Lori K Design Studio | Chico, CA

“When we our bought house 7 years ago I knew the primary bathroom needed a complete overhaul. The day we looked at the house I told my husband the bathroom had to go…although spacious it was stuck in the 80’s with a monstrous tub and carpet everywhere. I once read a designer describing some rooms as needing a “slap in the face.” Ours needed more like a left hook.

Unbelievably, six years went by before I took the first steps to get the project rolling. After calling several general contractors I discovered the good ones all had projects lined up for the next year to 18 months, in large part due to the rebuilding underway in Paradise.

Serendipitous is one of my favorite words to toss out occasionally. Discovering Lori K Designs in a Google search was definitely serendipitous. Finding the right designer is largely about trust and I knew the first time we met I had hit the designer jackpot.

Part of my procrastination was from not knowing exactly what I wanted. I would have struggled with indecision were I picking out all the items for a bath remodel myself, but with Lori’s guidance the choices came easily. She has a great eye for color and materials and a vision for the space itself.

Another attribute Lori possesses is organization. She stays on top of the schedule and communicates well with her client as well as her contractors. There are no surprises. And speaking of contractors, she manages to find the best in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting and tile…all were top notch. Lori went the extra mile for us by installing the film (twice!) on the shower window after I ordered the wrong type of film. She strives to please!

We are both very happy and feel we finally entered the 21st century with our new bathroom space. If there are any regrets it’s that I did not Google sooner!
