Kind Words

  • " Lara did a fantastic job in helping update the look and feel of my 1890 New Englander. Her guidance on color selection achieved the goal I had of making my home more modern and sophisticated, while maintaining the old school bones. She was methodical in her approach, spent a lot of time helping me understand, put into words and ultimately colors what i was trying to achieve with the update."

    Bret, Portsmouth NH

  • “Your sensitivity to what looks good and what matters to me has allowed me to truly enjoy my home (and my art collection!) in a new and profound way.”

    -Andrea, Harvard MA

  • ''Having traveled to several parts of the world has enriched Lara’s natural talent! She is able to utilize many styles, colors and textures, easy to work with (via Zoom and phone) and sent swatches to me so I didn’t have to venture out to the paint store. I look forward to continuing our wonderful decorating journey for the new accessible home my husband and I are building.''
