I reached out to her before moving from Colorado to Illinois, and she took the time to schedule a call and clearly explain her role as an interior decorator and how she could help based on my space and preferences. > > Dawn provided detailed layout plans along with furniture, bedding, electronics, and artwork recommendations—all of which perfectly matched my style and lifestyle. Her guidance not only made the process easy, but it also saved me over $900. > > I truly got everything I asked for and more. Thank you, Dawn! I will absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for an interior decorator.” **★★ — K. Shactman, Jan. 2025** > I hate writing this but want to make sure others are aware of our experience. My husband and I worked with Dawn at our previous house and loved working with her, so when we moved, it was a no-brainer to reach out to her again. Her first visit to our new house was great- we picked out a bunch of paint colors and she sent us a comprehensive summary of everything we discussed. At the end of the visit, we made a follow-up appointment since we had more to discuss. Our second visit went long, but we didn’t mind paying extra since we were getting a bit done and liked her ideas. Since we were covering a lot of ground and moving fast, Dawn told us not to take notes because she would be sending us a summary, as well as links to the furniture and fixtures she had in mind for the various spaces. > > A week or so after the second visit, I reached out to Dawn since we hadn’t received our summary. No response. A few days later, I sent a follow-up email. Still no response. My husband emailed. No response. We called, we left voice messages, we texted and still no response. We tried to be understanding – things happen and sometimes things get delayed- but we never even received a reply to our emails/phone calls/texts (it has now been over three months). > > We had contractors scheduled to begin work and did not have all of our paint colors or fixtures to be installed so we had to reschedule (and we all know how difficult it is to get good contractors). At the end of the day, we were really frustrated because we wasted time and money on designs that were are unable to execute because Dawn disappeared. Ultimately, we had to hire another designer to do exactly what we had already paid Dawn to do. If you do hire Dawn, be prepared to take notes (even if she tells you not to) in case she ghosts you, too. **★★★★★ — Erin, Jan. 2024** > Dawn was AWESOME. She helped us design our bathroom for a remodel, and then we liked her work so much that we reached out to her again to help with our living room. She even installed curtains for us! She takes all the stress of finding the right product or item out of the process, as she suggests a variety of things that work for your budget, style, and project logistics. She is responsive, flexible, and extremely easy to work with. Highly recommend her and I'm sure we will be reaching out to her again ourselves soon enough :) **Comment from Eye to Eye Interiors, LLC:** > Thanks so much! It was a pleasure working with you as well. **★★★★★ — Christina Kaminski, Nov. 2022** > Dawn is absolutely fantastic. I’ve used her 3 times for a hodgepodge of projects, and she has exceeded my expectations each time. I never know quite what I need or I might have some ideas that I’m unsure about. I explain whatever is in my head to Dawn and she completely understands me and knows where to start. She teaches me as she goes - the concepts and framework. She never pushes anything. Great listener. Copious note taking that is summarized and sent back to me after the appointment. She’s punctual and a strong communicator at every step of the process. Fantastic service all around and worth every penny. > > I will be using Dawn for years to come and I couldn’t be more excited!! **★★★★★ — HU-342379064, May 2021** > We are so happy we found Dawn. She was flexible with times for the consultation and did a great job of helping us select furniture, art, rugs, etc. to complement what we already had. We just moved and were still learning our style, and she was quick to find things that my wife and I both liked (while settling a few small disputes!). She has a great eye for paint colors and we can't wait to get going with the recommendations. Really appreciated the detailed email she provided following the visit, made it easy to find all the things we discussed. **★★★★★ — chocolatebarb, Dec. 2020** > Dawn was such a pleasure to work with. I have spent the last couple years hoarding paint chips and pulling my hair out trying to find colors that would update our home but work with what we have. Since we were about to put in a brand new wood floor, it seemed like I finally had to make a decision that would coordinate with a new floor as well. Dawn came to the house (with a mask) prepared with tons of paint samples. Through having me fill out a questionnaire prior to her arrival, showing me some pictures, and listening to my descriptions of the feel I was looking for, she quickly and efficiently narrowed down the paint palette. We discussed a bunch of other issues besides paint colors and I welcomed her perspective on what were priorities, keeping budget in mind. After the session she sent me a detailed email with pictures, links to resources, and step by step directions on how to go about certain projects. I so appreciated her organization, and efficiency in providing me with the details I needed. I will definitely use her again! Thanks Dawn! **★★★★★ — REBEKAH HAMILTON, Feb. 2018** > Dawn was professional and got right to work helping us pick colors and furniture placement. She used what we already owned to create a warm and relaxing home. We have worked with other interior designers and Dawn would rank at the top. **★★★★★ — Allison Heverin, Dec. 2017** > Dawn did a great job on our complicated consultation involving multiple rooms and several problem areas. We needed a lot of help not only on typical designer projects such as room lay-out, paint color, light fixtures, etc., but also an informed opinion on how to re-design our main entryway stair case and huge living room fireplace. She listened to our thoughts, and then came up with a number of great options, making sure to remind us of quite a few smaller design issues involved that we would never have considered. We have gotten started implementing some of the ideas she gave us in her consultation, and can't wait to see the results! **★★★★★ — Lauren Padillo, July 2017** > I had a wonderful experience working the Dawn. Dawn is very professional and is a great listener. She really works to find your style and provide you with ideas and inspiration. We had recently purchased a cape cod with low ceilings and an awkward layout. We decided to change lighting, floors, paint the walls and get some new