“We hired The Modern Vic to redesign our three bathrooms and powder room. We worked with Sarah, The Modern Vic Founder and Principal Designer. Sarah has a great eye and smart, sensible ideas for making spaces both beautiful and functional. Her calm competence makes working with her a pleasure for clients and contractors alike, and she thoughtfully incorporates all perspectives and concerns to achieve an impeccable result.”

“If it weren't for Sarah and The Modern Vic, home remodel project would never have happened. We needed to renovate our home from top to bottom, but didn't even know where to begin. The project felt so big and overwhelming and we have never done anything like this before. Once we found Sarah, the project really started to take shape. She held our hands through the entire process, from finding an architect, sending us contractor recommendations, helping us find our "vision," to being on site for deliveries and installs.  She even talked through placement of doorstops! 

Sarah and The Modern Vic made this process so painless.  Everyone always asks me what my husband and I fought about during our renovation.  Thanks to Sarah and her team, we didn't fight about anything! 

The Modern Vic helped break ALL the decisions into small, manageable pieces after spending time with us to really understand what we wanted our home to feel like. If my husband and I disagreed on something, Sarah helped lead the conversation to find a compromise that fit the needs of everyone. My husband and I now joke that we can't make a single decision in our lives without consulting Sarah. 

Sarah was great with working within our budget, helping us prioritize where to splurge and identifying areas where we could save some money. We went big in the kitchen and the primary bath, which look amazing. But in spaces where we saved, everything still looks great thanks to her finding us classic looks at a great deal. 

All of our friends comment on how great the house looks. Sarah did an amazing job creating a cohesive look throughout the whole house. Neither my husband nor I know anything about design, but we knew how we wanted our home to feel. When you walk into a space that Sarah has created it just feels amazing. I can't tell you why it looks so good, but I feel it!

Sarah and her team’s dedication to our project was unbelievable. On multiple occasions, they came to our house to receive deliveries.  As a project manager, Sarah had all the tough conversations with subs about redoing work that just wasn't up to our standards. She has an incredible eye for detail, able to catch all the issues that I wasn't able to see right away.

I am so grateful to Sarah and The Modern Vic for all of the time, energy and love they  put into creating our house.  It’s a beautiful, welcoming, comfortable and functional space. Sarah is a true partner who is committed to helping you find and create your vision.

We just wrapped our bathroom renovation and we could not be more pleased the results! Working with Sarah at The Modern Vic was invaluable. Our space is small and we thought we would have to make major sacrifices.  But no! Sarah worked her magic and figured out how to get us just what we wanted.  In our early discussions, Sarah took in all our ideas and turned around a design that is both beautiful and functional. And, she was with us every step of the way.  I can’t recommend the Modern Vic highly enough!

I have worked with Sarah and The Modern Vic on multiple projects to beautify and improve the functionality of our home. Sarah is an exceptionally talented interior designer, specializing in a unique and sophisticated modern Victorian style. I have consistently been impressed with Sarah’s ability to blend the elegance and intricacy of the Victorian design in our house with our modern sensibilities, creating spaces that are both timeless and contemporary. What sets The Modern Vic apart is the meticulous attention to detail they bring to every project. In the design of our home, Sarah and her team incorporated key Victorian elements such as ornate patterns and rich textures, and then seamlessly integrated modern pieces we adored, bringing clean lines, minimalist concepts, and state-of-the-art amenities for a timeless home we love. Sarah listened attentively, ensuring that each space not only reflected our style, but are also incredibly practical. I highly recommend The Modern Vic to bring beauty and elegance to your home!

“Sarah is a true visionary. She worked on my kitchen upgrade and came up with a plan that was both refined and functional. She’s a great listener, open and honest, and was conscientious of keeping my preferences in mind throughout the design process. If you are looking for an interior designer, look no further.”

When my husband and I purchased our first home, we hired The Modern Vic for a small construction project, color consulting and interior decorating.  We wanted to add some personal touches so our new home would reflect our style and feel like our own.  

Although the project was small, there were many little details and challenges Sarah and The Modern Vic helped us resolve.  We needed to fix an awkward closet and add an entrance to our back sunroom.  Sarah helped us hire a contractor and painter to do the work and helped to oversee the project from start to finish. She also found a perfect match to the doorknobs in our home for the new door so it looks like it has been there forever.  Sarah also chose paint colors, furnishings and decor for a few key areas to polish up our space.  Sarah navigated our differences of opinion and helped us come to agreement on a design plan that tied old and new furnishings together in one cohesive look.  We’ve received many compliments from friends on our new home thanks to Sarah’s help.   We highly recommend The Modern Vic and Sarah!
