To my eye, her work was consistently inspiring and creative, from designing large elegant spaces, to tackling tough remodels that turned out beautifully. > > And beyond her talent as a designer, I observed that she enjoys very warm, close relationships with her clients. When we arrived at each client's home, it was as if the homeowners were welcoming back a beloved member of their family. I personally found her to be a real pleasure to work with, and I hope to photograph more of her beautiful work in the future. **★★★★★ — Brett Cooley, Aug. 2017** > Suzanne is an amazing designer with an incredible eye for interesting and innovative ideas. I would highly recommend her to anybody interested in remodeling their home or business looking for a creative and inspirational designer. **Comment from Suzanne Knowlton Designs:** > Thank you Brett for those wonderful remarks. I can only say that I feel the same way about you! You have really grown into a talented designer and you have so much ahead. Plus, you are such a great listener. You always make your work about the customer.. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again! **★★★★★ — Kelcey Hollis, Aug. 2017** > Love Suzanne Knowlton! > Her attention to detail is unsurpassed. She works super closely with her clients to ensure that she captures her clients wishes and needs. All fabrications and installations are top notch, keeping up with the trends, but not being dictated by them. Her love of textiles is evident in every project she touches, creating warm, classy environments that are all as beautiful as they are livable. She goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy and satisfied with the design, always choosing the perfect accents and details to complete a unique project that fits the image that her client envisions. **★★★★★ — Brian McCloud Photography, Aug. 2017** > I have photographed many designer homes however I was immediately impressed by Suzanne's style. Beautifully done contemporary design, with homage to the glamorous classics and eclectic pops of color that really worked. There is definitely magic and balance in every room. **★★★★★ — SandS Properties, June 2017** > Suzanne was was great with the clients and a pleasure for us to work with as builders. Her design choices were perfect for the project and the clients are very happy with the results. **Comment from Suzanne Knowlton Designs:** > Thank you Arron. I have enjoyed working with you and think you are one of the best builders I've seen. **★★★★★ — Karen Walker, June 2017** > I wasn't sure how to design the entrance to our house, and was leery about getting help. But after I met and talked to Suzanne, I was sure this was the person for me. She listened to me and talked about several approaches we could take. It was so easy to get a great result in a very short period of time. **Comment from Suzanne Knowlton Designs:** > I'll never forget going over to your house when you were away with Adrian. We installed that front entrance in record time! And, you and I became friends, which was the best part. How could I be so fortunate? **★★★★★ — lisalhogen, April 2017** > Suzanne is a brilliant designer who works to elevate and amplify her client's style. As a new home owner I wanted to be sure our space reflected our personality as a family, and Suzanne has made that dream a reality. She provided just enough options to be sure the process wasn't overwhelming, and she went above and beyond to be sure our family was satisfied with the final project. She is absolutely wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — bonzorhb, May 2016** > Suzanne was a huge help for me settling into my new home in Bend Or. Getting the correct measurements in the living and dining areas and then finding the perfect fit, size and colors made my move streamlined and took the difficult task of furnishing a new space fun. > I love all of it! > Thank you Suzanne! **★★★★★ — Valerie Woods, May 2016** > I contacted Suzanne right after we had decided to buy our Sonoma home. I needed help on color choices and also furnishing an entire house from scratch. Suzanne is wonderful to work with. She really listens and works very hard to stay within a budget. She then adds fabulous ideas to create beautiful results. > We highly recommend her! We couldn't be happier! **★★★★★ — bessh, Sept. 2015** > Suzanne made us see the potential of our backyard. She had ideas for turning an eyesore (an ugly shed) into an asset, by moving it and making it work for us. She understands our needs and wants for the space and got us excited by a project we saw as drudgery. She has great knowledge of plants and a beautiful sense of color and text. We'd like her to work with us on some interior projects after we do the landscaping. **Comment from Suzanne Knowlton Designs:** > Thank you for those kind words. I hope I we will se your yard turn into an oasis of peace. I am losing sleep thinking about all the possibilities. Xoxox **★★★★★ — anna mariani, April 2015** > So Happy to have met Suzanne Knowlton. We built our dream-house in Sonoma county and wanted to create a sophisticated wine country home. Suzanne did layouts of the downstairs, made color suggestions, and basically instigated an incredible look to our new home. She listens and is extremely easy to work with! We shopped together for furniture and found all sorts of interesting pieces on line and on sale. This woman loves to shop and has an excellent eye for quality. And, she always kept my budget in mind. We had so much fun together, that I asked her to help us with a floating home in Sausalito, which was undergoing a complete remodel. She helped with decisions from the ground-floor up. She came up with a bright, clean, comfortable maritime look. We now get many compliments, and enjoy our weekends on the waterfront. Suzanne has the energy to take on whatever comes her way, from a complete remodel to furniture, cabinets and fixtures. She is the BEST!! **★★★★★ — Joyce Olson, April 2015** > We met Suzanne when our family stayed at her guesthouse in Sonoma for our family vacation. Her guesthouse is a mix of beautiful and elegant styles that all worked together to make an exceptional wine country experience. We were just starting to make some big changes to our home in Glendale, CA and we needed someone who saw things the way we did. We have modern tastes but had a traditional home. We wanted to mix the two styles together but still maintain warmth and comfort. Suzanne did layouts and made suggestions on the first meeting that were very helpful. We shopped together and made some incredible antique purchases that will stay in our family forever. Suzanne also made custom pieces to fit our living areas and color scheme. She did color boards and made suggestions and helped me to gain confidence in my own choices! It was a wonderful experience! I would recommend her to anyone who wants a mature, well-rounded designer who's in the business because she enjoys helping people reach their goals. **Comment from Suzanne Knowlton Designs:** > Joyce, I love you for that wonderful message. Good luck with puppies! Hope to see you soon and progress on the new garden. ## Selected projects - [Country Living designed for entertaining family and friends](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-living-designed-for-entertaining-family-and-friends-pj-vj~2934630) - Location: Sonoma, CA - Photos: 7 - Description: A large Mediterranean home under the oaks in Sonoma County gets a modern, comfortable upgrade. - [Mid Century Love in San Francisco](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-love-in-san-francisco-pj-vj~2935064) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 7 - [Sebastopol Farm House Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sebastopol-farm-house-kitchen-pj-vj~2667319) - Location: Sebastopol, CA - Photos: 3 - [Sebastopol Farm House Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sebastopol-farm-house-exterior-pj-vj~845069) - Location: Sebastopol, CA - Photos: 13 - Description: This is an examaple of a 1920’s Greek Revival Farmhouse.

Updated, in the style of "inside-out", this farmhouse was designed for those who love living outdoors in stunning Sonoma County wine country.

I mixed the paint from a BM Spring Green. Toned it down just a touch. The trim is avocado. I like having the three colors. At first it looked a bit 'done up' but everyone loves it so much because it is really happy. **Q: what backsplash did you use.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello Eglins, I am sorry for my slow response! Been traveling and have now touched down again. The back spash and the counters next to the stove are all lagos azul marble. I believe the tile came from Walker Zanger in San Francisco and the counter pieces were found down south where we picked up the thick pieces of marble slabs. Hope this helps! **Q: Love your house!** *(in Photo Questions)* Will you share who is the manufacturer of these doors? A: thank you. Good to know someone on this coast **Q: exterior paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* I was wondering what the name of the exterior paint color is and brand name. A: Benjamin Moore - I believe it was Alaskan Skies with Slate trim on the windows. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-26.*
