It is a pleasure to work with her because she is extremely organized, very specific and totally clear in what she wants for her clients. **★★★★★ — RT Facts, Jan. 2014** > We have worked with Sue on several projects in Litchfield County.

Their attention to detail and awareness of their clients needs is pristine. I look forward to working together on future projects! **★★★★★ — Plantation Design Santa Monica, Nov. 2013** > It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation of Sue Bednar and her staff at SB Long Interiors. I have worked with Sue now for well over 12 years as a resource for many of her design projects. Her taste level is incredibly fresh and edgy but with classic influences that allow many of her clients to live with her design esthetic for many happy years. Sue and her staff at SB Long are incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and quick to get the job done. Look to SB Long for their impeccable professionalism and most importantly and beautifully appointed home. **★★★★★ — sfineman, Nov. 2013** > Sue has been professional, prepared, thorough, responsive, and good natured, while designing and delivering wonderful spaces in our home. Sue has included us meaningfully in the process of redecorating our home -- having us select magazine photos to demonstrate our preferences, to discussing our vision for our rooms. Sue picture-boarded each room in detail, allowing for changes as necessary. Sue was responsive to our wishes, but was creative and decisive in leading the project. Sue managed the project effectively and efficiently, working direclty with the contractor. Sue has followed up on the smallest of details. And, she continues to supervise the ongoing aspects of the project. We can't say enough good things about the experience. **★★★★★ — NY Custom Furnishings, Nov. 2013** > I have been working with Sue for almost 15 years. S. B. Long Interiors is a pleasure to work with. Sue and her staff are very organized and detail oriented. They have an excellent understanding of custom furnishings. **★★★★★ — amandarace, Nov. 2013** > I had the great pleasure of working with Sue and her highly professional design team on several Greenwich, CT residential projects. As a fellow design professional, I developed a great respect for Sue's collaborative ethos and ability to sculpt her clients' sensibilities into the most elegant, thoughtful interiors. > > Sue is also a highly disciplined project manager, which is a rare and invaluable quality in our industry. It's not surprising that her firm has enjoyed tremendous loyalty among her clients and vendors. I look forward to our next collaboration. ## Selected projects - [Preston Hollow Contemporary Craftsman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/preston-hollow-contemporary-craftsman-pj-vj~5859644) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 16 - Description: This sprawling modern Craftsman was renovated to update all interior room - including a facelift of the kitchen, and complete renovation of 4 bathrooms. Its a fun modern mix - combining the contemporary Craftsman esthetic with 20th Century modern furniture, and western and anion accents. The architecture and the clients’ collections and interests were driving force behind the design. These elements give it a distinctively different feeling for Dallas. Its originally dark and dated interiors were… - [Highland Park Modern Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-modern-home-pj-vj~2537422) - Location: Highland Park, TX - Photos: 13 - Description: To warm up this white-box modern house, I used the client's eclectic mix of art alongside grey-tones, greens and berry shades. The house is suited for entertaining with an entry courtyard, a statement wet bar and a light-filled living room with plenty of conversation-starting accents and comfortable seating. - [Georgian Stone Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/georgian-stone-estate-pj-vj~199008) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: A bold, gallery-like space, with a focus on dark-and-light contrasts, was the goal for this 9000-square-foot Georgian colonial. The homeowners wanted tailored, well-designed rooms with a look that was elegant and contemporary, without feeling cold. I used a subdued color palette in grays, camels, and deep blues, along with contemporary furnishing to convey relaxed intimacy throughout the home. To incorporate the family’s art collection, I placed pieces strategically throughout and designed a gal… - [Formal Round Hill Compound](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/formal-round-hill-compound-pj-vj~198814) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - Description: Classic and modern meet seamlessly in the interiors of this Georgian colonial. Because the owners prefer cozy rooms with lots of layering, I used a variety of textures—from grass cloth to silk—to add depth to each space and appointed each room, down to books and artwork. I chose to feature contemporary artworks, modern fixtures, and tailored upholstery details throughout to counteract the classicism of many of the European-sourced antiques. A client directive was to incorporate the steely blue c… - [Shingled Colonial Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shingled-colonial-home-pj-vj~464010) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - Description: Classic and modern describes the interiors of this family home. I used a variety of colors, patterns and textures to add depth and interest to each space and finished it off with a mixture of contemporary painting and fine art photography. The light fixtures are fun and modern and compliment the distinctive color palettes. This home features exciting ceiling and floor details such as crocodile porcelain tiles in the