Their process in planning, budgeting, and scheduling our contractors and procuring our furnishings was seamless. They listened to our improvement wish list and stretched our vision appropriately to create a space that is beyond our expectations. A special thanks to Savanna who is a delight to work with and held our hand through the process; the Studio G owner, Gail - she is warm and approachable and put us at ease with the process from the beginning; and Robert who was with us for every delivery to be sure our items were received without issue. We highly recommend Studio G for all your home decorating needs! > Cindy and Bill P. **★★★★★ — Anita Paulik, Oct. 2022** > Gail and Savanna helped us design and bring our modern coastal design to reality in our new home! They helped from our initial builder design choices to providing several selections for several rooms that met our budgetary needs. They are extremely professional, highly communicative and follow the project until the very last detail is completed. They have great suppliers to work with that will make your home unique to you. I highly recommend them for any of your interior project needs!!!! **Comment from Studio G Home:** > Dear Anita, > > Thank you so much for your considerate review! We are humbled and flattered by your kind words. It also takes wonderful clients like yourself to make the process so rewarding! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you and get to know you. > > We wish you all of the best in your beautiful home! May it bring you comfort and happiness for many years to come. > > Sincerely, > Gail & Savanna **★★★★★ — HU-133985580, Sept. 2022** > Gail, Savanna & Robert are the best. They took on the project of designing our entire home in Sarasota and did an amazing job. The Studio G team are great communicators, are intuitive in terms of client tastes and preferences, and highly professional. Their ideas are tasteful and their suppliers are top notch. They stay highly involved throughout the ideation, design, ordering and delivery phases, and kept timelines and progress reports for all ordered items. It was one of the best experiences we've ever had with designers and we cannot recommend them highly enough. **★★★★★ — lucchin, Aug. 2021** > Working with Studio G was a pleasure. You will not find a better team of decorators anywhere. From the beginning of the project to the end Savanna and Gail kept in constant with us every step of the way. > If you want a decorator who listens and will go the extra mile you want Studio G. > This was not a small project. Our home is now exactly what we envisioned. Just beautiful thanks to the talented designers at Studio G. **★★★★★ — cindy flesher, March 2020** > Gail and her staff at StudioG Home were wonderful to work with. Gail was involved in the building of our home from start to finish. She knew exactly when we needed to meet in order to meet each and every deadline along the way. She not only is an extraordinary designer, she is also very good at the details such as all of the lighting, electrical details and placement. Her design ideas and attention to the smallest details is remarkable. She chose the colors, furniture, and accessories based on our likes and dislikes Our home is absolutely beautiful because of StudioG home. **★★★★★ — Maureen Cote, Oct. 2019** > I was lucky enough to work with Studio G Home - Gail Carlson and her talented team. What an amazing experience. My husband and I built an oceanfront home in Anna Maria, Florida. The house is of substantial size and includes a guest house. Gail masterfully helped navigate the entire design process and here are a few things that make her so special: She listens. Given the substantial nature of the home we built, it would be easy for a designer to assume she was working with an unlimited budget. Both my husband and I come from humble beginnings and we are still very mindful of how we spend money. Gail heard me and worked with the perimeters that I outlined in a kind, thoughtful and creative manner. Additionally, she listened to my desires and helped create an elegant home that still maintains its beach vibe; She interprets. I know what I like and don’t like but it’s not always easy for me to explain it in terms that are easily translated to the end product. Gail masterfully interpreted what I wanted to accomplish and took my vision beyond my dreams; She is kind. She is a fundamentally good person. She treats people with respect whether it was me as the home owner or any of the contractors and subcontractors on the job. It’s very important to me that the professionals that worked on my home enjoyed working on it and took pride in their performance. Gail brings out the best in people and often challenges them with fresh new concepts which can be difficult for some people who are used to doing things a certain way. Gail has such a knack of helping everyone be better. It starts with her kindness and respectfulness towards everyone; She is fiercely talented. Gail is an artist in every sense of the word but she also has incredible organizational skills — rare to find someone who has both. Anyone who comes into my home is truly awestruck by what she helped create. I have built many homes and worked with many designers. Gail and her team are the real deal. