Staging Testimonials
"We have a stately 5 bedroom home (about 5,600 sq ft) on the TPC Piper Glen golf course that needed to be ready for sale in a short period of time. The house is a fine home in excellent condition with good curb appeal, but it did not well.We hired Laura Gurrad to tell us how to make a show place home using the things we already owned with a reasonable shopping budget. We needed a professional who would tell us the truth and not sugar coat what we needed to do to get our home ready for sale. Laura sold us in the first 5 minutes.
She did a total room by room and outside inspection of the problem points. She took a thorough inventory of all the "good" assets that we had for decorating. Then, she created a staging plan and schedule for us.
Phase one was to get each room organized. After organization Laura worked her magic by using much of what we owned to make each room tell a unique story to a potential buyer. She treated our shopping cash like it was her own money and it was amazing how far she made our budget go.
Laura literally turned our entire home into a showcase within 10 days from start to finish. She was on budget, on time, and delivered a superior result. Fabulous experience from start to finish."

Color Consultations
Selecting paint from the thousands of colors in paint decks has always been terrifying. As an interior decorating professional I have the responsibility to keep my clients current on the trends happening within the industry. People are intimidated by color but are desperate to have it in their homes. I can make the process of selecting paint colors for a room or an entire house a snap. I am a Certified Color Consultant, recognised by The Decorating and Staging Academy, the WCAA, CHF, RESA, and IRIS.
My training and experience allow me to bring the latest techniques and trends to my clients. Traditional interior design can take a alot of time and money but adding the right color to a space can give you instant gratification for a fraction of the cost. If you want a room that is transformed for a price tag everyone can afford request a Color Consultation.
I will leave you with your Personal Perfect Color Palette, prepared especially for you based on the results of a color test and your preferred home colors. Carry it with you when you shop, you won't make any more bad choices when it comes to color. Pricing starts at $125.

"You are the guru of color, I would never have had the courage to put that much color on the walls without you to hold my hand. My home looks like something out of a magazine now, everyone asks what the colors are, and I need more of your cards to hand out. Thanks for being so patient and taking my home to a level I only dreamed of."

Redesign Testimonials
"Brian walked in last night and couldn’t believe how great the bookshelves look. He said it was amazing how much lighter and brighter the room looks and how getting rid of some things actually made the beautiful things that we already had stand out.
The best part was that I didn’t buy anything new and you used what we already had. After 10 years it finally looks finished! You are a genius! Thank you so much for your time and hard work. You are such a joy to work with. Your fee was so low everyone can afford to hire you!
Your biggest fan,"
