### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Ginger Pack, July 2023**

> I contacted Lee Waters Design after a thorough Google search of interior designers near my location. My husband and I recently retired and moved into a home which we purchased with my son and his family a few years ago. The home is nestled in 13 acres in a small rural community and has a finished basement in-law suite. However, the suite is being updated which is why I began a search for a designer.  I contacted 2 experienced designers who had wonderful websites showing portfolios and had several positive Google reviews. It was a risk that one of these designers would contact me and be willing to travel a bit to come to our home. Lee Waters called with excitement in her voice to meet with me and help with the interior spaces. The other designer did email me, however, was unwilling to come to my home. Lee emailed me the appointment link and had good availability for meeting quickly. She came with an intern to assist with photos and measurements of the spaces. I had prepaid for the 2-hour session and never felt rushed. Lee met with me and my husband and welcomed our input on ideas. After the session, I promptly received her feedback with a detailed summary of our session and outlined next steps to complete the project. I told Lee that I have already been bragging on her because her professionalism and positivity in working with me. I am confident in her expertise to make our new retirement space beautiful and functional.

**Comment from Currant House:**

> Miss Ginger, you are divine! Thank you for your kindness and trust. We appreciate your fantastic review of LWD. Thank you so much for working with us! We look forward to seeing all of the design brought to life. Take care!

**★★★★★ — HU-730254495, Nov. 2022**

> Really enjoyed working with Lee at Contented Interiors, her recommendations were spot on. Thanks to her creative vision our living room was transformed into a beautiful space. Highly recommend her services for your interior design needs.

**★★★★★ — jnemeth3, Nov. 2022**

> We moved into our new build three months ago and the furniture does not fit in the space right.   There is also some awkward spaces that I was just not sure what to do with.  I hired Contended Interiors consultation package to see if they would be able to help and to see if we would be a good fit for further design work.  Lee was very professional and creative.  I see myself and Contended Interiors having a continuing relationship.

**★★★★★ — HU-933394860, Jan. 2022**

> I partnered with Lee on interior the design of my husband and I's first home! We both didn't have any furniture for our downstairs. I wanted to make sure everything coordinated, fit well in our space and was cute and all of that really stressed me out. I found Lee through instagram, I really liked her photos but also enjoyed her stories and could tell that she would be a great person to work with. Everything from start to finished was professional, well thought out, and presented in bite size pieces so I never felt overwhelmed! In the consultation, we went through my vision and she executed it perfectly! I absolutely LOVE our space. It is homey AND stylish which is exactly what I was going for! Nivettte was also great! She kept me updated WEEKLY which is a tall task when ordering pieces during a pandemic! Anyway, if you're looking for a designer or are interested in any of her classes I can guarantee you won't be disappointed! I absolutely love them!! They also seem to get how much I love me dog, which was the added bonus, I didn't know I needed :)

**★★★★★ — Donna Aiello, Nov. 2021**

> I did an initial consultation because I was thinking of a kitchen remodel that I knew would affect the adjoining family room.  Lee gave me options other than a complete redo. In addition she recommended a few easy changes with family room accessories that I followed and it made a big difference.  I have finally decided not to completely gut the kitchen and will be asking Lee to work with me on the update.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Garvin-Sanchez, Sept. 2021**

> I hired Lee for the initial consultation for a kitchen remodel.  She as full of good ideas, and helped me decide on the layout for my kitchen, as well as other tips.  It was very helpful and a great first step.

**★★★★★ — cinldavis, March 2021**

> Lee from Contented Interiors rescued me from the overwhelming stress I was feeling trying to make decisions on interior design issues.  Primarily color.  The investment in this consultation likely saved me from spending thousands of dollars on carpeting and paint that was not going to work in my home.  I now have a clear plan on how to proceed and will be able to do so with confidence in my choices and no more panic attacks!

**★★★★★ — Kristin Bonacci, Oct. 2020**

> Lee is empowering!  We hired Contented Interiors for a consultation to help us with a few projects around the house. We needed advice on our laundry room, an office for my husband and a school room since Covid has changed the landscape of our home life considerably. She listened to our ideas and gave honest feedback and encouragement. She helped us to figure out how to start and not be afraid of our own ideas! We have followed her advice and love the outcome!!!

**Comment from Currant House:**

> I love seeing your progress. Thank you for your kind review and for your business!

**★★★★★ — Maggie B., Sept. 2020**

> Lee has completely changed the way I feel about my home, in the BEST way! I was struggling with a big open floor plan, and indecision of purpose for a variety of other rooms. Lee grounded me in simple, easy to tackle tasks that brought my home together for me. She had me rearrange furniture, switch a few pieces from room to room, paint, add some pretty things and voila! My house is now my home. I'm so happy.

**Comment from Currant House:**

> Thank you for choosing Contented Interiors for two different consultations, Maggie! You are a dream client.

**★★★★★ — Laura Neuffer, July 2020**

> Working with Contented Interiors was a wonderful experience! Lee is excellent, and I can't wait to implement her recommendations in my home.

**Comment from Currant House:**

> Thank you so much for your trust and support! It is lovely working with you!

**★★★★★ — Julie B., Dec. 2019**

> Lee is a talented designer.  She is professional and prompt.  She transformed the rooms of our home into peaceful, comfortable, coordinated havens - with great accents and color choices.  Lee always stayed within the budget and time-frame boundaries we wanted.  She hired great contractors.  Lee is a consistent, talented, organized professional and is a joy to work with!

**★★★★★ — Philip Nelson, Oct. 2019**

> Very happy with how my new Contented Interior turned out!  Lee was a pleasure to work with, always keeping me informed and updated on every detail along the journey.  During the initial consultation she was able to get a feel for what style I was going for then she took it from there.  I loved every single choice she made!  Even with my busy work schedule I rested easy knowing the project was in good hands and she definitely delivered!  Thanks again Lee for my beautiful new living space!

**Comment from Currant House:**

> Thank you for your business, Phil! It was a pleasure to work with you and a privilege to be entrusted with your home.

## Community Q&A

**Q: how did you secure the mirrors to wall over wainscoting** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love how you decorated the walls and the wall colors

A: Thank you for your kind words, Lynn! We have all of our art professionally hung. The installer used some sort of extra long screws in special drywall anchors to get it past the wainscoting, securely. We thought it was worth the extra effort :D

**Q: Love that bed! Where is it from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

We're looking for a similar mixed materials (wood and upholstery) bed.

A: Thank you for taking the time to say something nice about our work! As part of our Comprehensive service, we are committed to protecting the details of our clients’ designs. We wish you luck in finding your perfect piece.

**Q: love the stools, where are they from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

gold stool, white cushions, curved back legs

A: Thank you! The stools are from Ballard Designs!

**Q: Where did you get the area rug?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I can't tell because it is hard to zoom in.  Where was the area rug purchased or is there a closer picture to see the pattern?

A: It was the client’s existing rug.

**Q: could you share the wallpaper info please.** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the colors

A: Debbie, the paper is from Fabricut. I’m not sure they still make the pattern, but you should definitely check their website. Thank you for your question!

**Q: what is the diameter of the rod part** *(in Product Questions)*

A: Do you mount them in the orientation shown in the above drawing? Thank you!
