So while we’re sharing our design dreams on a limitless budget, I have to add that I would love a design consultation with Sarah Richardson. She is by far my favorite designer on television. Anyone else a fan? I would love to get her opinion on the colors in my house, and I’d like her to design a custom piece of furniture like she does for so many of her clients. If you aren’t familiar with her, she is a Canadian designer based out of Toronto and has 3 shows that currently air in the US on Fine Living. The oldest is Room Service – she tackles a room for a client and always includes a DIY project. Then there is Design Inc. – it is shot like a documentary and follows a client’s project from start to finish. Last but not least, there is Sarah’s House – my current obsession. Sarah buys a house and renovates it from top to bottom – no clients involved in this one. The rooms in this house are stunning! These are some of my favorites from the shows.

I regularly look through Sarah’s portfolio and her tips for inspiration (and just for fun). And if this isn’t enough, you can check out pics from the second season of Sarah’s House and her new show Sarah’s Cottage on HGTV Canada. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that someday these shows will air here in the US.

Sarah provides information about the consultation process on her site, but I think it will be a pipe dream for quite some time. If your dreams came true, what designer would you work with?
I love Candice Olson’s designs; her rooms are stunning! She has a show on HGTV called Divine Design and I’ve seen books by her in Joann’s Home Decor Fabric section. I would love to work with her.
Sarah Richardson is one of my favorites too! I share your dream of getting her advise on my home. I am dissapointed we can not get some of her shows in the US – we are missing out!
I have always loved Dorothy Draper. (Now headed up by Carleton Varney) I love the pairings of multiple patterns, bold colors, old-fashioned elegance and contrast of antique meets modern.
I fell in love with her style when I toured the Greenbriar resort and later found out she is hailed as the first interior designer in America! http://www.dorothydraper.com
I agree with Jennifer. If I had to choose one designer, it would be Candice Olson. I think she is absolutely amazing. She has a great personality too which I think is so important. Candice are you reading this????
I lurve Sarah Richardson! She makes me wish I lived in Canada… just so I could watch her shows the first time around AND shop where she shops!
I love Candice Olson, too! Dorothy Draper is new to me, I’ll have to spend some time checking out the portfolio.
Thanks for chiming in!
