Space Planning

If function is the first order of business in your design project, then Leslie has the answers for you. From helping you imagine what your project could be through technical drawings and three-dimensional sketches to simply rearranging your furniture for you during a visit, Leslie provides excellent space planning advice for any size project education piece: before adding on, rethink how you use each room in your house. I recently saved a client $200,000 by taking over a second unused bedroom for her home-based office instead of purchasing a new building.

Color Consultation

No other decorative element brings homeowners to their knees faster than color. A color consultation will assist you in making the right color decision, whether for traditional paint or a decorative finish. During the consultation, I’ll explain the psychology and terminology of color and how it would affect each room. I’ll leave you with several samples and order complimentary 8×10 sheets of color samples to make absolutely sure you love the color before making the painting investment.

Tip: When painting your room, don’t neglect the ceiling. Be sure to purchase ceiling paint that is a 1/32 tint of the wall color to make a perfect match.

Expert advice on finishes

Whether building or remodeling, homeowners are faced with an overwhelming number of finish choices in their homes. Leslie provides excellent advice for all finishing choices in your home by educating you on the options and examining how you’ll use the product. From paint to flooring to countertops (and everything in between), Leslie recommends the best finishes for your style and budget.

Custom home fashions

As a fifth generation seamstress, Leslie can create stunning hand-crafted window treatments, bedding ensembles, and any other fabric-covered items in your home. With access to thousands of great quality fabrics, you’re sure to find the perfect match for your decor.

Tip: Raw silk is a stunning fabric for window treatments, but deteriorates when exposed to direct sunlight. Make sure to protect your investment by properly lining the window treatment.

Full service design

Leslie provides a concierge-level service that allows you to relax and focus on your busy life. She can create a design plan with you, take care of all the shopping, and arrange for all subcontractors to show up on time and in order.

Tip:Reliable, talented subcontractors are worth their weight in gold. Here are just a few I work with frequently: builder, decorative artist, painter, flooring installer, master tiler, professional organizer, landscaper, professional cleaner, upholsterer.
