Sky City Design + Color

Meghan worked with us to redesign the small but solo bathroom in our new home. She thought "outside the box" with things like reversing the opening of a door, making a partition into a pony wall, and using the high ceilings for storage. She shopped like a real pro, looking for reasonably priced versions of our ideas. She also supervised everything from design to demolition to contracting tile to painting. Thanks to her ideas, the small, cramped and outdated space is now our favorite room in the house! In addition she is super fun to work with!

Meghan was an absolute pleasure to work with — from the moment she first walked into our home, she exuded excitement and empathy. She’s not afraid to roll up her sleeves both in terms of finding the right pieces and in terms of installation and project management. Our shelter in place has been significantly improved due to Meghan transforming our living space.

Just had a great experience working remotely with Meghan at Sky City to come up with plans for refreshing our porch and deck, our kitchen and our laundry room. I sent her photos, measurements and my wish list, and she came up with beautiful solutions for all of the spaces. The new countertop in the kitchen alone is to die for. She worked quickly and was right on the mark with the choices she offered. She was a real pleasure to work with, and it was all done online or on the phone. We are super happy we found her.

Meghan advised me on the selection of colors for both the interior and exterior of our house. I experienced her as a very good listener who was able to quickly understand who I am and what I was trying to achieve and express through these remodeling projects. The truth is that I enjoyed walking the site, exchanging ideas, and exploring options. The repainting of the interior starts this fall, though the exterior portion has just been completed. What do you think? Thank you, Meghan.

Meghan Adkins of Sky City Design + Color worked with us over several months to renovate the master bath in our mid-century modern home in the Oakland hills. Always mindful of our ideas, preferences, and budget, Meghan led us through a process of evaluating our needs, inspiring our design and aesthetic choices, and finding the right contractors and suppliers. The result is an incredibly beautiful and functional space which we never could have imagined or achieved without her. We’re ecstatic! Throughout the project, Meghan was solution-focused, available, and showed timely communication, listening and organizational skills. She kept the project moving and was incredibly patient when we bogg...

Loved working with Meghan and highly recommend her! I was looking for over-the-shoulder design help. We recently sold a traditional home and renovated a mid-century modern home. When we sold our traditional home, we sold everything in it except for a couple of pieces of furniture. We had bought a few basics for the new house, like a sectional sofa, but I needed help to envision what was needed to make the house more like a home. Coming off of a major renovation, we need to decorate this house over time as budget allows (i.e., couldn't hire someone to design/furnish the space). My priorities were: interior paint color, exterior paint colors, and recommendations for furnishing the living room....

We called on Sky City Design + Color to do an exterior color consult. We were at a loss, didn't know where to start and we're feeling stressed and overwhelmed by the process. Meghan came to our home with her sizable kit of color chips and sat down with us outside to talk color. I was all over the place with what I liked and didn't like wasn't making much sense. Meghan was very understanding and patient with us and walked us through the choices, (which really are endless) in a way that broke the process down to manageable pieces. After much discussion of complimentary colors and color comparisons, she helped us narrow our choices down to a few core palettes. In just a couple of hours we had s...

We recently purchased a Victorian in an historic neighborhood. We love the high ceilings, crown molding, redwood floors and other victorian features, but the interior was painted in horrific colors. We hired Megan to as a color consultant to help us envision a better interior color scheme. She was so thorough. Upon entering she exclaimed how much she loved the house -- seeing immediately past the garish colored walls to embrace the beautiful structure. She interviewed us before even analyzing the rooms. Once she understood our needs and vision, she walked through with us as we described what we loved and what we didn't. Then she sat down with us and gave us her recommendations. To o...

Her customer service as to quality work, budgetary concerns and schedule communications is outstanding. My project was small, but Meghan was just as attentive. I highly recommend Meghan.

Meghan did an incredible job of installing bamboo flooring in the two bedrooms in my condo. Firstly, she went with me to the flooring store to pick out the exact material -- I had been lost in a sea of choices and she made it so easy. Then she fearlessly ripped out the existing carpeting that was there (and the bazillion fasteners holding it in place), and hauled it down to my garage in neat bundles. And then lastly, she laid down the new padding and bamboo exquisitely. It looked perfect and gorgeous. Oh and she also figured out the right thresholds to connect the rooms with the existing flooring in the hallways, which was no small task because they were quite different. In addition to worki...
