Lisa took our old 1900 home and mixed in my eclectic taste and the classic style of the home to put together something I never would have thought of on my own. She really maximized the space and no detail was too small. > > We are continuing to work with Lisa + Leroy on our master bedroom and to zhuzz up other areas of our house. **Comment from Lisa Shaffer:** > Hi Marta, > Thank you for the wonderful review! We can't wait to get started on your owner's bedroom. We'll take any excuse to hangout with Gracie! **★★★★★ — Barrett Karr, Sept. 2020** > We used Lisa and Leroy to completely renovate, and decorate, the first floor of our Washington, DC (capitol hill) home. They were a joy to work with and we are really happy with the results. They are meticulous about the details - and the communication throughout the project was really great. We highly recommend Lisa and Leroy. **Comment from Lisa Shaffer:** > Thanks for the kind review Barrett! We love to hear that you're enjoying your new space :) **★★★★★ — thuphamca23, Sept. 2020** > We had a great experience with Lisa and her team!!! They designed our kitchen remodel, living room and dining room and made all 3 flow seamlessly. They suggested furnishings that I couldn’t imagine would fit together - but the results were fabulous. They gave our home a fresh, modern and stylish look yet totally functional for a family of 5. We highly, highly recommend Lisa & Leroy and our only advice would be trust the process. They are so talented! **Comment from Lisa Shaffer:** > Thank you so much Thu! We loved working with you and your family on your entire home. **★★★★★ — Andrew A., Sept. 2020** > Lisa and her team did an incredible job designing and executing my project. It was a total top-to-bottom renovation on an old rowhome in DC so everything had to be designed and built from scratch. Without her expert guidance, I would not have thought to include an incredible feature window, a second half-bath, and countless other details and finishes. Best of all was that I could be as "hands on" or "hands off" as I wanted. They are more than capable of moving things forward on their own, but always seek my input so they know I'm happy with the product! I cannot wait to work with Lisa & Leroy on my next project. **★★★★★ — Diana Havlin, Sept. 2020** > We used Lisa & Leroy's design team during a 50% gut renovation of our home. They reconfigured and redesigned our kitchen and laundry room as well as added a second-floor sunroom (new addition). Not being design-oriented, we basically told them we did NOT want as well as one or two things we did want and they listened so well that their initial design was about 90% perfect with just a few small tweaks to finalize. For example, I told them that I did not want the refrigerator to be the first thing seen upon entering the home (open floor plan). They designed the kitchen so the fridge blends seamlessly into the cabinets and doesn't face the entryway. I also told them that we like earth tones and jewel tones and they picked the most beautiful earth green cabinetry. We loved the design team and their responsiveness and ability to just run with the project since we were really relying on their expertise for the design elements! Plus they all love dogs. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Jan Day, Aug. 2020** > Lisa and her team were so easy to work with. I am completely delighted with the end result. The English basement in my 110+ year old row house is now a light-filled, welcoming one bedroom, one bathroom apartment. Its 600 square feet of space now feels so much bigger thanks to its custom kitchen and a bright new bathroom. Earlier renovations had left the basement with four different sets of trim, molding and disjointed seams where different eras of construction met. The Lisa & Leroy team unified the space with a consistent set of trim, molding, door and hinge hardware, light switch panels, flooring, tiles and cabinet finish. The icing on the cake are the sleek roller blinds that make the space complete. Our basement flat was rented in less than a week after project completion and our tenant is absolutely delighted with her new home. I am looking forward to working with Lisa and her team for future projects. - Jan **★★★★★ — Kristy & Mike Robinson, Aug. 2020** > We have worked with Lisa since purchasing our home approximately 2 1/2 years ago - we LOVE her and her team!! Lisa has worked on almost every room in our house - from major design and construction projects to choosing the perfect accessory. She listens to your dream/vision and then works her magic to make it happen (whilst also helping those of us that may need a push to try something new from time to time!). In the event something doesn't go right (which rarely happens), she will ensure it is resolved efficiently and effectively. Lisa's work is truly stunning! > > We have referred her to several friends and co-workers and would encourage anyone to work with the Lisa & Leroy team. **Comment from Lisa Shaffer:** > Thanks Kristy & Mike! Working with you is always a blast! Next up, we'll tackle those kitchen countertops :) **★★★★★ — Lesley Steinhauser, Feb. 2017** > We fully renovated our kitchen and first floor powder room in 2010. As a total decor-phobe, I had no idea where to start and I was totally overwhelmed by choices. Lisa made the process extraordinarily easy and fun. She brought me out of my comfort zone with color and pattern and I couldn't be more grateful. The end result was so beautiful, functional, warm and cohesive. Seven years later, we are still getting compliments. I love, love, love her design aesthetic, professionalism and her willingness to go above and beyond for her clients. She loves what she does and it shows. **★★★★★ — Millie Dinkel, Jan. 2017** > Lisa and her team have been my clients for 4 years. Their approach to the projects they design, build, remodel and stage, are detail oriented, creative and proactive. As their Realtor, I've had the pleasure of selling a few of the homes that they've transformed. I can attest first hand to their high quality of workmanship, attention to detail and excellent communication. This is a company not to be overlooked if you are serious about the investments you put in your home. **★★★★★ — Alexandra Kearney, Jan. 2017** > Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with - she was consistently available to my (many) emails/texts and accommodating to some last minute changes. Her taste and professionalism far exceeded my expectations and we were able to achieve the living room and kitchen of our dreams with her input! She was obliging to all of our conflicting needs -- beautiful space that's toddler friendly -- but she delivered. