Savvy Interiors/ inSIDE by Savvy

I am very happy I found Savvy Interiors. I had been thinking about what I wanted to do with my house for a while but when I was able to get started, I knew I needed help to visualize the final project. My project involved painting the whole house, replacing all the flooring, and remodeling the kitchen and two bathrooms. Vanessa and Phoebe had good ideas on what to do but listened to me when I was looking for something different on a particular point. In a project with this many moving parts, the order of when things got done was important. The contractors had to work well together and they did. I stayed in the house during the work and was concerned about the house staying functional for me. Some of the kitchen appliances were moved around as the work progressed but I was able to use my kitchen, my laundry, and at least one bathroom throughout the project. I was never worried about having the contractors in my home. And they answered all of my questions about their work. Now that the project is completed, I look at the transformation in my house and smile.

When I first contacted Susan and team about my kitchen, I had no idea what I wanted nor how much I wanted to do. They did an incredible job helping me through the entire experience, suggesting different design elements, and a number of different possibilities all throughout the process. I was thrilled with the outcome and never could have envisioned it from the beginning. I must admit I was hesitant about how the process would go and it was very smooth. They continually kept me up to date on the schedule and it was finished on time with no major issues. I can't thank them enough for the experience and the beautiful kitchen that resulted from it!

When we set out to find a designer for our kitchen/family room remodel, we knew we wanted someone who could handle both the aesthetic and design component as well as the GC side of the equation. Susan and Savvy Interiors fit the bill! She and her team were amazing to work with. From the very first meeting when we discussed our vision, we could tell that Susan was fully in command of the business and was someone whom we could trust -- from listening to our "wants" to finding the best contractors and suppliers to her exquisite taste and understanding of the design/build process, we were confident that our project was in good hands. Throughout the process, we were kept apprised daily of what was happening at the house (we moved out temporarily), were sent status updates and photos and kept in the loop. We felt like we had a good open line of communication with them (which is critical!) and were impressed with how seamlessly things went given that we were in the middle of a pandemic (demo began in July!). Of course, there were some pandemic-related material/furniture delays and a couple of hiccups (I can't imagine a remodel not having a couple TBH), but the team at Savvy responded quickly and gracefully to each and we couldn't be more excited with the end result.

Susan and her team worked patiently with my husband and I, helping to guide us through the design process. We updated all interior and exterior paint, all flooring (wood and carpet) and created livable and functional spaces throughout our house. Susan and her team transformed our home into a bright, fresh, and comfortable space. It must be mentioned, that everyone at Savvy was easy to work with, punctual, and had a quick response time to emails and phone calls. I feel grateful to have found Susan and Savvy!

I love my new office! Working with Savvy’s design team was easy and Phoebe made the entire process a breeze. I had very specific ideas for my photography business’ new office and how it needed to blend with the existing reception area. The design team did an excellent job listening, collaborating and delivering just what I envisioned. I could not be happier with my new office and I highly recommend Savvy Interiors without any hesitation.

Susan and the Savvy Interiors team totally came through for us! We had been admiring Savvy's work for years before getting to work with the team! From design, to product selection, to on-site contractors; Susan and the Savvy team exceeded our expectations. Now 1.5 years later, we still LOVE and use our Savvy-designed kitchen, family room, and laundry room! We still fully appreciate everything about the projects.....colors, design, quality, functionality, and comfort of each area! HOME RUN by Savvy! Thank you for making our house a beautiful home!

As a fellow home professional, I love following the team a Savvy Interiors to see their beautiful transformations! Their design aesthetic is elevated and timeless!

Savvy Interiors did a fantastic job choosing my new hardwood floors. I wanted a casual, coastal vibe but I was worried about keeping the original dark cabinets in my kitchen. Savannah and Susan assured me that it would all look great together and they were right. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

Susan and her team have helped me with remodels and/or design assistance with 3 homes over the past 10 years. They are outstanding! Beautiful vision to maximize space and create exactly the look and feel you want for your home. Highly recommend!

We had Savvy Interiors help us with the design and installation of our small home office. Susan and Savannah designed a space that is not only beautiful, but maximizes storage. They created a stylish, elegant built-in area, with a custom-built desk, that suits our needs perfectly! The installation process went smoothly, and Savannah constantly kept us informed about contractors’ work schedules. All of Savvy’s contractors did quality work, were professional, and friendly. We are so happy with the office result, that we are planning on having Savvy Interiors help us with the rest of our home.

My kitchen and family room built-ins are magnificent! I think I have pretty good taste but I could have never pulled this together myself. Vanessa worked with me on 2 projects and she was a joy to collaborate with. I had a lot of my own opinions and inspirations. Vanessa was agreeable, but she would never hesitate to give me a hard, "no," if she needed to overrule one of my ideas. My floors were complicated (to me), and Vanessa never wavered in her recommendation. The flooring turned out to be magnificent, a real show stopper. All of the contractors were professional and easy to have in the house. They all take great pride in their work and it shows. They were always willing to move something, change something, etc. I'm not going to lie, it's not easy having workers in the kitchen for close to 2 months, but it's well worth the investment. Everything is so pulled together. I've never worked with anyone before and the difference is dramatic. Everyone in this entire organization are super trustworthy.

I had such an amazing experience interning with Savvy Interiors over the summer! This incredible team of women is extremely talented and knowledgeable. In the midst of being extremely busy, they always took the time to instruct me and help me grow as a designer. I learned so much about the design process through shadowing the team and being able to create my own designs as well. This team has such a strong passion and love for interior design, and it shows in all the work they do. The spaces they create and the relationships they maintain with their clients are truly personal and unique. Savvy Interiors is a collaborative, creative, and fun environment that I have had the honor of working at for the last couple of months.

We have worked with Savvy interiors on multiple projects during the last 5 years and we have been so happy that we always come back. Most recently, we hired Savvy to renovate 4 secondary bathrooms and to help us furnish/design our new home. I love working with Savvy because Susan is very realistic about budget, timeline, expectations and the entire team is so professional. Not to mention their work is truly beautiful and unique. The entire process from beginning to end was smooth with very minimal “hiccups” and when “problems” did arise we were always presented with well thought out solutions. Overall we LOVE all the bathroom remodels, which were completed on time and we are excited to see the rest of our project come together as our new furniture starts to arrive! We highly recommend and Susan and her Savvy interiors team.

Susan and her team are amazing! So professional and their expertise were worth every penny. They went above and beyond expectations! Cannot recommend Savvy Interiors enough!

