feel more personalized while also elegant. She is willing to express her opinions regarding style while not pushing you toward her preferences. Lori was always easy to talk to and helped us complete our latest remodel in a timely manner despite tearing down walls and essentially rearranging the whole structure of the space. The kitchen now feels warm and modern while also very usable. The master bathroom that we remodeled previously with her guidance is probably my favorite space in our home. Lori helped us create storage solutions as this was a major priority for our projects. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone who is looking to remodel a space in their home and would not hesitate to use her services again.

I am a general contractor and recently worked with Lori on a large remodel. Lori's designs were amazing, but her ability to communicate and provide information in a timely manner helped me stay on schedule. She was organized and professional from the first meeting to the finishing touches. I look forward to working with Lori again!

I cannot recommend Lori highly enough! Her expertise guided us through our kitchen remodel, from selecting counter tops, all finishes and cabinet color. Our kitchen is beautiful – timeless.
She is currently helping us with the décor for several rooms in our home and the transformation is remarkable. Her professionalism, and punctuality are unmatched, and her knowledge of design is evident. Working with her has been a pleasure and her dedication to bringing our vision to life has been a complete blessing!
If you are looking for an interior designer who is professional, punctual, and talented, look no further than Lori Ramsay Design. Thank you, Lori, for making our home beautiful, timeless and a welcoming space.

Comment from Lori Ramsay Design:
Thank you Carla, I am so glad you are enjoying your home!
Lori is a delight to work with as a designer during whole house renovation. She listens, and quickly has ideas and suggestions to flesh out a vision for my uncertain style ideas. I most appreciate what an advocate she has been, her leadership in guiding meetings, asking probing questions with contractor and sub-contractors. It has been a relief. I might add that going with a designer of my choice, as opposed to working with a design/build firm has given me someone who can provide many more choices, choices that fit me personally. I have no experience with renovation, which is a lengthy and stressful process, but she brings years of experience, knowledge of local contacts, imagination, practicality, and intuitive good taste. A designer is THE essential first step in renovation, and Lori is devoted to excellence and responsiveness. Her 3-D designs are highIy detailed and helpful. I recommend her with wholehearted enthusiasm! Thank you Lori for the better functioning and emerging beauty in my future home.

Lori did a great job in helping me on my large home renovations. She guided me not only with her professional opinion on style, colors and items, but helped me stay focused on what my overall goals were. It is very easy to get side tracked, and she was always calm, professional and direct.
I appreciated her help and knew I could always call her when I was needing any help.
Thanks Lori!

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars
To give Lori 5 stars feels like an underwhelming rating. Lori was fantastic! She helped me turn my very dated ranch style home into a modern and elegant farm-house/rancher; a place I'm proud to call home. Along with Lori's keen eye for design, Lori processes a unique quality to understand her client's needs and budget. What I mean by needs - I can only assume every client possess a certain level of ability, knowledge and understanding of what they want or their vision. This can be one of the biggest challenges understanding how much is enough. Lori started our design ideation and process by allowing me a lot of freedom to paint a vision however when it came to putting the details together, I was lost. She provided enough framework to help me make key decisions but not so much that it was overwhelming. Some clients may want that freedom but it would have slowed my process down and would have created a very different experience for me. I'm a busy, single professional so quality, beauty, efficiency and budget were important to me. I can't recommend Lori enough. I will be using her for phase 2 of my project which will include: a master bath redesign and laundry/mud room.

Thank you Jackie! It was a pleasure to work with you and Tom to redesign your home. I hope you have years of joy in your new beautiful and functional space!
Don’t even think about doing a bath remodel or any other significant updating in your home without Lori to help you create your vision. There are simply too many details and Lori will guide you through them all.
She is knowledgeable about products and materials and has great resources. She will help you make choices you will love with no second thoughts.
I commend Lori for her excellence in communicating with me. She was responsive to my every question and was a valuable interface with my contractor.

I needed a kitchen redesign after a busted pipe created major flooding in my house. My research included Lori Ramsay Design. Speaking with Lori, I realized she had an expert understanding of the many facets of fully realized projects. I choose Lori because I was convinced she was the right person to include my ideas along with solid design principals. It was a great decision.
Lori provided outstanding assistance with every aspect of my kitchen/bath/flooring remodel project.
Lori was prepared to present updated information on different proposals and provided excellent comments or mentioned potential issues specific to design questions.
Once we had decided on the details of my project, purchased design items and selected a contractor, Lori was always up-to-date with the project timeline and interacted with me as well as with the contractor to help all of us stay informed.
Thank you, Lori, for all the assistance provided.

