“When starting a project we think we can do it all ourselves. We have been around a long time and we know where to buy or can research where to purchase all the materials needed. We even know the contractors who can do the work. What we lack is the knowledge and experience in putting it all together.

Having an interior designer (Leslie McGwire & Associates) involved in a project was the best decision I made. The attention to detail, understanding the design principles and the thought that goes into creating a functional working space is not as easy as it sounds. Working with a designer can be highly beneficial and will significantly enhance the success of your project. Designers can foresee potential issues and provide creative solutions, ensuring the remodel process goes smoothly. I knew what I wanted and with the help and guidance of a designer I was able to translate my vision into a reality that met all my specific needs.

Leslie McGwire ASID Allied introduces unique ideas and elements you might not have considered adding a uniqueness to your project while being cost efficient. They have access to a wide network of suppliers and resources often at discounted rates which will save money and help stay on budget. Their expertise and the value they add to the project often make it a worthwhile investment, leading to a more successful, less stressful and satisfying remodel.

Leslie is great and we joke that I’m here longest running project. She is very patient and was extremely helpful through this process not only for her design capabilities but also her guidance and friendship. We talked about our brand and what I wanted the new store to feel like and she said I will send you a few things to look at. Next thing I know I am getting packages in the mail with a whole design board of potential options on what we could use with a layout of where everything was supposed to go. It made the process very easy and efficient. She helped with our floor plans, cases design and finishes and brought it all together with exceptional showroom lighting, colors and furnishing to create not only an eye pleasing cohesive design but one that is very efficient for daily activities and events.

Working with a strong team (Leslie McGwire & Associates) helped tremendously on a larger scale project like a remodel of a store. Working with visual aids leave very little to the imagination and with the use of design boards, photo’s of previous projects, detailed elevations of cases and duratrans it is extremely helpful in building confidence that you are making the right decisions as you move forward with the different stages of your project.”