Savvy Interiors helped me transition from a large home to a small town house with an open living design! They helped me transform my kitchen/dining area and tv area into a room that is has a calming feel with pops of color. I worked with Phoebe and Savannah - they both are enthusiastic and patient- they helped me with my vision while keeping my budget in mind! Susan always reviewed the choices and with her experience and expertise she was able to put her finishing touches on the room. I look forward to working with Savvy again.

Susan, Vanessa and Phoebe were wonderful to work with. They are creative and did an incredible job helping transform my space into one that was functional and beautiful.

Susan and Haley are amazing to work with. We have used them twice so far for our home improvement projects, Kitchen, Family room, dining room, mancave and living room so far. We plan to use them once we decide to start doing more improvement projects with the bedrooms. We have referred them to many of our friends and they have nothing but great things to say about their experience.

I want to thank Savvy Interiors for transforming our outdated kitchen into a coastal modern design that looks like it should be in a magazine. Susan personally worked with us to weigh the pros and cons of updating vs. complete remodel and designed something that fit our vision and budget. She also worked with us to design the surround for our see-through fireplace and an awkard enrtryway that now is a focal point of the house. I am someone who prides themself in managing projects and thought I could do much of this myself. I questioned the added cost of a general contractor. Going through the remodel experience and working with Savvy made me realize the value that this level of coordination brings. There were at times four different contractors in my home and each dependent on the work the other was doing. There was no way that I could have coordinated all of this work myself and if I had tried, it would have likely cost me more. I also appreciate the relationship Susan has with her contractors and the care she has taken in choosing them. True professionals who I never questioned being in my home alone or if they would do a high quality job. They were excellent! Thank you Susan and the Savvy team! Thank you to her incredible contractors Michael, Francisco, Kerry and Andrew!

I loved working with Haley and Susan on my bathroom remodels. They listened to my requirements and stayed within budget. The subcontractors were courteous and conscientious in my home. I would hire them again and highly recommend Savvy Interiors.

We were so fortunate to have discovered Susan and her team! The key here is her team of amazing professionals. Savvy Interiors lives up to their name for sure! We gutted and put in a new kitchen, installed new Coretec flooring, and painted the entire downstairs. They handled everything from the design, proposal, schedule, communication with the contractors, follow ups, advice on appliances, furniture, artwork, etc... plus they really helped us make the right decisions regarding material and style for our budget. They explained the process with what to expect, etc...and assisted with answers and advice along the way. We're so grateful for having found her and with the results! There's more to do such as the bathrooms and the upstairs. Looking forward to that! Thank you Savvy Interiors!

We hired Susan to remodel our kitchen/family room. Susan and her team did an absolutely amazing job. She gave me my dream kitchen and more. She asked questions and listened to what I was looking for and then put together a story board with various options and brought them to life in a way I never could have imagined. Her vision is truly impeccable and the level of communication and service from both Susan and her team met and exceeded our expectations. We absolutely love our new space and look forward to all of the wonderful memories we are going to make in it!

We are SO pleased with how everything went - from start to finish. Not only did we create a beautiful bathroom with quality materials but the people we were worked with ALL such high-quality people was well. Each and every vendor sent our way was incredible at their trade. I feel we got the crème de la crème of highly-skilled professionals. And, our designer/project manager Haley....what a wonderful experience it was to work with her. Her project management and communication skills were excellent. She was ALWAYS accessible either via phone, text or email and was able to troubleshoot issues quickly. There were a few design plans we had to change based on how the flow of the project was going but Haley was so fast to make the needed changes so we could move on to the next phase of the project without prolonging the schedule. It was our very first experience doing any major home remodeling project and I'm so glad we decided to go with the full-service route. Although my husband and I are intelligent people, being handy with plumbing and electrical is not our forte! I'm SO glad we left it to the professionals to do their job and go above and beyond. Compared to most projects they work on I know our project was small but Savvy made us feel like our project was the only one that mattered.

Our experience with Savvy Giving By Desigb was wonderful from the beginning to the end. The SGBD team is simply amazing, very professional and accommodating to our needs. The reveal was absolutely Magical. We are forever grateful for this opportunity of a life time. Our girls wake up everyday with smiles, the rooms feel and look like they came out of magazine or a five star resort. We are truly blessed and pray God Blesses this organization and to abundantly today and always. Our girls are forever changed because of this experience, we will never forget it. On behalf of my family and I we Thank You!

My wife and I really enjoyed working with Susan and the team at Savvy. They were professional, courteous but most of all talented and full of good ideas. We could not be happier with our home office remodel as well as our new light fixtures and living room furniture. Their contractors were also professional, punctual and clean! first class all the way.

I cannot say enough about the results produced by the Savvy Team for our Master Bedroom & Bath remodel. The work was extensive, and the results are no less than dramatic! The team took care of everything, and followed up on every little issue, making the entire process very worry-free. The contractors were all wonderful ... you really get the best of the best when working with this team. And the design is gorgeous! We couldn't be happier, and especially want to call out Vanessa for putting together a beautiful design and supporting us throughout the entire process.

I could not be more pleased with our new living room space and with Susan and her team at Savvy Interiors. The colors, texture, and layout are all beautiful, and the project was achieved at a reasonable price! Furthermore, the work was accomplished in a timely manner and all team members were highly professional and responsive to feedback. I will definitely use Savvy Interiors again and I look forward to our next project together!

Susan and her team completely remodeled our old kitchen with brand new cabinets, new flooring, fixtures, sink, backsplash and new counters. She took a dark, dreary, not very functional kitchen and turned it into something beautiful, bright, cheery and at the same time kid-friendly. I have 5 kids and wanted something beautiful, that would hold up to their daily shenanigans. Her contractors were all amazing. I trusted them in my home and they were all highly knowledgeable and very respectful. I would have Susan do it all over again and look forward to fixing up the rest of the house with her!

Susan and her team did a great job with our kitchen remodel! It feels like a brand new kitchen. We refaced the cabinets, built a new island, and transformed a small desk area with cabinets into a bar area with a wine fridge. The quality of the work is fantastic and all the contractors were respectful of our house and highly talented. It was great being able to rely on Savvy from start to finish creating exactly what we wanted in our home.

