About the Designer
Hi – I am Lori Whitaker-Noel, Lori Noel for short. I am a designer with a focus on Lifestyle development. I
have been designing spaces now for over 30 years. They were not easy years and there were times
when I had to work in various industries to survive, but these years have been extremely rewarding! I
am blessed beyond words that I can successfully assist clients with the designs of their dreams - across
the United States.
I grew up during a time where my idea of designing spaces was not exactly the norm. When everyone
was doing neutrals, I was embracing color. I still do! For me, it’s never been about following trends, but
declaring individuality. If, you have ever been ridiculed for your vision; judged by old-fashioned
standards and talked about, you know where I’m coming from. Elitist attitudes plagued the industry at
that time. Only a ‘certain style and standard of design was considered upscale.’
Street designs, living organically, ethnic cultures and alternative lifestyle philosophies did not fit into this
rigid category. As a result, ‘personalized design’, or design which was contrary to the designer’s vision
was often patronized, if recognized at all. My style of design for each client is simple: I give the clients
what they want.
Thank God for HGTV and Public Television! They have brought lifestyle and personal design to everyone.
Because living well is for everyone!
FOR THOSE WHOSE LIVING SPACE JUST NEEDS A SIMPLE REFRESH,
LET US SHOW YOU HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR SPACE FROM AVERAGE TO IMPRESSIVE!
YOUR SPACE. YOUR STYLE. SIMPLY REFRESH.

Recognizing that many clients' homes and offices don't require Lengthy interior design projects, Refresh the Nest provides them with “Immediate design and interior styling services, tailor-made to make their spaces functional and beautiful.”
WHY WE'RE DOING IT
“We're very passionate about the process - collaborating with our clients. There are so many pretentious myths surrounding Interior Design.

We work to create beautiful spaces which are fully functional for their lifestyle - The impact it has on them never gets old!
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE FROM THE REST?
It's been interesting to see over the past 20 years how the industry is finally listening to the needs and the desires of the client to create the spaces of their dreams - something that we've been doing since the very beginning. To create dream spaces, you must tap into the dreams the clients have for living well - by their definition. We've always put our client's vision first.
