Classic Kitchens for Modern Living

During Sarah’s nearly 35 years as a kitchen designer, she has worked on a multitude of projects in locations as varied as Connecticut, New York, Palm Beach, Houston, and Los Angeles. Sarah has embraced classicism since Richard Sammons of Fairfax & Sammons Architects introduced her to its language in 1994. Her constant analysis of his work, and time spent studying at the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, including working with prominent designers, such as Fairfax & Sammons, Ferguson & Shamamian, Gil Schafer, and Bunny Williams, helped Sarah to develop an indepth understanding. Sarah and her team approach each project from the basis of a strong technical background that allows them to work beyond the kitchen and into other rooms of the home. A proud member of the Decorator’s Club of New York, which for over one hundred years has continued to evoke a spirit of excellence that symbolizes the best the industry has to offer, Sarah is also involved with The Greenwich Historical Society and a board member of the Greenwich Arts Council. A lover of education and the arts, Sarah is a proud sponsor of the Darien Arts Center and educational lecture series at the Darien Center for the Arts. Sarah has taught at the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and has lectured for the Traditional Home Building Show. Sarah lives in Connecticut with her Husband Charles, son David, and three dogs, Ollie, Maggie, and Beau.
