We are thrilled to announce that the “Captain’s Quarters” wine cellar in Newport, designed in collaboration with Charles River Wine Cellars, ART Architects, and FBN Construction, was awarded GOLD at the 2025 BRAGB PRISM Awards. This project is a true celebration of craftsmanship and collaboration. Layered textures, rich woods, and soft, ambient lighting come together to create a space designed for conversation and connection.
We are so honored that our Elevated Millennium Design primary bedroom was named Best Modern Bedroom at the 2025 IFDA New England Awards Gala. This space was completely reimagined into a primary suite that feels like a five-star retreat. Every element was designed with intention, transforming the room through a thoughtful blend of architecture, materiality, and tailored luxury. Thank you to our project partners FBN Construction, Herrick & White, Bouyea & Associates, Powell Fine Art Advisory, Julia Heffelfinger, Makkas Workroom, and Michael J. Lee Photography.
When Designer Leslie Fine first saw the condo on the upper floor of a downtown luxury residential high-rise: The Millennium Residences at Winthrop Center, it was little more than a big white box. Although uninspiring on the inside with minimal lighting and detail, the many windows throughout gave way to eye-popping views of the Charles River and Boston Harbor. Her challenge was to reimagine the space and infuse it with character and style that wouldn’t interfere with the scenery. (Article by Abby Bielagus, Modern Luxury)
The net zero modern farmhouse blends traditional New England forms, contemporary design and 21st century technology. The Greek Revival style gives the house a timeless exterior. The home uses the latest technology, generating as much power as the building consumes.
Filled with light and modern forms, the interior is bright and clean lined. The color palette, furnishings and custom millwork evoke a midcentury modern aesthetic. The space is efficient and comfortable for an empty nester couple with a fully inclusive first floor layout but expands its use with second floor bedrooms and baths to accommodate visiting family and guests. A south facing terrace and courtyard provides ample outdoor space for soaking in the sun and entertaining. Comfort and function are essential elements in this very beautiful home.

I have some exciting news to share – last night at the Heading Home to Dinner Gala, I was announced as one of the 2019 inductees to the New England Design Hall of Fame! Each year, the New England Design Hall of Fame recognizes a small number of individuals in the design community whose work, influence, and community involvement have set them at the pinnacle of their profession.
I am so honored and thrilled to have been chosen as an inductee. For the past twenty-five years, my involvement in this wonderful design community has provided me the opportunity to get to know and to collaborate with so many talented colleagues. Further, I have been so fortunate to work with so many wonderful clients on their exciting projects along the way.
This year’s New England Design Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on November 7th, and I’m looking forward to sharing more exciting updates between now and then. Make sure you’re following me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for all the latest news!
I’m thrilled to share that one of my renovation projects recently won three PRISM awards from The Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston:

Best Living Area in a Private Residence: Bath
First up, a luxurious master bath and dressing room renovation:
Of all the rooms in a home, bathrooms are my all time favorite to design, and this one was no exception! I started by completely reconfiguring the space to maximize the size of the dressing and closet area. The dressing area has beautiful, custom cabinetry with inset antique mirror on the door and drawer fronts.
In the bathroom itself, the custom designed walnut millwork and cabinetry is highlighted with burled door fronts and is finished off with gorgeous polished nickel decorative hardware.
Detailed marble and tile steal the show in this design. Classic cararra marble is utilized throughout with an amazing mosaic as accent around the tub, over the makeup vanity and in the shower. Decorative marble mosaic details frame the marble floor of the space.
Last but certainly not least — that tub! A gorgeous free standing oval cast iron bath with a burnished exterior offers the ultimate end of day retreat. Overall, this is a space where my clients will be able to prepare for the day and unwind in full luxury!
Best Living Area in a Private Residence: Living/Dining Room
We turned the glamour way up in this waterfront penthouse with sweeping ocean views! First, the dramatic dining room:
I custom designed the textured metal built in. It includes thick star-fire glass shelving; door, drawer fronts and custom door handles covered with a faux ostrich vinyl fabric, and integrated LED lighting to highlight art and beautiful accessories. I then brought in equally fabulous furnishings to match: a glass table with a unique metal faceted base, acrylic chairs upholstered in a fun animal skin motif fabric and a contemporary chandelier created with layers of pink fabric.
It’s hard to compete with the floor to ceiling water views of this living room, but I worked with creamy colors and decadent textures to create sophisticated drama in this beautiful space. Pops of playful jewel toned throw pillows enhance the low slung sectional sofa. A menagerie of textures — velvet swivel chairs, silver and grey shag area rug and a high gloss cocktail table with a shiny, mirrored tray — add comfort and visual appeal to the space, while a more traditional oversized mirror balances the space. Finally, we opted for bold but simplistic artwork that allows the focus to stay on that incredible view.
Though both award-winning designs are quite different stylistically, they capture what I love most about being a full-service interior designer. In both spaces, I worked closely with my clients to create spaces with elegant custom features, delicious layers of color and texture, and luxurious style.
If looking at these designs makes you crave a fabulous new living room, dining room, or bathroom of your own, I don’t blame you! To schedule a consultation to discuss an upcoming project, please reach out to me at lesliefine@lesliefineinteriors.com or 617-236-2286.
