### All 8 reviews

**★★★★★ — Hank Dagenais, Jan. 2020**

> Exceptional sense for styling and color coordination. Dawn has been involved in both our homes and has transformed them into something of taste and beauty.

**★★★★★ — Karen S, Jan. 2020**

> We love Dawn! We have hired her to work on many rooms in our house and it's always been a great experience. The most extensive was our main floor remodel which gave us a beautiful kitchen, new dining room and anteroom that we love everytime we enter ! Dawn's guidance was always spot on and she has a great eye for design while also respected our wishes. I could depend on her to come up with creative solutions for unique challenges which always come up with a remodel of any kind :) Something that was very refreshing is her attention to staying within your budget! We would recommend her for any project as she is a delight to work with!

**★★★★★ — Sara Furrer, July 2018**

> I have worked with Dawn on a few projects.  Her taste is impeccable!  Her creativity, design aesthetic and knowledge of products available in the area has helped me make beautiful choices in my home.

**★★★★★ — E W00, May 2018**

> We worked with Dawn to complete an extensive remodel of our entire 1st floor and master bathroom which involved gutting it and knocking down walls & putting up new ones. We are very happy with the result and have received many complements. Dawn worked out great for us because she lives quite close and was readily available to stop by when she was needed. I also really like that she was familiar w/the local vendors who all know her by name. Dawn thinks of all the design details that I would've have never thought of. She listened carefully to what we wanted and made excellent suggestions at the same time. For example, she suggested a beautiful quartzite for our kitchen island that I hadn't even heard of. I felt like she always steered us in the right direction. It's also a plus that she has a good understanding of construction since her husband is in construction. I feel like my budget and time was well spent on Dawn and I highly recommend her!

**★★★★★ — LINDA H, April 2018**

> I hired Dawn to provide design consultation for a large renovation i was doing at my home in San Mateo.    I could not have done the project without her!   Dawn presented beautiful and creative design ideas and options. She narrowed down material choices and personally took me to the vendor locations to help pick out other materials such as hardware, marble/stone, etc. (eliminating the stress of picking from a massive inventory of options/vendors).   Dawn worked closely with  my contractor, providing the drawings/measurements for permits, in addition to addressing construction details/issues throughout the course of the project.  Dawn was collaborative, responsive to feedback and changes, and fun to work with.   We were extremely happy with the final result!  Beautiful work, Dawn!

**★★★★★ — Cathy Barber, June 2015**

> My husband and I have repeatedly hired Dawn, which is the highest endorsement I can give.  Each time we had a new remodeling task in front of us, big or small, a kitchen, bath, office, patio or living room, we immediately called Dawn.  She is professional, personable, and fun to work with, too.  She knows the purveyors of tile, carpet, paints, furniture, cabinetry, etc.  She will know where to take you so you can view the options and she will guide you toward tasteful choices.
>
> Friends who have seen her work in our home often asked for her phone number and used her as well.  We have three friends who employed Dawn for remodels now, too.

**★★★★★ — c\_anderson64, May 2015**

> I have hired Dawn for several projects including remodeling my dining room, family room and living room in my Spanish style house in California. Dawn is an absolute pleasure to work with, very perceptive in understanding my style and always coming in at or under budget with all her purchases.  I have gotten so many compliments on the beauty and function of each of these rooms.  In addition, Dawn completely furnished a second home for my family in Switzerland.  There was a tight time deadline to have everything ready for shipping and Dawn worked a miracle in pulling it all together so that when we moved in everything from furniture to carpets to curtains and bedding was there and perfectly styled to fit our mid 19th century Swiss home.  It looks fabulous and though each house has a different flair, I feel completely "at home" and so comfortable entertaining in either one.  I rely on Dawn for all my interior design needs!

**★★★★ — lleisten0402, May 2015**

> I hired Dawn Leslie Interiors to refresh the look of my living and dining room space. Dawn had the task to not only create a space that looked fresh and new - but had to incorporate some  of the existing furniture and accessories.
>
> Dawn asked a lot of questions to really understand my style, needs and budget. Dawn is very easy to work with and was very flexible with scheduling our meetings so they worked best with my schedule.
>
> The project is pretty much complete and all that is left is the selection of artwork. The rooms look fresh and new and I have received many compliments. I plan to have Dawn come back to start working on my master bedroom very soon.
