Your content has gone from vlog style to full blown production. Love following you journey and getting a peek into these amazing homes!

[@missmck12]

This home was just a visual feast with the vibrant colors. Such a welcome departure from boring neutrality. Loved this house. That tiffany blue bar butler area was everything and more. Absolutely divine interior!

[@jackandlill]

What a perfect way to describe this home as "a visual feast!" That is exactly how I saw this whole space!

[@stardustgirl2904]

💯🥰👍🏻I can't stand house's that have no color, it's like living in a bowl of oatmeal 🤮. I draw and paint 🎨🖌️ and color can be so incredibly beautiful , that I don't want to miss it!

[@mariamary65]

You know it's a welcoming and warm home when the dogs are considered in the kitchen seating plan. I love the ample light and colour in each room. Just gorgeous.

[@mrs.atkins3930]

Dogs in the kitchen . There goes potluck!

[@kbuckner5214]

Can you imagine buying a home and relocating the stairs? If I ever win the lottery, I would see if she was available. The "Tiffany" butler pantry, the green bar at the entrance. I also give her "best dressed" designer loved that dress.

[@divasmother9372]

I would love to see her home decorated for the holidays! Thank you for allowing us in. Simply beautiful. ❤️

[@THALOOTI]

Yes, how would it be decorated with the holidays? Would it be traditional red green or adapted to the interior?

[@cantocant2346]

One of the most beautifully decorated/designed homes I've seen. It's magnificent.

[@sosoutherncustomequestrian4598]

I'm not a huge fan of wallpaper in general but Leslie converted me! What a fabulous home and a talented designer.

[@silvergirl7810]

I remember when we thought wallpaper was great in the 60’s, 70’s then 80’s then wall paper was considered ‘horrendous’ then now we’re back to it- wonder if it will stay in or go out? Cause boy that stuff is hard to take off

[@Cherryshake]

One of my quirks is that I don’t consider buying homes with the efficient “open the front door and then STAIRS.” So it’s opening my world to know you can move staircases. Amazing. Lover her style.

[@piaforbes5716]

Nothing beats a home - no matter its design style - with beautiful art!

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

Amen and with everything that’s going on with rent home mortgage increases inflation it’s truly a blessing to have a home stay safe pia my friend many blessings 😚

[@piaforbes5716]

@@tiffanycurtis4794 Absolutely! And a beautiful one is an even bigger blessing. All the best to you!

[@josephcrangle4669]

Leslie Jenkins home is like a Lilly Pulitzer dress; bold patterns and classic shapes, very chic. I just adore this home.

[@theresaholden7580]

I want her to decorate my house! I was very impressed with her style. The dogs are welcome, that’s a real home! Absolutely stunning.

[@snejanaiordanova334]

Wow, just wow! Such a beautiful, elegant and inspiring home! Everything works so well together - colors, patterns, furniture... creating unique and cozy home.

[@RyanKyleNewman]

I was definitely a bit confused as to why someone would want a “historic home that had been well preserved by the previous owners” just to completely gut it.

[@davidshep45]

This is a home to marvel over. Every detail collected over time comes together in perfect harmony. The most interesting and beautiful homes to me are filled with collections that normally would never go together and yet work well when executed by a trained eye. The soothing color choices are a perfect backdrop for patterned fabrics,rugs and accessories.

[@arlenecal]

Off the charts... simply stunning! A large budget affords just that. Thank you for the tour.

[@tr-cn4he]

Beyond!

[@mayxiong5213]

I can’t imagine having so much money to be able to design a home however I want!

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

Imagine having it all may don’t ever say that you can design with little money and remember just because she has money doesn’t mean she is happy and money can easily come and easily go god bless you darlin🙏🏿

[@Rebelliousrefinement]

A lot of it is prioritizing over other unnecessary things..budgeting and getting creative where you shop. Having patience is another value to creating your dream home especially on limited funds

[@melissam7067]

Love that she shared a few picture of her previous home. It looks lovely, but this Fort Worth home is so elegant and yet accessible. Sometimes the designer owned homes look like you can't sit down. The butler bar is simply divine. Love her necklaces too..very unusual.

[@rmonson5002]

I noticed her necklaces as well. I wanted to get a closer look!

[@Amy-tl2xe]

Homeworthy, you do the best job of all the decorating channels. I love the way you keep yourself in the background and allow the home owners to speak and really explain why they did what they did. That way, the videos become educational as well as entertaining. The camera work is good, though I did want to get a glimpse of her fun bathroom floor!