I found Lori based on her reviews on Houzz and she did not disappoint. I have a townhome in Carmel Valley and wanted to replace all the flooring and redo the primary bathroom and powder room. Lori met me at various vendors and helped me to select materials. She has a great understanding of the different products available and their price points which allowed me to stay on budget. She has a great eye for design while staying within our design aesthetic. She completely reworked the bathroom and it is not only beautiful, but so much more functional. My project was somewhat complicated as it is a second home and I was not there for a good portion of the remodel. Lori checked on the work, identified issues and problems and they were rectified. She always stayed in touch with me, sending me pictures and updates. I am so fortunate to have found Lori Ramsay!

Lori was integral in the success of our kitchen remodel. We have a long, narrow kitchen space and we were struggling to come up with a workable blueprint for the contractor. Lori stepped in and guided us toward our final plan which is both beautiful and functional. We are thrilled with the result and highly recommend Lori’s design services.

Comment from Lori Ramsay Design:
Thank you Angela! I am so happy you are pleased with the results of your kitchen. It was a pleasure to work with you!
We hired Lori for a bathroom remodel & to finish some areas that needed tiling. She recommended replacing an over-sized bathtub and installing a zero dam shower, both of which opened up the room. All of the tile Lori picked out were excellent choices. The colors, sizes, patterns & how best to install it fit nicely with the rest of the house. She was good at giving direction to the subs & contractor. I looked to her on how things should look or work. Lori always showed up with a smile, was organized, honest & thoughtful. We are very happy with the results!

Bath and laundry renovation
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Lori helped us with a really wonderful design for 2 bathrooms and laundry room remodels. I sent her pictures of what I was hoping to achieve and she came back with a design that was exactly what I wanted. Everything turned out beautifully and she gave us ideas I would never have come up with myself. I was on the east coast when I hired her and up until the project began and she picked out tiles, countertops, cabinets, fixtures, etc. without me there to make sure everything started smoothly. This was our first remodel and first time working with a designer and it was a learning curve for us. We were really happy with Lori’s services and will definitely look to use her when we do a kitchen remodel in the future.

We are happy beyond measure with the outcome of our work with Lori Ramsay Design. A few years ago, we had removed the wall between our living room and kitchen/dining area and remodeled the kitchen. With the kitchen style and colors as “stakes in the ground,” I hired Lori to restyle the rest of our open concept ground floor to create a classic, cohesive look with improved flow and functionality for everyday living as well as entertaining. After reviewing my idea book on Houzz and an in-person meeting to see our home and discuss goals and style preferences, Lori came back with initial ideas that just nailed it! Our project flowed seamlessly from that point. I really appreciated that Lori listened closely and was willing to work collaboratively. She was open to exploring opportunities and earnestly evaluating ideas I put forward while maintaining pragmatism and keeping us on the path to a harmonious whole. We now have a beautiful modern coastal Craftsman vibe with soothing colors, clean lines, and understated elegance. I had been wanting to hire a designer for several years, but couldn’t find a match in the many portfolios I reviewed. I feel very fortunate to have found Lori and would be thrilled to work with her again.

We are so glad we engaged Lori’s for our home remodel. She was able to take our novice vision for our Kitchen and Master Bathroom to another level. Her attention to detail coupled with her approach to selecting materials made the entire process fun. Lori worked well with the contractors, helped ensure things stayed on track, and communicated with us every step of the way. She also made sure the final product in every room exceeded expectations. We would recommend Lori for any project you have.

Thank you Katie! It was a pleasure to work with you and Ron to bring your vision to completion.
Lori was truly an amazing designer! She helped my wife and I feel comfortable throughout the process of remodeling our home and the results were truly incredible. We get compliments on a daily basis, and most people say our home should be on the cover of a magazine.
Lori was always accessible, and easy to reach. She brought many great ideas / inspirations to our remodel, and went shopping for us, brought us many samples of tile, and created a true masterpiece that I’m proud to call our home.
I would highly recommend Lori for any interior design needs!

