We hired Leslie to transform our home. We have 3 small children and we desired a space that was cozy and urban chic but also child friendly and liveable. We were more than thrilled the results. She has fabulous taste and is very receptive to her clients desires. She has amazing relationships with vendors who will bend over backwards for her. She is very hands on with the installation and has a wonderful eye for detail. We are absolutely thrilled with our finished product and would hire her again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Space Interior Design.

We hired Leslie to help design and decorate our New Orleans home which we had just purchased. We were seeking a clean modern yet warm and classy design that would optimize storage and utilize vertical space. She has masterfully helped with an overall full house plan as we’ve implemented it in stages. She’s been expert in assisting with prioritizing projects, picking out furniture and fixtures, designing storage and window treatments, and sourcing out workman. Leslie is connected in the design community and has found the best of the best in the city carry out our work. She is honest and direct, kind and reliable, talented and down to earth. She skillfully took our oddly shaped open floor plan and made sense of the space to fit with our goals. We look forward to working with Leslie for each stage of our project.

Crazy grateful for the opportunity of working with you! Thank you. Love how things are coming together. See you soon.

We hired Leslie to help us renovate and update our New Orleans bar and restaurant and were extremely pleased with the overall experience and outcome of the project. Her organization and ability to get the job done in an efficient and timely manner was unparalleled. She accomplished everything from finding the right bar stools and new patio furniture to beautiful landscaping design with larger than life planters and beautiful banquet seating upholstery, which have made quite a delightful aesthetic improvement. The overall goal was to enhance our customer’s experience and Leslie understood this from our initial meeting and executed our vision to perfection.

Leslie & I have known each for almost 20 years & I’ve always truly been amazed by her work. I’ve seen many of her projects from start to completion & it’s been pretty spectacular to watch her work. Not only have I always admired & respected her personal style, she works with her clients & understands their needs & desires. I’ve assisted her on a few projects, which has been a complete joy. And she helped me with all of the finishing touches in my home, and I was so grateful. Everything I’ve seen her plan & organize looks fantastic by the end. And what I love most about Leslie, is that she’s not afraid to use things in the most unexpected places. Whether it’s moving an armoire from a bedroom into a kitchen, or using a side table from the living room in a bathroom. Leslie has a great eye & touch & I look forward to working with her on many projects in the future.

As a custom fabricator, having worked with many interior designers, architects and contractors over the years, Leslie’s confidence and comfort on the job-site shines through. While having the artistic flare for thinking outside of the box, the all-telling intuitiveness and value-oriented mindset that experienced professionals like Leslie possess, is not only invaluable to the customer but a pleasure to deal with as a tradesman that has to execute the work. This said, hands down, the first thing that stands out with Leslie is her infectious, fun loving and happy perspective of the world she lives in. While she is the consummate professional, more importantly she’s just a lovely person, a real person and when I think of her, I smile. I’d go to work to that everyday if I could.