[@mt2766]

I loved her dress, too! What lovely colors and pattern. The bar is fabulous. Excellent vision on enhancing their floor plan.

[@ski2itri]

Love the dog, love the dress, love her style and love the house. Bravo!

[@merrywalsh2809]

Very charming home. Calm and sophisticated. Beautiful play of patterns, textures and colors. All the wallpapers and art make it beautiful and contemporary. That butler room and the bar, with the gorgeous, lacquered, saturated colors are to die for. The flow of the house is great.

[@sharonwebb945]

Love that she incorporated a “Grandkids’ Room” by faith believing it will be used,… how precious and I love it too!

[@sharonwebb945]

The kitchen and breakfast nook are simply the best I’ve ever seen. Elegant, unique, functional and the wallpaper is so so lovely. This lady has excellent taste and is so gifted. Love mudroom and the “Friend-Door”!!!

[@cooperwesley1536]

I have yet to see a disappointing Texas home... here or on any other channel. All of them are awash is color, pattern, whimsy, and personality. While the rest of the world cowers in fear of color, the men and women of Texas are doing everything right. Many thanks... and cheers!

[@evaboldt653]

Ms. Jenkins explains her design decisions very clearly and looks great in her dress. Especially like the living room draperies, the plaster fireplace surround, the butler's bar, and the covered porch area. Would like to walk through the space to see all the lovely accessories and art close up...and to pat the dog!

[@UMVELINQANGI]

Cozy, charming and chic. Her assured use of color and pattern add personality and a touch of whimsy. Such a lovely home!

[@ShyDog827]

We are extremely lucky to have very talented interior designers here in Dallas, each with their own unique approach . I very much liked the front patio she designed for morning coffee; very nostalgic , attractive, and practical. I really enjoyed seeing hints of blue of the butler’s bar from the dining room as it coordinated the two rooms so vividly. But what particularly caught my eye was that the color and pattern of her dress matched every room she showed. Very cute. Lol

[@bradswanson7919]

So beautiful! Love her style.

[@lisafield4154]

Beautifully appointed. I love all the wallpaper and attention to fabric details. Kitchen is a dream!!! Never shy away from wallpapering a kitchen.

[@oliviasmithrealtor]

I have come back to this video countless times for inspiration on my own home remodel. Absolutely beautiful and so well thought out, one of my favorites on this channel

[@terrywalker2437]

Lots of patterns, colors and textures that I would never think would go together. But it's absolutely gorgeous and ironically very calming, considering how much is packed into each space.

[@lisaostrowski1516]

That bar/butlers pantry area is amazing. The way the color transformed it... Lovely home.

[@katherinespicer]

Leslie is absolutely amazing in her playfulness with patterns and textures. I have been following her on Instagram for a while and the projects she does, and all the details are always worth studying closely.

[@joldc5123]

The back patio and the art are my favourite Everything else is “too much”. She loves her home which is what is important

[@alisonsneed3707]

The happy colors, the wallpaper are fabulous. I especially love the high shine lacquer surfaces.

[@susanshattuck4911]

Beautiful home! Her choice of wallpaper is so charming and sophisticated. There wasn’t one thing that I didn’t love. Just a beautiful home.

[@MizJilly]

Classic, but there's an unexpected twist to everything. Absolutely beautiful!

[@rmonson5002]

Agreed.

[@debrahayes3778]

Love the color palet. Playful and not overbearing. Lovely!

[@TGSHomeandGarden]

A true Designer! I love EVERYTHING about her and her home! She has a style that is unmatched! This is amazing. I just hated for the video to end.

[@jancallaway8498]

Very glam beautifully arranged but no cosines

[@bdcorgimom]

Just lovely - a combination of old and new that works so well.

[@chandirodriguez7551]

I watched a lot of interior decorating shows but theirs decorator is OUTSTANDING. Color, placement , size, all the elements are exquisitely balanced. If I lived near Dallas/ Ft. Worth, I would ask her to decorate for me. She’s a cut way above . I can feel how right everything is in her work!

[@MarleyRaineyHenry]

What a talent she has! This home is beautiful and has been so warmly elevated. She’s a lovely and charming home host, as well.

[@terri4353]

Wow who would think all those colors and patterns would work and yet it’s phenomenal. I’d love to live there. So casual and elegant at the same time.

[@junqueirapr01]

I watched this video countless times, the butler bar is breathtaking. What a joy to watch!

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

The dinging room mural wallpaper is so amazing, it adds energy to the dining room when not being “used” …very cool.

