Even before Leanne came to our home she was interested in what I wanted for my projects. When she came out to our home she brought actual samples that were appropriate to what our vision was, as well as samples that expanded on our thoughts. She was very good at listening, but also extremely helpful in giving us her thoughts and suggestions, explaining pros and cons with every option. We left Leanne and her crew at our home while we were on vacation (with the added responsibility of arming our security system each night when she left : ) When we returned we were extremely pleased at how beautiful all of the projects had turned out. She had refinished a bathroom cabinet, a mantle, then removed wallpaper and faux finished our kitchen and hearth room walls. Leanne is truly an artist! **★★★★★ — schleuger, Dec. 2014** > Rekindled Spaces is a fantastic company that I cannot say enough great things about! Leanne and her team helped transform our kitchen island from a dark walnut stain and painted it the color of our cabinets which is Eider white and then distressed the island. Love, love, love my island now! Rekindled Spaces is a honest, hard working company that puts 110% into what they do and it shows by the quality of their work. **★★★★★ — drenfro, Nov. 2014** > Leanne and her team brought our home to life. They refinished our kitchen cabinets and island, family room fireplace and bookcases and butler's pantry using a "rubbed back" antique technique. They also luster stoned our formal dining room walls and glazed our guest bathroom walls. We were impressed with the quality of workman ship, timeliness of completion and how clean they kept the work area. Leanne was very helpful when picking out colors and deciding on techniques. I strongly recommend Leanne and her team. They are talented and a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Cheryl, Nov. 2014** > We hired Leanne and her crew to redo our kitchen and kitchen breakfast nook cabinets, kitchen island, laundry room cabinets off the kitchen, and half bath. We love our new kitchen and bathroom and felt that the cabinets really added a great value to the whole remodeling project. It just wasn't complete until we did this last step, even though we had replaced the backsplash, tile in the bathroom, countertops, paint, and light fixtures. Even my husband loves them because everything looks so much more contemporary, even though he was leery at first of painting the cabinets. Leanne's crew did a thorough job on our project and worked hard to make sure we were happy. I'm very picky, so this meant a lot to me! This is also a much less expensive option than buying all new cabinets. **★★★★★ — magnoliahome, Oct. 2014** > I hired Rekindled Spaces to paint my perimeter kitchen cabinets and island. As well as faux stain my mantle, hutch and TV cabinet in my kitchen/hearth area .... and faux stain wood portion of my carpeted stairs (that lead up to the 2nd floor). Leanne's team was very professional, conscientious and fast. Please note, that their quickness in completing the job they did NOT forget about their attention to detail. They were very thorough and the end result is absolutely beautiful. They have breathed new life into my kitchen. Its become my favorite room in my home. Leanne's team-lead, Kristy, is a Master of Faux. Very talented. **★★★★★ — kmavridis, Oct. 2014** > Rekindled Spaces was recommended to us by our contractor. We enjoyed working with Leanne and her team from the start of the project through completion. She listened to our ideas and then prepared different options for us to consider, always being respectful of our goals. We experienced multiple delays with the other parts of the construction and Leanne was helpful in adapting her schedule to help us meet our needed finish timelines. We had our entire first floor faux painted in multiple styles and colors. Leanne also helped us with enhancing our wood cabinets. **★★★★★ — Becky Weldon, Oct. 2014** > When I began building my home the one thing I wanted was faux Venetian Plaster walls. I could not give justice to the job Leanne and her crew did on my house. They were very respectful, professional, friendly and fast. The best part they treated my home as if it were their own, very cautious of the completed work to make sure nothing was disturbed. Leanne, made sure I got just what I wanted and even gave me some wonderful design ideas (that of course turned out beautiful). I was not only impressed with the job they did but so was my builder, and all the other contractors that worked on my house not to mention the biggest critic, my husband. Leanne and her crew will be the only phone call I will make when I do any custom painting in my house. Beautiful people inside and out... **★★★★★ — santacruz2002, Oct. 2014** > The Rekindled Spaces team did an awesome job transforming our entire kitchen cabinetry from boring light natural wood to a rich, warm, inviting space using faux painting and distressing. They are great to work with and will customize exactly the look and colors you are wanting, and won't leave until you are completely satisfied. I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Jeanne Steinmetz Parsons, Oct. 2014** > The Rekindled Spaces crew faux painted my kitchen and hearth room cabinets. Leanne was easy to work with and very helpful in guiding me in chosing the colors for the cabinets and the kitchen island. The price she quoted me was the price I paid, no hidden or additional costs. I was very impressed with her crew, and their team work and efficiency in completing this big job on time and well. It was obvious they enjoyed their work and working