My wife and I have worked with Savvy Interiors in the past on small spaces and when we bought our new home, which needed extensive renovations, we knew there was no other firm to call! One of the several projects was the kitchen. The house was built in 2003 as a Spanish Bungalow with heavy Tuscan accents. We wanted to keep the integrity of the architecture and create a more modern "Spanish Revival" space. Crisp, bright, updated...but with touches of Spanish flair. The Savvy team understood out desires perfectly. This decision was the best we could have made. They worked with us to pick out materials and design a space that made sense for our family. They were helpful in every arena...from adding small touches like adding a trash pullout and adding inches to the island countertop...to larger decisions like using a graphic tile as a backsplash and using reclaimed wood throughout the space. When taking on a huge renovation (or even a small one), you need a team of people that not only know what they're doing but that you can trust, lean on, vent to...especially when your patience is thin! Susan was upfront from the beginning about the hardships we will face, it is construction after all! There were hiccups, leaks, human errors, last minute changes that needed to be made and delays...but using a team like Savvy, it was dealt with in a timely fashion, and professionally. Savvy's contractors are the best. The work with each other all the time, many who have worked with Savvy for decades, and that is KEY when taking on a project that requires several contractors. I could not imagine using contractors who did not know each other or work together well. This space is a testament to true craftsmanship by the best contractors available and staying loyal to the architecture of the house......led by a professional design team! Thank you Savvy Interiors!

Savvy Interiors and I have been working together now for almost 2 years. Susan and her team are extremely organized which makes them as great partners. Their design choices are always current with the trend in what's going on in the market. They treat their customers as family and I'm excited with each new project that we get to do together!

I took possession of my new home on Jan 10th. Susan had arranged for the remodel to begin the next day. She employees a loyal group of contractors, plumbers, painters etc. so she was able to keep my project moving forward in a timely fashion. There was never a time I could not communicate directly with Susan or through her able assistant Jullian. I was able to make most of the decisions necessary for the remodel in one visit to her well appointed studio just off I57 Her lead contractor for my project "Michael" is absolutely the best. Very patient and very reliable. If you need a tie breaker when deciding on your design co-ordinator, Susan donates many many hours to a non profit she started that designs and builds cool bedrooms that bring smiles and happiness at no cost to the family for children suffering from cancer

Susan from Savvy Interiors is a fantastic resource for professional advice. Her years of experience allows her to have a streamlined system in how her projects run, and her taste in her designs are always beautiful and well put together. She will be a go-to resource for me and my business.

Susan is an awesome Designer. I love her style and how she communicates with her clients even the smallest clients.

Savvy Interiors was such a pleasure to work with! Susan's design ideas are timeless and beautiful and her attention to detail are second to none in the industry. Can't wait to collaborate again in the future!

Working with Susan has been a dream. Her expertise and talent is immeasurable and her generosity in sharing her knowledge of the industry has helped me greatly. Such a pleasure to work with!

Savvy Interiors did an amazing job in helping me pull together my living space! The color coordination and floor planning they came up with is absolutely stunning! It's now our favorite place to hang out as a family. Well done! Next up, the rest of the house!

We had a flood that led us to remodeling our kitchen. Susan desisnged and oversaw every detail of my new kitchen. I was impressed with Susan and her team every step of the way. Not only did it turn out beautiful, but they were all so incredibly easy to work with. I am detail oriented and it was a good match because they are too. I highly recommend Susan and her team to anyone looking for a remodel or update.

Susan and the Savvy team updated and designed our family room and we couldn't be happier. Our custom built-ins are not only functional but the craftsmanship is top notch. The design brings the "WOW" factor to our space through the beautiful fabrics, textiles and accessories. Susan's design team is professional, collaborative and was able to see our vision and bring it to life. I would highly recommend Susan and Savvy Interiors and can not wait to get started on our next project!

My family recently had the opportunity to work with savvy giving designs. Not only was their design excuted beautifully, all of their contractors were professional, on time and top of their craft. We will be using and referring them in the future.

I have used Savvy for a couple of small projects and both times I was very happy. They have a small team of designers with Susan overseeing if needed/desired. THey have a storefront which I love so you can touch/feel. The designers have great ideas and are very responsive. Prices are good as well. I can't wait for my BIG re-do as Saavy will definitely be my Go-TO.

Savvy Interiors and their team of professionals were amazing. I can't say enough about how genuine, honest, and dedicated they are, and how they went above and beyond for our family in transforming two of our daughter's rooms. Communication is key, and they were always in contact with us with updates on progress and what we should expect around each corner. We are thrilled with the result and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Loved all of the details in the room makeover. Every contractor from flooring to paint to windows were very professional, precise, and quick with install. Every detail was immaculate. Extremely happy with the results and high quality materials used. Everything was done according to schedule and finished a little early than expected. Highly recommended

Vanessa and Phoebe helped transform our loft from a kids playroom to an area where the entire family can enjoy spending time! They had some great design ideas with a bold wallpaper and a mid-century modern look that I love every time I walk in or by the room. They also helped us refresh our master bedroom from a dated, dark look, to a bright, beautiful and tranquil room with pops of color. It was exactly what I wanted. We had a few issues with items ordered along the way and all were addressed by Vanessa and Phoebe quickly. We are still working through a few accessories to put that perfect final touch!

I have nothing but great respect for Susan and her design team. She is a true natural talent. Not only are they fun to work with, they are extremely efficient and professional. After recently purchasing a new home with a dated interior, we collaborated with Savvy on our major home remodel. We had no idea what to do or where to begin. Susan and team got to know us, our lifestyle and our personal style. They took that information and created the most amazing, beautiful and functional space. The Savvy team gave us creative ideas on construction and design that we never would have thought of on our own, and we love every aspect. I know that we will work with them for years to come!

Savvy Interiors is an incredible design firm in San Diego. All of their employees are extremely talented and more importantly some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I got the opportunity to work at Savvy as an intern for the summer of 2016. While there, I work primarily with Vanessa Hiltman, who is such a joy. Vanessa and her coworkers have transformed so many homes and even a few small business spaces. All of the designer have many years of experience of even volunteer their time and design expertic to give back to the community with their Savvy Giving charity. If you are looking for an interior designer in the San Diego, you must check out Savvy Interiors.

Susan and her team exceeded our expectations of what home really means. I have never worked with a design firm in the past & this team is exceptional! Susan very clearly saw our vision of what Lauren's dream room would look like & every detail was meticulous. The design team was always professional & positive & the work crew were the same. From painting to trim work, the quality was A+. I could not recommend them more!

Savvy Interiors has been wonderful to work with, it has been a real pleasure to work with Susan and all the staff at Savvy Interiors. They are always looking out for the customer’s best interest. There are few words to describe Savvy Interiors’ designs, we can only describe them as creative, classy and with a great sense of spacing, they are simply the Best designs. It is nice to work with true professionals with high ethics and values. Thank you so much Susan for letting us be a part of Savvy Interiors’ family. We feel truly blessed to collaborate with Savvy Interiors. From all os us at Altowood, Thank You!

