Saucy Design

Anna is a joy to work with. She is one of those colleagues that reminds one of both the pleasures and benefits of collaborative work. I have worked with Anna now on several of my projects, where she has provided comprehensive color schemes for both interior and exterior. Consistently I have found her to be flexible, creative, and highly professional throughout the process. Her enthusiasm for color is palpable, and brings an excitement to the creative process that helps to inspire ideas and motivate everyone involved. All too often within the design profession a "prima donna" ego can be an issue to contend with, but with Anna the focus is always on the design, on serving the design above all: Making the collaborative vision work. I can't recommend Anna strongly enough.

Love Anna and Saucy Design! Highly recommend her! We worked with Anna, based on several recommendations from other people. And we were thrilled with the results! Anna did a wonderful job of incorporating our furniture and style from our previous home, into our new home. Considering our existing furniture, Anna was able to help us select new floors, paint, carpet, light fixtures for our new home which compliments our existing furniture so well. We are so pleased with the results that we are going to utilize Anna's services for additional areas (carpet, drapes, furniture upholstery, etc.). She does a great job of understanding your specific taste and style and bringing you a few options to choose from (making the design process much less daunting) and she has fantastic taste. Every home I have seen (that Anna' has worked on) are each different (depending on the home owner's style) but absolutely lovely! Our home is traditional meets contemporary, which is considered transitional, but Anna's skills set can address all styles based on your preference.

Very recently, we had Anna Cesario of Saucydesign help us design our new kitchen to fit our needs. She took the time to understand our requirements, our taste and our budget and provided the options for cabinets and other material for us to make the final decision. Anna did all that in a very methodical and efficient manner. She worked very closely with the contractor from begin to the end to make sure everything is installed to perfection. Our kitchen is stunning, thanks to Anna’s exquisite taste, work ethics and design. In addition to the kitchen, Anna helped us with planning and selecting the furniture, lights, carpets and color palette for the family room and 2 dining rooms. Everything she selected was unique and beautiful at the same time practical. We were very fortunate that we met Anna. She is passionate about what she does. Anna was always there for us. She visited us several times to make sure the work was going smoothly. She arranged all the deliveries promptly so that there is no interruption to work. She did all of this will her usual cool, calm, and collected demeanor. More than anything else, she treated our house as her own and that made a huge difference. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Anna was to work with. Her enthusiasm and relentless work ethic made her a pleasure to work with. Anna would be a great asset to anyone who is looking for a designer.

Anna is a true design professional! She is through, timely, and detailed orientated all the while having a true-gift of color, space, fabrics etc. She had a unique ability to understand our style and translate it into something beautiful. I've worked with her on the inside of my home and would work with her again. I highly recommend Anna!

Working with Anna is amazing. She is a professional and personable designer and she just "gets your style immediately". She is very focused on space and what artwork, furniture and rugs works or does not work within a space and/or room. She is quick to respond and is always available. She kept our project moving smoothly, on0time, and checks-ins with all tradesmen. Also, she knows which tradesmen to use and not to use. You can be very involved with Anna or you can let her run with your project. We gelled with her work-ethic, her quickness, and her perfectionism as a designer. I would highly recommend Anna to any of my friends or neighbors.

On our first visit I knew Anna of Saucy Design was going to be "special" From first impressions, she was extremely professional and gathered alot of information about my tastes and budget. I was very impressed by her note taking and warm caring personality. She never over sold me and later returned with a proposal and a board to share her vision with me. We ended up painting the whole inside of my home, changing the look entirely with new laminant floors, lighting and new furniture. Also in the bedroom, office , bathrooms and patio she also added her own special touches. She is extremely patient and keen on follow up either by email or phone and I was never left wondering what was going on. Having a demanding career myself, she took alot of stress of my plate-taking a big project and making it easy to handle!. Her contractors were all 5 star and Im recommending her to all my friends. She is the "Secret Sauce" to any remodel!

Saucy Design did a superb job in both upgrading and furnishing my new condo in San Francisco. Some examples: (1) Furnished the entire condo with new furnishings, many of which were custom made. (2) Functional and beautiful closets and storage areas were custom made for the bedrooms and bathrooms. (3) Redesigned all of the balconies, including the installation of all plantings and unique planters. (4) Updated the kitchen with a stunning glass backsplash. Saucy Design is very creative, responsive, and easy to work with. For example: (1) All of my expectations from design concept to execution were fully and successfully accomplished. (2) Exceptional guidance (e.g.: materials, furnishing selections, etc.) and support occurred during the entire process. (3) Excellent customer service occurred during the entire process. I am delighted with the beautiful and functional condo that was created for me. I recommend Saucy Design without any reservations.

Anna designed our house from the interior paint, to every finish down to the knobs and towel bars, tile, and furnishings. Seven years later, we love our home. She knows how to see how you live, what you like and make a house a home.

I first met Anna from Saucy Design when I had already booked a painter to re-paint the interior of our Victorian home in San Francisco and realized, with no time to spare, that none of the paint colors I had chosen were going to work. Choosing paint color is overwhelming. Who knew there could be over a thousand colors of white? With a million things going on, and very little time to spend sifting through all the choices, I was in a real pinch. I called Anna and she came in right away and provided expert color advice-she could tell by looking at our style and talking to us what we were aiming for and just what we needed to do. She had great recommendations because she really knows her paint colors and knew from past experience what they would actually look like up on our walls. She also provided us with color options and color combinations that we would never have come up with on our own. Since that mini-crisis, I have used Anna several times to assist us with several design updates and we have been thrilled with the outcome every time. She is fast, efficient, creative, easy to work with, and very well priced. Worth every penny.

We consulted with Anna Cesario of Saucy Design in connection with on an extensive remodel of our home. We were working with an architect on the project, and needed to control our costs. I also had strong and definite ideas on what I wanted to do for the interior design, but needed some guidance on a few critical decisions. Anna was terrific and really added value with her expertise and feedback on paint colors, combinations of tile/paint/artwork/furniture. For example, she suggested a pale violet wall color for our Master Bath which I never would have considered on my own. It was the perfect complement to the bedroom colors (blue/green) and clean white/gray tile of the bathroom. She also helped me sort out some bold color choices while maintaining a flow between the various rooms. When we needed a recommendation for a wallpaper hanger, she provided one. Anna is creative, comfortable with color and pattern and very encouraging. She is also the consummate professional always arriving on time and well prepared. She does not allow her ego to interfere with providing great service cost effectively. I would definitely reach out to Anna again for future design challenges, questions or resource referrals. She is very reasonable, talented and fun to work with.