We collaborated with Lori on a major redesign of our Master Bathroom.
On a personal basis, Lori is an engaging, pleasant person to interface with, and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her.
Personally, she exhibited the highest level of integrity.
Her professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail and follow-up was truly outstanding!
Lori adds an added dimension to her obvious Interior design skills with a significant understanding of the construction process.
It really helps tremendously when dealing with the contractor on construction and design implementation issues.
Our contractor commented to my wife & me how tremendous it was to work with a designer who understood his side of the issues and could contribute to not only the identification of issues but provide recommendations and solutions to solve those issues!
We highly recommend Lori and if you do engage her you will be glad you did!
We love our new Master Bath! We are Happy Campers! Thank you Lori!

We would recommend Lori for any project you may have. She was extremely conscientious about doing the research about every aspect of our project. She spent many hours finding the best possible materials and confirming they were materials that fit our taste and style. She was communicative with both us and the contractor to make sure we were all on the same page each day during the project. She was open to our ideas and helpful if we had questions about any detail of the work. She made sure we were on top of ordering all part of the project, from choosing all the appliances to window coverings and down to the door handles. She is courteous, detail oriented, meticulous and hard working. We would recommend her for all design projects you may have.

Furthermore, every project we’ve worked she has exceeded my expectations, not to mention, she always finds the perfect materials for the job.

Lori worked with me to design a large deck and a patio. The scope of work included providing floor plan, perspective, and elevation drawings of both areas, the design of two pergolas, and the selection of flooring tile, fireplace stone, solar shades, lighting, and paint colors. During the project Lori met with me several times on site and at a vendor location. She also met with the general contractor to ensure that design elements were compatible with the construction constraints.
Lori designed a beautiful and functional outdoor space that was based on my ideas and preferences and at the same time reflected her excellent design aesthetic. She presented materials and lighting options that matched my taste, were functional, and within my budget. She was professional, met all deadlines, and was a pleasure to work with. Lori went the extra mile to ensure that I was happy with the design. I loved working with her and highly recommend her services.

When we started our kitchen/living room renovation we didn't think we needed a designer, but we quickly realized that we needed help, someone to put it all together for us. A friend recommended Lori and we found her wonderful to work with. She was always easily available and went the extra mile helping us to pick and put together the design. Lori worked in a very timely fashion, was fast and thorough. We whole heartedly recommend her services. We especially liked that she had flexible services (we found other designers only wanted to work within a certain framework). We would use her again for our next project.

Lori was an incredible asset to our two bathroom remodel projects. She carefully balanced our needs and preferences and incorporated them into the design and layout of the spaces. She then went above and beyond to work with vendors to find materials (e.g., tiles, flooring, countertops, fixtures, etc.) to create the look and feel that we wanted. Lori worked diligently with the vendors to track the shipment and once they arrived, to promptly address any issues with the materials. She oversaw the contractors as they installed the tiles, flooring, countertops, trim, and plumbing to ensure that each element was installed in accordance with the design (no small feat). Lori communicated with us on a daily basis to make sure we were happy with the progress and to address any concerns. We could not have done our project without her! We now have two amazing bathrooms that we absolutely love, thanks to Lori! I could not recommend her highly enough, she is wonderful!

My experience with Lori Ramsay Design has been wonderful. Lori's attention to detail and eye for design are truly what sets her above the rest. She is organized, assertive, and has been really receptive to my taste and style. Without the help of Lori Ramsay Design, I would never have been able to accomplish the 5000+ sq ft total home renovation I am finally finishing up! Lori helped me to create my dream home; she brought so many details to my attention that made such a difference. Lori kept me on track when I got frustrated with the project, her motivation helped me continue to push forward when things seemed so overwhelming. When I asked for help on any part of the process, she prioritized my requests and streamlined things to help me use my time wisely & efficiently. I would definitely recommend Lori Ramsay Design to all my friends and family for any size design project.

Lori is great! Very easy to work with and provides great advice while still listening to the client's design tastes. We reached out to Lori because of the great feedback we saw here and we are very glad we did! She has helped us target our renovations based on our wanting to sell and/or rent our house in the near future. She also recommended pretty modest renovations, which meant less business for her from our remodels, so she definitely has the client's best interests in mind with her recommendations. All around it has been a great experience. I would definitely work with Lori again in the future.

