Converting An Island Cabin Into A Dream Cottage Retreat | Design Inc
Ойын-сауық
The Design Team has a huge challenge ahead. Karen has a beautiful cabin she wants to turn into space away from her kids. She wants a more cottage vibe, and she wants it done yesterday. With Karen wanting the Cabin finished quickly, the team also needs to have it finished before Winter freezes over the roads. Making it impossible to travel to this tiny Island. Can Sarah Richardson and her team do it?

And when she says Thanksgiving she means October, not November! 😂😃
Sarah does such beautiful work. Some of these clients gets on my nerves. Sarah's got lots of class and patience.

I agree with you.
Sarah's designs are always bright and happy 😊😊😊
I never understand these cottages that don’t have bathrooms. I know people can walk to the main house, but if they are at 2, sometimes 3 times a night bathroom visits like I am, that just wouldn’t work for me 🤣🤣🤣

Sandra WestleyUK, I’m absolutely with you on that one, I just couldn’t manage without a bathroom on hand,
I liked the cottage but thought Ella the Dog was absolutely 💯 adorable!
What a lovely easy going client.❤
I like that saddle bookshelf. You could add a piece of stained wood on the bottom edge where the "saddle" would rest, a book could be placed open & not fall to the floor. For example, an excellent place for a large dictionary, a family Bible, a large map book of the area, or even framed pictures of family members. Terrific Design Inc.❤
I’ve never seen this episode before, fun fun fun. Also love to see Sarah being a boss, inspiring,
I absolutely love what they did here and I hope the client was sincerely happy. Such a great space for the “lady of the cottage” for sure.
I wish we would see Tommy more.

We see him enough, lol He can't be in every single episode ffs.
The saddle holder doesn't have a lip for resting books on the angled top. But it would be great for a collection of quilts and blankets to be taken to various bedrooms when people need extra warmth.
I loved what the designer who took over, when head designer was gone, picked out! Floral designs were beautiful even if all 3 same room, would not look 'caotic.
😍I'm so excited to see another episode of Design Inc.! 🥰 And, as always, Sarah & the team give a beautifully timeless, classic design of this darling cabin. ABODE YOU ROCK! Thank you for making my day(s) with these!!!🤩🤩🤩
the best things are the fireplace and olive chairs which were already there
I get very excited when there is a upload! ❤️❤️❤️
All your work is so beautiful. I have to say, I love the outcome of this cottage.
I love Jessica PM episodes!! She is the type of designer/PM I'd need [sense of humor, strong leadership skills and overall would make me laugh and smile!]
Karen's a hoot. 3 minutes in and I'm laughing. Fun episode!
Stunning Sarah your team are the best Bravo 👏🏻
This was probably done 15 years ago and it is still gorgeous and I would gladly have this in my cottage today! This why I love Sarah and her team!
Love setting and fireplace... gorgeous start.
Karen is perfectly named (2024 America, for reference). She's lucky to have had SR. Wow.
Gorgeous absolutely Gorgeous 😍
It’s so girly and sweet! Cute!
Love it - where is this heavenly island? and who painted that wonderful beach painting on your office wall? Love it!

Beautiful!
love the end result
Does anyone else hear the pencil scratching 'Abode' and think they're hearing a dog panting? I always do.
Bring Tommy back !
Omg…I could have cried for that sweet Jess…..if I were her I would have quit….Sarah should have FaceTimed her instead of being a bully to her….I cried….I always thought Sarah was nice…..we all saw her true colors….keep up the great work Jess

Not all of us thought Sarah was nice all along. I watch for the designs, but honestly, she is tough to take.
Beautiful cottage but I really dislike a few things. The fabric on the ottoman is horrible as is the saddle rack.
@mdorn6592

Agree. The fabric was totally wrong for the ottoman and the saddle rack was too long for the space and crowded out the daybed
Missed the mark. Too drab and cold feeling. Isn’t a cottage supposed to give off warm and cozy vibes? Now a days, there would have been the addition of a few throws. Those chairs in front of the fireplace are too big and bulky and the ottoman sticks out like a sore thumb. I would have allowed the fireplace to be a focal point and used less bulkier chairs a bit farther apart so as to see more of the fireplace. But, that’s just my taste. As always, I enjoy watching Sarah and the team go through the design process. I noticed in these older clips, the camera never pulls back far enough to give us a view of the whole room from a few different angles to see how coherent it is.
it was Jessica’s original idea and that’s what she proposed at Sarah’s idea
ICK @ those overstuffed armchairs!!!
Jessica should have changed colors of her post-it tabs...neon yellow-lime w a client who "hates yellow"?? Yikes. Fabric-labelling is REALLY important. That's the kind of detail that is why I'm prolly neurotic. Sarah's actually genuine + gracious. More than my boss in Utah was. More like my Calif. boss. ❤
It looks drab. It needs more color.
I wonder why the curtains can't run from the ceiling to the floor? And the saddle holder was original yet too long. Lovely work and gentle results.

Base board electric heating--danger danger. The horse is an easy fix. Move the side table on the far right to the left and the horse would be moved enough to clear the doorway. No doubt the home owner did, or just dumped the ugly, impractical saddle deal all together.

Linda, they do run all the way to the floor on either side of the fireplace and in the bedroom. There's a band of colored fabric about 12-16" high, across the very bottom of the white curtain panels. Bedroom at 17:06 and Fireplace room at 17:35 shows them perfectly.
These are very very old episodes.
Interior designers who assume that the colors or styles people WEAR indicates something about how they want to decorate their homes make a HUGE mistake. Any person who is overweight and dresses all in black is probably not doing that because they love black or simplicity, but because it's supposed to be 'slimming.' Overweight people don't have a lot of clothing choices that they are going to feel good in, so they buy what they can wear and feel not constricted or horrible wearing, NOT because they are choosing what their personal style is or would be if they could wear anything off the rack. I know a guy who has worn nothing but black since hitting adulthood because he can't be bothered choosing outfits that will match every day - anything he grabs from the closet will work together with anything he grabs from a drawer. I buy multiples of the same style and cut of clothes that feel comfortable, but that doesn't mean that I want every room in my house to be designed by the same principle. I can't be bothered spending a lot of time thinking about what I'm wearing because I don't really look at or see what I'm wearing once it's on my body - my criterion in clothes is 'put it on and forget about it' - I don't want anything I have to pay a lot of attention to while I'm wearing it, or worry about keeping it straight or not catching it on anything. But I care very much about the comfort and style of my furniture and rugs and walls that I need to look at every day and that express everything about what 'home' means to me - my clothes do NOT express what 'home' means to me. Clothes that look good with my skin coloring are not necessarily the same colors that I would like in a sofa or bedroom decor. I wear almost consistently linen in summer and linen often doesn't come in patterns, but only in solid colors - doesn't mean I don't like patterns in my decor. I wear almost exclusively wool in winter, but that doesn't mean that I would only want tweed furniture. I can wear a plaid skirt and never want to see plaid in my living room. Starting with how the customer dresses is a HUGE mistake. 'My personal image' and 'What home means to me' can be totally different concepts.
Loved the bedroom, not that keen on the dressing table, l think they could have chosen a more cohesive piece.

This episode is a miss for me. Furniture does not match the house design
Very cure but just too much useless stuff. And no bathroom to me is a useless space no matter how pretty it is
I don't know why Abode keeps posting SR designs from 10+ years ago. What is the point when everything is completely outdated today?

These shows are not just about showcasing current trends. They're instructional. Lots to be learned from good design, regardless the decade. Most of what Sarah does is pretty timeless.
