Testimonials
We absolutely love how the entire project came together from start to finish! The attention to detail and design is evident in every corner. The whole space feels uniquely tailored for our family. As a Senior Project Manager who has worked with many designers, collaborating with The LYS Team has been a breath of fresh air. The level of detail on the prints provided within the 30 day pre-construction agreement, far surpassed my expectations. From the very beginning, their vision was clear and concise, and the communication was punctual. Their willingness to work with us and consider our suggestions made the entire process enjoyable. This cooperation from the LYS Team helped ensure that the project would stay on schedule and allow us as the General Contractor to be as efficient as possible. This has been an exceptional project and the results speak for themselves. On behalf of Oster Services, I would like to thank Krystina, Laura, Meredith and the team of exceptional individuals for working with us. I personally believe this is one of our most refined projects and would like to acknowledge the significant effort your team has demonstrated.”
We are so happy with our home renovation project. It’s like a totally new home and we feel that the LYS team did an outstanding job elevating the decor to the next level. Laura and Krystina were a pleasure to work with!”
I cannot emphasize enough the tremendous impact the LYS team had on our home. From the beginning, their space planning efforts helped transform our floor plans. They were a partner to us every step of the way, providing full service design, coordinating with our builder and always advocating for what they felt was best for us and for the build. They provided valuable input on where compromises could be made in favor of savings, while giving their honest opinion on where dollars would be well spent going the extra mile – and my gosh did those details make a HUGE difference. We thought the house looked beautiful all the way through construction, but on furniture installation day….. it just kept getting better! The team’s attention to detail was second to none and we could not be more grateful for their involvement in curating our home!”
My wife and I have truly come to rely and count on LYS and team. We are beyond grateful to have been fortunate enough to work with them over the past 6 years. They have been absolutely instrumental in the design and build of our home, several additional projects we since have undertaken, and helping us through the entire furnishing process. I mean this with 100% sincerity, there is no way our home would be what it is today without them. Thank you so much for all the support and help over the years.”
The design outcome matched our objective perfectly. We communicated that we wanted a contemporary and comfortable house with more use of day light. Each room has its own character using the above concept. The living room and kitchen are blending together excellently. The lights are phenomenal, including the ones in the entrance. The furniture selection in the living room in combination with the redesign of the fireplace works really well. We love to sit near our fireplace. The kitchen and pantry are not only beautiful, but they are also very practical. Giving our love for cooking and dining, this is another example how the design met our objectives. The adjacent dining room is a beautiful great place to entertain. The entry came out fabulously. The combination of furniture, artwork and light color are astonishing. The different bathrooms are all unique in their own ways and fit their purpose (e.g. master, guest and basement). The redesign of the guest bathroom is beautiful and significantly improved over the old design. The basement redesign including main, office, wine room and craft room makes it to another place in the house you love to be. The selection of the furniture fits it really well. At the end of the day, our master bedroom with the paneled ceiling is the perfect place to end the day.”
Our experience with LYS was fantastic. We engaged with the LYS team from the outset of our new build project. The team listened to our desires for our family home and made significant revisions to our architectural plans as part of the space planning phase – which we didn’t notice on paper but now see were critical to daily life in the home. We tasked LYS with the interior finish selections for the whole home and asked them to stick within our budget. The process and outcome are nothing short of phenomenal and they made our lives easy throughout ny dealing with specific Q&A directly with the builder. The interior design and furnishings are spectacular in appearance and functionally thoughtful/livable for our family with young kids. LYS listened to our tastes but also pushed us to think outside of the box in some key areas and we are so grateful that they did. We will not go through another project without LYS.”
The entire LYS team never fails to Wow from inquiry to install. Receptive, friendly, organized and extremely professional. A very classy operation. I love everything they have done to make my home feel fresh and updated.”
The attention to every aspect of the project had its own unique identity room-to-room. LYS was able to capture the vision of what we wanted… they were able to take our ideas and where able to put the puzzle together.”
We couldn’t be happier with LYSHD for our Lower Level project. From start to finish, the design process was easy and fun, and the implementation smooth. LYSHD took the needs and ideas we had for the space to the next level. Each living area was thoughtfully customized, and the attention to detail in the design and furnishings is clear. The final result is a beautiful level that is as comfortable as it is elegant. We would choose LYSHD again for our next project!“
The entire LYS team was instrumental in collaborating with us to create a unique and beautiful home that reflected our lifestyle, design preferences, and personal special places and pieces. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Laura and her colleagues in creating our new incredible retreat, thank you.“