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her and I will remain forever grateful. She helped create a true masterpiece. For anyone who is interested in the project I am discussing, the house is featured in the October issue of Home and Design Magazine as the featured house — Sandcastle. **★★★★★ — Mark Nozette, July 2019** > Knowing her outstanding reputation, I reached out to Gail Carlson of Studio G Home in early 2018 to assist me in decorating and furnishing a new condominium in Sarasota. In the ensuing months, I worked closely with Gail, Robert and the entire Studio G team as they got to know me, my tastes and budget. Gail was then able to provide practical and creative advice that ultimately resulted in a beautiful and comfortable apartment that I enjoy living in and showing to others. On a personal level, Gail and Studio G could not have been more gracious and responsive throughout the entire process. I have no hesitation in recommending Studio G highly to anyone seeking top quality professional decorating advice. **★ — Scott Saunders, July 2019** > Before we renovate the condo I was interested in customer service provided by the decorator. We wanted to purchase an item at the retail store in March. We told that it would be ordered due to scratches on the floor model. We followed up July 5 and were told “Robert the manager thought you should have taken the floor model”. We never received a call and thought we were patiently waiting. The response was “sorry... is there anything else we could help you with?...I was pushing for you” Very poor customer service and we will not move to the next step of engaging them in our project. Little thing will demonstrate the behavior of an organization. **Comment from Studio G Home:** > Dear Mr. Saunders, As the manager of the Studio G Home showroom, I regret that we never got to meet in person or speak directly to each other. We do strive to engage with each and every person that visits our showroom with a warm greeting and friendly service. I apologize that you were not directed to me the minute you became dissatisfied on your return visit. I do believe there was some unintentional miscommunication about the tray in question and what you state you were told. Please call and ask directly for me so that I can assist you to resolve any issues with the tray you were interested in. I’m sure we can find a solution. I hope that other readers here will understand by our positive reviews and attempts like this to resolve issues that do arise, that the true measure of a company is if we all remain reasonable, we can work together to find a positive outcome. Kind regards, Robert **★★★★★ — glsebs, March 2018** > I am so happy to review Gail Carlson and Studio G Home as working with them has been such a pleasure. Gail is a uniquely talented designer, and she and her team have created our dream home in our new condo at the Vue. Every morning we wake up and marvel at our fortune to have found Gail as we see beauty all around us. It makes us feel that we don’t want to vacation as much as we have found our little slice of paradise right here in our own home. > > Gail is wonderful to work with and exceeded all of our expectations. We are perfectionists and that is not an easy task! > > Our sincere thanks, > Ellyn and Glenn Salkind **★★★★★ — Sheri & Bruce Cooper, March 2018** > Studio G in Sarasota is the absolute best at what they do. They did an outstanding job coordinating all of the elements in our home including furniture and accessories. Gail and her team made what would have been a stressful, time-consuming job, had we done it ourselves, into a fun and exciting project. They narrowed decorating choices down for us to several really good ones and provided pictures so we didn’t have to spend our time and energy going all over the place and questioning if what we were selecting would give us the look we were going for. Gail and her team were patient and asked questions that helped pinpoint the exact look we wanted. Then they created an action plan with different options and varying budgets. Every time we look at what has come to fruition in our new home, we get excited all over again. **★★★★★ — Vicki and Kevin Fitzgerald, Feb. 2018** > My husband and I had the honor and the pleasure to work with Gail Carlson Brundage to design our Florida dream home! Our vision was to create a home that was timeless, classic and with a feeling of serenity the moment you walked through the door. We utilized Gail's services from the beginning and she was instrumental in every aspect of the design process. She created the electrical layout, the kitchen design, ceiling details, tile selections, wall colors, fireplace design, flooring selections and furnishings for the entire house And, the result was a masterpiece of artistic design! This home and it's furnishings are one of a kind and we are most grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Gail and her team at Studio G. Gail's attention to detail, expertise and professionalism is beyond compare. We are reminded each day, as we enter our home what a gift is was to work with Gail and Studio G! **Comment from Studio G Home:** > Vicki & Kevin, There couldn't be a higher