"Your home tells the story of your life and your connections to family and friends. The contents change over time based on where you are on your journey, and reflect your lifestyle and taste. A successful designer incorporates special spaces, such as a quiet corner or entertainment area that serves a unique purpose and compliments the entire living space."
Design has been a mainstay of Barb's career, most recently in the hospitality industry providing interior design for restaurants, lodges, cabins, condos, townhomes and executive homes. She now enjoys the more personal working relationships while finding solutions for daily family living. Through education and experience she understands scale, both physical and visual, and matches design elements to create comfortable living spaces.

My wife and I visited HOM Furniture in need of assistance with upgrading all of our living room furniture. We were so fortunate to have met Barb S as she helped us narrow down the selections to align with what we were envisioning for our home. Barb was a joy to work with. We felt very at ease, no pressure, and were 100% satisfied and thankful for her help!!! We highly recommend asking for Barb S. to anyone who is looking for a great sales and design consultant at HOM!
We are working with Barb S at the Bloomington store. Ahead of our visit, I took detailed measurements of our family room, put them on graph paper and send them to her. I also sent her multiple pictures of our room and an 'inspiration' picture. I spoke to her on the phone for about 45 minutes. Then she went to work. Three weeks later we went to meet her at the store and she had multiple designs worked up to present to us. Was I impressed. She had furniture picked out for us to look at and showed us several options. Then we went to choose fabrics and then onto the rug department. I was totally wowed! We were in the store approximately 3 hours and had our entire room picked out and ordered by the time we left. We still some odds and ends to purchase and I'm sure she will be as helpful with those. Barb S. Incredible to work with!
