One of our clients said to us, "Other designers shun you if you disagree with their 'superior intellect'." We exist to break that mold by. Time is precious to us all: We believe the best way to make our clients' home a true reflection of who they are, is to take time to fully understand their personality, lifestyle, and what they value.
We break down the process of design step by step so that it's systematic yet creative. Each decision builds on the previous one and our clients are never bogged down with the minutia of details recorded behind the scenes. Organization is the backbone which allows our vision to come to life. One person can't do it all, so we keep everyone at SDS informed so that our clients always have someone to contact.
They get the benefit of having a point person with the backing of five professionals cumulative experience. Collaboration is key to the best designs. Fundamentally great design starts with the plan. We pair this plan with custom designs that incorporate finish and furnishing selections made through the course of the project.

We believe in the convergence of great design and building a new relationship. Uniqueness and variety make design engaging; so why not see each individual for who she is and begin from there. The people we work with want a "forever home" that uniquely mirrors their personality, aging elegantly and gracefully, full of life.
Based on our clients' unanimous feedback, we're letting everyone know that it's a great idea to have SDS involved as soon as the architect starts drawing. They have the technical skill to see simple changes that can enhance human use of a space, save money or provide greater impact to the space. Small tweaks can have massive affect on the final installation.
There is a poetry to good design, but good poetry doesn't start with a blank sheet of paper and every word in the English language. You can't write a poem by randomly flipping through your dictionary, dropping your finger on the page, and grabbing whatever words it falls on. Think back in your life to special moments, holidays, birthdays, celebrations, reunions, moments of profound laughter, meaningful glimpses of your life.
We are always on the lookout for wonderful designers who share our heartbeat and desire to work hard through a thousand details to create beautiful spaces with us. We have a variety of solutions in place for people who live outside of Fredericksburg, but our main office is located right in the heart of our vibrant downtown.

Amy and her team have been fantastic to work with. Amy was involved from day 1 and made a huge difference in our long distance building process. She took care of all of the construction details and ensured everything was as specified. Her interior design capabilities are extensive and she was very creative and proactive when unforeseen difficulties would arise.
SDS operates with the highest amount of integrity and professionalism. Thank you Amy, Kaitlin, Cary, Shari and Allison for making our home a beautiful and functional space for our family.

Amy has been a delight to work for and know over the years. Her thoughtfulness and intentionality are mirrored perfectly by her efficiency and absolutely passionate skill when it comes to that perfect meeting of architecture and decoration. She's a designer at heart, taking time to really know people and designing spaces that reflect who you are. That's something special!