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends! **★★★★★ — Heather, Jan. 2017** > Lisa did a fantastic job of designing our main floor in our new home! She has incredible taste, talent and vision, bringing beauty and function that is absolutely perfect for our family. My husband and my design requests, which are often diametrically opposed, were both heard and incorporated to create a space we both love. She worked very hard to get us everything we desired within budget, and we could not be happier. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and did a great job managing our project from a distance. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any design project...big, small, near or far! **★★★★★ — Jessica Wells, Jan. 2017** > Lisa helped us with our 2016 house renovation including a major bath overhaul, full kitchen remodel, new floors, lighting, laundry, mud room, etc. She jumped in about midway through the project and worked within our budget and style preferences. She sourced several items that we couldn't find on our own and advised on alternative options when what we liked didn't exactly fit our budget. She's highly knowledgeable, a good listener, and has a great eye. We're very pleased with the outcome of her design work! ## Selected projects - [Murphy's Manor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/murphy-s-manor-pj-vj~6491198) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: This home reno included two baths, a brand new wine bar, and a custom music room to enjoy this homeowner's extensive record collection. Along with an updated fireplace, custom built-ins were a must to store this collection along with the homeowners' treasures. On the way out, don't forget to stop at the wine bar conveniently tucked in under the stairs. A built-in wine fridge leaves many options to choose from. Both baths in this house get a refresh with modern fixtures, bright tile, and added fu… - [Anna & Bella](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/anna-and-bella-pj-vj~6355629) - Location: Philadelphia, PA - Photos: 12 - Description: This home was begging for an open concept with it's previously dated kitchen, closed off to the rest of the home. We removed a few walls, modified the ceiling heights, and added built-ins to a create a functional space for this family of five (including two furry pups). During the reno, we made sure to design into the homeowner's contemporary and collected taste. - [Gelato Blues](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gelato-blues-pj-vj~6355948) - Location: Philadelphia, PA - Photos: 9 - Description: As first-time homeowners, these clients needed an extra special space that was puppy friendly and their favorite color of course. With a subtle monochromatic scheme, we painted the entire main level and filled the house with furniture to turn it a home. - [Fresh Start](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fresh-start-pj-vj~6346297) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 13 - Description: This fixer-upper was purchased to be transformed into a rental property. First up, we gutted the entire house, floors and ceiling included! Then, we formulated a space-conscious floorplan to accommodate a kitchen, powder room, two bedrooms, and a full bath for future renters. Adding some of our signature eclectic and fun style, we worked to make this home move-in ready! - [Queen Gracie](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/queen-gracie-pj-vj~6346429) - Location: Philadelphia, PA - Photos: 9 - Description: Gracie's parents asked for a fun, eclectic design, while maintaining and incorporating the history of this century-old home, so we delivered! - [For the Love of Pham](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/for-the-love-of-pham-pj-vj~6347613) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 14 - Description: What started as a kitchen renovation turned into an entire main-level update. We enlarged the kitchen by expanding into the old dining room in order to add a workspace, large island, and a seating area for the entire family. We reconfigured the rest of the main level with a designated dining room and living room with fresh coats of paint and updated furnishings. - [Minty Fresh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minty-fresh-pj-vj~6358016) - Location: Naples, FL - Photos: 12 - Description: Imagine textured popcorn ceiling, plant shelves, arches, carpet, beige, beige, more beige -- this home before we got our hands on it! The clients asked for an open space that will welcome all of their kids and grandchildren. After removing walls, smoothing out the ceilings, updating the floor and painting, we had a clean slate to create a functional, bright and inviting space for them. - [Wilhelmina](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wilhelmina-pj-vj~6351358) - Location: Philadelphia, PA - Photos: 7 - Description: All this space needed was a slight refresh: new paint color and updated furnishings brought this room a new life. We incorporated the client's pieces from their travel when we styled the