Moore About... Design

Dawn Moore is a consummate professional. I consulted and subsequently hired her to design a remodel for a bathroom, utility room, kitchen and office nook. Her planning was thoughtful, her process respectful and she constantly kept cost in consideration.

Dawn is just amazing at what she does and on top of that she's an absolute pleasure work with! We put all of our living spaces in Dawn's hands - Living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. She's been able to listen to our needs, my likes & dislikes and my wife's (which often don't agree) and put together ideas that we are both absolutely in love with. From furniture layout to occasional table vignette she's blended our needs and styles seamlessly. She has either picked or influenced every single piece in these rooms. She's listened (patiently) to all of our concerns and come back with ideas that take into account all we brought up and a million details we'd have never though of. That attention to detail adds up to a picture much bigger than the sum of its parts.

Dawn Moore created my new home from top to bottom, start to finish. There isn't a single wall, floor, fabric or item in my home that wasn't either created or influenced by Dawn. I have an adorable manufactured custom home which i believe to be the gem of our neighborhood and it was all Dawn's doing. From the placement of every skylight, to the measurements of my entertainment center, to battling my HOA so i could put up the perfect fence Dawn was the driving force of the creation of my home. I believe i was an easy client because i have no creative eye whatsoever so it was so nice to just sit back and let Dawn work her magic. I had inherited a few random furniture pieces, decorative items and pictures that would still be in storage today. But Dawn found the perfect place for every single item. It was truly amazing how she could find a place for even the most misfit of pieces. And more than just well-designed, my home now incorporates family heritage and memorabilia that has become woven into the fabric of my everyday life. However, the client with his/her own vision is also in great hands with Dawn because she is an inspired collaborator as well. In addition to her gifted vision, relentless creative eye, confidence of style and nagging attention to detail (said with love!), she has wonderful interpersonal skills, instincts and intuition. I was going through a very difficult period in my personal life during the designing and construction of my home and she was so graceful and compassionate during that time. She became personally invested in creating the sanctuary that became my home. And it was everything she said it would be and more. I would do another project with Dawn in a heartbeat and I have already recommended her to my closest friends. Anyone would be lucky to have Dawn at the helm of their design projects.

After seeing how Dawn transformed a few homes in our neighborhood, I knew she was the right designer for us. I loved her style - no matter what style the home was, I just loved her choices. So we hired her to help us remake our house - 2 baths, kitchen, and floor throughout. Throughout the process, she took really good care of us (listening, responsive, etc.) and was just plain fun to work with. Even our dogs enjoyed her visits :) The net result: we now have a home that matches 'us' and our personality, not too 'designer-y' - rather, it looks like 'real people live here.' And we have a few interesting, special touches that were only possible due to Dawn's vision. We certainly never would have thought of having a "Day of the Dead" bathroom sink! The rest of the bathroom was designed stylishly, tastefully around this inspiration. The sink still brings a smile to our faces and anyone who visits!

I had a project in a unique community that needed to stand out. Dawn's understanding of material and ability to source out products made her invaluable to creating the finished product. She had clear vision of where the project would and should go and that helped to control the budget. Her design ideas and style took a tired old house and turned it into an open and warm home. I look forward to our next project together.
