Alethea took the time to understand our personal needs, style, and budget. Her designs for both projects exceeded our expectations--her clever use of existing space was truly impressive. She has gathered an experienced and talented team focused on quality and getting the job done right. She has a gift for taking a homeowner's vision and making it happen - and personally a pleasure to work with. There will be no need to bid out our next project, when it's time to start, we will be calling Alethea, simple as that. **★★★★★ — mgeorgens, Oct. 2014** > A.

I initially worked with her during a large addition/remodel of our kitchen, dining, screen porch & mudroom. She instinctively understood my style more than any designer I've ever worked with. The project came out even better than I had imagined. I have since hired her for work on smaller design/updating needs I have had. I sincerely trust her ideas and recommendations. **★★★★★ — lindacampbell, July 2014** > Alethea is a master at working within a client's budget and design specifications. When we downsized last year, she helped us take a fresh and updated view of our existing furniture. With a few new pieces added, we have just what we hoped for in our new home. Alethea is flexible regarding how much a client wishes to be involved in the design process. Even to the point of welcoming our attempts to reduce costs by finding and purchasing some fabrics ourselves. She's a delight to work with! **★★★★★ — willowrose1, July 2014** > A. Sadowski Designs helped us with our interior design during our major house remodel (kitchen, living room, laundry, mudroom and master bathroom) along with cabinet elevation designs. We are very happy with the process and the results. Alethea and team did a great job determining what our "style" was and bringing selections to us that fit that (along with suggesting things we would not have typically thought of that actually worked great in the space). While she was very busy, Alethea was very responsive to emails and was available when needed. We are super pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this company to others! **★★★★★ — cwestmeyer, May 2014** > August 2013 to current-Main Floor updating project for our house including: > 1\) Hardwood floor-selected floor stain and coordination of work; > 2\) Selected paint and coordinated painting of: Family room, front&back halls, up&down back staircase, up front staircase, sunroom, kitchen and eating area; > 3\) Selected and coordinated tile work in sunroom; > 4\) Selected and ordered 2 sets of pocket doors in sunroom; > 5\) Selected and ordered all kitchen drawer/cabinet hardware; > 6\) Selected and ordered kitchen table, chairs and counter stools (including selection of counter stool upholstery); > 7\) Selected and ordered family room and eating area light fixtures; > 8\) Selected fabric and coordinating design and implementation for: Family > Room window treatment, FR upholstery pieces and accessory selection; > 9\) Staging Family Room, Living Room and Dining Room which included furniture placement, picture placement, accessory selection/placement. > 10\) Designed the solution to solve a front entry/living room design problem. ## Selected projects -
