"I loved working with Laurie and Julia! I was looking for help with paint colors, and help with decorating our living room. As soon as they arrived I told them I knew nothing about decorating, (I'm sure they could tell) but I felt very comfortable after talking with them and they asked and listened to what we wanted to accomplish. We needed some new furniture and Laurie was very mindful of blending our existing furniture into the plan. Their color choices were spot on, creating a warm atmosphere throughout our home. We couldn't be happier with the results!"

"We've had a phenomenal experience working with Laurie and Julia on our whole-house renovation project in the Madison area. It's a complex project complicated by the fact that we're currently living out of state. On a recent trip to Madison, we had 48 hours to make a series of major decisions, and Laurie and Julia were exactly the team we needed! They listened carefully, quickly picked up on the design and style aesthetic we liked, and then got to work helping us pick out everything: flooring, paint colors, bathroom tile, countertops, fixtures, and more. They made recommendations that were classy and affordable, and even went tile shopping with us to make sure we got the right quantity and size of materials. They did their homework and were prepared coming into the project and were very conscientious about how they spent their time with us. We would not hesitate to recommend them for any design project you may have, no matter how large or small. "

"We had the pleasure of working with Julia for our painting project which included changing colors of a kitchen, sunroom, dining, living, bedrooms, foyer, and hallways. She listened, asked questions and yet was efficient in helping us make decisions. Julia, selected colors from our slate foyer, our inspiration piece, and helped us understand how to coordinate these for a nice flow from room to room. She also addressed possible molding placement related to painting a paneled foyer. In addition, she left us with detailed notes about all that was discussed along with specific paint colors and finishes. These notes allowed us to be present during the exchange and were later regularly referenced as we purchased product and painted. Her expertise allowed us to update and freshen up our space. We love the new colors and fresh feeling. During this time, she also provided ideas for new lighting fixtures as well as curtains.
Our next project included updating an awkward family space. We spent decades trying to come up with a better feel for this dark, paneled room. Julia listened to our concerns, asked questions, determined how we use the space, and immediately brought forward structural (for built ins, possible wall removal, mantle placement), room arrangement, furniture placement, and color suggestions. In addition, Julia was respectful of our budget and considered using already existing furniture.
While sharing her ideas, Julia demonstrated and explained the whys of her suggestions, teaching us more about design! That same appointment, we made a visit to a carpet showroom where we worked with another professional. Julia’s respect for all was unwavering, allowing for a fruitful collaboration. This visit ended with decisions about carpet and tile and allowed us to move forward with confidence. After the visit, Julia shared resources and additional curtain ideas.
Working with Julia was not only fun but extremely productive. Our space will be ready for the holidays!
We are so very grateful for Julia’s expertise and professionalism."
