Thanks to Shawn and Tina the transformation of our home was incrediable and beyond expections. We were extremely pleased with how smooth the entire renovation process went and over the top with the final results.
Throughout the entire renovation Shawn and Tina were involved in every aspect of our remodel to include concept design overseeing construction, furnishing and decor. They partnered through out the process, shopping for materials and furnishings, providing recommendations in all design aspects. Tina was an absolute dream to work with, her design capabilities and and taste level is superior. She is both easy and accomodationg to work with. Her design and vision boards were invaluable. Shawn is extremely detail oriented, ensuring the quality of work was to the highest standards, excels at quality control. We will most definitely use Dacotah Studio for any future design upgrades and or remodal. We love and are tolally enjoying our new rooms.

Tim + Mindy | Project Silverlake
We worked with Shawn and Christina for a huge home renovation project that involved taking a 3 bed, 2 bath 2,000 sq ft Silverlake home down to the studs and rebuilding it back into something entirely different from the condition it was purchased in. It was our first renovation project and a huge investment for us so it was really important to have the right partner that brought an equal mix of design inspiration, project management and above all, lots of patience! Shawn and Christina bought all of this and more.
We opted to enlist them to not just design but project manage the process in partnership with our GC. They were worth their weight in gold in this respect, visiting the site every week and sometimes even more often. They helped catch a million small things that could have gone wrong and set them right, often finding a solution before we even heard that there was a problem.
We really felt they went above and beyond, often picking up the slack for other professionals without being asked and without hitting us with surprise bills. They worked especially well with our GC, who was also excellent, and I’m glad to say they have gone on to work together on many other projects with other Clients, some of which were friends we referred to this dream team. We were so grateful we found them and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a talented, kind, patient and loving team to work with!

Tina and Shawn helped remodel our new house purchase before we moved in. We have two kids and wanted to reimagine the kitchen, shared jack and jill bathroom, and hallway closets. We gave them a blank slate to redo the floor plan and utilities, and they came up with a great plan that doubled our kitchen storage space, doubled the shared bathroom area, opened up the kitchen to the dining room, and added a coffee bar area in the dining room. We would not have been able to imagine this layout without their help.
Dacotah was immensely helpful in selecting vendors for us. They had a trusted GC as well as cabinet maker and structural engineer lined up - all of which produced high-quality results, even if there were some delays. They also coordinated between our GC and the vendors, and they conducted weekly site visits to make sure our project was on track and the vision was realized. They were responsive over email and text, responding within the day, something that's important with a high-stress situation like a remodel. When we wanted to increase the distance between the stove and island, they made it happen coordinating with the GC and cabinet maker. Overall, we're incredibly happy with the end product and would highly recommend Dacotah Studio. Aside from their work, Shawn and Tina were so nice and pleasant to work with and we'd do it again!

Alec + Laura | Project Atwater Village
Shawn and Tina helped us completely transform our home, taking it from a dark and choppy space into a gorgeous, light-filled home that flows seamlessly.
From the first time they saw the house, they had a vision in mind that really excited us -- and throughout the process, they continued to deliver in every way. We also appreciated their willingness to provide options (from everything for furnishings, to materials, to contractors) at every budget. They work hard for their clients and are kind, thoughtful, and knowledgable, with excellent taste. We recommend them without hesitation!

Dacotah Studio made our first home our dream home. We needed to rethink the kitchen and bathrooms—and Shawn and Christina took us to the next level, helping us reimagine and improve the entire flow, functionality, and style of the space.
We reached out to Shawn and Tina after a glowing recommendation from a friend. From the first call, we knew they were the right partners for us. They have incredible taste, strong professional relationships, and bring a kindness and optimism that set the tone for the entire project. We are detail oriented, opinionated clients, and they built upon our vision, guided us with care and patience, and gently pushed us forward when it was needed.
Our home had great bones but needed some big changes. They helped us understand which investments would have the biggest impact, and identified vendors at different price points to get us the quality and design we required. They were involved with every detail, from layout, to design renders, to selecting tile and light fixtures.
We renovated before moving to Los Angeles, which meant that we placed all of our trust in the project management and on-the-ground design advice of Shawn and Tina. They recommended a GC and a woodworker, and managed the relationships to ensure that communication and execution was seamless and near-constant. We had a wonderful experience with the entire team, and found ourselves missing the crew once the project was complete.
Renovations can be stressful, and Shawn and Tina made it a fun and rewarding experience. Every day, we enjoy the beautiful design decisions they helped us make. We couldn’t have done it without them, and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a true partner in their home project.

Shawn and Tina guided us through the process of updating our 100+ year old Craftsman as well as adding an ADU with a similar aesthetic. They have a very strong sense of design, from materials to colors to finishes, and took a lot of the guesswork out of considering each room. More importantly, we were able to tap into their network of contractors and specialists to make sure the work was done right.
definitely recommend them to others.