Lori Is worth her weight in gold. She was there for me every step of the way as I remodeled my bathroom, kitchen, put in new engineered hardwood flooring and had the inside of my house painted. I love the results. It feels like a new home, very relaxing and inviting. Every time I use my new bathroom I feel like I'm in a luxurious spa. The kitchen is efficient and has a much larger feel even though I didn't increase the size. I'm very pleased with the floors and walls, they are beautiful. Her knowledge of all aspects of the work to be done was amazing. I would have spent months, maybe years trying to accomplish what she did with ease and with excellent results. She has wonderful ideas and the contractors that she picked were just the right ones for my job. It was very apparent that they all love her and feel that she is very talented too. She really had a knack for picking great materials and bringing great choices to me. I would tell her what I liked and she proceeded to find it for me. We went shopping together several times. These trips were always delightful and very productive. The contractors she used always came to work on time, worked hard, and finished my job when they said they would. Everyone who sees my house says "Oh Wow, this is really beautiful." They always say they will keep her in mind for any work they have to do and tell me that I am very lucky to have found her. I will have to say that I wholeheartedly agree.

We engaged Lori Ramsay Design to help us with two bathroom remodels. The original baths were from 1993 when we built our house and they were terribly dated and deteriorated. Lori helped us to choose lovely materials and developed a beautiful tile plan. She helped us to choose all of the other materials as well and gave us good recommendations for people to do the cabinets, glass, and countertops. This was critical for us as I did all of the other work myself and so there was no general contractor. Lori was very patient with me, as the job took much longer than it would have with a professional contractor and crew. Overall, we greatly enjoyed working with Lori and are very happy with the finished product. I recommend her highly.

After purchasing a 35 year old home in need of some major renovations, my wife and I felt pretty overwhelmed with the project. Fortunately we received a referral for Lori Ramsay. We felt comfortable with Lori right from the start. It was obvious that she had the depth of experience, attention to detail and flexibility we were looking for.
Lori was directly responsible for redesigning our entire kitchen - including tons of cabinet storage and an Island in a relatively small space. She also tackled our 3 bathrooms and did a fantastic job on all of them. In addition she created a GREAT design for our walk in Master Closet that was truly a nightmare before (imagine vaulted ceilings, 1/2 walls, strange angle in this space). Beyond those projects, Lori helped us pick out everything from paint colors to counters to tile to door handles that would match our modern/minimal style. She really kept us consistent within the established esthetic. And we are very grateful for that. We really couldn't be happier with the end result.
Lori was a pleasure to work with. I would also like to mention that even when there was an issue with one of the contractors that was not her fault or responsibility , she stepped in and helped us to resolve it. She really went above and beyond in this case.

When we met with Lori for the first time, we immediately knew that she was the right designer for us. Our project included a total renovation of our master bedroom closet and bathroom. She was straightforward in her approach and highly professional. Lori explained the design and financial processes and was eager to collaborate with us and with our contractor. Throughout the renovation she presented options and was always on site to make sure that the contractor and his team were on task. The outcome was just as we hoped it would be and we look forward to doing more projects with Lori.

Lori was a pleasure to work with. I tried to do it l myself and was overwhelmed with all that needed to be done. I found Lori and immediately relaxed. She listened to what I wanted and needed, and effortlessly helped me select paint colors, carpeting, floor tile, as well as created a design for my master bathroom and guest bathroom. Everyone she brought in on this project was professional, easy to work with and completed each project on time. Lori stands behind her work, and I am looking forward to working with her to help me with window treatments.

I am currently working with Lori on the re-model of my master bathroom. We are making it handicap accessible and Lori's ADA knowledge and design flair has been indispensable. She has introduced exciting ideas to the project and brought in great workmen to carry out her design. She's honored my budget and I'm looking forward to seeing the final results in a few weeks . I look forward to working with Lori again on future design projects..

I asked Lori to help me with a fireplace redo. I would say that the most important thing Lori did was listen to me and observe my home - how I had it decorated. From there she came up with options - glass tile for my fireplace along the same colors as in my kitchen. Once this option was selected (and we went through a few iterations which was important to get the best fit) we decided that I should replace the room fan which was broken. We chose some feature lights that show off the fireplace and tile. It all works together wonderfully!

