Daheim Design: November 2012

design to make you feel at home

Hello! My name is Sarah Wolfgang and I have been a professional kitchen and bath designer since 2004. I spent 15 years in Western Europe and consider Austria my home. It's from my childhood there that I tap into my imagination to create unique and personalized spaces. My philosophy is that great design becomes more than the sum of a space's aesthetics and functionality but transcends both. That is why I make it my mission that every client feels daheim (German for "at home"). I have a passion for strong, functional design and this is my log of inspiration and current projects. Comments are welcome. Enjoy!

November Favorite

Came across GREY FURNITURE recently and love the eclectic feel of their furniture. The style is very geometric with a soft masculine structure that doesn't suffocate or feel too heavy. I also like the use of metal. I'd love to see it in person someday...

Wine and Food Expo, DSM 2012

Since I moved to Royal Flooring in Altoona, I've been swamped trying to get them caught up and myself up to speed. It's been a whirlwind and to top it off we (and by that I mean I) got put in charge of designing two displays for the Wine and Food Expo. What a great oppertunity - I was thrilled! No style restrictions - just a few guidelines to follow and a few appliances to accomodate. Laura helped with colors and doorstyles and the rest was pretty much up to me. The most stressful part was pulling the whole installation off in only TWO days....and it went beautifully! Here are a few pictures of my favorite display.

"You set a higher standard for us all and we are most appreciative. You are a leader." -Rudy Boschwitz (Home Valu Interiors, Owner)

"Sarah was excellent to work with, and she is very knowledgeable about the products she sells. She was able to answer all of questions and provide great advise, and she always returned our correspondence in a timely manner... You are very lucky to have such a dedicated and upstanding designer on your team." - Sadie Landwehr (Homeowner)

"Along the way I have heard much about you from a proud and pleased Mary O. and I must say I agree: you are a true professional; you are making people's lives better by improving their homes - the way they live. You're the Best!!" - Rudy Boschwitz (Home Valu Interiors, Owner)

"Her designing skills are great, her knowledge of operations and getting things done is fantastic, and her customer service skills are outstanding. (Sarah just makes things happen and if she says it I have learned I can count on it.) I would recommend home value to a friend any day as long as Sarah was involved because I know customers will have a good experience. -Tray Thomas (Homeowner)
