Cheryl gave me great insights into furniture placement and a few other design needs. I used her suggestions with great success. She was so easy to work with. My interior is eclectic and a bit curated--not cookie-cutter-showroom look! I was happy to find someone who can work with creativity!

Details: Design of 3 - 4 rooms • Living room • Bedroom(s) • Dining room • 1,500 - 2,000 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Furniture selection • Window treatments selection • Accessories / art selection • Traditional • Eclectic • My home, venue, etc.

Thanks so much Randi! You have collected beautiful furnishings over time. It was my pleasure to lend a design eye and help with space planning. I'm so glad you're happy with the results!

You need Cheryl! We were faced with an unexpected move halfway through the pregnancy of our first child, downsizing from a single family home to an apartment that was half the size. We knew we needed help to shed nearly half our furniture and design our new space. We interviewed multiple interior designers and knew from our first phone call with Cheryl that we wanted to work with her. She is professional, knowledgeable, creative, and easy to talk to. Cheryl was with us every step of the way throughout our move - from coming to our house to help determine what furniture we should take vs. sell, measuring our new space, meeting us for lunches downtown for design planning, joining us on shopping trips to look for new pieces...we could go on and on. She listened carefully to our needs and designed a space that reflected our personality and felt like home. She also ensured our furniture was baby-friendly...something we were not thinking about as clueless, first-time parents. We are so lucky to have found her!

Details: Design of 3 - 4 rooms • Living room • Bedroom(s) • Office space • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Color palette / paint selection • Furniture selection • Window treatments selection • Accessories / art selection • Midcentury Modern • Craftsman / Farmhouse • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you so much for taking the time to writing this wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure working with you both. Thanks for trusting my vision; it's really the best compliment when I hear that I was able to create a space that reflects your personality! Hope you have many memorable moments in your new space with your little one!

I love my living room with the new drapes and hardware Cheryl helped me with! It's a big room with several windows, and now it looks great. Cheryl was extremely responsive and helpful. I loved being able to look at samples and decide on fabrics and hardware in my own home. In addition to helping me with the specific project we were working on, Cheryl also offered some other helpful tips on how to warm up the room. The whole process was a very positive experience, and I would recommend using Via D'sa Interior Design for anyone who needs some help sprucing up a space.

Details: Design of 1 - 2 rooms • Living room • Less than 500 sq ft • Window treatments selection • Midcentury Modern • My home, venue, etc.

We hired Cheryl for a major job. It was a complete redesign from scratch of a very large kitchen and a powder room of a historic San Francisco single family home. We interviewed a number of designers and Cheryl was the most thoughtful, well put together, creative one we met, even compared to those that had 20+ years of experience or famous clientele or magazine features. Naturally, we had very high expectations. Our budget just for cabinets was $60k to give you an idea. But it was a tricky job - you couldn't just pick a bright white kitchen since it would not match the vibe and well preserved original woodwork and trim of this 100 year old home. We wanted it modern and beautiful, but timeless enough to fit the vibe of the home. We wanted it bright but also with multiple colors. We wanted it functional but fun and warm. And more requests on top of that too. Cheryl came with multiple interesting options. Her high level thinking is impressive. And then her ability to piece that together with the "micro details" -- literally down to the grout color and the exact height of the crown molding piece in quarter inch increments -- is what makes her really special in my book. The kitchen and powder rooms are both stunning and high end, and yet we came in overall slightly under budget no less. Overall, I do have 1 regret with Cheryl - I regret that I did not just hire her for every single part of the house that we remodeled! I have already mentioned her to a close friend for their mid year remodel and plan to recommend her as highly as possible to anyone and everyone I know. She is an artist that is brilliantly creative on top of being a warm, kind, patient (very patient) person. We feel privileged to have her hand in our forever home. If you are looking for a designer for a job small or large (or very large like ours), honestly, I would not even bother interviewing others - hire Cheryl if she's available. Period.

Details: Design of 3 - 4 rooms • Kitchen • Bathroom(s) • 2,500 - 3,000 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Color palette / paint selection • Contemporary • Midcentury Modern • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

Facing my 5th move in recent years, I knew I needed help in the vision department when finally settling into my latest apartment. Even though I’m renting, I wanted my new place to feel like a home, especially since the pandemic has me spending so much time here. Cheryl was the breath of fresh air I needed to get inspired. She attentively worked through all my very specific preferences to help me select new furniture that I love for what she calls my “eclectic oasis.” Her trained eye and professional opinions gave me a great foundation that I never would have come up with on my own -- her carpet choices alone make me happy every day! -- and she was a patient sounding board whenever I wanted to insert myself into the design process. It’s always exciting to see Cheryl's curated Pinterest boards, which helped me develop a sense of direction about my own style, and she was so receptive to feedback that I felt like a collaborator more than a client. My favorite part was when she came over to help me place all my artwork. I trust her when she stops me from making rookie design mistakes, which is exactly why I hired her, and I hope to continue working with her as my budget allows.

Details: Design of 1 - 2 rooms • Living room • Bedroom(s) • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Furniture selection • Eclectic • My home, venue, etc.

Suzan, thank you so much for your heartfelt review. It makes me so happy to hear that you felt like a collaborator more than a client. I love working closely with my clients to bring out their personalities in their homes. And I'm glad you're happy with the result!

This consultation provides a sense of the client's needs & expectations, budget & timeline.
