Small announcement! Don't worry, we're not going anywhere. Just feels like a good time to explore other platforms too. So if you happen to be there, give us a follow!
Explorations in wall texture & lighting from a #SantaRosa project that will be wrapping-up soon. I love a good excuse to get lost in the little details up close, and walls are an excellent canvas for this! 🔎 #interiordesign #remodeling #remodel
Pushed this guest bathroom detail just outside of expectations to make a tasteful yet memorable impression. We can't wait to show more of this #SantaRosa project, in the home stretch! More fun details to share later this week. #bathroomdesign #inter
Our travels to Japan have been a treasure trove of inspiration! A standout so far has been the amazing Takenaka Carpentry Museum in Kobe. The design & creative use of materials of the museum (such as using sawdust concrete) brings a lot of ideas

  • “As residential designers for our kitchen and bath remodel, Samuel and his team have skills that cover several disciplines that would otherwise require hiring a separate architect and interior designer. Samuel took stock of the current style of our house and blended designs for a new state-of-the-art kitchen and bath.

  • “Sam was very flexible, respected our suggestions and questions and followed-up with the vendors and contractors to assure perfection in the product. We recommend that you call Sam with your kitchen design questions and get ready for exciting changes to your home and lives.”

    Sandy S.

  • "After months of trying to figure this out on our own, we called SDL. Sam started with three creative and unique vision boards for inspiration. His choices of tile, paint, fixtures, etc were on point. He was bold and balanced. I liked that he pushed us a little out of our comfort zone but was open to suggestions and honest with feedback."

    Monique K.

  • "Sam was a pleasure to work with - he brought great ideas to the project, while considering our needs and budget. He is professional, attentive and has a great sense of design. Sonoma County is a tough place to get permitting, but due to Sam’s diligence, the process went smoothly without a hitch and we were approved with no revisions needed. I would not hesitate to work with Sam in the future."

    Pam B.

  • "Sam has a great vision on how spaces can be enhanced along with thoughtful ideas regarding colors and accessories. He intently listens to your ideas and offers his suggestions, but is respectful of your final decision. In the end we had a great outcome and look forward to many enjoyable days in our reimagined home."
