**★★★★★ — Jeremy Allen, Sept. 2015**

> Working together with Leah (almost 8 years ago) was a pleasure, and the colors, surfaces, and choices she helped us choose then are as relevant and beautiful now as when we first completed the remodel.  Efficient, cost effective, and a joy to work with!

**★★★★★ — Susan Peters, Sept. 2015**

> I have a pretty good eye for color and I've always been comfortable picking palettes for myself and my real estate clients...until I met Leah. I had her pick the colors for my own home over five years ago. Her choices pulled everything in my house together and I love it as much today as did the day it was finished.
>
> Since then I have hired her to consult with my sellers and she never ceases to amaze me. Leah recently transformed a drab and dated bathroom with a color I never would have come up with. She has solved more design problems for me than you can shake a paint stick at!

**★★★★★ — timmyoconnor, Aug. 2015**

> I have used Colourgirl Design several times to help me pick interior and exterior house colors and materials.  Leah's choices are excellent and very rich and clean. I love working with Leah for choices on other house design ideas as well.  She has an extensive knowledge of materials available for flooring, counters, and tile.  Especially sustainable products.  She is one of my best design resources.

## Selected projects

- [Fremont Townhouse Entry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fremont-townhouse-entry-pj-vj~1322808)
  - Location: Seattle, WA
  - Photos: 1
  - Description: Staged and ready for potential buyers! Fremont is a funky, colorful, and eclectic neighborhood. The original pumpkin paint color (hallway) matched the stained concrete; lovely, but too dark in this North-facing townhome. First impressions are key when listing a property. Fresh new color and color placement exclusively dedicated to the entrance, amped-up interest and offers. And hey look, I kept some pumpkin spice for the latte lovers.
