Can we go back in time? I love Design Inc! Really miss the combination of Sarah and Tommy!

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

I LOVE Sarah and I think she is transitioning ...as noticing its like she does not really want input from others as much as just someone there silently getting her drift and playing along...maybe so they GET IT and run with it. Like trying to duplicate herself? It’s just uneasy feeling ...even with Tommy around the island cabin he seems disempowered. The partnership with her husband on projects seem to be transitioning into a new model. She has a lot on her plate. And who knows ...but I get it.

[@jmfs8738]

@@jeanlaubenthal698 No. I don't get it. Most of us live where there's another person. Design requires taking into consideration other's interests and creative contributions. I don't get the 'yes' wo/'man' thing Sarah is doing. Boring to watch and not helpful when trying to design our own place.

[@katebc9148]

Sarah and Tommy have a special bond. I do miss them working together. Some of those fabrics would be ones I would not have chosen, but one thing I have learned from Sarah and team is…try it, it will look great. Of course, Sarah is in Canada and I am in crazy land USA, so…keep the videos coming, even the older ones, because I need the education. LOVE Sarah’s style.

[@mrses44]

I've watched Sarah's various shows for years, and I've never seen her miss a step. She's truly a decorating genius - on top of being flat out precious!

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

Lol... came back to see the dining room. I saw a blue and white set of dishes and have fallen in love with this table scape.

[@dorothymitton7602]

Love how Sarah approach’s things, her comments are so kind and sweet.

It would be so nice to watch all 4 seasons of Sarah's house. Haven't watched it in ages

[@bbrosser694]

It happens every time; I think that Design Inc. has done its best work. I love and adore this redesigned Living Room and Dining Room! Everything about this family's spaces is beautiful and welcoming.

[@katebaxter1160]

Sarah Richardson is a GENIUS designer, especially when it comes to finding the right colors for a room. I love her choices of soft blues and greens. Such a gorgeous makeover!

[@stardustgirl2904]

Check out Rebecca Robeson, she's a sophisticated designer, and her work is amazing! She has a channel on KZbin, and resides in Tulsa Oklahoma!! She's so great 👍 America designer!

[@4everyoung24]

Could have worked with that rug. Especially since the homeowner loved that rug. Could have just repainted those red chairs too. It would have still looked great and the person who has to actually lived there would still have the things she loved. I usually love Sarah’s work but I think she went for the more TV ready look than using her skills to suit the client’s wishes. The furniture looks “well shopped” like she went to home goods and bought some stuff. It could have looked just as put together with that rug and those chairs.

[@susanalbanese832]

I love Sara Richardson. She was the first TV designer to use an eclectic mix of furniture leaning towards the modern farmhouse style that Joanna Gaines picked up and made mainstream. This was an old episode. I hope she does another series with her crew…..

[@adhc8560]

I wish I could afford to have Sarah do my house. Her designs are outstanding.

[@TravelersWarden]

The dining room looks fantastic! The pastel green/blue living area isn't my taste, but if the homeowner loves it, that's what matters. Also cool to see what Sarah can do on a tight budget.

[@kross2143]

This has to be an old episode and some color preferences aren’t super compatible with what’s preferred today.

[@lindaortolano7837]

Hi Sarah! Can you say "miracle worker"? Amazing! You never disappoint! :)

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Sarah's vision for the coffee table bench would have been perfect; she's amazing at letting go when someone else makes a mistake. I really admire that about her.

Yay, Abode! Thank you for another Sarah Richardson episode ❤ Keep 'em coming!

[@kathleenmichelet6493]

Sarah does her best work on a tiny budget.

[@janesimmons8201]

My take-a-way...flip the rooms, up-date curtains, add some fresh paint and a new slip cover to coordinate a new color scheme. This makeover could have cost a fraction of the $15k budget.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

But it would have looked nothing like this, and you wouldn't hire a designer to do that little.

[@janesimmons8201]

@@thehungrygoldfish Exactly! This family needed this makeover. Everyone has to do what's right for their household. My dining room has a couple armchairs and a coffee table since I tend to just have one friend over at a time and my living room is very cozy for movie nights. We all have different decor needs for our budget and how we actually live.

[@karenmitchell6814]

At 8:54 I was sure when Sarah said that narrow stairs were a worthy foe, she was about to rhyme that with window! 😂

Sarah I love your show and this is wonderful so I can see something new again 👏🏻💛 thank you I love you sure I love your design 💛

[@maryoleary2037]

Love the dining room; don't like several things about the living room. Who wants to sit on the couch looking into the appliances in the kitchen? For unity I would have had the same fabric for drapes in both rooms. I also think the photos hanging in oversized frames look out of whack. But yes, this is all a huge improvement over what was there originally.

