Popular interior designer Sarah Richardson is joined once again by trusted sidekick Tommy Smythe to help improve the design and efficiency of any space in real-life homes. But the difference this time is the client has little say in the makeover. It's Sarah's job to teach the ways in which she creates environments that are functional, timeless, and eye-catching. Sarah 101 S1 E1.
In this episode, Sarah creates a vibrant improvement to a small living & dining room with new flooring, ceiling paint, lighting, fabrics, seating, and storage.

This is how I got to know Sarah years ago! She included a lot of second hand shopping and updating. This reminds me of those days which I have missed, although I love her bigger budget projects. This is like coming home again for me. Hi Sarah! Welcome back to my budget!

From dark, dreary and boring, this is so cheerful and pretty. I especially like the florals and pinks, and the tiling. Two fabrics on the sofa? I didn't know that was done! With all the ornate and dramatic touches this could have turned out really gramma-ish and busy, but it is beautifully clean and crisp. I love that Tommy thinks of a light setting for cleaning :)

I am a little Gobsmacked by her choices for this make over, why? 4 years ago I bought the exact same floral and pink velvet and two other complimentary fabrics to create my new den space. I have education and training in Interior design and she has always been my favorite designer. I feel honored to know I channeled her so well when choosing my fabrics!

Thanks for flooring info! Classic color is middle of road not too dark or too light , height to intersecting flooring. 1” tile border around edges. Also tip to use bold pattern on something small to not overpower room!

Love Tommy's interaction here. He and Sarah work well together on camera. I would not have gone with the pink sofa as it is just too loud for me in color, but I love the transformation overall in the living room/dining room space. It gives me a lot of ideas of combining different elements in a space to make the whole thing cohesive.

I love seeing the work of this duo! It is always wonderful to realize at the end how all the details, fabrics, etc. "are well attached" to each other in the decor. All these colors are well linked together. They work so well together, the results are there! It's always stylish no matter what customers choose. You should come to Montréal to do some projects :) I would be happy to show you my town house. Three floors to decorate :)

I love this room! It might not be right for my formal living room, but it is perfect for a first apartment for my daughter. I just wish I could find all the great second hand pieces near me (San Diego). All I find is overpriced old junk that was trendy 20 years ago. Abraham’s looks so cool! Maybe I’ll just have to fly up to CA now that borders are opening up. I would add a clear lucite tray on the ottoman to make it double as a coffee table. Could always slide it under the sofa when no in use.

@ginacrusco234 2 жыл бұрын

I adore the outcome and was amazed by how well the daybed works as flexible seating and room divider. I wish that more of the original pieces could have been upcycled, repurposed, reupholstered, etc., as some were quirky and characterful.

My BFF got one. I was so envious. But everyone got tired of it too quickly. It was a very well-made, expensive sofa, so a big shame that it did not please everyone longer. I did learn a decorating lesson, though. And do you know what? People didn’t like sitting on it sometimes even though it was super comfortable-because it often clashed with outfits! Who knew!!!!

I love her personality and work and yes her mix of cheaper, second-hand, or free items with new stuff and an occasional DIY. I do love the outcome of this remake but I wonder if she had any idea how outdated some of these styles would become and then the homeowner will be stuck again in an outdated room, granted it will be 10yrs later and there are some amazing pieces in there that won't age by themselves !!

@poohbear6759 2 жыл бұрын

Sarah and Tommy are such a great team. Loved most of what they did, except for the drapes the dinning table and did think the chaste lounge wasn't a very good idea as it isn't something that is very practical on a comfort level (but it does look nice). All in all beautifully layered.

@lisakilmer2667 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I usually like Sarah's designs, mostly. This one is great for color and cheerfulness (except the drapes - ack!) but it seems way over-furnished for such a small space, especially since they said it was "cluttered" initially. It also seems like a very expensive design that won't stand the test of time. But it's beautiful!
