Christine Sheldon Design

We did a complete renovation of a 1925 house in San Mateo Park in 2021. Christine was our designer and was simply a consummate professional throughout the project. She designed our kitchen, laundry, and three bathrooms, as well as all lighting, door hardware and paint throughout the house. Her deep experience shows in her design choices - she pays attention to both aesthetics and practical use issues, always tests fabrics and materials for wear/staining, and her relationships with high quality vendors (cabinets, wallpaper installers) who all showed a lot of respect for her as well. Christine worked to match our style and pushed us a little too - always bringing something that delighted us. We love how the house turned out and recommend her without reservation. She's a true partner and won't let you down.

We have had the pleasure of working with Christine on a major redesign of our kitchen, breakfast room, family room, laundry room and guest bathroom. We could not be happier with the outcome. Christine has great taste, a wonderful work ethic, a positive attitude and she is extremely knowledgeable. She helped us design and select everything from cabinets (including elevation drawings) to furnishings to finishes. The contractors and other vendors she recommended were top-notch. Christine efficiently oversaw every aspect of our project, maintained high standards, was firm when needed and always respectful. She got along great with everyone she worked with. Christine is kind and smart and we have enjoyed all our interactions with her. We highly recommend her.

Christine Sheldon is an amazing & talented designer. She was referred to us, and when I checked her out, she was recommended by other designers, contractors, and my friends in the area. She has the ability to understand each person's specific needs, likes, & dislikes. She's mellow, bright, flexible, creative, and intuitive. She follows your budget. She worked with us during a pandemic with shipping delays. We kept adding to our project. Our project involved creation of a large library, and related deck expansion, partial living room remodel, and construction of a large foyer and entry area. Our house was fully repainted inside and outside. Our contractors appreciated her work and sought out her recommendations. We will continue to use Christine through our next remodels and purchases. She has been a pleasure to work with through the construction months.

It was such a pleasure working with Christine. I had decorated a vacation home on my own, and it was so stressful with all the choices and not knowing the quality of the products. Working with Christine made it easy, as she narrowed the choices, and I felt that I wouldn't be making an expensive mistake. Christine has such wonderful taste and she is so easy to work with. She listens to you, responds back promptly and I love the final product!

My wife and I are two busy professionals with very different decision making styles. She was sensitive and accommodating to both of us, and always went the extra mile to make the result just right. Christine also has excellent judgment and a great sense of humor. She helped us find a reliable high-quality contractor, and did whatever it took to make our remodeling and redecorating experience superb. The finished product looks fantastic and works great!

I can’t imagine doing our project without Christine. Christine was the first person we hired for our very large remodel/tear down. We spent a year collaborating on a floor plan (fixing our wacky layout was quite the challenge) and a year rebuilding/remodeling. Christine guided us through every step… she helped us find an architect, contractor, and cabinet maker and worked with them when needed to get the results we wanted. I am very hands on, particular, and full of ideas (for better or worse). I was always very impressed with Christine’s ability to tell me when she liked my ideas and when “we could do better”. She was always open minded and polite, but yet made sure we wound up making great choices. Long story short, our house is now fabulous. The layout and the kitchen are beautiful and functional. The colors are perfect. We are just now starting to pick out the furniture and look forward to working with Christine to get the furnishings as fabulous as the rest.

If you are looking for a interior designer that spends the time to really understand your needs, stay in budget, and has comprehensive follow through, look no further than Christine Sheldon Design. She was recommended to me from a friend of mine and I couldn't be more pleased. Our initial project was a kitchen remodel but grew into several projects due to flooding in our home. She designed two bathrooms that were in two different budget ranges and a kitchen. She made some other recommendations like tile for the laundry room, carpets, baseboards, appliances, tables, and chairs which were all priced within budget. I never got an upsell which I've had with other designers and she always brought me a design layout with multiple color/design stories to pick from. She listened carefully to my likes and dislikes and quickly honed in the direction I wanted as I wasn't always sure. Her subcontractors were consummate professionals that produce the highest quality work without breaking the bank. I highly recommend Christine.

We have worked with Christine for over a year on a new aesthetic for our house. She is a rare combination of both skilled designer with a great eye while being attentive and organized with prompt follow through and updates. She is a joy to work with and we are thrilled with the results.

We worked with Christine on an extensive remodel of our home, including our kitchen, and were thrilled with the result. She was a delight to work with, had great ideas and remained attentive and within budget throughout. She was able to take our ideas and bring them to life, and even my husband, who was a bit skeptical at first, enjoyed the experience. We will definitely call Christine with any future design plans.

I have worked with Christine over the last nine years on various projects in my home. The original project was my living and dining rooms. The rooms today are still beautiful and timeless. The most recent project was the complete remodel of a guest bath. I am so happy with the end result. The room is even more beautiful than I had imagined. Christine is the consummate professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of design. She is detail oriented and as a result the end project is a beautiful room. Christine is also a pleasure to work with, fun and engaging and I have so enjoyed working on different projects in my home with her. I would recommend Christine in a minute.

Christine has been a huge help on redesigning and decorating several rooms in our home. Thanks to her, our entry, living room, dining room, walk-in closet, powder room, and guest room are welcoming, nicely coordinated, and beautifully decorated. Christine is great with layout, scale, furniture, fabrics, and various styles. She will guide you to make decisions that are timeless, while pushing you out of your comfort zone. She always thinks of everything which makes her a valuable ally in designing your home.

Christine is awesome. She worked on our house remodel from start to finish. From kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, fixtures, lighting, paint color, crown molding, knobs and pulls to flooring, rugs and furniture. She helped us with it all. She kept our project on track and was very mindful of timing. She's easy to work with and very down to earth. Christine is VERY knowledgable of "all" things pertaining to design and interior work. She has a good eye for quality and was very conscious of our budget and goals. Our house turned out beautifully and we couldn't be more pleased with her assistance. I HIGHLY recommend her!
