**★★★★★ — vickiehagbom, Dec. 2014**

> I would highly recommend Sandra Bird. She listened to our needs and desires and offered insightful ideas that we would not have thought of ourselves. She respected our budget and timelines. When my husband and I made the decision to stay in our home, it was without question that we would again call Sandra Bird to guide our kitchen update/remodel. We consulted with Sandra 29 years ago and she is delightful to work with. Sandra's subcontractors were excellent and all of her staff so helpful.

**★★★★★ — BlueWaterPictures- Dennis Anderson photographer, Dec. 2014**

> What a creative group of people.  Have been shooting for Sandra for years, and am always delighted to see what she has created.  Dana has gotten her on the digital map so I guess the sky is the limit.
> Always glad to hear from Sandra Bird, Dana and Linda as I know we'll make some magic in the camera picturing her wonderfull interiors.

**★★★★★ — Lynette McLamb, Nov. 2014**

> Excellent, ethical, attention to every detail. Fabulous sense of design, very professional, handled all phases of the project from design to construction. Courteous and hard working staff. Easy to work with. Sandra Bird is an amazing woman, can't say enough good things about her and her company.

**★★★★★ — Naber Tile & Stone, Nov. 2014**

> Sandra Bird Design is a truly amazing design firm. As a contractor that works with Sandra Bird Designs we look for companies that have high standards and attention to detail. We always find this with SBD and it makes for a wonderful working relationship.

**★★★★★ — lynnaug, Nov. 2013**

> I have known Sandra Bird Custom for many years.  Her design work in all realms from Kitchens, to baths, to full house floor plans are always! very creative, practical and extremely creative.   It is a joy and inspiration to see her projects.
> On occasion I have worked on interior color for a few of her projects.

**★★★★★ — bebythebay, Aug. 2013**

> I wanted to have a 'new ' kitchen that did not look new and that utilized as much of the existing cabinetry as possible in order to fit with the rest of the open concept room and also to cut down on unnecessary waste. I wanted to incorporate an AGA stove and an existing mobile island that I loved. Sandra designed the perfect kitchen that reflected me perfectly...the kitchen I would have designed myself if I could, and then added even more wonderful touches, like the random hand-crafted tile backsplash that was inspired by the use of squares in my paintings. She even allowed me to paint the mural on the wall above the stove.
> Everyone involved with the project was not only very professional but also very friendly and nice. I often describe Sandra as having both a head and a heart, and she gathers other people around her who are the same.

**★★★★★ — ianpaigemac, Aug. 2013**

> Sandra Bird Designs is a wonderful one stop shop. They do it all and do it well. Sandra has great design sense, all projects are extremely well coordinated and costs are very clearly communicated - no hidden surprises. It is a pleasure working with them!

**★★★★★ — tafreed, July 2013**

> Sandra redid our kitchen in 2010— Her vast experience was particularly helpful both in design and in the ergonomics of the kitchen, a superb design for ease in use as well aesthetics.  She skillfully maintained some of the design details of prior design which was a Better Homes feature kitchen in 1980.  Workmanship was excellent, on time and very close to budget and all of her crew and staff were a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — nancycarlston, June 2013**

> Attentive to light, balance, and detail, Sandra Bird's work is extraordinary.
>
> Sandra Bird can walk into a space and envision the completed project.  We had very limited space and too many needs, but Sandra found space without sacrificing beautiful design.   It was amazing!  The finished product is gorgeous and a delight to live with, and has everything we needed.
