After watching YouTube, earlier this year, I had unsuccessfully tried to install peel and stick wallpaper to punch up the wow factor in our beach house bathroom, which is in an old house. And realized this is not as easy as they make it look and it’s not for me. Time to hire a pro.

By way of Yelp, I was referred to Sara, by a painter, I believe. I emailed her and explained my situation. She got right back to me. I found her to be personable, knowledgeable, understanding and professional. We eventually spoke on the phone and we decided that the peel and stick was a poor option. So, at her suggestion, I ordered the regular kind of wallpaper.

We did all of our correspondence by text, phone and email. I sent her pictures and measurements of the room and she was able to help me determine how much wallpaper to order.

She was very booked at the time and we had set an install date out months in future while we waited for the wallpaper to get delivered. It arrived sooner than I thought and then to my delight, an opening came open maybe a month later, for her to knock out my bathroom, so I jumped on it.

To be clear, we never met in person, but I trusted her whole-heartedly to enter our home while we weren’t there, to complete the job. She texted me when she got there and in a few hours she was done and I had a totally transformed bathroom!

I was so very happy with the results. Her work is clean & precise. And her calculations were spot on. I had exactly the right amount of wallpaper and a bit left over, if we ever need it.

I was actually looking around for other boring walls in the house that I could have her do. I would recommend Sara 100% and I will hire her again.

This spring I remodeled my very small bathroom centered around a particular vanity I found. When I got the idea for wallpaper accent on that wall I was directed to Sara. Contacting Sara was helpful in encouraging the project, selecting an appropriately sized pattern that needed to be vinyl-ish for the bathroom and small details that she helped with pre-selecting the wallpaper (I mean have you looked at wallpaper sites recently it is WONDERFUL and dauntng!) and figuring out the timing of installation.

Then, the actual day arrives, Sara comes in with the custom paperhanging contraption and sets to work! Her enthusiasm for my project itself was infectious and her confidence, skill and ability to improvise in the small space was impressive. Done! But wait, then I chipped some wallpaper installing the mirror and she advised on that repair plus dropped off some paste I needed. Big, little project made fabulous with wallpaper.

The Trusted Brush (recommended to me by a local paint store) is an apt name for Sara’s business. Everything about Sara’s communication earned my trust even before she began the job. She answered my inquiry email quickly, arrived for her initial site visit and work day on schedule, and gave me a contract stating labor costs. Our discussion about the project reassured me that Sara understood just what I wanted.

But really, her work speaks for itself. She exactly matched the design repeats. The paper seams are so snug they’re not noticeable. I love the the expertise and care she brought to her work. She is totally trustworthy in technique and professionalism.

Sara was an absolute dream and a doll to work with. Her communication and dependability was so greatly appreciated and quite honestly, such a breath of fresh air. She constantly had a wonderful smile on her face and worked efficiently and completed the wallpaper in our house in such a superior way.

Sara kept in contact with both me and my interior designer, to work out a schedule and make sure that not only the wallpaper installation instructions provided for our complicated and special wallpaper was thoroughly understood before beginning the process, but also that everything was measured out before anything was cut.

I would use Sara again in a heartbeat and recommend her to everyone and anyone needing wallpaper or interior painting. She was professional and such a pleasure to work with. Adore Sara to pieces!
