Building a house from scratch is stressful. There are hundreds of decisions that have to be made and always too many choices even if the budget is a factor. While everyone knows what they like, most people don't know how to select combinations of things that they will like. Nor do most people think about flow and continuity when selecting all of the pieces that make up an entire house. My wife and I were overwhelmed by the final result of our new home on the lake and it could not have happened without Lauren Roman. She was instrumental in the outcome of the lakeside covered porch and found us the most beautiful light fixtures inside and out. Each of our three bathrooms came out unique and stunning. The furniture in our lodge room is simply amazing. She made the decision process much easier by putting limited choices in front of us that we knew would make sense so just had to go by which one we liked best. I can only think of once where all the choices were rejected and she had to come back with a second round. She learned from us what we liked and wanted for the house even though we could not articulate it up front. She was not just there to make us feel good about our ideas or suggestions. I appreciated most that she was willing to speak up about why something was not a good idea and/or why what she wanted to do was better. At no time did I feel like Lauren was doing what Lauren would do in her own home. It was about finding out what would make us happy within the boundaries of good design and aesthetic appeal. The builder, Lauren and ourselves were a team and the result was beyond our expectations. We highly recommend using her talents to make your project less stressful and maximize the possibilities of an incredible result.

I’ve been working with Lauren the past 4 years. As a GC, the amount of work that she takes on, and therefore off of my plate, is invaluable.  It allows me to focus on the build without distraction. Lauren’s planning and organization of details for things such as plumbing fixtures, material selections, and general room to room furnishings, as well as the way she keeps the lines of communication open, helps us stay on schedule and avoid delays.  She's a great team player – taking input from not just the clients, but also the various trades and vendors – synthesizing and implementing that info throughout the project and creative process. She’s never afraid to dig into an obstacle and work with the team to come up with a creative solution she asks the right questions, and has great rapport with many specialty trades that she often leverages for unique aspects of a project.  Most importantly, I can rely on her to consistently deliver excellent service not just to our clients, but to our team whenever we need her.  Lauren is an incredible, invaluable asset to our team!!! When working with Lauren , in the end and along the way there are no problems, JUST SOLUTIONS!!!! Shamus Keating Owner/Operator Key-Day Builders Sanbornville/Wolfeboro NH

Lauren is the best interior designer! She is professional, knowledgeable, and creative - working with her is such a pleasure! Lauren helped me furnish and decorate a large living space at our home in the Lake Winnipesaukee area. She listened to my ideas and preferences, and brought them to life with the most beautiful results, I couldn't be happier! She made things look exquisite, paying close attention to detail, while also paying attention to cost, to ensure staying within our desired budget. I highly recommend Lauren and hope to work with her again in the future!