[@sarahterry2140]

Love the art collection and the importance it played in designing this fabulous home.

[@fleurfleur5468]

Very beautiful home, well designed , I like the wallpaper and the textiles, as designer, she really makes her home as a showroom.

[@susanmoorewerner8444]

It’s like a magical artist/ wizard used their magic wand to create an entire home that is ONE BEAUTIFUL AND COLORFUL work of art. I LOVE EVERY SQUARE INCH! I think this home sets a new bar for interior design. If there is a heaven and I find myself there, it will look like this😍

[@sumar207]

I love what this woman has done with this already extraordinary home. She had so many innovative changes and her sense of style makes this home a welcoming destination for the lucky people that go there.

[@MK-wm6gu]

I love this home! The colors, textures, and layers seem to call you to sit and linger. It’s absolutely gorgeous!

[@loretta7851]

Love ALL the wallpaper treatments and the Tiffany butler bar❤

[@monkeybearmax]

I love it! Lots of patterns but also very calming and peaceful! I like her taste in artwork and how she used it to calm down a wall or give it energy!

[@oliviacasino8888]

What a treat to tour this tour du force! I just knew from the incredibly creative patterned dress of our hostess that her home would deliver on color, style and a certain bold “this is me” vibe; was not disappointed! And what I, upon a second viewing, also find of interest is that with ALL those varied color and pattern choices abounding throughout her home, it still remains a quietly sophisticated abode with artistry trumping the ever lurking possibility of Bohemianism. Congrats in all departments…

[@beatrizgray5975]

One of my all time favorite designers in Dallas. She has exquisite taste! Her color palette is beautiful, always brings a smile to my face. Fantastic tour! 🥰

[@tommypsue]

Very happy, one of the most uniquely effervescent, elegant places i've seen, ethereal but handsome too, and not overdone.

[@jacquelinehernandez6328]

Stunning home. Love her style.

[@brokgrl85]

Love her bold approach to color & patterns! Have to admit the TX homeworthy series really blew me away...their sense of style and decor was completely different and honestly quite refreshing and inspiring! Gave me ideas and also reinforcement to stick to my gut & vision no matter what others say or think🙂 That Tiffany blue butler bar...10s across the board🙌🏿

[@nagolhayze9366]

What a beautifully inspiring home. Absolutely enchanting, and what a most empathetic and graceful host. Thank you for showing us around.

[@lifewithklc]

This home is beautifully done, and the butler’s pantry/bar is perfection

[@blueriver1604]

Thanks Home Worthy, you just helped me live throughout 22 minutes of powerwalking on the treadmill. You are officially part of my new routine. ❤

[@ShaunaCross1]

Well done - the green entrance bar and the Tiffany blue butlers bar are sublime.

[@user-mv2tg8hc8c]

Oh, my goodness!! I loooove this house! This is what I envision when I think of style, elegance, and wealth! I wish I had a home like this!

[@Hokis90210]

A lovely home and thank you, Leslie, for showing all of us. The butlers, bar area is gorgeous and the kitchen and outdoor covered patio areas too! A morning coffee would be charming, cozy and refreshing in that space with the light color palette. Enjoyed this tour.

[@zenaidagonzalez6343]

Love this house, all the colors, and especially the wall paper. Very well done.

[@Zgoodbook]

Super talented! How this woman is able to work with so much patterns and put it all together wow. Obsessed with all the wall paper, very unique.

[@lesliespencer5506]

Unbelievably beautiful home. The way she has bravely combined bold, colorful moments in each room which showcased her extraordinary artwork is masterful. Could just linger for hours in each space. Gifted and joyful design.

[@ginacrusco234]

I love the artwork throughout, and what a great idea to back one of them with a mirror! She creates a carefully-honed visual field whether or not it's my taste. My big doubt is how the house could have had "great bones" if it needed to be gutted.

[@ShyDog827]

I was confused by that as well, but I guess she felt very compelled to make it Her space.

[@monieluvs4125]

That's exactly what having "great bones" implies. Imagine finding the bones of a brown bear a year after it died in the wild. No more bear, but only bones. So, it's totally stripped down, devoid of what it used to be, just the bare minimum of what used to be a great bear, the bone's.

[@SS11660]

Each room is different , nothing boring. I think dining room my favorite.

[@sharonwebb945]

The bar & Butler’s Pantry is gorgeous!!!

[@kimberlythomas4373]

My all time favorite Homeworthy Home! Drop dead gorgeous !!!

