From furniture ideas to colors for paint to names for reliable painters and contractors. Sharon was a wealth of information, and she was a joy to spend two hours with talking about home ideas! > > We will be shopping this weekend to move forward on several of her recommendations. > > I highly recommend Sharon for advice and ideas for improving your home interior! **Comment from Inspired Interiors:** > Thanks, Cathy! Have fun implementing the bathroom and bedroom ideas. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Ivory, Dec. 2018** > We hired Sharon O'Brien and Inspired Interiors this fall. Sharon was WONDERFUL in helping us select paint colors for three rooms, integrate new furnishings into the house, reorganize a den to accommodate two desks and working spaces, and determine the best placement for pictures in our newly arranged home. Sharon was pleasant and professional. She was prompt in her submitting her excellent recommendations and in responding to any questions. > We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sharon O'Brien and Inspired Interiors. We will hire her again this spring when we remodel our basement. **Comment from Inspired Interiors:** > Thanks, Jennifer! I look forward to working with you on your basement remodel. **★★★★★ — Susan Cummings, Dec. 2018** > I asked Sharon to help me choose paint colors and decor for my living and dining room. She quickly recognized my decorating style and made suggestions that reflected it. Her paint selection for the dining room was perfect. Her suggestion for painting the tray ceiling the same color proved to be just what the room needed. She chose a new chandelier that is a show stopper. I will definitely call her again. **Comment from Inspired Interiors:** > Thank you, Susan! I'm so glad to hear that worked out for you! **★★★★★ — Arlene Walsh, Oct. 2018** > Sharon is very professional, reliable, respectful and down to earth. We were downsizing. And Sharon helped to declutter and decorate our new home. And she is not at all pushy. And had she great recommendations. And she works within your budget! **Comment from Inspired Interiors:** > Thanks, Arlene! It was a joy to work with you and Jim! **★★★★★ — Ashley Cox, Oct. 2018** > We recently purchased a house and needed some help picking out some large items. Sharon has been a joy to work with. She isn't pushy and she is understands we have a budget. She is also very easy to communicate with; she responds to emails very promptly. I love how she suggested we find ways to repurpose what we already have and to look for American made items. **Comment from Inspired Interiors:** > Thanks, Ashley! I really enjoyed working with you and Andrew. Best wishes! **★★★★★ — Jessie Hutchens, April 2018** > Sharon is a pleasure to work with! She is very knowledgeable of all styles and successfully meshed a few of our favorite designs/ ideas into one that fits perfect for our new home. She always provided an explanation as to why a specific design may or may not fit with our overall vision, while offering even better alternatives. Also, we appreciated her follow up emails as a refresher of what we covered in our meetings. **Comment from Inspired Interiors:** > Thanks, Jessie! I've had so much fun working with you and Matt! **★★★★★ — sdney42, Oct. 2017** > Ten years ago, Sharon did a fabulous job redesigning our fireplace, so when it came time to update my our bathroom we called Sharon. Sharon selected the fixtures & materials, and designed a peaceful, spa-like space. She also provided options for paint colors for my living & dining rooms, both of which turned out beautifully! She scheduled the workmen and ensured everything was done properly, all the while keeping an eye on the budget. I don’t think I could have survived the transition without Sharon’s support. I love the results! **Comment from Inspired Interiors:** > Thanks, Denise! It was so fun to work with you and your family again. **★★★★★ — k bowser, May 2017** > Moving my elderly mother from out of state was overwhelming. I contacted Sharon to help me plan the move-in at the new, downsized house because I wasn't sure where to start. She was able to create furniture floor plans and a list of what wouldn't fit and, therefore, needed to go into storage. I relied on this information for all my communication with the movers and it made move day practically seamless. I am honestly not sure how I would've gotten through without her help and professionalism. When I'm ready for a project at my own house there is no doubt that I will call Sharon! **★★★★★ — Susan Nolan, April 2017** > Sharon of Inspired Interiors is friendly and professional. When I contacted her, I wasn't certain of what I wanted, I just knew I needed help. Cleaning out my in-laws' house had left my former dream-house cluttered with both heirlooms and junk. I felt overwhelmed by so much furniture, artwork, knickknacks, books, paperwork, etc. Sharon formulated a plan for figuring out what to keep, what to donate, what to sell, and how to rearrange what we are keeping to create a functional, attractive, family-friendly home. I have a lot of work to do to reclaim my home, but I'm no longer intimidated by the sheer size of the project or not knowing where to begin. I cannot recommend Inspired Interiors enough! Thank You, Sharon! **★★★★★ — Robin Blair, April 2017** > Sharon guided us gracefully through new colors, textures and scales for furniture and upholstery when it came time to update our smallish family room. She was sensitive to our existing choices of pattern and color, and paid particular attention to the "favorite things" in our house, mostly art and objects bought during travel, that have anchored us here for years. Her suggestions and advice have enhanced the coziness (and added a welcome cohesion) of the room in ways we could not nave imagained on our own. A very nice experience. **★★★★★ — jen sanders, April 2017** > Working with Sharon was a great experience! Sharon is professional, easy to work with AND most importantly-- she is a very talented designer. > > Sharon's