Laura was recommended to me by another interior designer. She interviewed well and I did hire her…read moreto help with the design of my kitchen and master bathroom. The process was not at all what I expected. The initial meeting was short. After spending a few thousand dollars, I did not get what I wanted. The contract was signed to provide me with a design and materials selection. I did not get either. The design has to be done over as the contractors are unable to provide estimates based on the measurements or the concept. The materials selection was not handed over to the client. My suggestion to anyone who hires an interior designer is to be EXTREMELY careful on what you will receive at the end of the process. My experience was not a pleasant one and turned out extremely expensive in the end as I have had to re-do everything. Needless to say the process was handled extremely unprofessionally. If Customer Service were paramount she would try to make things right.... continues to handle unprofessionally.

All for an affordable price, not out of reach for a public school teacher. Now, guests enter my home and immediately comment on how beautiful it is.

My husband and I have lived in our house since 2011. It was built in 2000. The walls were yucky…read moredark tan, 12x12 tan tile was used on the floor and ALL countertops and backsplash. The cabinets were super builder grade and were falling apart. In August 2020, we decided to give our house an update. I found Heather through Yelp. I didn't think I could afford her, but to my surprise I could! We met with Heather in person. She wore a mask the whole time, which I appreciated. She listened to our ideas, we walked through our house, she gave recommendations, and then she went home and went to work. I did my own homework and shared my Pinterest ideas with her. After that, she recommended lighting, paint colors, and contractors. She recommended Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring, which we loved and ended up installing. I was really undecided on a countertop. She took the time to FaceTime with me while I was at Bedrosians and helped me finalize my decision. We absolutely love everything Heather was very friendly, definitely knowledgeable, and helped me make a house into a home. Thank you Heather and good luck on your new adventures. April 2021: I just have to write a quick update to praise Heather again. For a nominal hourly fee she helped me choose a paint color to help my beautiful front door stand out. She confirmed that I wasn't crazy in wanting to paint the porch ceiling black, and helped me with a decorative question. Thank you again Heather. I appreciate you.

I've seen some of Heather's work through her social media, including the exterior design service and I knew I wanted to work with her. She was so pleasant to work with. She went over the process with me, took pictures of the exterior and then we talked about the look I was going for. She listened and went home to work on this project. I was shocked when she sent over the rendering of our home with the colors she chose! It absolutely changed the entire look of the home, from dowdy to modern, but not too modern, and so chic!! It was worth every cent! If you're looking to give your current home a face-lift, give Heather a call! Thanks for your help on this matter! I hope we can work together again on something else!
