### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Jean Snyder, Dec. 2021**

> Happy birthday to me! I contacted Dawn Cook Design on my last birthday to finally have professional help with our first floor renovation. Our 1995 new build was in desperate need for an update and  we could not be more pleased with the fantastic designs, level of service; and the ability to be fluid with curve balls. Dawn and Dominic assessed our vision and put together a design that will be timeless and beautiful for years to come.

**Comment from Dawn Cook Design:**

> Jean - we love you! Thank you so much! Happy Birthday to you - again! Can't wait to finish this beautiful project for you! Dawn

**★★★★★ — Amanda Gurney, Dec. 2020**

> We have been working with Dawn and her team over the last few months and it has truly been a dream come true. I was immediately drawn to her style and vision and knew it would be the perfect fit. She understands me and my style and has introduced me to a whole new world. I wouldn’t do anything in my house without her direction and input! She has styled numerous rooms in our home so far and we couldn’t be happier. We can’t wait for all the projects still to come. She has made our home more beautiful than we ever could’ve imagined. We are truly so thankful for Dawn and her team!

**Comment from Dawn Cook Design:**

> Amanda - love these kind words and we LOVE working with you too! Can't want for the good to come as we continue to style your house and make it YOUR home!

**★★★★★ — L D, Dec. 2020**

> In 2020 Dawn created a very innovative design for our kitchen and dining area. My husband and I simply love it! Due to COVID our project is delayed until June 2021 and we are looking forward to working with Dawn!!

**★★★★★ — Ka Ka Gay, Dec. 2020**

> Dawn Cook and her team provided an excellent design and helped us transform our master bathroom. Dawn has a good eye and color sense and ably guided our decisions.

**Comment from Dawn Cook Design:**

> Thanks Karen - it's a lovely bathroom! A classic is a classic home!

**★★★★★ — Kate Hubben, Dec. 2020**

> I highly recommend Dawn Cook and her team.  I was struggling to articulate my aesthetic and style and Dawn listened to me and responded with ideas that completely hit the mark.  She also provided ideas at different price points and did not pressure me to choose the most expensive.  Dawn's raw talent as a designer with color, space, texture and planning is also outstanding.  I think it is a difficult challenge to balance creativity, customer service and project management, but Dawn Cook masters this.

**Comment from Dawn Cook Design:**

> Thank you Kate! It was so great doing a second project with you - and so perfect a residential yoga studio! We love working with you!

**★★★★★ — HU-285096028, Dec. 2020**

> The space is absolutely beautiful and came together even better than I imagined it would be.  Very nice, high-end finishes and a wonderful concept that allows me to display my collections.  I am privileged to  live in an environment that is timeless and peacefully elegant.

**★★★★★ — B&C, Dec. 2020**

> Restoring a century home ourselves for past six years. When it came time for kitchen we needed professional help and that is exactly what we got. Dawn and team listen. They wanted to come and see our house. Listen to the story. Hear our aspirations. First, amazing ideas and inspiration came in. Next was plumbing and appliance greatness made possible by knowing the very best people. Structural engineering, carpentry, cabinet making were the same. Cutting edge technology solutions we hadn’t dreamt of were bonus to make our lives insanely easy. Tremendous talent and just good kind people.

**Comment from Dawn Cook Design:**

> Awe! Can't wait to see the dream become a reality! Love how much you guys appreciate our hardworking!

**★★★★★ — Sophie Oertzen, Dec. 2020**

> I loved working with Dawn. Our project wasn’t easy as we moved to the US from abroad and started the remodel while we were still in Asia. Throw in Covid related travel restrictions and lockdowns and we were in for a complicated renovation! Thankfully Dawn was up to the task and together with our Project Manager (who she had recommended) worked tirelessly throughout lockdown and via Zoom calls to get ahead with the house. The project isn’t small and she took it on with gusto and was great to communicate with.
> Once we finally got to the US, Dawn and I had great creative brainstorming sessions. I was very happy that we worked so well together as I have my own distinct taste when it comes to colours and decorating but Dawn (and her amazing assistant Sadie) helped me elevate those to new heights! While we are done with the major part of the first floor, we still have some bits and bobs to do around the house and I’m glad I can call Dawn for her trusted advice. I’m so happy I found her through Houzz and honoured to call her a friend and creative partner.

**Comment from Dawn Cook Design:**

> I love this Sophie! Thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure to assist you and Oleg and I also learned a lot from you! It was really fun to get exposed to a more International wealth of design resources and inspirations! Best of luck as you launch your own design career and always for SWF as well! XO

**★★★★★ — Carter \| Lewis ID and To-the-Trade, Dec. 2020**

> Dawn Cook and her team are the cream of the crop.  They are prompt and professional, super talented designers with a passion for what they do.

**★★★★★ — bonniemarcus, Dec. 2020**

> Dawn, and the staff at Dawn Cook Design, are a pleasure to work with from start to finish.  Professional, efficient and up-to-date on the latest trends.  More importantly they cater to a client's needs and tastes and work to create the perfect balance of design and lifestyle.

**★★★★★ — fleetocleve, Sept. 2020**

> I have worked with Dawn on three projects in my Shaker home and continue to be grateful for her assistance, design and experience.  She worked well with my various project-based budgets.
> I finished my last project about a year ago but just today was thinking, "I love my custom couch and how comfortable it is! I’m so glad I followed Dawn's lead on this choice. My whole family loves the Living room and it makes me so happy to see varied (and coordinating!) patterns, textures,etc. And, truly, it gives me so much joy to walk through my Dining room and see how the little details Dawn guided me on are so pleasing to the eye."
> Dawn has also introduced me to some wonderful, local vendors I would never have met and who I have come to trust.  She does a great job and has a great staff too.  They are all a pleasure to work with and a reflection of Dawn's vision and professionalism.  I would recommend Dawn and look forward to our next project!

**Comment from Dawn Cook Design:**

> Erin! I am truly flattered and it’s an honor to help such a wonderful client! Thank you so much!!

**★★★★★ — Andreana Horton, Dec. 2019**

> Dawn designed the remodel of our master bedroom, bathroom and office.  The quality of her selections was outstanding, both in terms of design and craftsmanship.  My husband and I are traditional/transitional and she helped us think outside the box on our choices.  Look forward to working with her on future projects.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Hi is this in the Lakes of Orange?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Was this for a private residence or a model home?  Love the design work!  Thanks in advance.

A: Hello! Thanks for your feedback! Yes this is Lakes of Orange in Moreland Hills, Ohio. This was a private residence and a custom home new build.

**Q: Where are the table and chairs from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello! The table and chairs are special ordered through Dawn Cook Design. Please inquire if interested. Thanks, Dawn

**Q: spencerlav@gmail.com** *(in Photo Questions)*

what is the material for your backsplash?

A: Calcutta Marble

**Q: Window Covering** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi, probably a dumb question, but I'm sort of learning as I go. The window covering...is that what you call a Roman Shade? Or is it called something different? (The one above the window seat)

A: Yes it’s a soft fold Roman shade.

**Q: Karenbs** *(in Photo Questions)*

Who makes these lights above the island?

A: These lights are made by Currey and Company and are sold exclusively through the trade.

**Q: What are the beautiful counters used in this kitchen island?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Love Calcutta Gold, we put marbles in many kitchens and baths! All natural stone is susceptible, but that is just a disclaimer. Proper care and maintenance keeps it looking beautiful! I would go for it. Every kitchen in Italy has marble, and I being Italian am not a clean cook, you should have what you love!
