We loved working with Lorain Design Associates. They took our idea and turned it into a reality. Penny was available every step of the way. Penny's love for design made the project even more exciting. Our business is now open and we receive comments all the time on how beautiful our shop is. We couldn't have done it without the assistance of Lorain Design Associates. I encourage everyone to use Penny and her team of amazing designers! We are so happy with how our business turned out! We would highly recommend her to everyone! - Tim & Lacie
