“My husband and I have worked with Sarah (the owner of Merriment) on several projects at our home. Not only has she been fun to work with, but we are very happy with the end results. Sarah is excellent at helping to select products that most closely match a person's individual style or taste and that allow for the best use of a space. I highly recommend working with Sarah on any interior design project.”

We’ve worked with Sarah to update our kitchen and dining area and we couldn’t be more pleased with the final design.”

“I have worked with Sarah Olsen on a number of design and decorating projects. I could not be happier or more pleased. She is very professional, extremely creative and experienced. She always has wonderful ideas that make sense. She is a really good listener which allows her to propose designs and color schemes. She is so much fun and a joy to work with that I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch designer/consultant. ”

“The designers at Merriment are a joy to work with. Sarah and Sam are able to take the tiniest hint of an idea and turn it into a fully formed vision. They selected items that were beautiful and unique. After the items arrived, I was immediately pleased with the quality of every piece, from the lamps to the mirrors to each piece of furniture. And now having lived with the pieces for some time, I’m even happier with their selections. They make the process very easy with fantastic results!”
— Andrea Backlund
“I’ve used Home at Merriment for a very large project as well as for smaller items from the store. Sarah, the owner, listened so well to our needs and style requests. She helped us pick out lighting fixtures, bathroom tile, wood flooring, bathroom fixtures and paint colors. She was so helpful and made suggestions regarding size and colors we wouldn’t have normally considered but, so happy she did as we went with many of them.”
— Barbara Nickel
“I first saw Sarah''s interior design in a magazine years ago and I have always remembered how much I loved it! I hired Sarah recently to create an office for my husband, redo my office, and now design a living/sitting room for us. What I love is that I can present Sarah with an idea I have, she takes my input and then comes prepared with ideas and options that blow me away! I also feel comfortable with her as she pays attention to my initial budget, and always keeps in mind price points while designing, without me asking her to consider them. She offers beautiful and functional options, and inside our parameters. She loves to mix high-end and medium and it always works.”
— Debra Tourek
“Sarah has impeccable taste and sourced truly unique and beautiful pieces for my home while honoring my personal sense of style. She is a delight to work with and is one of the reasons my home sold in 24 hours after I listed it on the market. I highly recommend her and the team at Merriment!”
— Terri Beckstead
“It's truly been a pleasure to work with Merriment on our home refresh. Sarah and Sam listened to my issues and concerns and presented some wonderful ideas for our main floor. They proposed several color schemes, floor layouts, and waited patiently thru my hesitation of whether wallpaper was really 'back in' and stuck with me through the search for the perfect rug. While we are taking our projects slowly and in stages, we absolutely LOVE everything that we've done so far from the furnishings, to drapery, to wall coverings and rugs. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Sarah and team!!”
