Do yourself a favor.......Don’t go anywhere else. These women are professional, honest and execute as promised. They have been in business for over 30 years. I have never had an issue or even a glitch. As a renovator and designer, I have never been tempted to try any other company for my decorating needs.

Our History
Leslie and Kelly have worked together in retail for over 25 years. Four years ago, they were working at a fabric store that was on the brink of closing. They’d become friends with Kristin, an Interior Designer who was one of their regular clients. One day, while they were discussing the store closing, they had a brilliant idea. Why not join forces and open up their own store? Fusing a natural chemistry with years of experience and a shared passion for interior design, Design Resource & Fabrics was born.
Leslie Bertsch
Originally from Louisiana, Leslie has worked in the retail industry for over 30 years at places including fabric stores, a model home company, and the Denver Design Center. Her experience and way with customers shine through with every interaction. Take her your design problems, and she’ll find a solution! Better yet, visit her often, become a friend, and get invited to her house for dinner — she’s also an excellent cook.
Favorite wine: Chardonnay
Kelly Goodbar
A self-proclaimed semi-native, Kelly grew up in Iowa but moved to Colorado when she was only 19. She has worked in retail her entire life, beginning in the 80s with the wallpaper business and gradually transitioning to fabrics. Kelly seldom stops moving and is always quick to help! Her shorthaired pointer keeps her moving at home as well, where she loves to take Scout for long walks.
Favorite wine: Chardonnay
Kristin Hibler
A Colorado native, Kristin earned a degree in Interior Design from CSU. In addition to her work at Design Resource & Fabrics, she also founded Innovative Spaces, an interior merchandising and design company. Prior to that she spent 10 years as the Design Director for a national model home company. When she’s not designing beautiful spaces, she loves to travel, bake, and spend time with her three slobbery Bassett Hounds.
