“Working with Laurin was a dream. When renovating our home, I had a vision of what I wanted our it to feel like, but needed guidance and help to pin down specifics. From the first meeting Laurin was able to listen, and I could tell right away that she understood what I was looking for. The whole process was not only seamless, but fun! I never felt obligated to say I liked something I wasn’t sure about, and felt 100% comfortable and supported through the entire process.
Laurin has a true eye for beauty and is talented at what she does. She is able to figure out what your space needs structurally while maintaining uniqueness and beauty. Our home feels so special. If you are looking for someone to make your space feel efficient, meaningful, and beautiful, Laurin is your person.”

“Laurin was our designer for a large-scale covered deck, as well as some smaller projects. She is an absolute wizard when it comes to visualizing possibilities and presenting them, based on her client's ideas. She just "gets it." She also has tremendous expertise and technical knowledge that allow her to quickly assess the structural/engineering possibilities and limitations related to an idea, which really helps make the process streamlined and efficient. I couldn't recommend her more highly! ”

“At the beginning of 2021, I had a large portion of my house remodeled, which is something I had never done before. Laurin effortlessly guided me through the entire process of choosing finishes and flooring. I had a ton of questions, and she answered them all patiently and thoughtfully. Also, Laurin's wide-ranging knowledge and honest demeanor was beneficial to me and helped keep me within my budget. I would work with Laurin again in a heartbeat!”

"We had a fantastic experience working with Laurin. She totally got us, our aesthetics, and our goals- ensuring every detail aligned with our vision. The end result—a show stopper kitchen that is convenient and efficiently designed for enthusiastic home cooks and bakers, a dining room and coffee bar, stunning bathroom, custom bookshelf, and mudroom. Everything exceeded our expectations in both functionality and design.
Her insights and recommendations were incredibly valuable, and she brought great ideas to the project that truly enhanced the final outcome. She kept our budget in mind and was able to come up with really creative solutions so that we never felt like we had to compromise. It was clear she has a deep understanding of design and materials, and an eye for fun detail. On top of that, she was personable, easy to work with, and made the entire process enjoyable.
We’re thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Laurin to anyone looking for a thoughtful and skilled designer."

“Laurin is an excellent listener and a creative thinker. When she first eyed a tricky space in our home that wasn’t working for us, she came up with several ideas to make it function effortlessly. She’s kind and calm and smart, just the voice we were looking for in our renovation.”

“Laurin helped us with a remodel of our guest suite and kitchen storage area. She was great to work with. She quickly understood our style and sourced items we loved, including bathroom tile, plumbing fixtures, cabinetry, and special wood slabs. She was thorough and communicated effectively, which was important to us as we were living in another state at the time.”

“After Hurricane Helene hit my piano studio, Laurin helped me revamp the space completely. In the span of just a few days, we worked quickly and redesigned the studio to have a much cozier feel, designated areas for lessons versus office time, more privacy, and better use of the light and window treatments. The comments I have gotten since reopening have been so positive - people are really loving the feng shui of the space, and I'm loving seeing how professional it looks every day!”
