Leeann and her team are so easy to work with. Our yearlong project involved remodeling and redecorating our entire home and Fringe was an invaluable resource during this process.

Leeann is incredibly talented and professional. and the best kind of perfectionist. She is also great fun to work with. I appreciated all the time she spent with my husband and me, wine in hand, understanding our style, creating a vision, and going over options. I'm amazed at the countless hours she spent finding the perfect piece, or color, or fabric selection. She's WAY more picky than I am -- Thank goodness! And I am absolutely, 100% thrilled with the results in every room. I would recommend Fringe without hesitation.

Fringe Home Design did a fabulous job on our home. We were able to use existing furniture pieces, combined with new to totally update our home! Fringe was respectful of my budget and style. I recommend Fringe without hesitation.

Having just finished a design project with Bob, I cannot say enough about what a pleasure it was working with him. He sat down with us and listened to all our "wants and needs", then designed a very functional space that included everything we talked about. We definitely will work with him on our next project.

My husband and I own a home in Oak Park and are undertaking a major remodel. One of the things we want to do is have window treatments made for 13 different rooms. I stopped by Fringe Home Design, which is close to our house, and the man behind the counter refused to help me. I told him I had measurements and was interested in ordering some draperies.

He asked what kind, and I said I was interested in some pleated drapes and some roman shades. I asked about fabric, and he said he couldn't give me any quotes because the price would depend on the price of the fabric. I said that was fine, and asked if I could see about ordering some. He said no, his "workroom" would have to do it. He didn't offer to send someone out.

He didn't want my contact information. He didn't want to look at the measurements I had with me. He didn't even ask me what kind of fabric I was thinking about. I'm not sure if he thought I wasn't up to snuff because I was riding my bike and dressed in workout clothes. Or if he thought I was ignorant about draperies and fabric.

Or that I was just trying to cover one small window in an apartment and therefore not going to spend very much. Whatever the reason, he obviously didn't think I was worth his time and when he turned me away. Obviously, I won't be ordering window treatments from this shop.
