Our experience has been wonderful from start to finish. Sara has a real gift for seeing the possibility in even very uninspiring spaces (our basement) and she created a design that is beautiful, comfortable, and exactly what we hoped for. Can’t recommend Storie enough!

We could not be happier with our decision to work with Sara and the Storie Collective team to remake the first floor of our home. First, Sara has a gift. Her taste is flawless and we trust her to make design decisions without hesitation. But more than that, Sara is able to translate our style preferences into the most stunning versions we could imagine. The result is a home that feels like us and our family... only so much better! Second, Sara is the consummate professional. Sara works har

We worked with Sara and Storie Collective on the renovation of the front of our home, two bathrooms, and our stairwell, along with furnishing our living and dining rooms and entry. From the start, Sara’s design ideas solved problems we didn’t even realize had solutions. Her suggestion to close off the connection between our living room and back family room completely changed the flow of the house. Now the back feels private and functional for family life, while the front has a welcoming sense of

Sara and her team are a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness around functionality, style, and livability are so appreciated. We chose to overhaul (and relocate) several components of the interior of our first floor in order to make room for a mud room, a pantry, relocate the dining room, and relocate and start fresh with a new kitchen - all in an effort to modernize an old house to improve functionality for a young, active family. In addition to the long list of it

Sara and her team did an excellent job architecting and implementing an overall design strategy by adopting our style preferences into tangible and actionable options we could decide between to move the project forward. The furniture and fixture choices were high quality and cohesive, melding together in ways that can only be conceived by a professional until the outcome can be visualized in person. The Storie Collective team also did a great job of managing the various vendors involved in the p

We worked with Storie Collective on a full-scale renovation—kitchen, three bathrooms, new flooring throughout, and a complete refresh of the paint, moldings, furniture, and overall aesthetic. It was a huge project, and from start to finish, Sara brought both creative vision and practical expertise to the table. What really stood out was how collaborative the process was. I never felt like I was being pushed in a direction that didn’t feel right; instead, my opinions were genuinely welcomed and

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Sara and our Storie Collective experience. We chose her because of her style but we are closing our project loving her for so much more. She had a clear point of view (both aesthetically and technically) but was open to our ideas/perspectives. She was patient with our endless questions and a delayed timeline. She went above and beyond on project management / guiding our contractor but did so in a respectful manner. Ultimately, she helped us create a

My family and I recently completed a significant renovation of our Capitol Hill row house, and we are thrilled with the results achieved by the interior design team at Storie Collective led by Sara Swabb. Before we began the project, we knew we needed a professional to ensure the project was cohesive and done right the first time. After a good deal of research of local design professionals, we engaged Storie Collective for an in-home consultation. We were immediately confident that Sara and h
