TESTIMONIALS

I started a whole-house remodel on South Street in Davidson and quickly realized the need for interior design. My architect recommended Collaborative Interior Design. Sandy managed all the details from paint to flooring to fixtures and has a great understanding of the construction process. She was always available at on-site meetings, at the various vendors to hand pick materials, and ad hoc when questions arose. Details are so important to a home and Sandy nailed it. I am thrilled with the outcome.Read More

Sandy did an outstanding job with an update on our old home (which we reviewed in 2018) so when it came time to select someone to help us with our next project - designing our new home from the ground up - we immediately turned to Sandy again. She is the consummate professional who combines her passion for design with her genuine desire to help you achieve your dream. She has extensive knowledge of the entire construction process so was invaluable to us from the initial meetings with our architect to working with our builder to making all of our design selections. She was a true partner, listening to us and working hard to help us articulate our vision and then to bring that vision to reality. As we had never been through a new home build and design process before, we 'didn't know what we didn't know' and her input and advice made all the difference. She kept us on track, making sure our builder was never waiting on us to make a decision and ordering furniture and design elements on a schedule that kept our transportation and storage costs to a minimum but also had us 'ready' for our move-in day. Sandy treated our project as a true labor of love and we will forever be grateful for the time and effort she put into helping us create our dream home.....it's even better than we had imagined!Read More

We wanted to update our new (old) home and have more efficient use of existing space. We found Sandy Kritzinger (Collaborative Interior Design) on Houzz.com and she stood out among others. Sandy understood what we were trying to solve for, brought us creative solutions, and helped us envision things through her design boards that we may not have otherwise considered. The project with Sandy involved a family room and kitchen remodel, as well as working through plans for future phases of renovation/additions. She helped us pull together the architectural/construction, design, and decorating phases of our renovation. Sandy understood our desire to do some of the legwork and installation ourselves to help keep costs down. She reviewed our architect’s drawings for current and future phases; worked with us on the design, selections, and sourcing for the family room and kitchen; and plans for future phases/additions. We used some of the tradesmen and resources that Sandy recommended, and she kept us up to date on the status of each. They were good to work with and we could tell how well-respected Sandy is in the industry. We love the transformation to our home! With Sandy’s help, we have achieved the look and feel of a peaceful and welcoming rustic, lake cottage.Read More

We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our new home. Building a home is such a complex and taxing process. Sandy was instrumental in helping with the design and build our custom home. She was always there any time of day or weekend to help us move forward and assist us with every detail. Our builder had an aggressive timeframe, and making builder selections on time and within budget was a priority. Sandy also took the time to understand our preferred style. Her creativity and eye for detail made the entire project come together beautifully, and she managed to get ahead of as many of the supply chain issues as possible so that we could function in our new home right after we moved in. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and extremely organized and on point. We highly recommend Sandy for any project. We LOVE our new home!!Read More

My husband and I recently completed a full house reno on our 20 year old townhome as it was in desperate need of updating and modernizing. This was the first time we had done a reno and the task seemed quite daunting given all the work involved, decisions required and the fact that my husband and I are polar opposites on the design spectrum. We were very fortunate to work with Sandy as she made the entire endeavour seem easy as she shepherded us through the project from start to finish. She was able to take our disparate tastes and objectives to design around our eclectic art collection and collections from our travels to a create a wonderful haven. Sandy was very patient with us in addressing our many questions, guiding us around the design choices and coordinating with the contractor. We really loved the design boards she created for each room as it helped us visualize how everything would come together. In many instances, we took a leap of faith and deferred to Sandy’s design recommendations when were quite indecisive. We love the end result! Our home is truly a haven now, it makes so happy to look around and see the transformation. If we are ever so crazy to do another full reno, we definitely want to have Sandy as our partner! We highly recommend Sandy, she is a pleasure to work with and wonderful collaborator.Read More