As a journeyman finish carpenter/cabinetmaker, I have enjoyed many years working with Savvy Interiors, Susan Wintersteen, and the contracting/design team there. It is a valued association with the staff as well as the fellow specialty contractors that makes my personal experience with Savvy rewarding. The scope of the projects and the clients that are served are exceptional. Working with Savvy, as part of a team of other contractors, I enjoy the creativity and leadership, coupled with the respect given towards my work and the work of the team. As contractors, we communicate between one another, and are able to arrange our work around one another to the benefit of all, most importantly, the client. Savvy provides that luxury to us with a steady guiding hand in all processes. Savvy's clients are wonderful to work for, and that makes every project a pleasure.

Over the past several years we have used Savvy and team for a variety of projects, anywhere from a simple staging project to a full house remodel/redesign. All of our experiences have been great! Susan and team are conscientious of time and budget and always willing to present a variety of options to ensure that you are happy with the end result. My husband and I don’t agree on everything (surprise!) but Susan is always able to take our different preferences and blend them together into something that we both end up loving! Over the years I am pretty sure we have met and worked with all of the Savvy contractors (paint, tile, counter tops, cabinets, wood work, electrical, general contractor, etc) and honestly can’t say enough about them. They are all very pleasant to work with, honest, reliable and reasonably priced, which I think it hard to come by in this industry. What originally started as a small staging job has turned into years of continued projects. After our first experience we were amazed by the difference a well decorated house/space makes. Not only does it help the selling process, but also in the day to day grind. Coming home to a well decorated house/space is like a breath of fresh air and makes even the worst days a little bit brighter. And Susan and her team are awesome at would they do…I would (and have) refer them over and over again

I am an old woman who doesn't want to get old ....but time has had its way. I asked Susan to help me remodel a 30 year old one level twin home so I could age in place. She enthusiastically took on my project even though I had a tight time line and modest budget. We cranked out my wish list in her Inside Savvy design store in about 1 hour....she had samples of everything I needed to quickly put my "want list" together. She is one of the gifted ones who listens. Susan is truly thrifty with words and long on listening. I felt she was able to read my mind as she quickly pulled out samples of flooring, cabinet styles, colors, cabinet fixtures, wall coverings and counter top materials which made it easy for me to move through this step of the remodel. The next step was an on site walk through of my space. I threw her a curve at this juncture asking for a fireplace be to be buried and some walls removed. My demo started mid January and I moved into my place March 1. Susan and her gifted team of contractors completely gutted the interior of my space replacing everything except one bathtub within that 6 week period. The time line and project were completed as promised. Special stuff I observed while working with Susan: 1. She works with a personal assistant, Cindy who records every interview taking notes of everything that is agreed to...what is added or deleted. In my opinion minimized mistakes and misunderstandings and made followup so effective. 10+ on followup and communications. 2. Her subs are super!! Neat, clean and so talented in their crafts. Not only are they skilled but they were consistently on time and work was completed in a very timely manner. I did have a few issues with this phase of the project, but this has been addressed and I am satisfied with Susan's guarantee that all will be cleared up. Special heads up for Kerry and Michael. Everyone was wonderful, but these two guys were so helpful!! 3. Accounting was very detailed and monies and expenditures were disclosed in writing. 4. Susan kept on budget. However, that being said, I did add a few things in the mix which increased the cost of the remodel. But, I did that, not Susan.. 5. Susan saved me money and time. I truly appreciate her and her very helpful insights as to which materials and vendors to use. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan and her Savvy Interiors Team. She is fabulous and only works with very honest and wonderful team members.

Susan and her team did a great job with our project! It feels like a brand new house. New floors, paint, shutters, new paint on our kitchen cabinets, new countertops, cabinet hardware, painted or stained all of the honey cabinets and stairwell banister. Susan even turned a potential disaster (sheer wall where we didn't expect one) into the perfect design solution for a walk in pantry and coat closet/mud room shelving unit. It was great being able to rely on Savvy from start to finish - design and arranging all contractors/subs. All of the subs were very respectful of our house. Only downside is that now I'm itching to redo the few rooms we left out of this project!

I contacted Susan for some ideas for colors and decor for my home in North Carolina. I had just moved there and did not know a soul. I have seen Susan's work in friends and acquaintances homes, and love her design style. Susan was more than helpful in informing me of colors and ideas to decorate on my own. If I had been in San Diego, I would 100% have used her services. She has an amazing sense of design. She is also so caring. She is continually giving back to her community in any way she can, even decorating rooms for individuals suffering from cancer. Wonderful person and designer. Anyone would be lucky to have her decorate their home.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Susan and her team at Savvy on a few small projects in my house (plank wall, wallpaper, and barn door). Susan took the time to listen to what we had in mind and added her expertise and talents to give us beautiful results. She and her team of contractors were very professional and a delight to work with. We have received many compliments on all the projects and could not be more pleased. Thank you Susan! Looking forward to working with you again soon!

We had the pleasure of working with the Susan and the Savvy team on our kitchen remodel and downstairs flooring and guest powder room. Working with Susan was easy and very enjoyable. Susan not only stayed on budget but gave us the kitchen of our dreams! From the minute we met Susan we knew we were working with a true professional. Susan has a great eye for design and is truly passionate about her work. She listened to our ideas and helped guide us while providing valuable knowledge and know-how. While Susan keeps herself and her Savvy team very busy with many projects she was never too busy to take my calls, or respond to my emails. Every Savvy subcontractor we worked with was top notch, professional, and friendly. Our project was done on time, and on budget. Susan made sure we were happy with every detail before we finished. Overall, this was a great experience and we were very happy with the end result. Sincerely, The guy how was reluctant to work with an interior designer and the wife who can now say, “I told you she would be good”.

