What Clients are saying
"I think that Sand & Stars Design has all the ingredients of being that jewel found in the sand. We built a home in Lake Tahoe and used Lauren for her interior design services, and that included from beginning to end. I was so comfortable working with her and found her to be our strength.
Her guidance and advice was beyond what I had envisioned that I would need. I was fortunate that she understood our budget but that she knew where we should stretch our dollar with our aesthetics or taste. It was due to her knowledge in the field that we could make decisions that the builder requested and quickly respond, as we were not there on site. In fact, she was our advocate with the contractor and the architect. She could pencil a picture for explanation on the spot, draw a new additional idea to scale or give us the best places to visit for raw materials.
Then at the end there was furniture, carpet and window covering, all in keeping with our intention from the beginning, which helped me tremendously as I tend to like so many beautiful things. A home is a huge investment and it is important to have someone schooled in the industry that can really see the whole concept, even if you think you are that person. Experienced, young with fresh ideas, smart and capable, are words to describe her and, of course, a great sense of style. Tahoe turned out perfect with her at our side!"

"I searched for a long time before I found a designer in the Bay Area, I knew immediately when we met I made the right choice. We did a total re-make of our kitchen and Lauren was there with designing choices that made our kitchen look spectacular. Her choices for counter tops, tile and colors have been very helpful in creating a unique look. She has many contacts and will go the extra mile for her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone who will be remolding any part of their house. I plan to use her when I do some decorating changes in my dining room and living room."
