Then Laura of Vara, Inc. walked in. She is no-nonsense and very professional and definitely knows her business. She wasn't trying to push me into buying items I didn't need or up sale me at every turn. She helped me arrange the furniture I already had, and did a wonderful job of tying in the artwork I have with everything new we added. Her recommendations ended up being perfect. A few times I had my doubts but figured I could switch things back after she left but when I saw the finished project I literally was speechless. The few projects we did that I didn't listen to Laura are the only ones I regret. I don't mean to sound like a Vara, Inc commercial. I was just so surprised that some simple changes could make such a huge difference. My rooms look bigger. I never knew color choices were so important and could change the whole feel of my home. Watching her work was like watching a magician on stage. Several time I left for work thinking she had really messed up this time only to return home and be floored.I always liked entertaining but now I look for reasons to have friends, family, even customers over to my house. She made my house into my dream home and through the whole process she did not once make me feel like I had no style or taste. I never felt uncomfortable for any reason. I will recomend Vara,Inc to anyone who needs blinds, furniture, carpet or pretty much anything else. I am 100% happy with our new addition and all the work they did in the original part of the house. Yes, I am a convert.

The door to the showroom was open and inviting the day I arrived in downtown Lancaster, much like…read moreowner Alison McIndoe. Her warm and friendly smile welcomed me to the Shoppe at AK Interiors. The colorful flowers adorning the window out front made an elegant entrance, and the design continued throughout with classic furnishings inside. Unique items kept catching my eye as I perused the store, but one item in particular begged for my attention: a little black and white dog figurine sitting in front of the window. His name is "Bergere," after the chair, and he has become a beloved mascot in the store. Alison has been in the design business for most of her life. In fact, growing up in her parents' store in Pennsylvania, McIndoe's, is where her passion for design began. With a degree in Interior Design and lots of experience working in the design and building industry, Alison opened AK Interiors in 1996, working from her home. At the time, she was a single mom and it allowed her to be easily available. A little more than a year ago, she decided it was time to venture out and open a boutique home furnishings shoppe in Lancaster. The Shoppe at AK Interiors is staffed by owner Alison and three other employees. The 1,100-square-foot space includes offices for the design team and a room for meeting clients. AK Interiors works with all different types of customers: residential, commercial and renovations. One service that AK Interiors offers is "Room in a Day." Basically, they use clients' existing furnishings and accessories, sometimes borrowing from other rooms, and then Alison and staff design their clients' space. While I was looking around The Shoppe, I noticed there was long hallway filled with artwork; I was intrigued so I asked about it. It turns out that The Shoppe participates in Lancaster's First Fridays where they feature local artists' works, music, drinks and nibbles. The Shoppe at AK Interiors is a great place to get ideas, purchase items for gifts, and furnish your home or business. As for Bergere the dog, if anyone is interested, he is for sale.

I was fortunate to connect immediately over the phone with Interior Designer Laurie Foster, who not only answered my initial questions (delivery to my far-away town? Yes. Do they carry Bassett furniture? Yes.) but also asked me for some detail about what I was looking for. This was on a Friday afternoon, and thanks to a quick email exchange after our phone call, Laurie had prepared to meet me by the time I had arrived at the store the next morning. She has made print-outs of the rug in my living room that I wanted to be in conversation with our new sofa and chairs. She helped by showing me potential fabrics, leathers, sizes, and placement of furniture, and much more. Laurie is a terrific listener, with an artist's eye and mind. She is absolutely a gift to everyone who shops at David's Interiors, and I recommend both her and the store itself to anyone searching for high-quality sofas and chairs.