I would highly recommend Savvy Interiors for your next design project. Susan Wintersteen and her crew of highly-trained professionals were a pleasure to work with from start to finish on the large-scale interior design project we hired them for. We recently purchased a tuscan-style home with beautiful architecture and a wonderful lay-out, but the majority of the interior was a more traditional, darker, older style than we prefer. We wanted to make the home "ours," which meant a more colorful, mediterranean aesthetic, along with some very personalized design aspects and finishing touches. Susan did exactly that, and with more creativity and attention to detail than we could have ever envisioned. Susan is a brilliant designer with a genuine eye for design. She and the Savvy team took general ideas and concepts that we knew we wanted to incorporate and ran with them. By truly listening to our ideas and honoring our family's personal style, preferences, and practical needs, Susan was able to design and create spaces that were perfectly suited to us. In total, Susan took essentially a blank canvas of a 6000+ square foot 7-bedroom home and designed and decorated 1 master suite, 2 children's bedrooms, a loft, hideout, and playroom for our kids, 2 guest rooms, an office, a living room, a family room, and a dining room. All of the bedrooms required new flooring, paint, wall-coverings, electrical work, furnishing, and décor. Susan's impressive knowledge and experience, along with her access to professionals who are truly skilled at their trade ensured we had the ability to select from top-quality, reasonably-priced materials and that installation would be done in a timely, professional, and flawless manner. Susan has an incredible staff who works with her at Savvy. While she has the uncanny ability to be in 8 places at one time, in those rare moments when she could not physically be at our site, she made sure that all aspects of the day's work were going smoothly and proceeding without issue. I found her and her staff and contractors to be honest, trustworthy, and friendly. The photos of our home that are featured on Houzz truly speak for themselves. As cliché as it may sound, it is truly ALL in the details. Needless to say, we will definitely return to Savvy for any and all of our future design needs!

I recently worked with Susan and Savvy Interiors on the tile and carpet flooring in my newly constructed home. We had the builder put in the standard options and then upgraded after close with all new distressed wood-look white porcelain tile downstairs and a herringbone carpet for the stairs and upstairs areas. I had been expecting the whole process, especially the upgrade/tear out process, to be overwhelming, time consuming, labor intensive, and costly. I was pleasantly surprised when working with Susan and her team at Savvy turned out to be an incredibly smooth, creative, manageable, and fun experience. I had never used an interior design service before, as I consider myself to be creative and wanted to be my own “designer”. So I came to the table with a lot of my own ideas and an already pretty defined aesthetic. But Susan was a true professional in that she listened acutely and without ego, and then supported me with fresh concepts that not only incorporated my look & feel but infused it with a complimentary energy. Decisions were made, materials were ordered, contractors were scheduled and work began. Savvy's prices were reasonable (so much so that the idea of opting out of upgrades with the builder became a serious NO-BRAINER), their vendors were amazing, their contractors were time notch, meticulous, and on-time, and the quality of the finished product was impeccable. I also cannot underestimate how valuable Susan's well-earned advice was in avoiding problems and steering clear of common and costly mistakes. I am so happy with my collaboration with Savvy Interiors, I can’t wait to get started on backsplash, windows, built-ins and designing my office/library!

Susan and the Savvy interiors team facilitated and designed a top to bottom bedroom remodel for us. New flooring, new baseboards, new paint, wallpaper and furniture and decor. Susan and her team take great care when working with clients. From the start, communication was on point. I always knew when to expect contractors or the Savvy team. Savvy Interiors sense for design is on trend, while also remaining timeless. They use top quality products, rich color and texture and took my kids wishes for their rooms and went above and beyond (even incredible custom graphics for the art on their walls) My kids were so happy with their rooms and so am I. I would highly recommend them and look forward to hiring Savvy Interiors in the future.

I came to Susan at Savvy with a big project, but I didn't have a lot of direction of what I wanted as I am terrible at knowing where to start. Susan was able to work with me quickly to develop and overall look and feel for my house. Susan is passionate about her work and her service to her clients and it SHOWS. Susan is honest, direct, efficient, and has a great eye for design. Susan's access to, and handling of, contractors (tile, paint, counters, carpet, cabinets, electrician) was INVALUABLE. I had people coming to my house to provide quotes as soon as I said I wanted to start. All of the contractors were amazing-they did fantastic work and were dependable. If I ever had questions about what was happening, Susan was readily able to answer them and dealt directly with the contractors if additional things needed to be done. I fully trust and expect Susan to provide me with the best service and price around. I appreciate that Susan focuses not only on the quality of products, but she is also considerate of the budget and cost of items. I have worked with other designers in the past who were slow, used up endless hours "looking" for fabrics, furniture, etc, and could never tell me how much things would cost. Susan's fees were fair and appropriate. The amount of work done in a relatively short period of time without any major hiccups/problems was amazing. Savvy Interiors is excellent! My family is very pleased with our newly designed home.

Savvy Interiors is a great design company that helped us redesign our kitchen, family room, and breakfast nook area. Susan and her team were effective in facilitating the selection of materials, colors, and overall design--at the same time the team was very efficient in managing contractors, vendors, and the overall project timeline. Savvy did a fantastic job!

Susan at Savvy Interiors helped us turn our children’s playroom area to a more grown up space. I really appreciate her eye for design and her honesty and patience with me through the process. She designed a built in for a niche area that had an awkward wall shape. Her clever design tricked the eye and now you would never know about the uneven wall. Our family loves our new space! I highly recommend Susan and her team.

I worked with Susan to install all new floors in our downstairs areas. I wanted a durable, waterproof, affordable, long lasting wood look floor. I ended up having Savvy Interiors install Coretec wood look viynl flooring and it looks amazing. The best part is that this flooring was installed right over the top of my tile and hard wood so there was no demo costs or mess. It was quick and easy. The team of installers were excellent as well. A very positive experience overall.

Savvy Interiors was amazing to work with. We had a remodeling project for which we needed professional guidance and Susan came highly recommended by a friend. She gave us great feedback and valuable advice along the way. Wonderful experience!

First let me say that my experience with Vanessa at Savvy Interiors has been nothing but positive. My project was not a big remodel, but just help with putting my master bedroom and bathroom together. I was just lost, and needed help in achieving my vision. She never made me feel like I was any less of a client due to size of my project. She was alway very prompt for every appointment, and was more than willing to work around my work schedule. She was also very patient with me, as I had a difficult time making a few decisions. The end result was I love my master bedroom and bath, and couldn't have done it without Vanessa. I would highly reccommend Vanessa and Savvy Interiors.

In November, 2015, my 13yr old daughter was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer. Susan Wintersteen heard about Kasey’s illness and rallied the community of Ranch Penasquitos and adjacent areas to renovate both Kasey’s room and my younger daughters room. Susan and her crew from Savvy Interiors consulted with Kasey and her sister and came up with design plans that matched their ideas. Susan then transformed their ideas into amazing reality that has bolstered both girls spirits through tough times. Savvy Interiors attention to detail and coordination of contractors was gold-star with little or no disruption to the family. Susan and the crew were always checking in with progress and making sure we were advised every step of the way on what was going on. I recommend Savvy Interiors to anyone that wants a top-quality design team and finished product!

