Sacred Living

Rob helped me make my bedroom into a healing sanctuary. With his transformational re-styling, he has created a place for me to rest, relax and rejuvenate. The room is unrecognizable! Peace, tranquility, and serenity have been borne from chaos, clutter, and confusion. Gone is the edginess I felt when I went into the space in the past...now my room is calming and lovely. Rob has helped me use light, aroma, color, and sound to fundamentally change the way I feel and to restore my equilibrium after my long days.

We have had the privilege of working with Robert for the past 17 years. He has re-designed existing spaces in our home, as well as designing new spaces during a comprehensive remodel. Rob does an excellent job listening to the lifestyle needs and budgetary requirements of his client and creating a vision for a space that’s functional and inviting. His choice of colors, textiles, and furnishings are impeccable. Our friends and guests always comment on his lovely designs and our family is the recipient on a daily basis of the way he weaves beauty and warmth with functionality. We are consistently delighted with the outcome of Robert’s work; he continually exceeds our expectations. I highly recommend Robert Esterley for any of your home and lifestyle design needs.

Rob sketched out a plan to up date our house as we prepared to downsize. He created the look the house will need to bring top dollar at sales time. He did not forget to surround us with comfort and joy as we age in place. You are not going to find anyone who will care more about creating a tranquil space for you and getting it right, then Rob Esterley. It does not matter if you donʻt have a huge budget. By merely rearranging pictures on the wall and the positioning of a few chairs my guests thought Iʻd refurnished the whole family room. As I meditated in my sacred healing room this morning I not only gave thanks for daily blessings, but for how Sacred Living Designs has blessed my life.

Robert Esterley is an observer. He has this unique gift of walking into a space and finding it's potential. Today, perhaps more than ever, we all need an environment to really LIVE and LOVE in. We need a space to be ourselves, to be loud, to be quiet, to raise our family, to create memories and celebrate our connections with the closest people in our lives. Those amazing people that transform us. Robert Esterley is one of those people. Robert creates environments that encourage and represent your lifestyle, without overpowering it. You can't learn this stuff. You must be born with it. Robert's gift is creating sacred spaces and he will find the heart in your home. My family has worked with him now for over 15 years on several properties, both Los Angeles and Kansas City, and each time has transformed our house into our home. I have referred him many times and he has been equally adept at working with my family and friends - from 8 years old - to 80. I highly recommend giving yourself the opportunity of working with Robert - who, in return will give you the gift of creating your very own sacred spaces.

The article, "Planning Peaceful Spaces", written by Robert Esterley, addresses and defines the importance and impact of having a space in your home that reflects calmness and tranquility when entering, which has a huge reflection on your emotional state of mind. As Mr. Esterley points out entering a room that is organized, clean and free from excessive noise will minimize your stress levels. The beautiful designs in the Laguna Beach magazine were amazing. Mr. Esterley captured the necessity of a holistic design to create a warm, peaceful and happy environment. Robert's creative vision, designed several warm and inviting spaces throughout my home. Friends and family are always commenting on the welcoming feeling created by the color choices, textures and continuity of our home. I would highly recommend Mr. Esterley for any of your home design needs.

Robert designed the entire interior of our home with outstanding results. All the spaces are both elegant and quiet at the same time. One of Rob's best qualities is that he listens to what the client really wants, rather than imposing his own ideas, although it is always worth listening to him as his ideas were often getter than our.

I have had the pleasure and honor of working with Rob over the past two years on creating a sacred home. With an extremely hectic business life, my home has become my sanctuary for healing, contemplation and rejuvenation. While I had worked on my house for several years previously, Rob brought an entirely new perspective and dimension to it, which I can only describe as angelic and magical. Rob has the rare skill of being able to hear your soul and interpret that in physical form. He worked with what I already had - furniture, paintings, plants, candles and my collection of trinkets, rocks, shells, cloths and other collectibles - and put them together in what I can only describe as their most magnetic and energetic space and place. He has created sheer magic and continues to support me, giving me the confidence to hear my own inner messages and continue with miraculous creations.

Robert is a true visionary with a gift for transforming ordinary spaces into sanctuaries where inspiration, restoration, and actual healing can take place. Our experience began with Robert’s natural rapport building skills that allowed my wife and me to bond with him in a way that revealed our inexplicable desire for each living space in our home. Somehow Robert’s intuition allowed him to perceive our needs for sanctuary resurgence and inspiration. The unique bond he formed with us has actually engendered the creation of a sacred space reflective of each of us and is already imbued with the astonishing power of positivity and resurgence of mind & spirit. Although we are still in the initial stages of the project, my wife and I have already noticed the calming and inspiring effects of his work.

Far exceeded our expectations,. Our home was one of 3 projects we worked with Rob on. Now our home truly feels like "our home". We find it welcoming, calming and just comfortablle to be in. Such a wonderful journey is hard to wrap up into words. Forever grateful our paths led us to Sacred Living and Robert Esterley.

My wife and I have worked on three extensive projects with Robert since 2004. When we purchased a new home he created an amazing interior design that is still striking a decade after completion. Several years ago we embarked on a significant construction project and expanded our home - Robert once again created a truly spectacular design . He carried the theme from the main house forward and added a multi design and sensory experience in our large pool and rec house along with an outdoor furniture and living plan. He is just finishing work on our Hawaii Condo and we are thrilled with the fabulous plan he developed for the complete redo that makes this gem on the Pacific a truly wonderful resort get away for our family. During each project Robert was delightful to work with. He was confident in his ideas but reacted well when we adjusted or changed what he proposed. His grasp of design is remarkable and he was able to create precisely what we wanted but might have had difficult fully describing.
