**★★★★★ — Christine, Aug. 2017**

> We used Sheep + Stone for interior design in our new home in LA. Even though Sheena was based across the country, our experience - from beginning to end - was easy, fun, and creative. We found Sheena to be extremely responsive, thoughtful in her choices, and listened with a sound ear to our specifications - all with a positive attitude. It's clear this business is a passion and one Sheena is truly talented at. We love the look and feel of the finished project. With a young family we strived for a clean, attractive look but also one that we could easily make home with 3 young children. We are completely thrilled with what was achieved and highly recommend Sheena to anyone who is considering working with Sheep + Stone.

**★★★★★ — Lindsey Branca, Aug. 2017**

> I hired Sheep + Stone for an interior design project for a condo we purchased in Brooklyn, New York. Sheena and her team not only have an outstanding eye for design, but are incredibly professional, organized, budget-conscience, hardworking, and honest. They routinely go beyond their scope to ensure the project is successful, and the client is happy. I have worked with a number of interior designers on a variety of projects (I work in real estate by profession), and I have never been so impressed by a company as I have been with Sheep + Stone. I have known Sheena and her team now for almost two years, and with each new project we begin together I become more impressed with their work.. It can often be difficult to find an interior design company that has great design skills and is also business-minded and well-managed, but Sheena and her team at Sheep + Stone encompass all of these skills. I could not recommend them highly enough.

**★★★★★ — sethwes, Oct. 2014**

> After countless hours walking into the same furniture stores over and over to "finish" our apartment we knew we needed help.  We worried an interior designer would only want a huge or expensive project or a client who would turn over their keys and control---these concerns were erased from our very first  meeting with Sheena Murphy at Sheep + Stone.  From calculating a budget, to design schemes, to shopping Sheena's guidance, patience, and understanding have been invaluable.   She listens carefully and responds efficiently to any questions or concerns.  Her patience and perseverance in searching out exactly what we were looking for (and always with the costs in mind) never wavers.  Sheena sources from both "traditional" shops (Room & Board, Design Within Reach) and from unique artisans and antique vendors to create a distinct and affordable design scheme.  She has demonstrated a keen  eye for color, feel for texture, and ability to mix high and low. On top of all this Sheena is a lot of fun to be around and we always look forward to the next consultation or shopping trip.  I would highly recommend Sheep + Stone and particularly for "first time" clients who may be apprehensive about working with a designer.

**★★★★★ — Tina Holton, Sept. 2014**

> We worked with Sheep + Stone as part of a renovation for our 1920's London home; Sheena and her team provided strong architectural guidance and worked harmoniously with our contractors. They successfully turned our tired, dated house into a fresh modern home which we will enjoy for years to come.
>
> Sheena is extremely creative, and has an incredible ability to really get under the skin of her clients' needs and tastes. She sourced responsibly, from a really great variety of vendors, and completed the work on time, and on budget.

**★★★★★ — Joshua Huddleston, Sept. 2014**

> We have worked with Sheena on 3 projects this year and highly recommend Sheena for (1) design planning, (2) layouts / floorplans, (3) luxury concrete & modern designs. The jobs were in Costa Rica and San Diego; Sheena was able to work effectively remotely.
>
> Sheena is very organized and thorough in her thought process. We really appreciated her go-getter attitude and quick/resolution-based decision making.  It was a breath of fresh air to receive insightful answers that let me know she understood the projects. Also, it was very helpful that she understood the process for working with and interconnectedness between architect and designer; this allowed us to focus on our jobs while she worked on layout and conceptual designs.
>
> We highly recommend Sheena for above services.

**★★★★★ — Jenny Callentine, Sept. 2014**

> I recently had the pleasure to have Sheena, of Sheep and Stone, help style my new working showroom. I really cannot recommend Sheena enough. Anyone who has ever had to set up or re-invision their space knows how stressful the process can become. Sheena’s keen eye for what would look good, her kind nature, and her ability to still maintain function within the space, immediately put me at ease. In a short amount of time & with just a few simple changes, she was able to help transform my small and cluttered studio, into a cohesive and beautiful showroom. .

**★★★★★ — patrickmoberg, Sept. 2014**

> Very thoughtful and thorough during the entire duration of the project.  Couldn't be more happy with the outcome. Absolute pleasure.

