We work closely with your builder or contractor from concept to completion to ensure that your home reflects who you are and how you want to live. Throughout the process, we focus on how your home will flow together as a whole and give consideration to how each space will best serve you. We ensure that each selection is perfect for the space and that the materials will enhance the unique features of your home.
Our all-encompassing, streamlined process is a signature of every SBD project. Throughout this comprehensive design service, we manage each step of the design process from concept to installation. We always begin with an on-site consultation to best understand your goals and deliver a thoughtfully curated design that supports your personal style and how your space can best serve you.

We provide clear, considered design recommendations, and you move forward on a timeline and budget that feel right for you —without pressure or overwhelm.
DEPENDING ON THE SPACE, This can INCLUDE:
A complete, thoughtfully curated design plan for one room—delivered virtually. The project will begin with a virtual kick off meeting to refine your vision, investment parameters, and aesthetic—establishing a clear and intentional design direction.
You will receive a design presentation curated specifically for your home, complete with the recommended furniture space plan and shoppable selections. All recommendations are tailored to how you live, work, and entertain—never one-size-fits-all. Additional revisions to the layout and shoppable list are available at an hourly rate.

Not every design journey starts with a blank slate. Our Curated Design Service is our hourly service that is designed for clients who need focused, expert guidance rather than a full-scale engagement. This offering provides direct access to our design expertise for a specific decision, space, or sourcing need—whether refining a single element or unlocking trade-only resources not available at retail.
We invite you to confidently step into a space that has been thoughtfully curated to reflect its architectural character while enhancing the way you live and experience your home.
Following design approval, we’ll procure the selections, monitor project progress, and manage any unforeseen issues that arise. Once construction is complete, we’ll install all furnishings, art, and accessories.
Once approved, we’ll further explore your needs, design aesthetic, and how to best elevate your space. During this phase, we’ll produce design boards, drawings, renderings, and make selections. The result? A design presentation thoughtfully crafted to who you are and how you want to live.
We’ll begin with a detailed questionnaire followed by a virtual meeting to see if we might be a good fit. Next, we’ll schedule a site visit and prepare the scope of work. These in-person touchpoints allow us to better understand who you are, your needs, and how we can best support you.

"She took the time to interview us and understand how we lived. When the building process got crazy, she was our “go to” that would get it back on track. Don’t know what we would have done without her creativity, knowledge and guidance!!There are special touches throughout our home. From incorporating special family items, a surprise detail here and there, that make it stand out from other homes. Sarah knew how much I like lighting and sourced some very unique fixtures. The finished product is well thought and you can feel it when you enter a room."
