Christine Sheldon Design

My wife and I worked extensively with Christine during our home renovation, which involved one year of planning and one year of construction. This was a major project that required exceptional attention to detail to meet our high standards. We had never worked with an interior designer before, so we expected we would have to double check everything as we are very detail-oriented. We were extremely impressed with Christine‘s work and based on interviews, we did with other designers before choosing her as well as conversations with friends about their interior designers, we would rate her as by far the best. We found that her attention to detail was even better than ours. She was always on time, always very organized, and beyond just interior design recommendations gave us great advice on what we would need to decide on by when. The project management skillet and help is unusual from a designer. Christine has great taste and also managed to impress our GC with her recommendations and ability to satisfy our “can we make it look like this?” outlandish questions. And tactfully giving feedback on our bad ideas :) We have since recommended Christine to other friends who have been similarly delighted.

We have worked with Christine twice so far: once in 2009 for a kitchen remodel, and again in 2025 for master-bath and powder room remodel. In both cases, Christine met with us to understand our goals and tastes, worked on detailed designs, and modified them based on our feedback to arrive at a final proposed design. Christine suggested materials, colors, fixtures, and hardware, all keeping in mind our price point and tastes. We appreciated her ability to choose colors and materials that worked together to create a cohesive whole. She has a good working relationship with many contractors, often acting as an advocate for her customer to make sure the work is done well.

We have had the pleasure of working with Christine on several house projects - living room, dining room and family room. She is super talented, has exquisite taste and a keen eye for detail. She has elevated every room she has touched and I can't wait to work with her on another project!

Christine is the best! She listens, honors your taste, and works hard to ensure your project is executed without surprises/issues. She has helped me with a bathroom remodel as well as an addition (bedroom + bathroom). Christine pays attention to the details, and makes sure your vendors and service providers do as well. I cannot recommend her more highly.

I’ve been working with Christine for years. She has a great eye and listens to what I want and like. She had been good with showing me different price ranges so I can keep my budget. We have slowly renovated my entire house and I couldn’t be more pleased

We have loved working with Christine on our home addition (expansion from about 1100 Sq ft to about 2500 sq ft)! In addition to making our design vision come to life, she has been so helpful in coordinating with our contractor and keeping us on track. She is super duper reliable and responsive, and just lovely to work with. We would definitely work with her again!

We did a complete renovation of a 1925 house in San Mateo Park in 2021. Christine was our designer and was simply a consummate professional throughout the project. She designed our kitchen, laundry, and three bathrooms, as well as all lighting, door hardware and paint throughout the house. Her deep experience shows in her design choices - she pays attention to both aesthetics and practical use issues, always tests fabrics and materials for wear/staining, and her relationships with high quality vendors (cabinets, wallpaper installers) who all showed a lot of respect for her as well. Christine worked to match our style and pushed us a little too - always bringing something that delighted us. We love how the house turned out and recommend her without reservation. She's a true partner and won't let you down.

We have had the pleasure of working with Christine on a major redesign of our kitchen, breakfast room, family room, laundry room and guest bathroom. We could not be happier with the outcome. Christine has great taste, a wonderful work ethic, a positive attitude and she is extremely knowledgeable. She helped us design and select everything from cabinets (including elevation drawings) to furnishings to finishes. The contractors and other vendors she recommended were top-notch. Christine efficiently oversaw every aspect of our project, maintained high standards, was firm when needed and always respectful. She got along great with everyone she worked with. Christine is kind and smart and we have enjoyed all our interactions with her. We highly recommend her.

Christine Sheldon is an amazing & talented designer. She was referred to us, and when I checked her out, she was recommended by other designers, contractors, and my friends in the area. She has the ability to understand each person's specific needs, likes, & dislikes. She's mellow, bright, flexible, creative, and intuitive. She follows your budget. She worked with us during a pandemic with shipping delays. We kept adding to our project. Our project involved creation of a large library, and related deck expansion, partial living room remodel, and construction of a large foyer and entry area. Our house was fully repainted inside and outside. Our contractors appreciated her work and sought out her recommendations. We will continue to use Christine through our next remodels and purchases. She has been a pleasure to work with through the construction months.

It was such a pleasure working with Christine. I had decorated a vacation home on my own, and it was so stressful with all the choices and not knowing the quality of the products. Working with Christine made it easy, as she narrowed the choices, and I felt that I wouldn't be making an expensive mistake. Christine has such wonderful taste and she is so easy to work with. She listens to you, responds back promptly and I love the final product!

My wife and I are two busy professionals with very different decision making styles. She was sensitive and accommodating to both of us, and always went the extra mile to make the result just right. Christine also has excellent judgment and a great sense of humor. She helped us find a reliable high-quality contractor, and did whatever it took to make our remodeling and redecorating experience superb. The finished product looks fantastic and works great!

I can’t imagine doing our project without Christine. Christine was the first person we hired for our very large remodel/tear down. We spent a year collaborating on a floor plan (fixing our wacky layout was quite the challenge) and a year rebuilding/remodeling. Christine guided us through every step… she helped us find an architect, contractor, and cabinet maker and worked with them when needed to get the results we wanted. I am very hands on, particular, and full of ideas (for better or worse). I was always very impressed with Christine’s ability to tell me when she liked my ideas and when “we could do better”. She was always open minded and polite, but yet made sure we wound up making great choices. Long story short, our house is now fabulous. The layout and the kitchen are beautiful and functional. The colors are perfect. We are just now starting to pick out the furniture and look forward to working with Christine to get the furnishings as fabulous as the rest.
