After her initial visit and listening to our needs, she brought samples and suggestions that were right in line with what we were hoping for but didn't know how to pull together ourselves. We are thrilled with the work done so far. She is very easy to work with, respects her customer's budget and is qualified in all areas of interior design. We would highly recommend her to anyone! **Comment from Abington Interiors:** > It has been a joy working with you to update your home! **★★★★★ — Christine, July 2021** > We feel extremely fortunate to have found Sharon! We recently moved to a new home and our furniture didn’t work well in the new spaces. When she first came to our house, I decided to start with just asking her about window treatments for my master bedroom and furniture for our living room. > > Sharon took the time to understand our style and our objectives. She immediately had great ideas on what would work best in the space given our traditional taste, but desire for some elegance. She was never pushy and I felt I could object to any ideas she had and that she was glad I gave my opinion. After Sharon’s home visit, she created a printed out floor plan that showed how all the pieces we chose would look in the living room— this was very helpful to me since I’m not great at visualizing how it would all come together. > > We were so happy with how the living room came together that we asked Sharon for help with 4 other rooms- our kitchen, dining, library, and media room! We have also asked Sharon to help us with converting our third floor to a fun family game and movie space. > > Sharon has had great ideas on maximizing the space as well as making it beautiful and functional. We have spent over 14 months working on all these projects and have been very impressed with Sharon’s broad design expertise, ability to understand our style, and ability to find us great furnishings that have made our house a place we are proud of and enjoy. **★★★★★ — Lisa Southern Property Management, Feb. 2020** > Sharon Gatt with Ethan Allen Cary NC has been amazing to work with! I've really enjoyed working with her as she has gotten to know me, my family and my style. She transformed my new house into a home. She took the time to help me decide how my family would live in the space and designed the perfect furniture floor plan, help me select beautiful and livable fabrics for the furniture pieces and drapery, transformed the space with lighting, paint colors, art work and decor pieces! I would recommend her to all clients, but especially ones like me, unsure of my decorating style and needed guidance to obtain that WOW look for my home! **Comment from Abington Interiors:** > I have enjoyed every moment working with you and your family! **★★★★★ — Steven Hodnett, Dec. 2019** > I recently worked with Sharon designing my living space in an apartment and she did an amazing job. I gave her a challenge with the space being large but narrow and she made it feel cozy and warm. She took the time to see all my inspiration photos and to listen to my explanations of what I wanted and brought it to life. The pieces we picked are beautiful and will be amazing in my space. Sharon has a warm laugh, a great sense of humor, and an amazing eye for design. I look forward to working with her on future projects and can not recommend more highly. **Comment from Abington Interiors:** > Steven, > It’s a pleasure to work with you... I am excited to see it all come together! > Sharon **★★★★★ — Vidya A, Aug. 2019** > What an amazing experience we had with Sharon Gatt while designing my new home. Sharon took the time to know us, our style and helped us transform our new home with high-quality elegant furniture. She guided us through the process of choosing the furniture, and fabrics that were ideal for our home. She went above and beyond, came to our house for measurements, aligned our pieces of furniture on delivery and offered us many valuable suggestions for decorating the house. We truly enjoyed working with Sharon and always felt she understood our need and would come up with a plan to execute what we wanted without pressuring us. We will be working with Sharon in the future as well as we believe she will be able to take us forward in our design goals!! **★★★★★ — Rebecca York, July 2019** > Sharon is very professional...she asks questions and makes suggestions based on your answers. She responds quickly. > She keeps excellent records and can pickup where we left off even if it’s been along time since we had contact. **★★★★★ — Mary Stylski, July 2019** > great help with color choice > drove to my home when electrian was hanging a fixture to make sure it was hung at the correct > height > very personal service **★★★★★ — Bobby Glisson, July 2019** > Sharon is an outstanding interior design professional who takes the time to show you different options,styles and colors that will give your room the look that you want. We just love our new furniture and accessories for our family room that Sharon recommended and look forward to using her expertise in the future when we are ready to create an updated and fresh look for another room in our home. **★★★★★ — Mary Christine McGahan, July 2019** > Sharon Gatt is the consummate professional and is extremely nice to work with. We are redecorating our entire house and she has been absolutely correct in all of her guidance to me. She is extremely knowledgeable about materials used, measurements, placement of furniture, drapery, etc, etc. I'm very pleased with everything done so far, my house is looking great. OUTSTANDING! **★★★★★ — Sheila Gregory, June 2018** > My experience with Sharon was excellent! She worked with me for six months and was extremely helpful in updating existing furnishings with new products from Ethan Allen. I love the new look of my home and cannot say enough about how talented Sharon is! She has an eye for design and goes beyond what is expected in helping you achieve the look you want for your home. **★★★★★ — S Hariharan, Jan. 2018** > Sharon has helped me over the last several months in furnishing my new home. I have thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with her. She is a consummate professional. She always went beyond the call of duty in ensuring that my home was perfectly furnished. I cannot say enough good things about Sharon. I have been impressed at the creative designs. Sharon – Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for me! **★★★★★ — Jill Kunkle, Jan. 2018** > Where to begin....? My husband and I first met Sharon about 14 years ago when she had her own design studio in Hershey, PA. We had just begun to build a house; the framing hadn't even begun and we knew we needed professional help (in more ways than one). We talked to a couple of designers (yes, there's a difference between a designer and a decorator), and we knew without a doubt that Sharon was the only one to consider. Professional, experienced, creative, style, class, sophistication; she has it all. She'll listen to you and gather all the information she needs to deliver what YOU want your home to look like. My husband and I recognize that we are completely clueless and utterly without any decorating abilities. Sharon is exactly what we needed. She is not wishy washy, and if needed will diplomatically guide you away from a bad choice or decision with an explanation as to why. (Ahhhh, we see the light!) > > Fast forward 14 years and we have built another house. This time we did it on our own using what we had learned from Sharon. However, when it came to new furniture and window treatments....I repeat, NO ability. Knowing Sharon had moved away, we tried working with a designer from a local "higher-end" furniture store. Long story short, we call it the great furniture debacle. We were able to send it all back even though some of it was fabric-customized. Let's call the style "Early Ugly". Now what?? > > Sharon to the rescue! I called Sharon and asked if she knew of anyone good in our area. I had looked on line at some designers' work, and I found it all very sad, if not frightening! She told me she had done some long-distance work with her other previous Hershey clients. Today's technology makes it all possible. My husband (affectionately known as Mr. Particular) flew Sharon up to PA and put her up in a nearby hotel for 2 nights with a car rental. (No worries, you don't need to do this if you don't live near her.) We spent two intense days (complete with an hour by hour itinerary of what we were doing when) choosing everything from furniture, to fabrics to paint colors. With all her gathered intel, she was then able to make recommendations on the fine details of lighting, art, florals, etc. > > Our home is BEAUTIFUL, exactly what we wanted and it is magazine-worthy. Now it's time for you to contact her! ## Selected projects - [Elegant Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~6772186) - Location: Cary, NC - Photos: 19 - Description: This project is designed for busy active family with performance fabrics for easy care.
