"Laurie assisted my estate home construction company in staging

and ultimately selling one of my spec homes during the toughest

housing market in decades. Creating a home that has that warm, lived

in look is crucial to keeping a buyers interest, especially when its size

is in excess of 10,000 square feet. Thats a lot of empty space. Combine this with an already tight budget and the task becomes a difficult one.

Hartwell Design was instrumental in bringing my project to life

with her eye for detail, decor savy taste,

and ability to deliver within budget.
