OUR PROCESS
“We worked with Laura and her team on our new build in Paradise Valley. We were extremely impressed with the process from the first meeting through the last install. They truly understand the design process from space planning and functionality to making a home look beautiful. Laura and her team are extremely client focused, responsive, and solutions oriented.

"I chose Laura Kehoe from a recommendation and viewing her website. From the very first meeting with her I knew right away she understood our lifestyle needs. Our project was an older Spanish style home that needed a facelift with painting, light fixtures, custom furniture, window coverings etc. When the project was complete the space had our personality and we love it! Laura is connected to wonderful craftsmen and sources. With her expertise our home is warm and beautiful!"

"My husband and I couldn't be happier with the assistance from Laura Kehoe to design our home! We recently purchased our home and wanted some help designing the open floor plan and custom furniture to fit the space. Laura was prompt in returning our calls and scheduling our first meeting. We were pleasantly surprised with her ideas that utilized our style and ideas about the new house. Throughout the entire process, Laura goes out of her way to assist us in any way we need. We would have never expected to have such thorough service! We couldn't be happier with the result and can't wait to hire her again some day!"

"As a local realtor, my clients look to me to provide advice on homes. I provide what knowledge I can when it comes to design and always turn to Laura for her professional visions. I have witnessed Laura's design skills in action as she has assisted numerous home buyers and sellers I have worked with as well as the design of a personal remodel. For our traditional home, she created some wonderful concepts that added simplicity and neutral tones that both updated our house and complimented the original architecture. I appreciated being pushed out of our comfort zone with some great patterns and textiles. From complete home renovations to furnishings, Laura has the ability to transform spaces."

"I could not have asked for a better experience working with Laura and her team. My project was quite big (full gut renovation and decor) and I am absolutely thrilled with every aspect of their work! I felt Laura and the rest of LKD really took time to understand my taste and my lifestyle needs and their design ideas were spot-on from the get-go. I found it was best to give them a lot of creative license and trust them, even when I was a bit unsure about a suggestion (which barely ever happened). They definitely always knew best! I felt the finished product was completely “me” while still having their unique, creative stamp on it that I could never pull off on my own. My friends say the same thing – that it is completely “me” and “belongs in a magazine.” I absolutely adore my newly renovated and furnished home and only wish I had an excuse to keep buying homes for them to design! Their ideas and selections were fresh, chic, sophisticated and stylish without feeling trendy. I am so glad I found them in the Valley! When I searched for a designer, I kept seeing the same look that has dominated this area for way too long (too much brown, too baroque and overdone, etc.) and an overall lack of originality. Aside from their talent, a major reason why I am so thrilled that the whole team is so great to work with. They are incredibly friendly, fun, organized, and responsive."
