“Can we make the kitchen bigger?” It’s one of the most common questions I hear—and I get it. Kitchens are the heart of the home, and it feels natural to assume that more space automatically means more function. But in reality, a bigger kitchen doesn’t always work better. In fact, I’ve seen oversized kitchens feel awkward, inefficient, and surprisingly hard to use. What really makes a kitchen successful isn’t square footage—it’s thoughtful space planning.

Sheri reached out through our website looking to redesign her dining room and adjacent bar room with a look that felt both elegant and bold. She loved to entertain and wanted spaces that felt elevated, confident, and full of personality. From our first conversation, it was clear she wasn’t afraid of color—and that gave us the freedom to design something truly special.

Some renovations are years in the making—and Misty’s kitchen remodel was one of them. For years, she dreamed of updating her well-loved but outdated kitchen. The space, built in the 1970s, had seen a few small updates over time, but it still carried that old, closed-in feel. Misty envisioned something entirely different: a bright, classic, and luxurious kitchen that felt as fresh and inviting as the rest of her home.

Every beautiful space begins long before the paint colors and fabric swatches. For me, the most important part of any project is the beginning—the part where I get to know you, your lifestyle, and your dreams for your home. That’s where the vision takes shape.

When most people think about a bathroom renovation, they imagine tile samples, new fixtures, and maybe a fresh coat of paint. But there’s so much more that goes into a beautiful and functional bathroom—and that’s where an interior designer truly shines.

When Tim and April Stewart contacted Kendall Sharpe Designs, they were ready for a change. The main level of their home had grown outdated over time, with a mismatched color palette, worn furniture, and a kitchen that no longer fit their needs—or their style.

Spring is in full swing, and for many homeowners, May marks the perfect time to start a home remodel. Whether you're updating a kitchen, revamping a bathroom, or transforming your entire living space, preparation is key to a smooth and successful renovation. Getting organized now can help reduce stress, avoid delays, and ensure you get the most from your investment. Here are six smart steps to take before the first hammer swings.

Paint is one of the most powerful tools in interior design—it can instantly set the tone, improve flow, and reflect your personal style. But getting it right requires more than just picking your favorite color. A professional paint consultation removes the stress and guesswork, offering expert advice and a personalized plan that ensures your home looks its very best.