[@paolabueso]

What an exquisite home! I absolutely love her design choices. Thank you so much for sharing this! 💖🙌🙌🙌

[@Stuarts84]

I love her dress!

[@dianegerlach2454]

I've always loved terra cotta roofs! I lived in Dallas for 5 years and spent all my free time in Ft. Worth. There I found all the great culture and of course Kimball Art Museum

[@claudiamann7111]

What a beautiful, cozy, and elegant home. Love the use of the lacquer paint and the color combinations are fabulous. Thank you so much for being such a gracious hostess and letting us into your home.

[@aswithinsowithout]

Every room is outrageously beautiful. Loved this. What a treat.

[@laurenglass4514]

Square works really well , she is so lucky to have the right proportions and light from windows

[@truthhurts4954]

Ok this house is stunning. But Leslie where did you get that dress? Seriously it’s beautiful.

[@wahoo4uva]

my favorite things in the house are the tiger print arm chair and the powdered donut artwork 🔥🤍🖤✨

[@craftingwithcharm7665]

Stunning! So many different colors & patterns yet it all meshes so well together! Cute how the dog jumped on the future grandkids bed! 🐶 Love her dress 👗

[@stf.pr1]

What a beautiful home! I thought I would dislike it because of the mix of so many patterns and colors, but it works so well. And their art collection is wonderful!

[@darnellhollingsworth1681]

I wish I had her talent. It’s just beautiful, and I love how the dog made himself at home on the bed.

[@kimowen339]

Absolutely beautiful. Very peaceful. Leslie is a very talented and knowledgable designer.

[@MagnoliaEmporium]

LOVE the whole space! The Tiffany blue butlers room is dreamy.....!!!

[@pkihu9910]

I would welcome seeing more apartments and smaller homes on this channel. Not everyone watching is rich. It would to be nice to post more relevant homes.

[@williamwatson8496]

Nailed it! What a labor of love. Many choice ideas that everyone regardless of budget can pull from. Thank you!

[@Butterscotch-be7es]

I loved her wallpaper, fabric and art choices. I am an expat living in Europe for 20 years, the homes are generally much smaller. I tend to avoid the videos from Texas as their homes are so massive, I cannot relate. Decided belatedly to give this an go and was mesmerized by this very pretty home and her thought out choices. Loved it!

[@TracyDill-tx1ju]

This is a beautiful home and Leslie is a very talented designer. I loved the kitchen, bar area and those black and white awnings!

[@TheRightFit100]

Love her style. The house was amazing. Wallpaper in dining room so good.

[@alfredoparra6312]

Stunning! This home is a master class in interior design. Thank you for sharing.

[@dolcevitausa6448]

Love it...colors and patterns that all work together perfectly.

[@edwardfernandez5354]

A beautiful home, liked the way you decorated your home. The future grandchildren's room is lovely. It is nice to always think ahead, you never know when the family will start growing. Some times they grow in a bunch, three, five, seven and one after the other, meanwhile it can always be used as a guest room. God Bless You All, keep safe, and thank you for sharing!

[@Ali-Bea]

Love. I love the fact it’s got lots of pattern and texture but in soothing pale colours that blend very well.

[@vickimaiorano5763]

Just love this. Didn’t want it to end.

[@tammyroberts902]

Leslie is so very charming, I love everything about her home!

[@lorrilewis2178]

There is so much that I like, but that dining room wallpaper makes me feel as if I died and went to Heaven. So whimsical.

[@TheLeenyb]

This home seems to really reflect your personality and that is what everyone hopes to afford and achieve...the most sophisticated version of our personality. Congratulations. Popular young designers need to learn about bringing in homes with soul (as Tara Shaw advocates) and bringing in the provenance (that Windsor Smith speaks so well of). The collection of furniture, especially chairs...it's all so "Leslie" and I don't even know her! One question...did you add the pool?

[@virginiabotha3545]

So nice to come across an interior designer who isn't scared to bring colour into a home. So many of the interior designers seem to be petrified of using colour.

[@elisabethmarytopley2191]

beautiful. her dress too

[@theretrorescuer]

I've been swooning over her blouse and matching skirt and looking for it online for the past 20 minutes! lol! Let me know out there if anyone can find it because her outfit is STUNNING! Nice house, too.

[@RoseWhite-zj3pp]

Her dress is in harmony to house decor

[@binitatrew1642]

I love it ...even thou its not completely my cup of tea. I appreciate differences.

[@fancycat]

Wow! Just wow, gorgeous 😍
