Arguably, the heart of any home is its kitchen. Whether eating, cooking or simply socializing, the kitchen has a way of pulling everyone together; it seems every party, regardless of its origins, ends there. So when you consider designing or remodeling your kitchen, bath or those other special rooms in your home, there is no such thing as too much consideration. We can assist you throughout the entire process.

Principal and owner, Sandra Gaylord combines her love of design with experience of more than 20 years as an Environmental Protection Specialist. After years of designing for family and friends, Sandra decided to make design with a sustainable focus a full time career. She holds a Bachelors degree in Interior Design from Marymount University in Arlington, VA. During her time in Washington, D.C. she was design assistant to the prestigious firm of Barbara Hawthorn Interiors, noted most for high-end residential work. Sandra’s interest in kitchen design then led her to a position with well-known kitchen designer, Dee David and Company in Virginia. Some of her projects included the Washington National Symphony Showhouse and the Forbes Magazine sponsored Washington Design Center Showhouse. She returned to her native lowcountry in 2007 to open Gaylord Design and to be part of the area’s growing interest in sustainability.

She is a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) and member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), an Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), and member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). She also serves on the Sustainable Council Committee for ASID.
