**★★★★★ — Jennifer Charles, Aug. 2017**

> I've had the pleasure of working with Sarah at Lady with a Toolbox on many home projects.  She's helped me redecorate our living room, kitchen, sunroom, bedroom and completely gut our master bathroom.  Sarah has a keen eye for design and is outstanding at suggesting paint colors.  She also has many contacts and resources available to her.  When we need to do something in our home, she is our go to person.   I highly recommend Lady with a Toolbox, you won't be disappointed!!!

**★★★★★ — Jenny Huizenga, Aug. 2017**

> We are so grateful for having had Sarah to help us with a remodel of the majority of the first floor of our house...great room, kitchen, dining room, office, powder room and foyer.  The transformation has been remarkable.  Sarah has a gift for listening to and honoring our thoughts and ideas.  We have loved everything she has suggested and done, and we have come to trust her completely.  We have very much enjoyed working with Sarah and definitely intend to use her on future projects.

**★★★★★ — Mary Beth Duggan, July 2017**

> Sarah is now doing our 3rd project and we couldn't recommend her highly enough!  She has decorated our living room, remodeled our powder room and is now doing the same with our kitchen.  Unfortunately budget is always a concern, but that doesn't stop her from decorating and renovating with her usual beautiful taste.  In fact, thats one of the best things about her, she listens and because of her industry knowledge has always stayed within the price we allotted for the project.  She is our "go to person" whenever we are doing anything, big or small, with our home.  Her professionalism and ability to stay on deadline makes her indispensable!  Looking forward to future projects with Sarah.

**★★★★★ — Karol Hitt, July 2017**

> I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah on my first floor remodel.  The project involved Painting kitchen cabinets, and all walls and included new window treatments, refinished floors and furniture.  Sarah stuck to our original plan, but as I saw the results the project expanded.  Sarah calls it "creeping elegance"  I called it stunning!  Every professional she subcontracted to did a terrific job.  I would highly recommend her for your next project.

**★★★★★ — mjb1113, June 2017**

> The owner, Sarah, most recently helped us redecorate the upstairs of our home, including master, kids' and guest bedrooms. She is great to work with--creative, practical and organized. Would definitely recommend!

**★★★★★ — Kristyn Harrell, Jan. 2017**

> We hired Lady with a Toolbox to renovate our basement and basement bathroom.  Sarah and her team were extremely professional and easy to work with throughout the process. Sarah is a great designer and really gets to know her clients tastes and preferences. She has high standards and attention to detail  which is reflected in the quality of the work product.  I highly recommend Lady with a Toolbox for any project, big or small.

  - Description: We started from scratch with this full basement finish including a bedroom, bathroom, workout room, rec room and home bar. The project included adding egress windows as well. It is approximately 1700 square feet of additional living perfect for entertaining guests year-round but especially during the cold Wisconsin months! The decor mixes "her" farmhouse style with "his" rustic industrial and together adds up to a cozy space that doesn't feel like a basement.

  - Description: Working with existing cabinets and granite, we were able to refresh the kitchen with sage green cabinets to coordinate with existing painted woodwork and granite, update the lighting and add backsplash and window treatments. The dining room got a fresh coat of dramatic gray paint, Burberry-inspired drapes, hand-painted reclaimed antique buffet and new lighting. We added a little sparkle to the foyer with a silver shimmer faux grasscloth wallpaper above the chair rail, new lighting, furniture and…
