Dick, May 2024** > Sandy is professional, quick to demonstrate expertise in all areas of home design. She is conscientious in all matters of the process from start to finish. She helped my wife and I with our project. We used her floor plans and suggestions. She is a top notch designer and is reliable. Sandy also understands her client's style and worked with me to determine my taste. **★★★★★ — Carey Novick, Feb. 2018** > We moved into our new home a week after delivering our second child, with that said, I didn't have the time or effort to decorate and make our house a home. We hired Sandy happily and confident she could help us....and she did not disappoint, she exceeded our expectations. I had never worked with a designer before and she listened to what I liked, provided options, and suggested styles and color schemes that I never would have > gravitated towards. Sandy helped with the main rooms in our house; living room, dining room & family room (wall paint colors, carpets, furniture, light fixtures, decorative pillows, curtains, wall hangings, etc)....and we absolutely love spending time at home, especially in the rooms that Sandy decorated! **★★★★★ — Leon Lopes, Feb. 2018** > Sandra was great to work with for staging a brand new home that was vacant and ended up being used as a model home. Her attention to detail was evident from the start. She took care of all of the steps needed from the beginning. The home seller was very pleased. I recommend contacting her for a consultation and then you'll see the benefits. **★★★★★ — R DeTrolio, Feb. 2018** > Sandy is a talented designer who can select just the right items and look that matches your personal style. She takes time to work with you. She has excellent taste and is very honest. ## Selected projects - [Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bedroom-pj-vj~7607653) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [J & B](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/j-and-b-pj-vj~7280655) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/patio-pj-vj~7015209) - Location: Millville, DE - Photos: 3 - Description: Former patio was a small, cement slab.

IF not, where did you purchase the solar material or panels used? **Q: stunning. what color/make are the roof shingles and cedar shngles?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This looks like it's in Duxbury. **Q: Painting a semi-open concept living space** *(in Design Dilemma)* My husband and I just moved into a new home and would like to paint the main living spaces to give it some character. We are unsure how to chose a color scheme though because the kitchen, living room and dining room are all semi connected (please see pictures). We would like to stay in the family of blue, green, grey but are unsure of which walls to paint, etc. Our original plan was to paint the wall with the fireplace (which is also a part of the dining room) a deep blue but think we would like more color then just that wall. We also hate the green in the kitchen and are planning on changing that. We want to avoid painting all the same color but are unsure of how to do that without disrupting the flow. Any ideas? A: Painting walls different colors works when there is a logical break in a wall. If there isn't one, like your living room to dining room wall, then add interest in rugs, furniture, draperies etc. It won't look boring if done correctly. **Q: Is this chandelier too big or hung too low?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Bought his fantastic chandelier, but now I think it is too big or hung too low??? Also, would love suggestions for a centerpiece and adding more color. Thanks A: Yes, the chandelier should be 30-36" above the table. Maybe it looks low because the floral arrangement is high! **Q: What's missing?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hello houzzers, I love gray and may have overdone it. Can you give me ideas on how to pull this space together please?? A: Mark no disrespect meant. They are opinions you are correct, but those opinions may not to give that person the end result he is asking for. If you were having an addition added to your home would you feel more comfortable asking your neighbors advice, or a pro whose knows the ins and outs of that profession? That's the point I am making. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-02.*
