Sarah Martin
Owner // Lead Designer
Eleven chaotic years ago, beautiful things happened. Sarah started doing the interior design for her family's contracting company AND her & Jayme's first baby was born. As life as a momma began, so did a CRAZY passion for creating beautiful spaces. Sarah decided to "shelf" the plans of becoming a marriage & family counselor (though that education does come into play with some client situations ;)) and jump feet first into every kind of home improvement project. Through eight years of learning the family trade, she realized her designing and remodeling genes were indeed inherited. She loved all aspects, including the final touch of styling.
As any chaotic story goes, it's not always rainbows and butterflies. Sarah and Jayme had more babies and life got very real when their third, and only daughter, was born. Their sweet baby girl went through two years of chronic illness that required Sarah to be nothing other than momma & wife during that time. It was a time of seclusion to home as to avoid triggers that would make their baby girl very sick. This is when Sarah truly realized how important HOME truly was.
She found out how badly she wanted her own home to be a beautiful refuge AND functional for real life.
After their daughter gained health, one more baby was added to the Martin brood. The family dynamics had returned to a new normal...chaos...beautiful chaos!! It was then that allowed Sarah to continue on with her passion. But, it was very different this time. Starting Beautiful Chaos® meant so much more than creating beautiful spaces...
"I want to be that friend — the one who is invited into your home, your most sacred place. I want to show you how we can make it just as beautiful as your precious family. And, to encourage you...to love this life. This chaotic life that never really is "perfect." There will always be different seasons...see the beauty in all of it & love the ones that God has given you." XO!
