During our 2-hour consultation, Dawn not only found a color that perfectly matched our style, counters, and backsplash but also spotted opportunities to refresh the colors in the dining room and entry to bring the whole design together. Her color savvy is fantastic, and she asked great questions and listened carefully to incorporate our preferences and ideas. She left us with paint swatches for all three rooms, and the new colors look incredible. Dawn's color consultation more than exceeded our expectations, but she didn't stop there! She also suggested ways to update the kitchen and dining room lighting to be more functional and coordinated. Her after-visit email summary included links to all of the ideas she had offered, including multiple options for fixtures that were very affordable and perfect for our spaces. We love the new lighting. To top it all off, when we told Dawn about our longer-term goal of renovating our kitchen, she offered fantastic ideas for reconfiguring the space to make it more functional and appealing. She followed up with detailed recommendations in her after-visit email summary and included rough drawings to help us visualize thew space. The 2-hour consultation with Dawn was an incredible value, and we definitely want to work with her on the kitchen renovation project!

Her guidance not only made the process easy, but it also saved me over $900. I truly got everything I asked for and more. Thank you, Dawn!

I've been to this showroom space twice now for a couple different cooking classes -- once for a New Orleans dinner pairing with Chef Che and another time for an Irish Soda bread baking moms-night-out with Ask Aunt V. The front of the show room boasts a beautiful island, kitchen cabinets, and an oven range to die for. It's a great spot for mingling and enjoying examples of what Liam Brex has to offer. In the back is another kitchen set up with yet another gorgeous island, oven range, built in drawers, and surprise refrigerators. I loved the wine cellar cabinet and fridge space in the island! I have to say, it's pretty genius to utilize their space after hours for local events. Not only is it the perfect place for gathering , cooking, or baking, but a wonderful opportunity for Liam Brex to introduce their work. I've lived in Naperville most of my life and had no idea this was here despite them being founded back in 2007. I know down the line a kitchen and bath remodel will be in our future, so I will for sure be keeping this business in mind for guidance.

The people there could not have been nicer and the prices reasonable. If you like something other than run-of-the-mill retail shops, this is the place for you.

I am not the best at decorating a house so desperately needed someone who could help and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

She helped us in thinking out of the box and making choices from wall colors, light fixtures, selecting furniture which made the entire house feel very modern very quickly. She recommended small changes that we could DIY ourselves and it made a ton of difference. We were thinking of decorating 2 rooms but Meghan is happy to answer ANY design related question throughout the entire house. We are so so happy that we decided to work with Meghan. She is so easy to talk to, is on top of all her communications and takes the stress out of the entire experience. Highly recommend giving her a call.
