Laura is nothing short of amazing. I originally hired Laura on a recommendation to to do a new finish on an antique mirror. She has since painted all of the rooms in my house over the past year. She is very detail-oriented and all of her work is beautiful and precise. Laura is first and foremost an artist, specializing in artistic finishes for walls and furniture, but she also does pretty much any type of traditional painting projects. For me, Laura created some incredible false wood beams with a faux wood finish; stained my wood gates, painted a beautiful sunset/sky mural in the kids' playroom and transformed an old glossy red bench into a stylish chic entryway centerpiece with turquoise chalk paint. Even though she doesn't normally do refinishing work, I convinced her to refinish my ugly old oak spiral staircase, and as always, the results were amazing. The best thing about Laura is she is very honest. She charges a modest hourly rate instead of giving you an overpriced bid like most painting contractors who then sub the job out to a guy with minimal skills. Laura is a true crafts person who takes pride in her work and wants to do the best possible job for her clients. I would recommend her to anyone who values true craftsmanship. read more
