Mises en scènes

My family moved to Paris just after learning that all of our personal belongings had been lost in a warehouse fire. Laurence helped me to recreate a sense of home in our new apartment. During our initial consultation, she provided the vision that I needed to begin acquiring new furniture, paintings and carpets. She went to several stores with me, helped me select furniture and fabrics, and even negotiated a substantial discount. She also sent me links and pictures when she would come across an item that might suit my taste. Working with Laurence made the process of rebuilding enjoyable and took the stress out of decision making. She has an incredible eye for color and placement, and the suggestions she made for rearranging furniture and paintings were spot on. She was always quick to reply to my frantic emails, when I was in a store trying to decide whether to buy something. Her advice helped steer me in the right direction. Laurence is very committed to her clients and follows up often to make sure that the project stays on track. She will work within your budget and time constraints. I highly recommend Laurence whether you are considering redoing a single room or an entire house.

Laurence selected and placed a new suite of office furniture for me. She transformed my office to the point that I am often visited by colleagues who want to see what was done. Laurence worked quickly with great results. I am very pleased!

When i moved to a new office at the American Embassy in Paris, Laurence took care of the selection and placement of the furniture and lamps and the result is fantastic. People come from all over the building to see how she transformed my office into a colorful yet relaxing place to work. She worked quickly and within a tight budget. I could not be more pleased.

Laurence has beautiful taste with an eye toward versatility and practicality. She showed me how to arrange my furniture along with my eclectic collection of unusual things I have picked up over the many years of living a vagabond lifestyle. Laurence was able to show me how to assemble this odd collection of stuff into a beautiful and tastefully decorated living area. She is fun to work with and was very respectful of my ideas and concerns. I would recommend her work to anyone who is looking to decorate anything on any budget.

Ms. Breeden assisted me in decorating my new apartment in Paris. Laurence knows her sources in Paris and London so well, and she has a contemporary and well-proportioned eye and taste for home furnishings and design in all budget ranges. Our time spent shopping together and trying out different options in my new home were hands-on, creative and enjoyable. I highly recommend Ms. Breeden for her shopper's knowledge as a true Parisienne, as well as her excellent taste and ability to "know" the client and her needs, both stylistically and in terms of cost. And last, but not least, Ms. Breeden speaks English and French fluently (very, very helpful in Paris!), and is a responsible professional.

We used Mises en scenes to help us decorate our apartment in France. From the first consultation, we knew that the decorator would be able to help us maximize the placement and use of our current items and help us to select and find new items to add the French touch we were looking for. From new drapes to furnishings, wall hangings, and lighting, she always had a wonderful recommendation. She is very client-focused, offering both guidance in the things we wanted to do on our own and assistance in those that needed professional knowledge. Always timely, courteous and responsive, we highly recommend this firm.