shelves to help tell their story. And who wouldn't want a yummy pink velvet sofa to lounge on?? - [Birds & Butterflies](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/birds-and-butterflies-pj-vj~6355786) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: This client's favorite things? Birds and butterflies. She asked for happy so we made it happen. Starting with the kitchen, we transformed dark wood and black to bright white and colorful. We continued the happy by adding colorful pieces throughout. - [Otto's Diner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/otto-s-diner-pj-vj~5509044) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 10 - Description: This bright and open kitchen was such a fun project! Our clients purchased a fixer upper and wanted it to be more reflective of their collected style. So, we removed a wall between the kitchen and dining room and relocated all the windows and doors on the back of the house to create a better flow. We also brought in some interest and funk with the design selections :) - [Oh, Watson!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oh-watson-pj-vj~6357911) - Location: Philadelphia, PA - Photos: 8 - Description: This space had a major facelift. Relocating the laundry room, utility closet and entire kitchen opened up the main level and most importantly, became functional for the homeowners who LOVE to cook. - [Full House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-house-pj-vj~6358238) - Location: Philadelphia, PA - Photos: 9 - Description: Black and white is a classic combo that will never go out of style. The laundry room and bath in this home were designed with functionality and durability in mind for a family of six. - [Bob's Place - Girl's Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bob-s-place-girl-s-bedroom-pj-vj~5509085) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 6 - Description: This project was all about making space on the 2nd floor living area for kids. We turned an open family room into a girl's bedroom and closet. Reconfiguring space in homes to fit families' needs is an important part of an interior designer's job! - [Moose's Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/moose-s-penthouse-pj-vj~6358311) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 9 - Description: Our client moved into a brand new high rise condo overlooking the Capitol ready to bring life and color into her new home. We coordinated her love of mixed styles and patterns with saturated pieces in the living room and master bedroom. With an addition to the kitchen island and a bar in the perfect nook, her new space is ideal for entertaining. Moose made himself at home in no time. - [Leroy's House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/leroy-s-house-pj-vj~1714942) - Location: Fort Myers, FL - Photos: 40 - Description: This beautiful old Italian had great bones but was neglected over the years both inside and out. The home was rich with original details like blue marble flooring, hand-detailed plasterwork and wooden casement windows. Even with the obvious charm, the 1960's kitchen, shag carpet, leaking roof and humidity from lack of central air had wreaked havoc. The landscaping was overgrown and was in such disarray, that little could be salvaged. The goal of the renovation was to touch the entire home while… - [Bob's Place - Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bob-s-place-bathroom-pj-vj~5521092) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 7 - Description: In this beautiful 1920's Washington DC home, we converted a small nursery room into a much needed hall bathroom for kids. We kept it clean and modern with the white beveled subway tile used around the entire room (thanks to 3 small children's wear and tear!). And added in some curated art, an antique mirror, and a modern vanity. - [Ozzy's Place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ozzy-s-place-pj-vj~4520299) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 14 - Description: This beautiful DC rowhome built in the 40's had so much character but needed some serious floorplan strategy. It also needed a fresh lease on life to enter 2018. The homeowners requested a more open floor plan to overcome the dark and teeny kitchen, additional closet spaces, and all new bathrooms. Not only do we love homeowners who are ok with outside-the-box design but we love these homes that have so much beauty already built-in. The exposed brick and original staircase...so much to swoon over… - [Gray House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gray-house-pj-vj~4167871) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 25 - Description: Our clients purchased a brand new rowhome in the Capital Hill area with no furniture and basically, a big white box of a home. They wanted their home to not feel like every other townhouse in the new development. TV placement is also important to them for relaxing and entertaining so we designed a way to add interest and not make the TV's focal points in both the living area and kitchen nook. - [Chasing Coral](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chasing-coral-pj-vj~3131399) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 20 - Description: We took ONE bathroom in this DC rowhome and turned it into 2 bathrooms and a nursery! Not kidding. It was a lot to pack in to a small space, but the homeowners knew they needed all the rooms for their growing family. The biggest challenge was how do you make it feel purposeful and like it was always meant to be there? With strategic space-planning and fun design, these 2 bathrooms came out all that we hoped for and more. - [Cat Society - Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cat-society-bathroom-pj-vj~5521334) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 4 - Description: A beautiful bathroom renovation for both historic style and modern whimsy.