Sunroom. Metallic croc ceilings in the Butler’s Pantry, chevron patterned floors… - [Modern Traditional Georgian Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-traditional-georgian-estate-pj-vj~465145) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: This beautiful spacious home sits along the Connecticut coastline in Greenwich. I wanted to give this home a cozy, yet sophisticated vibe mixing neutral hues like cream and camel with different shades of blue. With the same color palette reoccurring throughout, we've blended tailored rooms like his Office with fresh statements like our complete Kitchen re-design. - [Classic Country Pied-a-terre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-country-pied-a-terre-pj-vj~464270) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: This home has the classic east coast casual sophistication with its crisp cream and blue interior furnishings and accents of warm woods. This traditional home features exquisite millwork throughout - custom hand hewn wide plank floors and distressed wood beamed ceilings in the Kitchen. An open floor plan on each level allows for relaxed entertaining. The lower level has a men’s club feeling complete with a full bar, billiards, wine room and lounge that opens onto the back patio. - [Mountain Ski Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-ski-retreat-pj-vj~190873) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: The owners of this two-story summer home wanted an unusual mountain retreat that would blend European elegance with rustic western materials, reflecting the surrounding Utah mountains. (The inspiration for this interior was, in fact, the home in "A River Runs Through It"). To that end, I married formal English aesthetic and textured mountain style, using materials—such as plaid—specific to both looks to tie it all together. I wanted the home to feel Western without looking obvious. I like to use… - [Historic Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-farmhouse-pj-vj~366705) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: I renovated this rambling weekend home to maximize entertaining and family time. The wet bar was added in a narrow hallway between the dining and living rooms and uses fieldstone found on the property as its backsplash. Rusty red, brown and blues are accents throughout the spaces. My goal was to keep the home casual, but also add a modern twist to the country architecture. - [Modern Yacht](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-yacht-pj-vj~1678698) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Country Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-estate-pj-vj~198982) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: A sense of fun and carefree charm help define this country home, which demonstrates my love of blending modern and traditional. As a counterbalance to the owner’s Manhattan residence—which is quite urban and includes a lot of gray—we peppered bright colors and bold patterns throughout this weekend retreat. The colors, like muted lavender and coral, were carefully chosen to be energetic while maintain an elegance and sophistication as a backdrop to the modern light fixtures and crisp furniture si… - [Georgian Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/georgian-estate-pj-vj~198897) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: Although this Georgian colonial’s architecture is traditional, I took a much more modern approach to the interiors. The owners, who had just returning from living abroad, said they were having a “gray moment” and asked that the interiors reflect that. A neutral color scheme, in shades of gray from charcoal to soft creams, help achieve this, along with the use of sleek finishes and furniture. To reflect the owner’s European sensibility, I accented the rooms with dark wood finishes and luxe fabric… - [Sophisticated Country House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sophisticated-country-house-pj-vj~366720) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: The original farmhouse dates to 1800’s and has been added to over time. I recently renovated the kitchen to maximize light and the Master Suite to add a luxurious master bath. I have maintained the farmhouse feeling with rustic dark beams and wide random plank floors. The interior furnishings are a mix of modern and traditional curated finds amongst rich, neutral textured fabrics. Accents of blue-grey are found throughout the house in throw pillows, painted passage doors, and artwork. Also, my l… - [Oceania Cruises Owner's Suites](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oceania-cruises-owner-s-suites-pj-vj~198923) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: For the 2000+ square foot Owner’s Suites on Oceania’s Riviera cruise ship, I designed each apartment to look like luxurious Manhattan pied-à-terres, rather than traditional staterooms. Custom mahogany millwork, marble floors, and sumptuous Ralph Lauren fabrics and furniture evoke a feeling of warm elegance. These suites—along with those that I designed on Oceania’s Marina cruise ship—are the first ever to be appointed exclusively in Ralph Lauren furniture, fabrics, and lighting. If it weren’t fo… - [Modern Mediterranean Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-mediterranean-home-pj-vj~5859759) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 13 - Description: House was remodeled inside to update the dark, dated finishes and add a more classic Spanish feeling to the main living areas. Working closely with the builder, we designed and specified materials for the remodel of 5 bathrooms and the Kithchen. In addition, we designed and decorated all rooms specific to the Client. They wanted a bright, clean Mediterranean style for the interior spaces.
