Universal Design in Truckee.

“Sarah is wonderful to work with. She's creative and very responsive. We are looking forward to our next project with her.”

“I initially found Chloe through her instagram account @boxwoodavenue. I could tell right away from her photos that she has impeccable taste and would be exactly who I needed to help bring my vision to life. She has helped me with several areas of my home including complete remodels of my kitchen and second bath and I am so thrilled with how they have turned out. She has also helped me with smaller jobs like design and furniture choices in my family room and office areas which have also turned out so beautifully. I love how she presents her designs which include 3-d renderings that make it easier to see how things will look when they are done. I wanted to be involved in the design process and she was so great about including me. When choosing finishes like faucets, tile, furniture, etc. she gave me a choice of 3 different options that would all work beautifully and then I could choose the one that I loved the most. She was so great at sourcing materials for me and even helped me get a quartz slab for the kitchen that I had fallen in love with, but that wasn't available locally. I would absolutely hire Chloe in the future for any of my design needs and would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family. People constantly remark about how beautiful our house is when they visit and I know its thanks to her!”

“Carol is creative, intuitive and listens to her clients needs. Her resources range from the traditional to the unusual. I also found her resources to be high quality and priced competitively. I highly recommend using Carol and her design services. She's a fun loving individual and pleasant to work with!”

“Lisa redesigned our den and kitchen , with space planning, furniture selection, and lighting.fixtures. She found things and had ideas that were just beyond my expectations, a real pro at visualizing and putting fabrics and things together. She worked with several things we wanted to keep and merged it all beautifully. The rooms look amazing now! We are so happy with her work!”

“I have worked with the Aspen Leaf design team on multiple projects. The service they offer is first class. They listen to our clients needs and wants and fulfill this with a very creative and unique design. As a builder I really appreciate their quick response to any questions or changes that may come about. Aspen Leaf has the ability to find materials and products that no one else can. I highly recommend this interior design group for their knowledge and expertise.”

“We just completed a kitchen remodel and wanted to find a unique piece of art to for our new kitchen (and to cover up an electrical panel). Keoki was able to create a custom size of a fantastic digital photo for us. They even created a digital rendering and put the new picture on a photograph of our kitchen.... Lynn was fantastic... helped us through every step of the process. Wonderful to support local artists... and to get such a fantastic piece of unique art. Thank you!!!!”

“We bought our house in Atherton two years ago, and hired Paschal O'Reilly of PORI Interiors to decorate the entire house. He is an absolute dream to work with and I could not recommend him more highly. Not only is he extremely talented with a very good eye for proportion and color, but he also provides an exceptionally high level of customer service. In the past we've worked with a number of designers who can select beautiful pieces, but he's far and away the most organized and detail-oriented designer we've ever worked with. The process of working with him was easier than I could have imagined. Another quality I really admire about Paschal is his ability to mix high and low. We ended up choosing some high quality custom pieces, and also some great looking accent pieces from inexpensive retailers. He's not a design snob, and he can get excited about all beautiful pieces--whether they're expensive or not. Along those lines, he also helped me select fun and inexpensive pieces for my children's bedrooms and he understands that not everything needs to be high-end to look nice and function well. All around I simply couldn't recommend him more highly, and couldn't imagine a more positive working relationship.”

“Millie Sullivan the professional designer for interiors by design has an incredible talent for pulling your entire home together. She has extended knowledge about the most current colors, tiles , flooring ,Cabinets and all other facets of design. Millie is a unique designer who is professional and patient with her clients to ensure she meets the exact look that they want to achieve!”

“I have had the honor of working with Cheryl on several projects over the last ten or so years. Her ideas and concepts are innovative and original. She can think out of the traditional box when it comes to design and utilization of materials. She can present her ideas clearly and is open to suggestions to make our fabrication more efficient. I look forward to working with her on future projects.”

“We recently worked with Jessica of Summit & Sands for a complete re-fresh of our Truckee vacation home. Jessica worked with us replacing about 75% of the existing furniture in the home plus paint, carpet, drapes, lighting, artwork and linens. She was a pleasure to work with – she always kept our wishes in mind and was great at providing alternate choices. When there were furniture pieces that we wanted to keep, she worked at incorporating them seamlessly into the design. The whole home flows really well together and has a very welcoming updated feel – “mountain modern.” After everything was selected, Jessica and her team completely took over and coordinated all of the work needed with tradespeople and delivery. We did not have to do a thing except walk into our home when it was all done. Jessica and her team were great at communicating and keeping us up to date on the process – they were extremely professional to work with. I would highly recommend Summit & Sands. We are so pleased with the results – each stay at our mountain home is comfortable, relaxing and inviting a huge part of that is the environment that Summit & Sands created for us.”
