Liz is attentive, thoughtful, and creative, and Michelle does an incredible job keeping all of the trains (I can't even imagine how many...) running smoothly and keeping clients well updated throughout. We especially appreciate Liz's thoughtful attention to design and materials that suit our lifestyle and growing family. > > What Liz and team offer is also so much more than design (though they do a knockout job of that). They make the process easy for you. Want to review all of your curated options from a single portal? Check. Want to navigate paying primarily one entity and not twenty different retailers and contractors? Check. Want to graciously have the team manage the fact that your giant mirror was delivered to a storage facility in a million tiny pieces? Check. The list goes on. > > We can't wait to build memories in the space that Liz, Michelle, and Hannah helped us bring to life. **★★★★★ — Bo Hargrove, Jan. 2022** > The team at CAROLYN LEONA were extremely professional and creative throughout our process. They provided us with a wonderful design that helped accomplish everything we were trying to achieve in the renovation of our guest suite and laundry room. Both rooms had their own sets of challenges and they found solutions that we were never able to solve on our own. The spaces are both very functional for us and of course the look amazing! We were very happy with their process and their creative visual board, package, and software allowed us to see and feel the room to ensure we were making the right selections. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Cara Johnson, July 2021** > We cannot say enough about our experience with the CAROLYNLEONA team. Throughout the whole process they were professional, responsive, helpful and ultimately did a phenomenal job executing on our project. We moved out of our home for a week for the install, and walking into our totally transformed space was the most surreal experience. We were blown away and are just IN LOVE with everything! It was a smooth, amazing process and we are so thankful to the talented CL team for making our dream a reality! **★★★★★ — poppop123, Feb. 2021** > I had the best experience working with the team at Carolyn Leona. Liz and her team are so knowledgable, professional, attentive and wonderful to work with. The guidance they provided was so helpful and we have now selected everything we need for our new home (I think it would have taken me a year to get this done on my own). Liz is awesome...it's so clear that she loves what she does and she is so good at it. I highly recommend Carolyn Leona. Honestly, can't say enough good things about my experience working with them...just awesome all the way around! **★★★★★ — chaitea1221, Nov. 2020** > Let’s start off by saying, you want Liz and Heather on your team. They are detail oriented, exceptional listeners with impeccable taste, and they execute a client’s vision with ease. In addition, throughout the construction process, they were both a calming, centering forces in the chaos that is a home update. I never felt like they were prescriptively applying trendy designs—they truly listened to our aesthetic and then wove it into their selections. In all, they gave us beautiful, cohesive home that feels like an extension of us, and gives us room for who we will become as we grow in this house. > > Now that the remodel is done, my husband and I just sit in our living room and are pinching ourselves that we live here. Carolyn Leona gave us a wonderful start to our life in this new home and we will be forever grateful. We will be 1000% using them again in the future when we eventually do a kitchen remodel or for other selections in the house. I cannot overstate how important an interior designer is, especially when you are juggling with updating multiple rooms at once. If you’re paying for a remodel anyway, having Carolyn Leona on your team is an absolute necessity. **★★★★★ — caschneider, Oct. 2020** > It was such a pleasure to work with Liz. I love everything she designed for our coastal home. Her ability to update and incorporate my previously owned pieces was amazing. Liz was always professional and efficient, working well with our contractor. Liz's design has created a serene, welcoming space to call home. CAROLYNLEONA is the best! **★★★★★ — eajardin, April 2020** > Liz has been such a pleasure to work with! She takes your own style and helps put it together in your space. One thing that has helped me the most is that she explains the reasoning for things! “To balance” or “to compliment” certain things that I would never have been able to do without her help! She is so sweet and kind, and super fast to respond! We will definitely use Liz more in the future! Thanks so much :) **★★★★★ — Kristin Esham, March 2020** > Liz Goldberg, Principal Designer at Carolyn Leona Designs, has been with us since the beginning of our house journey in Raleigh, NC. Liz helped us realize our design aesthetic and bring our vision to reality. From the management of bathroom renovations to designing functional and fun living spaces for our kids, she executes each project in an organized and timely manner. Liz and her team are professional, responsive and execute functionality effortlessly. We look forward to working with them again in the very near future. **★★★★★ — Jon Anne Howard, Feb. 2020** > Liz is a rock star! She provided us with fantastic ideas and inspiration for our new home and helped to guide us into a totally new living experience for us. She is not only so talented but really fun to work with! **★★★★★ — Molly Glasgow, Feb. 2020** > Liz is THE BEST! We have worked with her for several years, on probably close to 10 projects by this point. She's helped elevate our home/design, all while helping us create a family-friendly space for our growing family. She's responsive and makes the process super easy. As a busy working mom, I can't imagine NOT having Liz as a partner. I highly recommend her for any design needs or new construction projects. **★★★★★ — Baker Glasgow, Jan. 2020** > Liz is fantastic, she has helped us with many projects through the last couple of years. She's prompt, resourceful, and has a great eye for design! **★★★★★ — Addie Merletti, April 2018** > Liz was SO helpful when I needed to choose paint colors for my entire house. She was patient, and asked all the right questions to help me give depth to a very open, but very small condo. She also assisted me with placing furniture I had already purchased to make the most of my space. Her mix of natural talent and professionalism are second to none! ## Selected projects - [// LYNDENBURY LUSH NEST](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lyndenbury-lush-nest-pj-vj~6022251) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 12 - [// CAMERON PARK CURATED](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cameron-park-curated-pj-vj~2174918) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 43 - [// BEDFORD BUNGALOW](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bedford-bungalow-pj-vj~5895858) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [// PRISTINE PARK PLACE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pristine-park-place-pj-vj~5895881) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 43 - [// ANDERSON LUXE ABODE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/anderson-luxe-abode-pj-vj~5895848) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [// CENTRAL VINTAGE CHARM](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-vintage-charm-pj-vj~5895837) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [// ENCLAVE ESTATE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/enclave-estate-pj-vj~5895819) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [// MODERN MEETS HEIRLOOM](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-meets-heirloom-pj-vj~5895904) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 31 - [// ARTFULLY BALANCED BELLA VISTA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artfully-balanced-bella-vista-pj-vj~5895869) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [// DOWNTOWN RETRO DIGS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-retro-digs-pj-vj~5895983) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [// SHAMROCK SOUTHERN SIMPLICITY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shamrock-southern-simplicity-pj-vj~5895953) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 51 - [// CHICAGO CLASSIC COURTURE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chicago-classic-courture-pj-vj~5895980) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [// O'BERRY BRIGHT HOME BASE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/o-berry-bright-home-base-pj-vj~5895921) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 38 - [// ST.