Lori helped us design our kitchen. She was so easy to work with. I really valued her honesty and suggestions (like putting in a small appliance pullout in our cabinet). The most important part of working with Lori was that she got to know me and my taste and really gave me permission to implement my own ideas that I was a bit insecure about. I would work with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Lori, for everything.

Lori is absolutely AMAZING! We had just bought a house that needed some serious improvements. I didn't have much of an idea of what I wanted to do with the master bath or guest bath. I created a couple of idea books filled with looks that I adore, and she made them come to life. Lori, Omar, Brent, and the crew are artists. I loved their work so much, that I kept throwing extra projects at them and everything turned out amazing! My house is now "pinterest worthy" and I owe that all to Lori Ramsay Design!!

I so appreciate that you know what you like and yet accepted my guidance as to where to apply a more trendy approach and when to be more timeless. Working with clients like you makes our job fun! Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the beauty of your home.

Lori is thoroughly professional with a personable touch. Lori has this uncanny ability to grasp her client's preference and fulfills the needs of her client in a most efficient and cost/effective way. Lori and I spent altogether ten hours. Within this limited time period, Lori helped me to pick out several lighting fixtures, various flooring material, plumbing fixtures, counter material at a most affordable cost without sacrifice the quality. I could not be happier with the end result. I would not hesitate to recommend Lori to anyone who is interested in her service, and I would be happy to use her service again, should the need ever arises.

We highly recommend Lori Ramsay of Ramsay Brewer Kitchen and Bath. Lori helped us with several projects in our home - paint colors throughout the house, window replacement and treatments, and fabric selections for reupholstery. She is extremely professional, creative, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. We appreciated the immediate recap by email of our meetings, detailing what was discussed and the plan to move forward. Highly skilled individuals recommended by Lori completed our projects in a timely manner. The results have been amazing. . Lori recommended replacing a window in our dining area with an 8 ft. sliding glass door. She had the vision to see how this would open up the dining and living area of our house - letting the view of our back yard in. Along with newly reupholstered dining chairs, it now my favorite room in the house. Best of all, our 23-year-old home looks refreshed! We look forward to working with Lori again soon on a kitchen cabinet remodel.

Lori was an amazing designer and project manager for our bathroom remodel. What I loved most about Lori was her attention to detail and her communication style. After each meeting, she would reiterate in an email what was decided upon in the earlier conversation. We were always on the same page. She was in tune with my personal style and considered it beautifully with her design and choices of materials. I would highly recommend Lori for any remodel.

I have worked with Lori Ramsay Design in the past and was more than pleased with not only her professionalism and great design ideas, but that she really listened to my 'vision' took into consideration how this one room (bedroom) would flow with the rest of my home. Needless to say, my favorite room.
We downsized to a much smaller and older home and of course, called upon Lori. She again listened to our vision of our kitchen and expanded upon that with an amazing design. The professionals she works with were also an amazing team. We did start with our own plumber, however, changed and used Lori's plumber, as we discovered, Lori oversaw every step of the process, kept in touch with us, which was a huge relief having Lori there every step of the way.
I highly recommend Lori Ramsey Design to all my friends.

Lori Ramsay is a great professional to work with. She designed and project managed 5 bathrooms and an office for me. My husband and I are delighted with the results. Lori took the time to find out what we wanted, she presented us with lots of different options, took me shopping, hired the contractor and sorted out all the details all the way through the work.
The results of her work are restful, spa-like bathrooms with harmonious colours, beautiful textures, soft lighting, exactly in keeping with the character of our home. The office, which leads to one of the bathrooms blends beautifully in materials used and colours chosen.
Her attention to detail and her emphasis on ensuring that the work was completed entirely to our satisfaction was perfect.
Thank you Lori!

Lori was an outstanding designer to work with. I worked with Lori Ramsey Design on several job sites and she out did herself every time. Going above and beyond when it came to accommodating schedules and helping with design selections. Lori brought a tremendous amount of creativity to each client and made stressful situations easy every time. I highly recommend Lori Ramsey Design to any clients and contractors.

