Daheim Design

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!

Merry Christmas

Around our house, the Holidays revolve around breakfast. My husband is adimate that we have the right groceries to make 'big breakfast' for every day that we are off during our Christmas break. We tried a few new things this year, including our very own Spinage, Egg and Bacon Sandwich and some old favorites like Crepes, B&G and Buttermilk Waffels. Merry Christmas!

White Appliances?

White appliances are still prevalent in the Midwest, mostly because we are stuck in our ways and they are practical. But every kitchen designer would advise you to go with Stainless Steel. So, will white appliances ever make a come-back? Whirlpool introduced their White Ice Collection and I haven't quite made up my mind yet. The straight lines and sleek handles might just have me persuaded that I could use these white appliances in my kitchen designs. In fact, I think it's refreshing. Only time will tell if this 'old' new trend will catch on.

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.
