Before

Last week, we told you about Preston Hollow resident Leslie Ezelle who donated her design skills to help transform a South Dallas home.

The result was a clean, black and lavender color scheme with new, sleek furniture and textiles. The lucky homeowner was Zakiya Payne.

Ezelle, who was a finalist on HGTV’s “Design Star,” was featured in our October issue for her unique campaign for breast cancer awareness in which she designed a huge metal bra sculpture that popped up at various locations around the Dallas.

She did the home maker through the Elves in Disguise program run by New Hope Foundation, which helps impoverished families overcome life’s setbacks. Elves in Disguise provides basic needs like bedding, first aid supplies and toiletries. The public can help by dropping off items noon-6 p.m. at the Empowerment Center. Or call 214.942.6110.
