Leslie redesigned two thirds of our home and it has been delightful ever since. We met Leslie on a Kitchen and Bath Design Tour and we were immediately drawn to her enthusiasm and skill. Her attention to detail, function and beauty was very impressive. We noticed that cats were accommodated by integrating the litter box into the cabinetry. We wanted that feature as well.
We met and she asked us how we entertained and how we used our kitchen. When we explained our tag-team way of entertaining, she integrated that into the design of the kitchen. It has worked brilliantly. Leslie insists on perfection and she is prepared to insist on the best quality products and the best installation possible. If something is not right, she will make it so. She insisted that our shower door be installed three times. She had the cabinet maker redo the finish on our wall unit because the color was not right. She made sure the contractor put an outlet on the right side of the bathroom sink because I am right handed with a hair dryer. It is these kind of details that are daily reminders of how grateful we are to Leslie and her ability to customize and design with function and beauty in mind.
Leslie is a terrific design partner! She listens to her clients and gives them exactly what they need, even if they do not know it! :) She is detail oriented, curious about tile and experienced, too. This helps so much with layout design and extraordinary installations. I highly recommend Leslie! She is someone who thinks outside the box for interesting materials and finishes.
I highly recommend Leslie Cohen Designs. I have known and respected Leslie Cohen for over 18 years. She not only designed my gorgeous kitchen in La Jolla, CA, but she also designed the furnishings to go with it. In fact, Leslie’s kitchen was chosen to be on an ASID kitchen tour and was featured in San Diego Home and Garden Lifestyle magazine and Better Homes and Garden magazines. Leslie Cohen is just the best!
Over the year it has been a pleasure to be associated with Leslie through ASID and watch her become a highly respected interior designer. I have enjoyed visiting her kitchen projects in design showcases/kitchen tours and seeing her work in publications. Her creativity is inspirational and attention to detail is always exhibited. The Interior Design Program at Mesa had an annual fundraising event, Day with Designers, where the public was invited to learn about interior design topics and the value of hiring a professional designer. Yearly, I asked Leslie to be a present. I admire her professionalism and expertise in the field. Her seminar was always highly attended. She also allowed me to bring my student to her job site on a field trip where she gave them an excellent overview of a remodel project. I highly recommend Leslie Ann Cohen as a speaker on the topic of Interior Design.
Our bathroom was in dire need of a refresh--it was outdated, lacked storage, and didn't comport with our design aesthetic (too traditional).
Leslie was recommended by a friend. She made the process very easy, providing design and construction ideas and detailed plans; she also helped us set a budget and connected us with an excellent contractor.
Now our bath is beautiful and spacious. We are very happy with the results!
I highly recommend Leslie Cohen Design. I have known her for many years and her work is amazing.
Leslie is a gifted designer with a rare talent for creating spaces that are not only beautiful to look at, but also beautiful to live in. She is sought after not only for her superb design skills but for her expansive knowledge of the kitchen and bath design field, and she is highly regarded in the industry by peers and the media alike due to her expertise in design.
I have worked with Leslie on many occasions and found her to be a creative, energetic, detail oriented designer. Great results and a pleasure in arriving at those results!
We hired Leslie to design our kitchen when we built our house. Unfortunately, our architect proposed a kitchen that was not functional. Leaslie interviewed us, she listened and understood our needs. Her ideas and innovative concepts results in a very functional kitchen. if we were to build another house, we would call on her again.
I have had the pleasure of working with Leslie on a number of projects . She has a thorough understanding of the construction process and her attention to detail makes for a smooth project. From a detailed scope of work to final color selections, Leslie envisions the possibilities and has the ability to make them a reality.
We have used Leslie's design service for two projects. The first was a remodeling of 3 bathrooms including a master bath in late 2019. The second was a new deck and screen porch redo that we are just starting after a pause for the pandemic. Leslie is very knowledgeable about design considerations and choices of materials to use. She helped us think through issues that we would not have thought about on our own. Leslie is personable and easy to work with, generous with her time, and clear about costs. We always felt that she was working with us to achieve a look that we wanted rather than telling us what she thought we should do. Leslie listens well and is able to use feedback to tailor a project to the needs of her clients. We would definitely use her again!
Fabulous - our primary bedroom ceiling is incredible and the primary bathroom functions much better and is as beautiful as any spa! Closet is fantastic, beautiful, and functional. Laundry room is the nicest I've seen. The guest bathroom is beautiful, functional, better shower and cabinet.
I find Leslie to be incredibly energetic, committed, and focused on her clients. She is also innovative and creative in her design solutions. Leslie and I worked together using Neil Kelly Cabinets, and she is unique in her ability to focus on fine details while keeping the big, creative picture in mind.
I have had the unique opportunity to learn from a very talented designer, working in the same field as I wish to work. As a new designer, this experience has been invaluable to me. Leslie has years of experience, which is evidenced by her HUGE and beautiful portfolio of work. Her attention to detail will amaze you. She is always reading, researching, and asking the right questions.
Leslie Cohen is a wonderful designer. I have known her personally for over 30 years. I referred her to a co-worker that had a fire in her kitchen and needed remodeling. My co-worker could not say enough about how professional Leslie is, she was on time, in budget and created a wonderful kitchen.I have also attended events at various clients homes in which Leslie was hired to remodel, the kitchen and living rooms. I have observed very happy, pleased clients. And her work is outstanding.Leslie is a hard worker, she wants to please her clients. She builds long-lasting relationships with all of her clients and vendors she works with. Leslie is very much recommended to anyone that wants top quality work and fabulous results.
