Danielle’s Groovy Basement Reno

I found Sarah (Astute Abode) through Houzz and I couldn’t be more pleased. This was my first major renovation and we started from studs. I knew I needed professional help bringing my “atomic ranch” inspiration to life and I wanted to work with someone who was just as excited. I felt very comfortable from the first consultation. Sarah has impeccable attention to detail and very importantly respected the budget. We involved Sarah in every step of the way - from architectural engineering to furniture selection. I also deeply appreciate Sarah’s transparent communication, which has allowed us to customize the level of support needed throughout the project.

Sarah took our lack of vision and gave us something real, tangible and aligned with what we wanted. She was easy to work with, creative, and able to flex to our whims as we learned what our real preferences were.

Sarah is so talented. We love her design and great energy! As a general contractor, we needed a color consultation for a recent remodel. We had a lot of the materials selected but we’re struggling with color. Sarah came in, reviewed the project and design elements, and recommended the color to tie it all together perfectly. Our problem was solved and the customer was thrilled! Thank you Sarah!

Sarah has been instrumental in helping me update my main floor of my house. After a failed attempt to pick materials for another house, I had lost my confidence that I could do this project on my own. Sarah assured me she would be a great partner and guide me and be honest in all parts of the process. She was right! She is quick to make decisions and honest. I’ve enjoyed working with her and am sure we will continue to have a relationship moving forward for other projects.

Comment from Astute Abode Design:

Thank you! It's been great helping you achieve your vision. Here's to continuing the journey!

Sarah researched and consulted with us on all aspects of our living and dining rooms, ensuring every detail was carefully considered. From selecting fabrics for a custom sectional and ottoman to choosing lamps, pillows, and end tables, she guided us expertly through the design process. We highly recommend her personalized approach to interior design.

Thank you! It was fun to see everything come together!

We had a wonderful experience working with Sarah Hay, the founder of Astute Abode Design, on the exterior colors for our North Kitsap home. We have a large house that, although beautiful, has some awkwardness in its exterior design in the back. In the front, more than half of our facade has natural stone with predominantly warm tones. And to make things even more complicated, the original acrylic window frames are stark white... In spite of so many limiting elements, Sarah was able to come up with a great solution to our problem. The new color scheme compliments the peaceful atmosphere of our property and, at the same time, adds a touch of timeless sophistication to our slightly awkward house. Aside from having obvious creative talent, Sarah is a great listener and communicator, and will do her best to incorporate your personal preferences into the final product. I strongly recommend Astute Abode Design for any project that involves colors and shapes.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE !! We are extremely happy with every aspect of our collaboration with designer Sarah Hay, Astute Abode Design. We are new to the Seattle area, so our realtor referred us to Sarah who helped us plan a full house renovation. She was very responsive & accommodating to our out-of-state travel schedule throughout the entire process. Sarah was instrumental in helping us plan the layout, design aesthetic and project oversight with the general contractor. Her resourcefulness & industry contacts were essential to accelerate the sourcing and ordering of a wide variety of products and materials. In addition, her attention to detail and problem solving skills were essential at each stage of this complete renovation. As experienced homeowners, we appreciated that Sarah took the time to understand and consider our preferences to encompass both style and function into our home design. She is a dependable and skilled designer with integrity and professionalism. We are very happy with the end result and could not have done this without her assistance. Helene & Charles, Seattle, WA

Sarah helped me on my entire house with furniture, art, bookshelves, paint, etc. In my experience with her, Sarah was intelligent, timely, fun, and very relatable. She used her expertise to guide me to find what I didn't know that I would actually like. Sarah introduced me to new textures and colors, and showed me how it works in combinations. She helped me find my style, which is different from hers. To me, that is saying something about her professionalism.
