Samantha Kreindler

I have know Sam for nearly 10 years. We have worked together on her clients. Her easy-going personality makes her a pleasure to work with. Her skills and eye for design makes the finished product functional, practicable and beautiful. I highly recommend Sam for all your design and photography needs.

I had a fantastic experience working with Samantha. She's listened to what I was hoping to achieve in several rooms in my home while staying within a tight budget. Her recommendations far exceeded my expectations. We LOVE the improvements we've made to our home through Samantha!

I contacted Samantha Kreindler of skip home when I was about to purge all of the unwanted furniture that my family had deposited on me and my husband throughout the years—when I had finally screwed up the courage to get rid of everything that was never really ours to begin with and to purchase our own interiors. In addition, we were about to rewire our 110-year-old house, eradicating the knob-and-tube to make it safe for our family. And this meant that after all the holes were patched, we would need every wall in every room repainted. We were also considering a kitchen renovation. Feeling excited but overwhelmed, I solicited several recommendations from friends for designers they had used. But when I saw images of Samantha’s work online, I had an immediate visceral sense that her aesthetic mirrored mine and that she would be able to help us turn our dreams into reality. I was right. After an hour’s consultation about the front of our house and our master bedroom, Samantha quickly presented images of furniture, rugs and lighting—and a budget outline—that exactly met our hopes. She helped us develop a paint palette for our entire home, and also recommended quality painters, that turned our rooms into elegant and peaceful sanctuaries, as well as creating flow from space to space. The fixtures Samantha helped us select have created magical areas of light and shadow throughout our house. The effect has been transformative. I sometimes wonder if I have stepped into someone else’s home. And as I’ve piled on more and more requests throughout the months—such as asking Samantha to help me find new rugs and desks for our three children—she has suggested just the right pieces in just the right price point to make their individual spaces both cozy and functional. In addition, Samantha has taken our kitchen and family room and re-envisioned them in a way we would never have been able to our own. She recommended a highly qualified and effective general contractor, EGM Construction, to do the job and has worked with them every step of the way to make sure our kitchen and family room turned out as functionally and beautifully as we planned. Plus, Samantha has proven expert at solving problems as they inevitably arise. When the original measurements for the kitchen peninsula ended up seeming a bit short, Samantha had it rebuilt in a way that works better for our family. And Samantha never ceases to delight us with her creativity. She suggested covering a blank wall in the kitchen with subway tile accented with art framed in wood and stained to match the ceiling beam. She encouraged us to suspend an oversized bronze pendant light over our kitchen table. Her ideas incorporate our taste and then push it one step further into a more graceful landscape than we could have imagined. Most importantly, Samantha is an expert communicator: reliable, open and empathetic. I feel like she immediately “got” what we were aiming for in our renovations. Whenever I’ve had a question, Samantha has always responded in a thoughtful and timely fashion. Her prices are fair, her estimates accurate, her attention to detail impressive. I am so thankful that we found Samantha. Because of her collaboration, creativity and hard work, our house has undergone a metamorphosis. We now live in a place of beauty, functionality and comfort—a home that my husband, my children and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.