compliment than how you've described the feeling you have living in your beautifully designed home! It was really 'my' honor to have worked with you throughout the year long process! **★★★★★ — Kathy D, Jan. 2018** > We interviewed 5 professionals when we were planning to build our vacation home in Florida, and none were as impressive or helpful as Gail was in the 1st meeting. Her interior design portfolio is very impressive, but it doesn't convey the enormous value that her experience & knowledge of the building process brings. She has been so valuable and appreciated! We feel we have a partner in the job - From reviewing & helping edit the floor plans, to colors, furnishings, site visits & help with EVERY detail (Plus "talking me off the ledge" when selections seem completely overwhelming!), Gail & her crew are simple the best and truly have made building our vacation home a great experience. **Comment from Studio G Home:** > Kathy, It's a pleasure working for you on your beautiful new home! it's been a great partnership with you, the cabinet company and your general contractor. It's always remarkable to see the finished project with the furnishings in place when we have the opportunity to work from 'the ground up'. Thank you for the review and the opportunity to create your new home with you! ## Selected projects - [Anna Maria Island Waterfront](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/anna-maria-island-waterfront-pj-vj~5926113) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 37 - [Siesta Key Bay Front](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/siesta-key-bay-front-pj-vj~908903) - Location: Siesta Key, FL - Photos: 11 - [Anna Maria Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/anna-maria-island-pj-vj~5926449) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 6 - [Harbor Acres Coastal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harbor-acres-coastal-pj-vj~2503708) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 19 - Description: Harbor Acres, Sarasota, Coastal Exterior Architecture, Island Style, Standing Seam Metal Roof, - [Lakewood Ranch, Florida](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakewood-ranch-florida-pj-vj~572126) - Location: Lakewood Ranch, FL - Photos: 10 - [Harbor Acres, Sarasota Florida](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harbor-acres-sarasota-florida-pj-vj~572124) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 14 - [Bay Front Modern, Sarasota Florida](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bay-front-modern-sarasota-florida-pj-vj~572305) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 11 - [Anna Maria Island Bay Front, Florida](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/anna-maria-island-bay-front-florida-pj-vj~572132) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Laurel Park Historic District, Sarasota Florida](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laurel-park-historic-district-sarasota-florida-pj-vj~572731) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 5 [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/studio-g-home-pfvwus-pf~92408193) ## Ideabooks - [Cornell, JC&A](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/125245239/list/cornell-jc-a) — 2 ideas - [Cooper, K&M](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/120888755/list/cooper-k-m) — 3 ideas - [Camlin- Redfish Cove](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80041840/list/camlin-redfish-cove) — 112 ideas - [Coastal items](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/119399487/list/coastal-items) — 26 ideas - [Annaloro](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118016978/list/annaloro) — 3 ideas - [Seaglass Blues](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/51289601/list/seaglass-blues) — 38 ideas - [Fitzgerald](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46294676/list/fitzgerald) — 13 ideas - [Stairs](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/110049434/list/stairs) — 1 idea - [Flesher](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/101920489/list/flesher) — 19 ideas - [bars & wine](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/102032826/list/bars-wine) — 1 idea - [Cote](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/101956376/list/cote) — 1 idea - [Donnar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88961327/list/donnar) — 2 ideas - [toohey](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/85691225/list/toohey) — 15 ideas - [Cape Cod Nantucket](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/49572952/list/cape-cod-nantucket) — 24 ideas - [Storefront](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72143411/list/storefront) — 1 idea - [Baltimore Townhome](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/68855113/list/baltimore-townhome) — 11 ideas - [Masculine Loft](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52513817/list/masculine-loft) — 37 ideas - [tv wall](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46884548/list/tv-wall) — 8 ideas [See all 18 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/gcarlson80) ## Community Q&A **Q: What brand are the chairs?** *(in Photo Questions)* I really like the style of the dining chairs.
