The project was to design and decorate the whole house. Every room was well thought out. The whole house came together as a perfect finished piece. The designer was very cooperative in getting my input, likes and dislikes. The end product turned out to be one beyond my imagination- a absolutely perfect designed and decorated home which we are looking forward to enjoy. > Thank you for all the hard work, creativity and fun along the way. **★★★★★ — Elise, Jan. 2019** > Maggie did an outstanding job from start to finish! She quickly learned my preferences then magically created a number of options. As someone who admittedly can go into analysis paralysis when faced with too many choices, I greatly appreciate Maggie’s ability to narrow down the scope of options to a manageable size. And I couldn’t be more pleased with how things turned out! My room was transformed from one that was rather blasé to one that is warm, yet chic. The look and feel are precisely what I was looking for. Thank you very much, Maggie! **★★★★★ — HU-965386, Feb. 2016** > Sassafras Designs has been assisting me with my Jamestown, RI property. > They have been instrumental in the garden designs, selection of plants / flowers, > discussions and actual planting. What a transformation of the landscape! The ideas put > forth are done so with enthusiasm, creativity and clarity of the "why" and "when". > What's important to mention is their attention to detail no matter how small it may be and > completion of each job on time (as agreed upon by both parties). > Sassafras has supplied me with the most beautiful and authentic Pottery Vases for the > gardens from France! They went above and beyond by driving them to RI ! > They are perfect! My good fortune for meeting Maggie! I am preparing a 2016 Spring Project list for them to start ASAP!

No Problem!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/no-pool-no-problem-pj-vj~6364490) - Location: Naples, FL - Photos: 44 - Description: Client chose not to build a pool in her South Florida home and found herself with a huge, empty space with little protection from the sun. The goal was to turn this massive space into recreational space for their family to enjoy, to bring the indoors out, while managing seamless flow and views from the front door of the home to the lake on the other side of the covered screen. Credit goes to Juan Roldan and KasaBarBQ of Bonita Spring, FL for coordination and execution of the design/build. - [Home Office Redo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-office-redo-pj-vj~6271244) - Location: Naples, FL - Photos: 6 - Description: Mid Century Modern home office redo with custom bookshelves.

Many home builders try to add "texture" to an otherwise blah space by cutting into walls to detract from perfectly square rooms that create that small box, creating a decorator's nightmare in placing adult sized furniture. Using blue hues and a mixture of mid-century forms with otherwise modern elements, we were able to quickly add warm… - [Spring Dining Room Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spring-dining-room-renovation-pj-vj~1013603) - Location: Newport, RI - Photos: 10 - Description: Nothing says cool and fresh like beautiful, modern tableware from Marie Daage Paris.

One of the first modern designers to combine contrasting designs and colors within a table setting, Marie’s fusion of pattern and color unify her signature style – a melding of stripes, florals and figurati… - [Restoring the Glory of Condominium Living Room in a Turn of the Century Mansion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/restoring-the-glory-of-condominium-living-room-in-a-turn-of-the-century-mansion-pj-vj~1267480) - Location: Newport, RI - Photos: 8 - Description: Melding the modern with the transitional period between the Art Deco and Pre War 1930's eras in a coastal setting in one room was an amazing challenge accomplished with some help from Thomasville's Bogart Luxe collection, found period, signed Degue sconces, cabana stripes on the roman shades to bring back the essence of turn of the century beach houses that Newport was so famous for in the gilded age and modern but clubby furniture for comfort. Pops of color ring through each and every room to a… - [A Lift for a Cozy Cottage Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-lift-for-a-cozy-cottage-garden-pj-vj~1267455) - Location: Newport, RI - Photos: 11 - [Former B&B Becomes a Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/former-bandb-becomes-a-home-pj-vj~1266993) - Location: Newport, RI - Photos: 27 - Description: This was a really fun project restoring an old bed and breakfast formerly known as The Newport House, circa 1900, into a private home for a gentleman and his best friend Marco the cat.

Through a series of before and after photographs, we hope to highlight the breath of work that Sassafras Designs can do in recreating livable spaces that incorporate an owner's lifestyle. - [Not All Screen Doors Are Alike!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/not-all-screen-doors-are-alike-pj-vj~1267052) - Location: Newport, RI - Photos: 2 - Description: As seen adorning beautiful homes on the Cape and Islands, beautiful work from Seaport Shutter in Brewster, MA.

This one was completely taken from an tired version of the 1930's to luxe modern, relying in primary part on the magic of neutral but classic tile and stone. In this one, I focused on an Italian large format porcelain "wave" slate combined with a classic, high quality Cararra marble to carry the day. - [Basement Restored!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-restored-pj-vj~1266950) - Location: Newport, RI - Photos: 9 - Description: This was your classic case of what to do with an illegal apartment in the basement of a newly purchased home to meet the owner's taste in the sporting life and the outdoors! An avid wind surfer, skier and pool player, we took all of the things that she loved, including her father's pool table, and turned it into a gender neutral space for entertaining her friends.

We used the magic of tile to carry out the art deco feel of this high ceilinged space and, rather than even try to insert furniture into a such a small space, we drew in some modernity by creating a breakfast bar crafted from culinary grade stainless steel. With pieces collected from Paris, including a photograph that we took of a street scene that… - [Coastal Decor with an English Flair](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-decor-with-an-english-flair-pj-vj~1266904) - Location: Newport, RI - Photos: 1 - Description: Linen pillows on a white Italian sofa by Cabbages and Roses, London.
