Working with Laura was an experience that went far beyond what I expected from an interior designer! From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to collaborate with, approachable, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive to every detail and idea or concern I brought to the table. The entire process felt seamless, which made what could have been overwhelming feel exciting and inspiring instead.
It really does feel like she moves beyond the typical trends. She doesn’t design spaces that simply fo
I absolutely loved working with Laura during our renovation – she helped make our house into our dream home! Laura’s expertise, creativity, and sense of style have been invaluable through the entire design and selection process. She carefully listens to her clients and helps with the whole process from design to the finishing touches. Laura has a wonderful eye for detail and color. She pays close attention to the big picture as well as to every little detail. She was instrumental in every s
Last year we finally decided that it was time to refresh our home, but I didn’t know where to start. Laura guided us through her design process and managed our expectations, the vendors and contractors effortlessly. She absorbed our vision and transformed our home into a welcoming, functional space for me and my family to live, entertain, and enjoy. I recommend her as a designer, consultant, and project manager to anyone looking to elevate their home.
I was clueless about where to begin with my primary bedroom suite renovation until Laura came to the rescue. Her style guidance was much needed because, although I knew that I wanted a warm look and feel, I was having trouble finding the right materials in today’s colors and trends. Laura’s design ideas were both contemporary and classic, so I am not worried that my bathroom will look dated in 5 years.
Her technical drawings and clear communication allowed me to easily visualize the design. She
We worked with Laura on a kitchen, bath and laundry room remodel, and could not have been more thrilled with the outcome! Her guidance and input were invaluable --from working with us on the floor plan, to selecting the materials, to integrating a new kitchen into a 120-year-old house with original built-ins.
She steered us toward vendors of cabinets, counters, tile, flooring and other fixtures that fit into our budget, and was always happy to weigh in a little or a lot depending on what we nee
Working with Laura was a dream come true! My husband and I live in an Alameda home that was renovated by the previous owners, complete with lots of custom paintwork (including a pegasus mural on the living room ceiling!). After several years (and a lot of time spent staring at our surroundings during the pandemic), we knew it was time to make a change, but we wanted something unique and special. Laura came in with lots of fantastic ideas that really reflected our lifestyle, such as a couch with
Laura is an exceptionally talented designer. She took our rough ideas and created a design that surpassed our expectations. Not only are our renovated spaces stunning, but they seem original to our 1930s home — like they always should have been there.
Through her project management services, Laura also worked incredibly well with our contractor, ensuring the highest quality level and quickly correcting potential mistakes. Additionally, she did a phenomenal job styling our home after the contrac
Laura helped us redesign one of the bathrooms in our home, and we are very pleased with the results! As she created options for us, she took the time to get to know us and to look at the rest of our home to get a sense of what might work well within the context of our house. She provided a number of choices for us to consider across a few different budget ranges and was always open to our questions and ideas. She facilitated finding the tradespeople to do the work, and we enjoyed working with th
