Meet Lisa

Lisa Sachleben is a Certified Interior Redesigner and Home Stager. She was trained and mentored by Sandy Dixon, a renowned redesigner from Evergreen, Colorado. Lisa developed her natural gifts as an artist and designer through art studies at Ohio State University.

Ever since she was a little girl, Lisa had a passion for making spaces special. Growing up in a large family, and then raising one of her own, she learned to be resourceful and find simple cost-effective design solutions by using what was available in creative ways.

She loves the concept of redesign because most people have enough things, they just need help pulling it all together and using it to the best advantage. One of her greatest joys is hearing people say, “Wow! I never imagined it could look this good." She finds real satisfaction in achieving this without spending a lot of money!