I have nothing but good things to say about Savvy Interiors. They installed my hardwood floors, re-carpeted 3 staircases, designed a brand new built in, installed carpet upstairs and helped design my new kitchen. They got back to me right away - great prices on all the bids. Wonderful service. When something needed a slight correction they responded immediately and resolved it. I recommend them to everyone looking to do big and small house projects.

I was in need of a major overhaul for my master bedroom. I didn't know where to start and was looking for guidance. Susan and her team at Savvy Interiors were fantastic to work with. They designed a beautiful bedroom and communicated with me throughout the process. They were friendly and knowledgeable and I would recommend their services.

I have been beyond pleased with every aspect of Savvy Interiors! The folks are extremely knowledgeable and helpful with important decorating and design decisions, the installation of the products is handled with much professionalism and courtesy, and the prices of service and products are very competitive. I wish Savvy could give my home a makeover, but for now I will have to settle with new carpet, paint and wallpaper!! Two thumbs up for Savvy!!

We initially hired Savvy to help us put together a "master plan" for our house. The first hour consultation was invaluable. It probably saved us 40+ hours of endless searching and trips to stores/design centers. Susan shared thoughts about the types of materials and design treatments we could apply to each room in our house, tips and ideas that we'd never have known or had time to figure out on our own. We quickly put the ball in motion to renovate our kitchen, living room, dining room and spare bathroom. The suppliers and tradespeople she recommended were very competent and extremely customer focused. We'll be using Savvy again when we decide to move forward with the next phase of our master renovation plan.

My mom hired Mrs. Wintersteen and her company to re-do my room. It was a secret! This is what I wrote her after I saw it: Thank you so so so much Mrs. Wintersteen!! My room is amazing and I love it. Your work is artful, and you're a spectacular designer. I really appreciate the work you've done and I'm very pleased. My favorite parts are the quotes on the wall, the Irish flag, and the recliner Scandinavian style chair, while I love everything about the room. Sincerely, Christopher Kane

Savvy Interiors completed a beautiful renovation of my teen sons room. It was complete with carpeting, paint & wallpaper, all new furniture, lighting and accessories. It is not only beautiful, it is also very cozy. My son stayed in his room all day yesterday!!! I would highly recommend this wonderful team of decorators and contractors without fail!

Incredibly impressed with Savvy Interiors, Susan and her team. I have absolutely no sense of what my design style is/was, and in a few short hours, Susan was able to identify exactly what my style was AND help me figure out what to do with this new house of ours. Yes, I love the way our first room turned out, but I also love the professionalism, creativity and efficiency of Savvy. I am thrilled with the look of my new living room...and ready to move on to the office!

We bought a house in La Jolla back in Sept 2013 and we've been working with Susan and Shannon over at Savvy Interiors since then. We did a whole upgrade to the house: new custom wood work in the entryway, with custom cushion, new lighting, then we also updated the kitchen with new counter tops, new faucet and repainted the cabinets. Finally, we basically redid the living room from the electrical to the paint and also the new entertainment system. Did I mention she even designed a new fireplace from scratch? it was a a challenge since the layout was somewhat weird but it looks absolutely stunning. Original and brings so much to our living room. Susan is always very responsive and it's really a pleasure to work with her. I have a slight OCD where everything has to be perfect, and everything turned out even better than perfect!! Considering how everything went, Susan is now taking care of the design for our new house addition ;) Highly recommended.

I was Savvy Interiors first intern. For the whole month of January I got to experience what it was like to be in the business of interior design. I couldn't have asked for a better company to work for. They all were so accepting of me and were a delight to be with every day. There work every day was organized and incorporated many different details I never would have thought of. They treated all their clients and myself with the up most respect and only had nice words to say. Not only were they as individuals wonderful, but there work was truly spectacular. The way they worked with all different design styles and were able to always finish with a beautiful final product. They were experienced and passionate about the work they did. I would at any point without a doubt love to have Savvy Interiors help me design my own home and give me tips on what would look good.

Savvy Interiors decorated my bedroom. We had to remodel due to a flood in our master bathroom, I described the type of look I wanted and Susan along with her team nailed it. I am very happy and my husband who had no idea we were working on this decorating project is happy as well. Our room is beautiful and comfortable and we love it!

Savvy assisted with our Master bedroom redo including furniture and bedding, on suite. They were professional yet fun and had ideas I never would have come up with on my own. The end result was remarkable. Susan and her team are easy to work with and they have great professional referrals for specialists for things like moulding, wood floors etc.

We decided to do a cosmetic remodel of our kitchen (new flooring, counters, and painting our oak cabinets) and have had the pleasure of working with Savvy Interiors and Susan Wintersteen. Susan and her staff have been friendly and efficient, and the tradespeople that have been recommended by her have all been top notch. The design work has been exceptional. I was referred to Susan Wintersteen by a realtor/friend who had seen Susan’s work first hand. We had never used an interior decorator before and I was not sure what to expect. Susan and her staff met with us and determined what type of work was needed. She made recommendations that allowed us to update our kitchen, while being cognizant of our budget. She took us to various vendors to choose the materials and made recommendations that helped us narrow down the choices available to us, and suggested colors and material combinations that were unique and gave our kitchen a custom look. There was no push to expand the scope of the project and I really appreciate that. She consulted with us on every decision and really listened to our desires and concerns about the project, and made suggestions that created a beautiful, functional kitchen that reflects our tastes. We are thrilled with the final result.

Savvy Interiors helped design all of the interior of our major remodel on our home. They designed the layout of all the rooms, cabinetry, counter tops, and all of the materials, paints, and flooring that was used. They basically designed the interior of our home. After the home was finished, they also helped select fabrics, furniture, window coverings, etc. We are so pleased with our home and do not know what we would have done without Savvy Interiors.

We worked with Susan and the Savvy team on re-doing our living/dining area. We not only enjoyed the process of working with Savvy, but the results have been fantastic. They have transformed our previously dark and uninspiring space to something light, bright, comfy and a fun entertaining area of our home. Thanks so much Savvy! We hope to work with the design team again in the future!

My name is Elisha Rimestad and I am the Lead Pastor at First Baptist Church of Mira Mesa in San Diego, California. Our campus buildings needed a major face-lift, from a dark golden brown and pumpkin orange Spanish feel to more of a coastal, beachy vibe. We also desperately needed to update our kid’s ministry classrooms as well as our kitchen and multi-purpose room. And so I contacted Susan Wintersteen of Savvy Interiors, and thank God I did. Susan and her project manager, Marla Vandling, did a fabulous job overseeing this project for us. They spent time helping us think through colors and themes for our campus projects. Susan was thorough and professional and detail oriented. What can I say, in the end, Susan brought her “A” game and delivered the goods and I was extremely happy with the results. Thank you Savvy Interiors!

