Testimonials
"Julie is outstanding! She expertly blends her expertise with the desires of her client to help make a joint vision come to life. What can be a stressful endeavor actually turned out to be pleasant and rewarding. Julie brought examples of colors, textures and fixtures for our review, making decision making effortless. She recommended a contractor who is the best I've encountered in over 25 years of working on this house. The end result was awesome and we couldn't recommend her services more highly." "Julie decorated my house a few years ago. My friends are still commenting on how wonderful it looks. She was the first decorator to get my style. Thank you." "Professional, personalized service at a reasonable price! Julie designs to your style with up to date materials. She is a pleasure to work with." "Julie was wonderful to work with. She came into a home that had been decorated 30 years before and updated the decor while being sensitive to the fact we were planning on downsizing in the near future. Julie really listened to our likes and updated the look of our home, using most of our original large pieces. Her sense of color is outstanding. Installation of carpet, painting, window treatments and bedspreads were all done and delivered when promised." "Julie Sandman Interiors and staff did an exemplary job for me. I am so grateful for Julie's guidance, great taste and vision in decorating my home. She was always responsive to requests and flexible in scheduling to best meet my needs.

She is so respected for her professional and gracious demeanor that I received excellent service from everyone involved." "I have worked with Julie for years, most recently when my husband and I built a new home. As always, the experience was wonderful. Julie is thorough and professional with exceptional style and design skills, and a keen attention to detail. She takes pains to learn the homeowners' style preferences and create a space that reflects them. Julie is also sensitive to cost, delivering the style we want within our budget. Our new home is even more fabulous than we hoped. I would highly recommend Julie Sandman without hesitation."
With respect to her long time client Fran B., whose testimonial is above, Julie notes, "I've had the honor of working for Fran on 4 homes in Louisville, as well as a condo in Chicago, and each experience has been great! As I've gotten to know Fran better I've been better able to instill her personal style into her spaces. Looking forward to the next one!"
