## About

### Houzz Badges

- 5 Ideabook Saves

Hi, I’m DeeDee Dawson and I have been designing new homes and remodels for over 25 years. I opened Great Xpectations in 2012 when we moved from Austin, Texas to Silicon Valley. Our lovely neighborhood is filled with ranch-style homes from the 1950’s in need of updating. Remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, and entire homes became important projects for my friends and neighbors in the area.