beautiful design ideas, her follow-up and her ability to fully understand our needs were central to our experience being so positive. > > I would absolutely recommend Sharon from Inspired Interiors! **★★★★★ — Colleen, Amy, & Caroline Fitzpatrick, Jan. 2017** > Sharon O’Brien of Inspired Interiors did a masterful job of helping us to find furnishings, window and floor treatments, lighting, artwork, and sculpture for our new house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Eager to work with local (Delaware) vendors as much as possible, Sharon was able to identify a number of Rehoboth area companies and craftspeople that we ended up using. She also retained several outstanding vendors from the Annapolis area to work for us. She made selections for us at design shows and in designers’ showrooms, as well. The drapery and upholstery fabrics Sharon found for us are elegant, unique and coordinate beautifully with our Asian décor. Despite the distance, Sharon willingly traveled from Inspired Interiors in Annapolis the 95 miles to Rehoboth to meet with vendors at our Rehoboth house and to accept deliveries at the beach house, or she drove the 45 miles to Montgomery County many times to meet with us in Maryland. Her flexibility and patience throughout the yearlong project was amazing. Sharon’s expert touches and wonderful taste can be seen in every room of our house as well as on our two decks and our screened porch. We found Sharon O’Brien to be an extremely creative designer who listened well, a key attribute. She was a complete pleasure with whom to work, and we enthusiastically recommend her. **Comment from Inspired Interiors:** > Thank you Colleen, Caroline, and Amy! I really enjoyed working with you on your project. Enjoy many happy memories in Rehoboth. Thanks again! ## Selected projects - [Coastal Casual Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-casual-kitchen-pj-vj~4452023) - Location: Galesville, MD - Photos: 12 - [Coastal Casual Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-casual-master-bath-pj-vj~4452198) - Location: Galesville, MD - Photos: 7 - Description: We took an old outdated master bathroom and updated it for this coastal home. We selected gorgeous blue subway tile in color "lake," with cloud shaped accent tile in shades of blues and whites, a rainfall shower head with a hand held sprayer feature, many more niches for storage, and bench with a marble top and grab bar for safety. A knee wall with glass and tile lets plenty of light stream through the new transom window. A new white wood vanity with ample storage and a luxury quartz countertop,… - [Family Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-retreat-pj-vj~2606512) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - Description: This family retreat is not only a mix of new and old furnishings it's also a mix of design styles. My client has a love for Asian design elements, classic art and beach style. We mixed all three styles together to create a welcoming warm summer home for the family. - [DC Nest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dc-nest-pj-vj~2892604) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 15 - Description: This is a 1 bedroom apartment in Northwest Washington DC in the same building that we decorated a studio apartment in. One neighbor showed another neighbor her apartment and before we knew it we were decorating 3 apartments in this art deco style building and remodeling the rest of the apartments. To help make the galley style kitchen look larger we added a subway tile beveled mirror backsplash, and 4 beveled mirrors on the end wall. We chose a gorgeous chandelier to light up the room and a teal… - [Lake House in VA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-house-in-va-pj-vj~1314616) - Location: Locust Grove, VA - Photos: 14 - Description: Lakehouse living in Virginia is relaxed and fun! The furnishings hold up to water and sun. We selected a bottle green leather sleeper sofa for the living room and used all Sunbrella fabrics on the chair cushions and pillows. We took down the tired old mantle and installed a reclaimed barn wood mantle to echo the beam details on the ceiling. Much needed storage was added to the room with a custom designed storage unit that boosts open shelving at the top and closed cabinet storage on the bottom.… - [Eileen's Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eileen-s-condo-pj-vj~1314856) - Location: Annapolis, MD - Photos: 9 - Description: Eileen wanted a very casual style that mixed her love of painted furniture, with a big cozy down feather slipcovered sofa and soft and bold paint colors. We gave her a soft warm yellow paint in her open living area and a bright turquoise in her home office, and lemon yellow in her bedroom. A custom roman shade in her office adds another pattern that coordinates with the area rug. We spray painted an old brown office chair tangerine color to add more color to the room. Two bookcases give her open… - [City Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/city-living-pj-vj~2887552) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 12 - Description: This is a studio-sized apartment in NW Washington DC. The budget was small and we had a tight deadline so we sourced most furnishings from Wayfair and Ikea. A cocktail table on casters is easily moved to make space for the convertible sofa. My client also asked me for a console table that folded out into a small dining room table because she likes to hold intimate dinner parties. The dining room chairs are stackable for easy storage and fit in a corner of the closet. We put a storage bench in th… [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/inspired-interiors-pfvwus-pf~94057533) ## Ideabooks - [J & C hallway](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/115754257/list/j-c-hallway) — 1 idea - [Desks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/113632103/list/desks) — 5 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/sharon2081) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