[@jhutch1681]

Love the living room drapes; and the dining room drapes and window seat, especially set against the beautiful blue and white dishes. The table is great with the slip covered end chairs. Not a fan of the slime green or the overpopulated picture gallery with all the ribbons, and with the larger coffee table the room looks crowded. Don't love either rug. Somehow the living room comes off as both busy and dull. The wall treatments are great in both rooms.

[@ClaudiaFlores-su8zr]

Beautiful!!!! Love it

[@delladearest2511]

Love everything but the dark green throw pillows on couch. Love her color palette and there’s no brown!

[@SJ-gg8ci]

I love to watch your videos get inspiration 👍

[@janiceeugena]

Gorgeous

[@jerrycummings2821]

That is NOT a "plate rail" it is in fact what you used it for . . . it's a "picture rail" and those photos are genius!!

[@spiritofsalt6780]

Did you see how badly cut it was when it reached the door. The finish was terrible.

[@christineh5790]

I think if you look closely you will see that it is indeed a plate rail? The wider board on top of the ‘picture rail’ has a groove cut into the middle which stops a plate from sliding off. You can see it in detail if you pause the video at 20:17 where the rail ends.

[@noracharles80]

The photos would have looked better without the ribbons hanging them from the rail.

[@hutoxipatel3610]

This is one of ur best transformations. Hats off

[@chelsea.1234]

I love watching Sarah and Tommy! The moment when they realized they were matching was too funny 😂

[@jmfs8738]

How about a Tommy show? I think of him as more authentic. Let's see what his design looks like with a partner.

[@margoz7251]

I have been so influenced by these blue and white looks! Thankfully she was so ahead of the curve that the style still works, but it's a challenge to negotiate a world of (the dreaded) mid cen mod with the gentle curves of a more romantic coastal look.

[@igloozoo3771]

When was this filmed? Personally I love the use of colors in both walls and curtains and furnishings, but it seems the current TREND in 2021 is white walls, white curtains, white sofas....blah blah blah. I love colors.

[@victoriak8536]

$15000 for 2 rooms is absolutely crazy!!!

[@thehungrygoldfish]

I mean, to be fair, she is a professional interior decorator who was hired by a client. If the client had a $1500 budget, they wouldn't bother contacting a professional. And there's no such thing as interior decorators for poor people.

[@susanmyers6375]

Fabulous 👌👏👏👏👏👏

[@michellepereira2328]

I like the colors but it seems too busy. I prefer something more sophisticated like most of the other things Sarah’s Design Inc. does. This is good for a young family though and if the client is happy that’s what counts.

[@mrxgaming7807]

fantastic

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

Think the green was kinda forced in this project. Loved the blue and making her dishes work. After diner coffee might be moved into other room. And, same blue and drapery fabric would have worked. Keeping the two rooms more cohesive might have been richer looking. The gallery wall looks busy ...but I love the concept...maybe have all at same level or not so many..or maybe it doesn’t work in this room. Painted stripes in both rooms less expensive? But i do love me some wallpaper.

[@rhondamcknight2596]

I miss her shows on HGTV

[@mbaljak1]

Honestly, I'm shocked by the variety! That's really too much. Like you couldn’t decide which pattern you liked more so you took it all !?

[@christinarobleto1786]

Not a fan of the room switch, the living room is robbed of natural light & the dining room is not used enough to justify taking up a valuable space, but it is their home.

[@braintnt]

The dinning room is perfection, but the living room would've been on a different level had they used Sarah's green for the sofa and the coffee table was black. The only thing I dont like the hanged picture, they look like clutter.

[@maryoleary2037]

Agree about the hanging pictures...too cluttered. I would have preferred a horizontal piece of art, not necessary expensive, but something that pulled in all the colours of the room and went along the sofa.

[@valkyriesardo278]

The designer considers 15,000 a tight budget for this makeover. The designer is outside of my budget. I might find some ideas in this video but not likely. The end result is lovely but I have two reservations concerning functionality. The fireplace becomes useless given the position of the dining table. The white dining chairs look miserably uncomfortable. The red chairs were removed because a coat of white might chip. I see no problem with stripping off the red paint first. I don't understand why the contractor designed a window bench that was no deeper than a book shelf. Does the man not know his craft? What I like best is the solid paint colors in various shades of green and blue. The colors scheme is based on the fabric chosen for the drapery. I don't understand why they did not work from the existing sofa which was both attractive and good quality. Why commit the palette to a drapery print when there is such a vast selection of fabrics? I sew well enough to replicate that slipcover for the sofa. So I cringe at the 500 they spent on what seems to me an unnecessary slipcover.

[@EtreTocsin]

It is for the TV drama that “mistakes” happen and the owners wanted a change which is why they went for a different color scheme. And yes most of us rehular folk would never be ab,e to afford a designer. $15000 For furniture paint labor etc…is almost nothing.

[@bjspyder4148]

When your room is part of a TV show, time is as much of an issue as money. But I think it would have been worth the time to strip and paint the wood chairs and skip the plastic ones.
