Cheri Leggett, a resident of Laguna Niguel, has been in the interior design industry for 30 years, forming her business Courton Design in 1986.  She is an eclectic designer who strives to include diversity in her projects as well as a sense of history. Her primary objective is for her finished design spaces to reflect the clients and their passions and interests.  Her design guidance serves as an umbrella, unifying the space so that all items are in harmony.   
 
Cheri has worked on homes primarily in Orange County, California, but also has designed for clients in Lake Arrowhead, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Napa Valley, Canyon Country, Century City, Santa Monica and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Her design concepts embrace a vast array of styles, always keeping the client’s visual perspective in mind. It is paramount that when the job is complete, it reflects the client’s tastes and vision under the guise of the designer’s expertise.
 
Cheri excels in the selection and placement of accessories in a home or an office. Without these treasures, these spaces are never complete in her eyes. Some clients prefer an array of decorative items that they have collected in their life experiences and travels, while others choose a more minimalist approach, with just a few stunning pieces to complete their design vision.

Cheri guided us through an intense overhaul of the interior of our home which included all new flooring, painting of the entire interior, and floor plan layout for all new furniture. She kept us from making design mistakes which we would have had to live with for a very long time. Very thankful she was part of our renovation project.

**★★★★★ — kaitlynfitnesselite, March 2016**

> Cheri was such a joy to work with! We were doing an extensive remodel on a run down all women's health club, and truly did not even know where to begin. Cheri relieved my headache, stresses and worries after just one meeting. She immediately had a vision, knew exactly what to do and worked with our few little requests. Extremely professional, efficient and just so much fun to work with. Our finished product exceeded all expectations and blew people away at the Grand Opening.  I give Cheri the absolute HIGHEST recommendation.

**★★★★★ — vjoebchen, March 2016**

**★★★★★ — mrszizzo, March 2016**

> We have been using the services of Cheri Leggett at Courton Design since 2003 when we purchased our first home. She assisted us in creating a color scheme for painting, furniture, lighting, window coverings, flooring, art and so much more. We also used her design services again in 2005 upon purchasing a second home. Just last year (2015), we decided to replace our flooring, repaint the interior of our home, replace our drapes, add rugs and update our décor. Courton Design was extremely instrumental in selecting the materials, colors, fabrics and providing firms to perform the necessary installation and services. We highly recommend Courton Design and will definitely be using her services in the future.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Wall color please?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Beautiful use of colors. Could you tell me the wall color please?

A: Yes, Dunn Edwards Inside Passage.  It is one of my favorite colors in their palette and works with almost all interiors that call for a neutral tone.

**Q: Any info on the two tables?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thank you. Really like them.

A: The iron/glass tables were custom made by a local iron designer/fabricator; they are about 15x15x18H with a glass overlay top.
