She understood our vision and taste, and helped execute it while staying within our budget. She has an amazing architectural/spacial understanding and was crucial in the design stages of our home as well. She has a wonderful personality and work ethic which made it even more enjoyable to work with her! **Comment from Sarah Carr Design:** > Love this picture! Thanks for your kind words. I'm sad the project is over - we had so much fun!!!! **★★★★★ — The Scarab, Jan. 2015** > We have enjoyed working with Sarah Carr Design for many years. Sarah is very professional, thoughtful and thorough when it comes to taking care of her clients. Sarah is blessed with a super sense for color and loves to take care of the details. With an amazing eye for design, her talent and skills combined makes Sarah Carr an all around delight to work with. **★★★★★ — lisag22, Sept. 2014** > Working with Sarah was a PLEASANT experience. In a profession where one must listen to two people's taste and transform it into a room of their dreams…she has the talent and the ability to make it painless, and even fun. > We love the transformation of our remodel. Her attention to details, her creativity in mixing our things with newly purchased items, and the confidence that she instills that all will turn out for the best (and it really did) only makes us recommend her VERY HIGHLY. **★★★★★ — smichonski, Sept. 2014** > Sarah brings both design and architectural expertise to the table. She understands and works within the design preferences of the customer, following budgets and spending limits while using quality products and expert craftsmen. We have been very pleased with the results of her work! **★★★★★ — karonkool, Nov. 2013** > Sarah assisted us with a complete remodel of our home at the Borders Lodge in Beaver Creek, CO. > Sarah's ability to navigate us through all phases of the project was invaluable.

At inception, she was intentional about understanding my needs and wants. She then took the concepts I laid out (magazine clippings, drawings) and implemented several possible solutions. She was extremely patient and flexible which allowed for a great experience. The final product is a beautiful home that receives regular praises!! **★★★★★ — Jay Diamond, Nov. 2013** > To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this letter in an effort to convey the absolute level of commitment and professionalism that Sarah Carr displayed during the design, construction, and furnishing of my new home in Cordillera Colorado. > > This project began with a small amount of apprehension due to the distance between everyone involved. I am in New York NY; my family is in Oklahoma City OK; the contractor is from Edwards CO; and the site, which is in Cordillera. These fears were quickly squashed by Sarah’s work ethic, communication, and desire to be a part of a great experience for us all. Not only was Sarah able to bring a fresh design approach to the project, she quite simply was able to ease the fear of a long distance project of this nature. > > From the onset of the project, Sarah exhibited a level of creativity and imagination balanced by her level of professionalism and business acumen. She simply does what she says she is going to do; therefore, a project of this nature has truly been a pleasure to experience. > > I simply cannot say enough positive remarks about what she brings to the table. All of the hard work Sarah has put into making our home something that will bring years of happiness to all of our family can’t be measured. I hope and expect that her design wisdom will bring the same too many others. **★★★★★ — dt2315, Nov. 2013** > I was the Vice President of Development on a very complex mixed use mountain resort project in Vail, Colorado where Sarah Carr played a leading role on the interior design of the public spaces. The project involved a large team of top-tier professionals who were challenged by the site, the logistics, the quality expectations and the pace of design. Sarah worked tirelessly to ensure that communication was seamless and professional. More importantly for her role, Sarah's design was beautiful. She is in a select class of design professionals who get complements for the quality of her design along with accolades for her teamwork, professionalism and attitude. **★★★★★ — amandajenkins, Nov. 2013** > Sarah Carr is AMAZING in every way!!! We selected Sarah based on her personality and her talent. We are the highest-maintenance-clients-ever and she attended to our every need with energy and respect. I cut out pages upon pages of magazine pictures of style and furniture I loved and now my ski home looks exactly how I wanted!! It's a HAVEN of style. My entire family wants to move to our second home and abandon our full-time home because Sarah has done such a phenomenal job!! The details Sarah included are amazing. She put up two entire walls of family pictures for us---using all of my photographs of my kids---and time after time we have people who stay with us comment on how much that adds to our home. She never got frustrated with us, not once--she guided us and led us well....and spent ENORMOUS time with us!!! We would not only trust her with another project, she would be our first choice every time!!!!! **★★★★★ — Paul M. Donoho, Architect, Nov. 2013** > I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah for decades now and I can say without hesitation that she is the epitome of the word professional. Her impeccable overall visions combine a rare and valued attention to detail resulting consistently in the highest quality of work. The beauty of her designs are obvious but you will be hard pressed to find someone more dedicated and capable to handling the intense challenges of the construction process to ensure the success of your projects. ## Selected projects - [Industrial Ranch House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/industrial-ranch-house-pj-vj~6169835) - Location: Eagle, CO - Photos: 10 - [Deighan Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deighan-home-pj-vj~6162142) - Location: Eagle-Vail, CO - Photos: 30 - [City Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/city-penthouse-pj-vj~5061263) - Location: Denver, CO - Photos: 15 - [Mountain Star Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-star-custom-home-pj-vj~2794551) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 34 - [Vail Valley Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vail-valley-home-pj-vj~2498236) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Mountain Star](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-star-pj-vj~787651) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Cordillera](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cordillera-pj-vj~368753) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Nichols Hills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nichols-hills-pj-vj~368870) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Bachelor Gulch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bachelor-gulch-pj-vj~368795) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/sarah-carr-design-pfvwus-pf~2013323379) ## Ideabooks - [Media Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20183334/list/media-rooms) — 3 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/sarahcarr00) ## Community Q&A **Q: What height is the TV at?** *(in Photo Questions)* We’re trying to figure out how to mount a TV over a fireplace without having to look up to see it, thanks.
