Interior design using the “undecorate” trend, the no-rules approach to a creative and lived-in space using what you already have. Imperfection is the new style for the modern house dweller. It’s taste over expense, personality over polish. And that’s the difference that interior designer Andrea Putman brings to your home. By using what you have got and then adding some punch with inexpensive accessories, Andrea can create a space that depicts your personal style but also functions for your life.

“The Most Stress-Free Experience With A Computer Company”

“We emailed Sam & Company after seeing their ad on Jen’s List. Sam responded immediately with a phone call, and was funny, kind, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Their technician, Yarone, was very nice, smart and explained everything he was doing. One thing we liked especially about Sam & Company was that they offered several options, varying in price. They provided an outline of everything we COULD do, and then we could decide what we WANTED to do, based on our budget. No pressure or heavy sales push. We will absolutely use them again and refer them to our family/friends.” Melanie Gragnani
