**★★★★★ — Jenny Nugent, June 2017**

> Leslie Wilson helped us transform our living/family room into a mid-century modern inspired space.  She has exceptional design sense and was wonderful to work with.  We love the end result and will use Bricolage for our future renovations.

**★★★★★ — chriseck, Jan. 2014**

> When our bathroom was determined to have toxic black mold inside the walls, our friends at Bricolage went into action, designing for us, not only a cleaner more efficient space but an updated, beautiful one as well. They listened to our needs and came through with the perfect livable design for our family. Thank You!

**★★★★★ — lesrosenberg, Jan. 2014**

> As a Construction Manager, I was acquainted with Leslie Wilson of Bricolage when she was a Project Manager at Frank Gehry's office, so when I learned she had started her own firm, and I needed some remodeling done on my own house, she was the first person I thought of.
> Leslie brings big-project experience and know-how to smaller projects. She handled a really difficult remodel for me, with grade-level changes, code issues, etc., without any problems or challenges to her expertise. She also understands materials and construction, so she is able to keep costs to within a project budget without ruining the design.
> I have since hired her for some of my Construction Management projects, and she always does a fantastic job. She is my go-to architect.

**★★★★★ — j140rey, April 2013**

> Leslie and her team where smart, conscientious and thorough in every aspect of our bathroom design and renovation. From the design comps and selection of materials  /  fixtures / cabinetry  the vender recommendations all aspects were handled cleanly and professionally. No surprises only raves for this company. Two thumbs up!

**★★★★★ — Brett Conrad, April 2013**

> Leslie is very creative and we really got the best result taking a bland home and turning into a real eye-popper that fits our style and design aesthetic.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Nice little office....** *(in Photo Questions)*

Please tell me  the dimensions of this room? 
Thanks,
Karen

A: the room is 10'-8&quot; x 17'-3&quot;

**Q: What is the vanity top made of?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The counter top is quartz from Caesar Stone - 1141 Pure Whitehttp://www.caesarstoneus.com/en/The-Catalog/Pages/1141%20Pure%20White.aspx

**Q: I love this accent wall, but I am wondering if it will be a nightmare** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It really isn't. I used the same tile as a backsplash in a kitchen - behind a cooktop where the grease can get trapped. We had no problems. It can be wiped down easily. Nothing gets 'trapped' in the grooves - they are actually quite subtle.

**Q: Interior** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you post interior pics of this house...interested to see how inside looks

A: I did not work on the interior of the house, so I should not take the credit :). The style is pretty in sync with the exterior.

**Q: love the sinks** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where are the sinks from? What type of counter is that? Very nice!

A: The counter top is quartz from Caesar Stone - 1141 Pure Whitehttp://www.caesarstoneus.com/en/The-Catalog/Pages/1141%20Pure%20White.aspx

**Q: What type of wood is used for the siding?  What color is the stucco?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thank you.

A: Wood is oiled Ipe, and the stucco is custom color 'to match architectural concrete'.
