Wow, those toddlers will make mincemeat of that uptown fabric in no time!

[@randaelzeini1895]

Absolutely

[@judyshallstrom415]

Not if they are taught to respect dad's property. You don't have to let children trash your house. And, yes, I had two rambunctious boys. They were respectful and could play anywhere they wanted. But no feet on the furniture, eating only at the table and picking up their toys and putting them in their rooms were requirements. Outside play was free for all. And, their friends had the same rules. Now they are adults and they take care of their belongings

[@evafort9441]

Evan if that were the case, it is easy and not costly to change the material of the bench seat.

[@angelayoung5798]

Given what we saw the window bench fabric doing in the reupholster's shop--not believing it held up to two toddlers. I am not feeling or seeing 'beach'. WAAAY more fancy than kick back relax at the beach. It was great fun to see one of these shows I haven't seen many times.

[@Tuntee]

I love this show especially how cute and relatable Sarah and Jessica and Tommy are.

[@terimccartney778]

I love how SR says ' maybe is woven' like she puts it out into the universe and then she finds the perfect item.

[@jocosus3]

This entire family (including the grandparents) is adorable 💗

[@angelabatterman6381]

This room is stunning but so useable. Color is so tricky, people see it so differently at times. Love this palette.

[@scottcheron]

I still love Design Inc. what a surprise! An episode that I haven't seen.

[@AbodeLDS]

Stay Subscribed! Plenty More To Come!

[@scottwilliams5705]

I've said it repeatedly, Sarah is so talented and has impeccable taste. She won't lead you astray if you're willing to listen to her and let her expertise guide you.

[@V.Hansen.]

I think the chairs were 1 stripe too many, but in general I loved this one.

[@CCCreations48]

So enjoy Sarah's styles

[@christinewilliams7005]

BEAUTIFUL

[@marianadimetry2767]

Oh wow what a huge transformation!! Love it 😍 beautiful, practical and elegant 👌🏻

[@adrianabarnard6402]

This episode really makes me want to hire an interior designer as much I try my house just don’t have the wow factor like this house does with the amazing decor

[@jeannieelliott8519]

Very nice elevated design. The height of the drapes is a fantastic idea. The colors still reflect beachy seashore living. The room doesn't read yellow. It's just warm & inviting. The mirror is AWESOME! YOUR OREGON VIEWER.

[@shaindyhorowitz3783]

This design is so beautiful and elegant. Don't see much of that anymore but it is certainly very classy.

[@Ava19288]

I absolutely love this design!! I have likes several of your videos but this is my favorite!!!

[@skdoremi6666]

It's not yellow! And it's bright and beautiful,adding those touches of warm colours also help to blend it well. It's for sure looks high standard but I do feel that this project was more in the safety range, nothing standout or like a focal point but I like it a lot❤

[@paulapeterson-warnock3030]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Where’s Tommy? 😂

[@norazilahmohamedsaid9900]

Very elegant and spacious. Love everything in the decor.

[@CarlaLR74]

A rare episode of Design Inc that I didn’t watch.

[@Kathleen5429]

I don't understand the 2 different striped fabrics of the same colors. The eyes don't know where to look, IMHO. I think the window bench (& pillows) stripe should have been a sturdier performance fabric in a solid or other pattern for when the kiddos are sitting and standing on the window bench everyday.

[@WBCRO]

Nice colour pallet but the end result looks rather formal. Also, I would have switched one of the THREE striped fabrics in the living room to a different pattern. Paisley would add some interest.

[@realgirl2704]

Oh man, that is one gorgeous room! I want it!

[@jokeschaap3505]

Please give us more time to admire the "after" shots.

[@asifyoucare]

Sarah and Jessica episodes are always interesting. They don't seem to mesh well ...(personalities)... But they end up with some fabulous rooms...

[@Waffles84]

Gorgeous

[@mimosasforone2556]

It's too yellow for me. I would bet dining benches are a most regrettable choice .

[@ginacrusco234]

What I like: much better use of space in the living room, as it now appears square rather than long and narrow; the beach tones that don't overdo it; most of the fabrics. What I don't like: the last minute fabric used on the two armchairs. On the fence about the tile in the entrance hall, as it looks a bit faux-Tuscan and not at all in keeping with the desired style.

[@brendaryan306]

Great tip on beefing up window trim. Is there storage in the window bench? Loving the soft velvet sofa.

[@judithblanchard6938]

Great design ❤️

[@Lorjarca]

Timeless!

[@suzanneschwartz4566]

Beautiful. You can live in beauty even with small kidos

[@mauricepowers3804]

Does the bench have storage if not it should

[@cunajo1]

The wife is the living image of a young Veronica ("The Birds", "The Sound of Music") Cartwright.

[@jemreandeau3583]

I wish you wouldn’t show the reveal at the beginning of the video

[@lunaholiday8585]

Lordy, I do not like benches as seating; it’s not fun if you’re in the middle and have to ask everyone to scoot out so you can leave the table.

[@victoriabenavidez4086]

Always beautiful

[@NurseEmilie]

It's frustrating how you show little snips and fast views of parts of the room but not the whole room enough. Talk about the little parts of the room while showing the whole room. I don't get to see the whole room on your videos until the last.

[@mariacuomo7646]

where is that extendable dining table from?

[@charitycollins9572]

I have a table like that for sale. Hidden leaf table that expands from side to side instead of length wise

[@SM-yd8hq]

This is such an old one, it’s so interesting to see where homes have come since. While I probably liked this at the time, it feels so stuffy and over done now.

[@feliciapritchett262]

Hi Sara how to add style and extra light to a small living combo with only one small window

[@captinzoom]

if they still own this home. i wonder if they have redone this yet

[@sue8511]

Nice

[@charlottejameson8924]

The Veely ads go on forever!

[@sincerely_sphesihle]

Sarah, you made this house look expensive. impressive

[@kbechtel33]

Cool

[@phonella1188]

Why do you show the final reveal in the Intro? Spoils the video, IMHO.

[@KattEyl]

How could a firefighter afford Design Inc?

[@thehungrygoldfish]

He’s married so dual incomes

[@janiceingle2131]

Will we ever see new episodes?

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Um, Design inc ended like 15 years ago so no lol

[@jayburris6252]

The yellow and blue strip chairs are really unattractive.

[@Wee162]

Oh boy that dark wood is going to show everything! Swiffer everyday!

[@dwood51321]

I wish they would stop showing the finished room(s) at the beginning of the show. When you do this, there really isn't a reason to watch the episode. We've seen the room.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Fine, then don't watch it, god. Karen. This show ended like 15 years ago. What the heck do you want them to do? Edit all the videos just for you? God.

[@pearlperfume28262]

I think when Sarah deco this hse she is actually killing 2 birds woth one stone. Its for future investment of the couple want to move hse. It has high selling value

[@mariabarradas4235]

Either Sarah is having another baby or this is very old, lol.

[@SM-yd8hq]

Very old.

[@AA-iy4gm]

This show is so choppy and the hosts don't have much charm, the narrator has dull comments, overall its cold and boring.