Susan and her staff Marla and Shannon at Savvy Interiors are very professional and have a keen sense of style and trends to make a home welcoming when showing as listed for sale. I work with them as a Realtor and it is important to stage the homes for sale without them looking "staged". Personally I used them for my own home when I got the bug to make my house look as nice as they make my listings look. They always have great suggestions for my clients and implement them perfectly. Staging helps me sell the home faster and at a better price.

We bought a house and renovated it before we moved in, and used Savvy Interiors to help us. We added all new floors and remodeled the kitchen, all of which were done by Savvy. They did a great job and worked under our tight time constraints, which was great. We had 1 month to do it all so that we could move in, and Savvy got it done, Even though our house wasn't brand new, if felt brand new thanks to their help. I'd recommend them to anyone needing work done.

Savvy Interiors did a wonderful job helping me furnish an empty room in a new home. The owner has an incredible eye for color and placement plus solid contacts for custom made furniture. I am very happy with my beautiful new living room and would use Savvy Interiors again!

I do not have enough good things to say about Susan W and Savvy Interiors. I hired Susan to vamp up and re-design my room. She did an amazing job with incorporating my already existing pieces of furniture and saved me a pleasing amount of money :). All of Susan's employee's are punctual, professional, and a joy to work with. My favorite part of the job has to be my custom bed. Susan's custom bed prices are well worth the quality! The bed was made, delivered, and assembled in a timely manner and is beautiful. I always receive compliments on the elegance and style of the bed. Susan helped me choose a timeless design for me bed and I plan on using her and her team for other projects in the future!

Hi Susan, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I LOVE my drapes, the quality construction, the rod and the installation. First of all, the rod and finials are AMAZING. You said they were gorgeous, but until I saw them for myself I truly didn't understand just how gorgeous. And I love how easily they open and close! Your installer is the best. He installed the rod and drapes yesterday and the drapes were too long so he took them back to be re- hemmed. He told me he had trouble sleeping because he didn't think the rod brackets were strong enough to hold the weight and was trying to figure out how to fix it . So today, we talked about his concerns and he installed additional support that will be virtually inivisable. He is so conscientious and professional. Service like that is rare and such a joy when you get it. And yes I can make drapes, but I am such an amateur compared to the quality of these curtains. I now know when to call in the expert (you!!). Susan, thanks so much. I enjoy working with you and am thank full that you are willing to work with this "do it yourselfer". My husband and I get great satisfaction from the challenge of engineering and making things ourselves. However, your experience and great design sense make our projects a thousand times better. Thanks again and I like look forward to talking to you about coverlet options and maybe handling the finishing touches in our room. Cathie

As a working mom of three with limited time, money and an average (at best) design eye - I needed an efficient and effective design expert who could meet with me on my schedule and make things happen quickly. Susan and her Savvy team delivered. After quickly gaining an understanding of my tastes, the Savvy Interiors team transformed both my living and dining rooms from bland, embarrassing eye sores....to beautiful and functional entertainment centerpieces. All this kept within my budget. I highly recommend Susan and the Savvy team and plan to use them again.

Susan was referred to us by our builder, as we custom built a new home. Working with Susan early in the process, she was able to help us select our flooring and tile options as well as coordinate the look and flow of our home. Susan also helped us design custom tile work for our entry. As we got closer to move in, we had many items left to purchase and worked with Susan and her husband John who is a licensed contractor. We installed new carpet and hardwood floor after closing which saved us quite a bit on our budget over the builder’s costs. As we prepared to move in we used Susan's services for paint, carpet, furniture selection, lighting and window coverings. We've been very happy not only with the design elements that she has helped us with but also with the overall customer service and respect of our time and our budget. We would strong recommend bringing in a designer in the earliest phases of building to help with the cohesiveness of the entire project.

"Of course it's one thing to define guiding ideas and quite another to find the eye, the talent, the resources and the professionalism to bring them to life. We found these qualities... every one of them... in Savvy Interiors. Susan Wintersteen had an immediate, intuitive understanding of our goals, preferences and sense of nostalgia and a robust cadre of artisans and suppliers to deliver quickly, reasonably and competently. It's actually remarkable to watch Susan scan an empty space or a nondescript furnishing or an old table or chair destined for give-away. There's a brief moment of silence as she takes it in, then she talks her client through a thoroughly unexpected, highly imaginative and irresistible transformation: Layout, color, material, shape, texture, detail. Smart Stylish Solutions describes exactly what Savvy provides. While we've lived in many homes in our lives, we've never loved one until now. In large measure we owe that to the artistry of Savvy Interiors. Doug Katz & Kathy Jaray Encinitas, CA

I have worked with Susan and Shannon many times and have always been impressed with their staging abilities. Staging a property can really make it stand out from the rest and buyers usually like the "shiniest penny".

I would highly recommend Susan Wintersteen and her team. Our floors came out beautiful and the whole process was incredibly easy. They added a richness that I had not expected. Her choice of flooring material was superb. The quality and workmanship was outstanding. Her prices were very competitive. Working with Susan was seamless and easy! She was very quick and responsive and attentive to my questions. Her artistic experience is apparent. I would definitely call on Susan again for my home improvement needs! Tina Million San Diego, CA

Savvy Interiors has provided me with excellent home design advice between 2 homes and over the past 10 years. Susan has creative insight, can work within a budget, and can take care of all aspects of interior design. With our recent move we used Savvy Interiors to help us with our painting choices, furniture layout decisions, window coverings, area rug choices and accents. Susan has helped us furnish and decorate our new home and has helped us stay within our budget. Susan is extremely talented and professional. I am grateful for the help she has given me over the years.

Susan and Shannon met with me and my husband and in 1 morning we organized the major furniture pieces and color scheme for our distant condo in San Diego, selected living room and dining room pieces and had a concept for all that would follow. Efficient and great sense of style and works well with clients. I would recommend without hesitation.

Susan seems to have a magic wand ability that one can only be born with! She was able to make quick, decisive decisions that respected our budget without sacrificing our style. We are so pleased with the final product. We did a large project including 3 secondary bathrooms, kitchen backsplash, fixtures, custom built in desk, transforming a loft to a bedroom, light fixtures throughout the house, master shower, furniture, paint, window coverings, refinishing of our stair railing and carpet.

