“ Sarah took all the stress away from me as I started from scratch. She listened, planned, and executed exactly what my expectations were, and then some. She provided options, did the sourcing, and even coordinated with my busy schedule for the deliveries. She is fun and amazing to work with. Last but not least, keep within my budget parameters provided to her. ”

“ Sarah was a great help in guiding me with my decorating needs. Everytime I had a question or a new vision she would send me new layouts and resources. She was prompt with responding to emails, phone calls or in person meetings. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her. ”

“ I highly recommend Sarah! She is very responsive, organized, and detailed. She took the time to understand my design goals. I had a specific, limited scope project (only 4 rooms/spaces, concept/design board, list of items to buy, and where to buy it) and she was able to execute it well. It was a pleasure working with her and I would work with her again if I ever have another design project ”
