So many things went well! I was particularly impressed with how deeply you understood my specific needs right from the start. You really took the time to listen and grasp the unique requirements of my work as a therapist conducting online sessions. You understood my desire for ample book storage without making the space feel overwhelmed by bookshelves, my preference for a minimalist aesthetic, the need for functionality, and the importance of staying within budget. Your suggestions were always insightful and helpful, never pushy, and I consistently felt you were advocating for what would genuinely work best for me and my space. Also, your own enthusiasm for the project was wonderful to see and made the whole process more enjoyable.

"Shannon and Ana handled the details of the build out and design of our new headquarters in an efficient and organized way that drove beautiful results and allowed time to focus on the smaller details that delighted and delivered an inspiring space. The reduction of staff time, stress and my own capacity as a small business owner were tangible ROI’s to working with SBaird design."

"We appreciate your help in building this beautiful house. The design really captures the location, its spirit and our taste. We also felt your love and care along the way. We wouldn’t live in this stunning house without you."

"We've relied on Shannon and Anna's services on a number of interior and exterior projects of our 1960's mid-century home. They have a talent of incorporating our ideas with an aesthetic that is both complementary to the home's mid-century roots with a sense of timelessness style. And it is a true talent, which is why we repeatedly seek and recommend her services. Most recently, they helped us in a total master-bathroom remodel advising and assisting on virtually every aspect - from the overall layout, to the wood and tile work, to the lighting and fixtures. As usual, it came together spectacularly in a way that not only met our needs and wants, but also integrated well with the home and era. We highly recommend her services and look forward to working with them again in the next project. "

"Ethereal. I once used the word "ethereal" to describe S. Baird Design's influence over our kitchen remodel. Then I looked it up. "Extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. Even better. "

"I have purchased and remodeled several Commercial and Retail buildings over the last 20+ years and I can honestly say I have never worked with a more dedicated and talented team than Shannon and Anna at Baird Design. Their tremendous focus on their client while delivering the project on time and on budget was incredibly impressive. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any Design Project you are considering."

"After significant contemplation, we decided to remodel our 1920's Bungalow with three guiding principles: retain and restore period style, make efficient use of space and maintain a light interior. From the first conversation with Shannon, we knew she would be the right partner to support us on the journey and help us achieve our vision. Her calm, professional communications style, attentive and curious questions and energizing ideas won us over. Throughout the project Shannon and Anna were caring, patient, steady, reliable and trusted consultants and intermediaries, as needed, to translate ideas to our contractor. All whilst maintaining a positive and encouraging energy. It is gratifying to own a piece of history that has been returned it to its former beauty, we carry deep gratitude to Shannon and Anna, for bringing equal balance of expertise, passion and heart to our home remodel project."

"It is always a pleasure to work with Shannon. She deeply understands our design aesthetics, has amazing taste, and an extensive list of resources. Shannon is extremely efficient and detail oriented. I admired how well she keeps up with current trends and balances those with more classic elements. Everything Shannon helps us with turns out to be stunning, she truly a design saint!"

"Working with Shannon was complete and utter joy. She helped with all the design elements within the space, from lighting, to furniture, to all the finishes including tile, paint, hardware etc. What would have been an extremely challenging and stressful process instead turned into the most enjoyable part of the project. She was always available when I needed her, and I appreciated the speed at which she got things done. I value her design skills tremendously and I especially value the friendship that has come out of working together. I cannot imagine doing a future project without her input. "

"In designing our guest house, we had to balance our vision of creating a modern living space with the strict guidelines of the Irvington historic district, and the idiosyncrasies of a 1904 Craftsman. This was not a remodel, but a reimagination. Working with Shannon and Anna was a pleasure and an inspiring shared journey."

"Shannon and Anna of S. Baird Design were a pleasure to have on our Team. They distinguished themselves in their commitment to the Historic Preservation of our Mid-Century Modern building. They honored the architects’ vision for the original building while creating a space with their colorful design. Their commitment to the design aesthetic was holistic from review of the historic plans to the selection and placement of furniture and fixtures. S. Baird Design provided detailed and prompt communication. They exhibited fantastic follow through and tenacious research. Their vendor relationships added value to the project in the quality of design input through construction execution."

"Wanna try something fun? Ask Shannon Baird what kind of kitchen faucet you should use and sit back while she rattles off three great options off the top of her head. Or ask her if there’s a more affordable option for that ridiculously expensive but beautiful Design Within Reach table lamp you’re coveting. Or tell her how you’re thinking about using bamboo floors and remember that she installed some in a house ten years ago. She’ll tell you how they held up, what has changed in bamboo flooring since then and why you should choose one manufacturer over another. If you live in New York like me, she’ll do it over the phone with the delicate sounds of a Stumptown latte being made in the background! Basically, what I’m saying is, Shannon has been at it so long that you get to benefit from the confidence and experience that makes her job appear (and feel) effortless."

"Working with Shannon and her team was essential for our kitchen remodeling project. We had vague notions of what we wanted but lacked the means to truly conceptualize all that was needed including what was within out budget. There were just too many elements to deal with. Then… Shannon and team to the rescue. Shannon helped us with everything from the creation of the overall vision to the smallest details, and as we all know there are many devils in those details. She is an excellent listener with a deep knowledge of what is available, suitable and possible. There is a universe of options and having Shannon as our guide through all of that was well worth the investment. Finally, we are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen and we would highly recommend Shannon and team, and we would not hesitate to work with her again on future projects."

"Shannon and Anna are truly wonderful. They helped my husband and I with a remodel design for our basement. They spoke with us about our needs and wants for the space, took all the measurements and returned with a thoughtful and comprehensive design plan. Working in real estate I know how important layout and design are when considering a remodel, since too many remodels can feel out of touch with the rest of the home or just uncomfortable. After reviewing our design plan in depth we couldn't find single thing we wanted to change, it was perfect."

"Just wanted to give you an update on our house post-color-consultation. We painted the outside the colors you recommended and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. OMG do I love the rest of the house (with all new interior colors). The ‘constellation room’ turned out beautifully. It changed the feel of the room entirely. You did an amazing job - my family loved all of the colors and my friends have all loved them as well. Thank you!!!!! Well done, Color Queen…well done."

"Good design is inspiring, but the art and science of great design creates a life-changing and soul-shaking impact. Shannon Baird, Anna Carmel and the team at S Baird Design are truly great designers and artists; the spaces they grace are changed not only by their hands and minds, but with the loving intention they infuse into each perfectly executed detail. Shannon, Anna and the team know that each client is an individual soul with distinct needs, and whether they're designing and branding complex commercial spaces, crafting custom solutions for residential customers, or offering spot-on color consultation services, it's all done with vision, class, empathy and impeccable style. When you're in an S Baird Design space, you feel it -- everything is right, calm, centered; both alive and balanced. Anyone who is lucky enough to get to work with S Baird Design is fortunate, indeed."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Shannon Baird on several occasions, including assisting in the design of my kitchen/family room, interior and exterior paint color selections, and smaller projects such as decor/window treatments. In each instance I found Shannon to be creative, responsive, and carefully attuned to our lifestyle, attitudes and budget. I would not hesitate to recommend Shannon to someone looking for assistance with their home."
