“Sara is a true professional and very talented. She works hard to utilize what you already own where possible, and suggests additions that will make a difference in pulling everything together in a beautiful and classy way. Her taste is exquisite and yet she enters into your personal style so that the end result reflects you!

- ROBIN, HOUSTON TX

“I worked with Sara for several years at a design firm in Houston. When she went out on her own, I hired her to redesign several rooms in my home. Sara's creativity is amazing. She changed a backsplash, hood and lighting fixtures in my kitchen and bar area, giving the kitchen a totally new look. She transformed our family room from a dowdy, grandma style room into a light filled, peaceful, beautiful and soothing space that we all love. Sara not only added new paint colors, furniture, fabrics, and accessories but also designed two unique tables that added the perfect touch to the room. She is a very talented designer.”
