Testimonials
Alisa, Client in Kentfield, Marin County “ballonSTUDIO led the full renovation of a 1950s family home in Kentfield, Marin County that had never really been updated. I interviewed four designers before meeting Sabra Ballon and immediately knew she was the right fit. She understood and shared my vision, and never tried to impose her own.
Sabra was essential in helping me work through what felt like a million decisions: tile, slabs, paint, flooring, window coverings, grout, exterior colors, and the details I didn't know to think about. She also integrated our family's heirloom rugs, furniture, and artwork so the house feels both fresh and full of history.
I could not be happier with the result. There is almost nothing I would do differently. I recommend Sabra and ballonSTUDIO 100%.”
Private Client in San Francisco “Sabra immediately impressed us with her high-value, high-impact ideas. She’s a great listener with a definite point of view, and she respected our budget while helping us make the ‘right’ trade-offs so we invested wisely and got the greatest value.
We were concerned about privacy and discretion and Sabra and her team ran a top notch business that had systems in place to make us feel protected in all the ways that are important to me and our family.”