I have consulted with Lori on several occasions regarding design and remodeling projects. She helped me select the perfect flooring
for my basement, a wood look vinyl that is water resistant, nice to walk on and makes the basement look and feel very inviting.
One thing I really appreciate about Lori is that she puts function first and then seeks the most beautiful option that will achieve the
desired outcome.
We have also worked together on my laundry room to select tile and wall color to coordinate with the cabinetry, washer and dryer.
I love how it turned out and Lori’s eye for color balance helped me to avoid selections that would have been very busy or dark.
The latest project we are consulting on is my living room conversion to a dining room. Lori helped me with paint color to go with window fabrics and wood flooring. Since I am in NY and she is in San Diego we work primarily through FaceTime and photos which
has been very effective and convenient.
I would recommend Lori to anyone seeking a talented designer who is trustworthy and works for her client’s benefit both aesthetically and financially.

Lori has a fantastic eye. I had no design "vision" but somehow, Lori designed my guest bathroom just as I wanted. She often made suggestions that saved me money and made key recommendations of where stretching my budget would improve the value of my home vs where something inexpensive would be a perfect fit. This made it easy to stay within budget. I've recommended her to friends already and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Lori is one of the many designers who use Design Alliance as a resource from which to purchase products for their design projects. We at Design Alliance are blown away by Lori's knowledge in interior design; specifically furniture and fabric history. She is a stickler for detail and has a great eye for color and design. Lori has a lively personality, is easy to work with and always demonstrates respect and professionalism. Any client, contractor, or vendor would be lucky to work with her as a designer.

Lori Ramsay helped me design my living room in Hopewell, New Jersey. She was attentive to detail and respectful of my view. She did not try to interject her own view over mine. She was tireless in providing me with samples of various materials for the window treatments and very patient. She spent a lot of time listening to me and discussing what I wanted to acheive with the room. She has an excellent eye for detail and color and provided me with several good ideas on how to proceed. I was so pleased with her work that I asked her to help me with a new house recently purchased in the Jacksonville area in Florida. The house is currently unfurnished. She again spent a lot of time looking at each room and asking me about how I wanted to use the various spaces. One room was particularly challenging to me--its a formal dining room that I don't think I will use and she gave me several great ideas on how to utilize that space. She has a good eye for color and was helpful in establishing color schemes. I would recommend her services to anyone. When you work with Lori it is evident she loves what she does and is 100% engaged in your project while she is working on it. She is trustworthy, professional, talented and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to ask for her help and advice in the future on any project I have.

Lori Ramsay is AMAZING! We met Lori through North Star Kitchen and Bath, the company we chose for our bathroom update project. We were impressed with Lori’s design expertise, and were astonished at how quickly she picked up on our style and tastes. During the course of our bathroom project, Lori was in constant communication with the various contractors, ensuring the project progressed smoothly and in a timely manner, in addition to providing us with daily updates.
We have flipped and remodeled numerous homes over the years, and have NEVER had such a positive, wonderful experience. And it was all because of Lori. Her attention to detail and her communication skills are nothing short of extraordinary. We unequivocally recommend Lori for your next design project. She will exceed your expectations.

During the remodel of my 3 bathrooms, Lori Ramsay was instrumental in consulting

It was indeed a pleasure to work with her. Lori went out of her way to get the project
completed to everyone's satisfaction. I would not hesitate to ask for her services
again, and I highly recommend her.

Lori has taken over both small and large renovation and decorating projects in our home over the last 5+ years. I hope she is able to share with you our crowning glory of our master bedroom. She transformed our bedroom into a truly picture perfect oasis of peace and calm. She was able to convince my husband to paint white; both our fireplace and dark wood entertainment center. My husband was very nervous when I explained we would be getting a chandelier for the bedroom. With its rustic yet feminine feel, the chandelier is truly one of many focal points. My husband is sold (me, too) on Lori's vision and talents in completing our renovations on time and within budget.

I have worked with Lori on two different projects--
Updating my kitchen a few years ago
Replacing my patio and walkway this summer
Working with Lori has been a wonderful experience and I enthusiastically recommend her. She listened carefully and provided the kind of help I needed to confidently make decisions and carry out both projects. She has an amazing sense of color and design and made suggestions that fit with my tastes, lifestyle and budget. She provided excellent resources for contractors, materials, etc. As a Certified Aging in Place Specialist she was attentive to possible future needs as I age.

Hi Love working with Lori. I had a remodel done for my kitchen and bathroom and Lori was very helpful in choosing the right colors to match and everything to coordinate. When you are spending so much money remodeling I felt it was important to have someone like her. I absolutely love my remodel and get complements all the time. Lori is very talented and listens to her clients.