Susan and her Savvy team have been a true joy to work with. I'm a working mom with four small children that has a very tight budget and schedule. They were able to meet my needs on the time frame and budget that I needed with such grace and charm! Susan's eye is top notch and can read a space in a minute while meeting the needs of the usage! Design and small children can mix well! Even the contractor let my five year old "help" when installing our plantation shutters. Love her team as well and we can't wait to use them again for our next project!

We've been working with Savvy Interiors for the past 6 months and have been extremely impressed with Susan's impeccable design skills. We are in the process of furnishing our new home and have relied on Susan from nuts to bolts in the design scheme. We have received nothing but compliments since we began the project. I would highly recommend Susan and her design team. She truly has a gift!!!

I am a homeowner and have recently had the pleasure of working with Susan and her Savvy team on a project that included the redesign of several rooms and living spaces in our house. Susan’s expertise in balancing the aesthetics of design with the functional and practical elements is what impressed me the most and the end results exceeded all my expectations. I felt that Susan really listened to what we were trying to accomplish and then turned around and presented us with options that not only more than met our objectives but also encompassed a “fun” detail or introduced a unique way of making a statement (e.g., through a particularly eye catching accent or a bold use of material on a custom piece of furniture, etc.). Her thoughtful consideration of color, fabrics and other materials as well as how to maximize the use of space definitely showed she has the extensive knowledge to add lasting style and value to anyone’s home. Susan and the Savvy team were also extremely easy to work with, were efficient in responding back to any questions and completed all work as scheduled. Our ability to work together has been so seamless that Susan continues to be engaged in making design improvements to our home and she is scheduled to come back to “stage” a specific area as well as be “on the lookout” for some additional furniture we are looking to purchase …. as such, we continue looking forward to working with her and the Savvy team.

I am the marketing director for Kindred Real Estate. When we accept to list a home for sale everyone here treats the listing as it were their own home - and we would all want top dollar for our home, right? We recently had a listing that we felt could get more money to the sellers if it were completely staged - we have used other companies but none have been as amazing as Susan and her team. The plus: - Very professional and friendly organization - Very quick and accommodating (From start to finish in 4 days including weekend) - Furniture is very nice (no marks, looks new, delivered wrapped) - The team was fast (even helped move some of old stuff to the garage!) - Great follow up The reality: - can be pricey Since our company pays for the staging, not the owner of the home, price is a big factor. Savvy Interiors is not the least expensive, but the saying you get what you pay for rings true with this company - they are A+.

We've used Savvy Interiors for a variety of projects over the years and each time we have been thrilled with the results. Each time we started out with a very general idea of what we wanted. Working with Savvy we were able to clarify our design and make the critical fabric and finish decisions needed to pull the design together. With our busy schedules, the consistent communication throughout the process was key and the end result was fantastic each time.

I worked with Susan the owner from Saavy Interiors on a remodel. I recently purchased a new house and needed some help with paint, carpet, window treatments, furniture etc. Upon meeting her she told us that she would be able to do the work and meet our short timeline and complete the work by our move in date. We moved forward, met with her a few times and she helped us with color and paint selection. We liked her design advice, came up with a plan, but then came the execution...She said that she blocked some dates for the work to be completed using subcontractors. I received an estimate for carpet material from a supplier she uses where she gets a discount which would be passed along to us. I looked it over and the estimate seemed a bit high. To check it out I called a different carpet supplier and discovered that Saavy was charging over $1000 more! After inquiring about this to see if she could match the carpet price or just use the other supplier, Susan became defensive and said "they don't provide the same level of service" then sent me a letter stating that our scheduled dates for the carpet and paint is now booked for other clients and she does not have any openings for another 2 months. Saavy may have a good sense of design and can provide some helpful design ideas, but I would not recommend using them to execute any work. They overcharge for material without concern and are unable to keep their promises.

We purchased a new construction home and hired Savvy Interiors to assist with the decorating. Susan was great! She listened to what we wanted and stayed mindful of both our budget and our style preferences. Savvy has excellent contacts with all trades, and I was happy with everyone she recommended to help us see our vision come to fruition. All in all, it was a great collaboration and I would use Susan and Savvy Interiors again without hesitation!

Our family worked with Susan of Savvy Interiors on a remodel/design project for our home from 2011-2012. We knew we wanted a change, but weren't sure where to start. Susan helped us pinpoint our design style and navigated us through the possibilities that had previously overwhelmed us when we were trying things on our own. Susan listens carefully to her client's wishes and is respectful of those wishes, yet she offers ideas and voices her opinion when needed. The process was actually enjoyable, and we ended up with a home that truly represents our taste and lifestyle. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Savvy Interiors again, and we can't recommend Susan and her team more highly.

I have used Savvy Interiors for SEVERAL different design projects in my home from decor, to draperies, to flooring, to an entire kitchen and bath remodel. Savvy Interiors always provides great ideas, amazing quality and very competitive pricing. Savvy helped transform my house to the home of my dreams and I am grateful for their help and expertise!

Susan did an absolutely amazing job transforming our house into a beautiful home that we are so proud of! She really listened to what we were looking for (flooring, furniture, etc.) and asked us questions as well to determine our likes and interests. I feel this truly allowed her to make the best recommendations and decorate our home with our personality which we love. Susan also was very cost conscious and offered us options at various price points. She took what was an overwhelming and daunting project to us and made it enjoyable and fun!!

I have worked with Susan on at least 3 major projects and several smaller ones. I have found her to be very efficient, professional, innovative and respectful of my budget. She always has a great idea or the right color in her head. I have had many complements on her work and have referred friends to her often. She has an arsenal of craftspersons (painters, carpenters, upholsterers, etc) that are all excellent and she provides an interface to them that helps you get what you want without stress. Susan is that rare individual who can balance a professional career along with caring for herself and her family as well as contribute to her community through volunteer work. This means that on rare occasions, she may not be able to drop everything and rush to your side, but we have always finished our projects on time and on budget. She is a pleasure to work with and I give her my unreserved, highest recommendation.

Savvy Interiors took on quite a mission with our project. We have an older home, eclectic style and a tight budget. Every step of the way we were provided great ideas, patience and cost effective solutions. The room turned out perfect and I plan on using Savvy Interiors for every room in the house!

I cannot say enough good things about Savvy Interiors. I bought a house two years ago that I took from completely tuscan to completely transitional with the help of Susan and her team. They have the ability to make your "dream board" come to life! Susan is a master at mixing and matching prints, colors and textures. She has incredible resources for custom furnishings and build ins... all within budget. I am so proud of my house, and I get compliments from all my guests. This should say it all: I took pictures of my interior design to a favorite store and asked them to provide a wardrobe that complimented my house!
