Meet Laurie Montour
Laurie grew up in Southern California and always had an interest in the beauty her family of artists created, as well as the stunning coastline spanning from San Clemente to Newport Beach.
Driven by the arts and her creative spirit, she pursued ballet and acting before following her passion for interior design. She vividly remembers the yellow shag carpet and distinct furniture in her childhood best friend’s home and did not realize at the time she would make a career out of creating beautiful living spaces for her clients.
After purchasing her first home in Laguna Niguel, CA, she fell in love with the design process. She discovered she had a keen eye for color and the ability to pull together a cohesive design. This experience inspired her to quickly become an award-winning Interior Design Institute of Newport Beach, CA graduate.
Before forming her own design company, Laurie worked as a design assistant and a buyer for a premier Model Home Company and Ralph Lauren Home. She also spent over ten years with Mckee and Company, a high-end showroom and design studio based in Newport Beach, CA.
For the past 25 years, Laurie has been creating beautiful spaces for her clients in the Southern California landscapes of Orange County, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles. It has been particularly rewarding for Laurie to continue to work with repeat clients on multiple homes and projects throughout her career. While many of her projects have followed a California Coastal aesthetic, her primary goal is to create a home that reflects her client's unique personalities and lifestyles.