furniture. Once Dawn came in I was able to start sleeping again, because I wasn't overwhelmed with decisions and wondering if everything will look pulled together. Dawn helped me choose paint colors that complimented each other from room to room, fixtures to make sure all of our lighting flows. Told me exactly what size furniture and what kind of furniture for each room. Dawn gives your project ideas and inspiration. I love working with her and I will be calling her for all my design/decorating projects. I can't wait to see our completed house. **★★★★★ — Peggy Vogel, May 2017** > Dawn is amazing! She is always on time and she's very good at what she does. She has an eye for the right paint color for a room. Instead of mulling over many paint samples and taking all that time; call Dawn and she will resolve your paint color issue quickly. Believe me, she is worth it and she has a reasonable consulting fee. Also she gave me suggestions on redesigning my fireplace, curtains, a rug, art that fits the space and a cool hanging lamp. She has many great ideas. Give her a call and you won't be sorry! **★★★★★ — jengianares, July 2016** > I would highly recommend Eye to Eye Interiors for helping with your home decorating/remodeling/staging projects! Dawn was a pleasure to work with. Very easy to talk to and work with, and had just the perfect suggestions for how to complete furnishing and staging my rooms. I have a newly remodeled townhome, and her suggestions and input were just what I needed to complete the furnishing and projects I had already started ! She will work with your individual style and tastes, and she is very hands on and helpful. She saved me time and energy in selecting the wall art, furniture, carpeting, lighting, window treatments, etc. that I still needed. Thank you again Dawn! **★★★★★ — dersil16, April 2016** > Dawn has been a tremendous help with the design of our home renovations! We were a bit overwhelmed with the idea of trying to update our home ourselves. After watching countless hours of HGTV and attending a few home renovation conventions, we had no idea where to start. We came across Dawn’s information and initially, we just wanted her help with the wall color selection for our kitchen, but ended up getting much more! She helped us create a cohesive design scheme throughout our house from the kitchen to our bathrooms and laundry room. She was able to take a look at our home decorating style and translate that into something more modern and fresh – something that we had been struggling with! She even gave us advice on easy ways we could restructure the different rooms that we initially thought would be way out of our price range. The best part is that Dawn has a keen eye for pulling the whole look together in a cohesive budget-friendly way. Moving forward, we will definitely be calling her any time we get the itch to upgrade a different part of our home. **Comment from Eye to Eye Interiors, LLC:** > Thanks so much for sharing your experience - it's been a pleasure working with you! ## Selected projects - [Main](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/main-pj-vj~7358504) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 5 - [Brookwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brookwood-pj-vj~5620941) - Location: Aurora, IL - Photos: 12 - Description: Our client asked us to design their bedrooms from scratch.

A: Of course! We sourced a "wall" of twinkle lights (look for "LED twinkle lights" on Amazon) and hung them from small nails all in a row. Important to use LED because they don't generate any heat! We then installed a simple white non-decorative curtain rod and hung a silver metallic sheer curtain on the rod to cover up all the wires and serve as the backdrop. Make sure the curtain panel or panels are approx 30% wider than the space you're covering up. A silver or gold curtain can work, but stay away from white because it won't mask the wires so well. Good luck! **Q: Can you please tell me how you created the lighting behind the bed?** *(in Photo Questions)* How did you create the lighting behind the bed? A: Of course!

Good luck! **Q: Need Paint Advice** *(in Paint)* Hi, I'm painting my entire main floor. Attached is my dining area which has the most colour. The kitchen cabinets are cloud white and the island is medium brown. My entire house is cloud white and gray (Storm and metropolitan). I love the colours but I would like to go a little lighter. Also, thinking of going with simply white BM for ceiling and trims. Any suggestions on lighter colours that do not look white when on the wall? A: For some warm neutrals to consider, take a look at Edgecomb Gray HC-173, Baby Fawn OC-15 and Collingwood OC-28. For trim, my favorite is White Dove OC-17. And flat ceiling white for the ceiling (exceptions are bathroom ceilings and cove, sloped or other architecturally interesting ceilings). The only sure way to make sure something will work in your space is to bring in swatches so you can see the color in your lighting. (You can order free 8x8 large swatches from Benjamin Moore). Even better, hire a color consultant to help you pick - it can save a lot of time and guesswork. Best of luck! **Q: Dining Room** *(in Photo Questions)* What color is used in the dining room? Thank you! A: This is Benjamin Moore 1587 - Gibraltar Cliffs. Thanks for asking! **Q: What does integrated led mean? What kind of light bulbs does it take?** *(in Product Questions)* A: This comment is very late to the party, but integrated means that the bulb is built into the fixture. Because it's an LED bulb, it's expected to last a very long time (30+ years typically), so no need to change it. **Q: Brick house, black shutters, what color door?** *(in Design Dilemma)* We had to replace our black door and are debating whether to paint it light to medium green, a buttery yellow, or possibly blue. Advised to keep it light to avoid the "greenhouse effect" with the storm door. Suggestions? Thanks all! A: I love what a pop of color does at the front door. So welcoming! But to have a cohesive look, definitely paint your storm door to match. I also vote for taking down the door shutters and framing the space with tall urns filled with boxwood or evergreens. New, larger sconces are a good idea too. I pictured Kichler's 9653TZ Tannery Bronze Madison Single Light 20" Tall Outdoor Wall Sconce for you. They're a better scale than what you have and attach at a lower point so the lamp is situated a bit higher (the ones you have now attach pretty low and you don't want them to hang lower). I mocked up four colors for you - red, blue, celadon and teal for fun (notice, no yellow - it just didn't feel right to me). I hope it helps to picture the possibilities. Best of luck to you! Be sure to post your "after" pic! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-13.*