**★★★★★ — awr80, Sept. 2014**

> Sheep + Stone is a fantastic interior design firm!
> Sheena Murphy has impeccable taste and is a joy to work with.
> I  would highly recommend Sheep + Stone for any of your interior design needs.

## Community Q&A

**Q: I love the light above the dining table . where is it from please ?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love the light above the dining table. Where is it from please?

A: Hi there, it's by Lindsey Adelman :)

**Q: Built-In Cabinet in Master Bedroom Alcove?? Yes/No** *(in Polls)*

We are in the midst of building a house. Upon entry to the master bedroom - straight ahead- there is a shallow alcove. To the left of it is the Master Suite itself and to the Left is the entrance to the master bathroom.  The master bathroom is somewhat short on space and so we are thinking about having a 36&quot;-ish cabinet with three shelves above it built into the &quot;nook&quot;.  The wall on the left is only 11 3/8&quot; deep and the one on the right is 15 1/2&quot;....which means the cabinet would only be about 10&quot; inches deep. My question is, would this look weird-having such a shallow cabinet? Would it be better, design wise, to do just shelving or to just decorate it with artwork?

A: The images got cut off, here are the rest.

**Q: NEED HELP DETERMINING CURTAIN ROD LENGTH.** *(in Home Decorating)*

I am trying to figure out how wide to make my curtain rod. I’ve been told that 6” past outside window casing on either side is best for curtains to let light in. But not including the width the finials adds, does that 6” take into account the bracket or should I add an additional 1” for bracket, ie 7” on either side? 
Even though many designers are doing 6” plus on either side not including finial width, is that going to look stupid? 
Also, when measuring for curtains, how much do you deduct from rod height using rings with loops for hooks? In other words should I measure basically from the bottom of rod or if curtain pleated middle of rod? And do you go to the exact floor measurement or shorter?

A: The two fan is more modern and does in fact use less fabric. Ripple fold curtains are even more modern and use even less fabric. It's our go-to curtain style. 

Here you can compare the fullness options for these styles - https://www.quiltcraft.com/blog/fullness-in-pictures

Here's an online yardage calculator - https://www.fabric-calculator.com/window-curtains.aspx

And lastly, here's an explanation that provides more detail about how to do it - https://www.helserbrothers.com/how-to-calculate-fabric-for-ripplefold-draperies/

**Q: Color of hardware for taupe kitchen cabinets?** *(in Polls)*

Hello. I wanted to get some input on the cabinet pull color I should go with. Here is a rough design idea of the kitchen. I have stainless steel appliances and satin brass hardware throughout the house. Not sure about the paint color quite yet,  I'll make another poll for that probably :)

A: Mixing hardware finishes in a space provides visual interest and prevents a room from feeling flat so I would encourage you to avoid trying to match appliances. 

I agree with @beverlyfladeziner about using a slightly softer blue + taupe colour. Farrow &amp; Ball's Shaded White is a nice soft taupe reference, pic below. And Benjamin Moore can easily match to their colours if you prefer not to use F&amp;B paint.

**Q: Which backsplash** *(in Polls)*

I have Taj Mahal countertop with Lambswool cabinets.

A: A warm white tile would allow the Taj + cabinet colour to stand out even more. Anything too similar in tone will start to blend in and feel a bit murky. It's important to create a hierarchy of materials so the stone doesn't get lost. You could always do a simple tile with a different layout, perhaps a herringbone? See below. 





Below is an example of what we wouldn't suggest doing - all the tones are too similar and the end result is flat. 



Hope this helps!

**Q: It's time to paint the brick... I think!** *(in Paint)*

Good Afternoon,

I've been wanting to paint my house for a while now but didn't want to paint the brick. I think the time has come to be done with it. I am really wanting to paint the entire house in Benjamin Moore Ballet White ; and do the in shutters Brandon Beige 977. Will this look nice? thanks in advance

A: I think the house could use an update like this! I might select a less yellow white though, to contrast the beige shutters. You can maintain the texture despite painting the brick, of course it changes the aesthetic but it will really brighten up your home, which will allow the greenery to stand out more. Some images below for palette inspiration.
