2. ABOUT THE DESIGNER
SARAH S. SCHRAMM
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
“DESIGN SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A
PARTNERSHIP THAT CONSIDERS ALL
ENVIRONMENTS INVOLVED.
AS A DESIGNER I RECOGNIZE THE
RESPONSIBILITY I HAVE TO MY CLIENTS AND
THE ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS WHY I FEEL IT’S
IMPORTANT TO STAY EDUCATED ON
SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIALS AND
APPLICATIONS. I MAKE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT
TO KEEP SUSTAINABILITY A PRIORITY IN EVERY
ASPECT OF THE DESIGN PROCESS.”
~S. Schramm
3. CARDONA MASTER BATH
DESIGN INSPIRED BY
STILL LIFE WITH MAGNOLIA ~ HENRI MATISSE
THE CHALLENGE WAS TO PROVIDE THE CARDONA’S WITH
AN UPDATED BATHROOM SPACE THAT REPRESENTS
CLASSIC STYLE. THE CARDONA’S ALSO WANTED A SPACE
WHERE THEY COULD GET READY TOGETHER BUT ALSO
MAINTAIN THEIR PRIVACY WHEN NECESSARY. THIS IS
DONE THROUGH THE SPECIFICATION OF UPDATED
FIXTURES, FINISHES AND MINOR STRUCTURAL
MODIFICATIONS.
5. CARDONA KITCHEN
DESIGN INSPIRED BY
THE CARDONA’S NAPLES HOME EXTERIOR
THE CHALLENGE WAS TO PROVIDE A KITCHEN SPACE TO
MEET THE CARDONA’S PRESENT AND FUTURE NEEDS
WHEN THE NAPLES HOME BECOMES THEIR PERMANENT
RESIDENCE. THE CARDONA’S EXPRESSED INTEREST IN
TUSCAN INSPIRED DESIGN, AND DESIRED A SPACE TO
ACCOMODATE THEIR GROWING EXTENDED FAMILY. THIS
WAS ACHIEVED WITH THE USE OF WARM FINISHES AND
MATERIALS, AND AN OPEN CONCEPT DESIGN PLAN THAT
ALLOWS FOR MAXIMUM STORAGE.
7. SUSTAINABUILD
THE DESIGN OF SUSTAINABUILD’S NEW
HEADQUARTERS NEEDED TO REFLECT WHAT THEIR
COMPANY STANDS FOR. IT WAS TO BE A SPACE THAT’S
BOTH PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY BENEFICIAL
TO THE WELL-BEING OF THE EMPLOYEES AND VISITORS
OF THE BUILDING. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED
THROUGH THE USE OF CALMING COLORS AND
NATURAL FINISHES THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS DESIGN.

11. FURNITURE UPHOLSTERY
ANTIQUE WICKER ROCKING CHAIR:
PRIMED AND PAINTED WHITE.
REUPHOLSTERED IN AN INDOOR/OUTDOOR
FABRIC THAT WOULD SUSTAIN ITS LIFE IN THE
SUNROOM LOCATION. I ALSO. CUSTOMIZED
A THROW PILLOW USING FABRIC REMNANTS.
Vintage Henredon
Dining Set:
The upholstery on
these dining chairs
was in need of an
update. I also
added a little extra
padding to the
chair for comfort.
A FAMILY TREASURE:
CHAIR WAS PASSED DOWN FROM GREAT GRANDMOTHER.
THE CHAIR PREVIOUSLY UPHOLSTERED IN A GOLD FABRIC GOT
AN UPDATED LOOK WITH A CONTEMPORARY FLORAL.