with each other. I would hire Rekindled Spaces again and I am happy to recommend them to others. **★★★★★ — Michelle Bratcher, Oct. 2014** > Rekindled Spaces far exceeded my expectations! I needed my front door repainted and light fixtures refurbished, because they looked old and faded. Leanne and her talented team made me fall in love with my light fixtures. I wanted to throw them away, but instead she made them gorgeous. And, with little direction, she added dimension to a plain door that looks welcoming and elegant. Thank you Rekindled Spaces for your professionalism and artistic talents! **★★★★★ — lyonsda, Oct. 2014** > We hired Rekindled Spaces to do a specialty re-paint of our kitchen cabinets, to paint the wood trim on 2 levels of our home, and to do a specialty paint on the walls of the main floor of our home. We were extremely impressed with the finished product! The cabinets were done in a finish that is very unique, and we receive compliments on how great they look constantly! We also get many compliments on the texturing and amazing paint technique that they did in our dining room! Their workers were very friendly, professional, on-time, and treated our home and us with respect! We have already hired them again to do the wood trim in our movie room, and we are looking forward to using them for our bedroom update! We highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Judy Roe Whisenant, July 2013** > I had seen the work done by Leanne Lee, owner of Rekindled Spaces, on many occasions. Several of my friends had retained her to do various projects in their homes. I was very impressed with her skill and meticulous attention to detail. Therefore, when I decided to buy a home that needed a lot of improvements, I immediately sought the services of Rekindled Spaces. I wanted to begin the focus of my more modern look in the kitchen/breakfast room. Leanne came to my house bringing a variety of paint palettes and beautifully textured sample boards. She asked me what style I envisioned for the space. I quickly said I wanted a "Touch of Tuscany." What followed was dream-like. She finished the walls in an ecru Tuscan plaster. She then accompanied me to various design shops, thrift stores and even flea markets to purchase accessories for my new space. She restored an old wooden frame that someone had discarded to hold my new painting of an old wine barrel overflowing with ripening grapes. From vintage wine bottles to the beautiful plaster scroll that now holds personal mementos, my new space looks as if it has been plucked from the hills of Tuscany. It is perfect! ## Selected projects - [Reed](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reed-pj-vj~743038) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - [Lee](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lee-pj-vj~740704) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Enyeart](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/enyeart-pj-vj~743018) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Odell](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/odell-pj-vj~743005) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Overbaugh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/overbaugh-pj-vj~742979) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Booser](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/booser-pj-vj~742680) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Parsons](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/parsons-pj-vj~742667) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Stawarz](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stawarz-pj-vj~742662) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Spinello](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spinello-pj-vj~742651) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Johnson](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/johnson-pj-vj~742642) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Webster](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/webster-pj-vj~742633) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Collins](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/collins-pj-vj~742570) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Casey 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/casey-2-pj-vj~742566) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Kennedy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kennedy-pj-vj~741807) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Renfro](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/renfro-pj-vj~741762) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Casey](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/casey-pj-vj~740775) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Houston](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/houston-pj-vj~740750) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - [Carver](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carver-pj-vj~740742) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 42 - [Weldon](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/weldon-pj-vj~740732) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Maison Creme](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maison-creme-pj-vj~740727) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 30 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/cabinets-and-cabinetry/rekindled-spaces-pfvwus-pf~1761628563) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/128336787/list/wish-list) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/rekindledspaces) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
