-Sheena took my dated Historical home in Garden City, NY and brought new life into it. She designed the complete remodel, hired all trades and oversaw and managed the renovation. She was able to maintain the timelessness and character of the old Tutor home, reusing most of the current layout and historical features. She made my space functional, updated and stylish by focusing on the unique features of the home. Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has always stuck to my realistic budget, guided me on where money is best spent and provided me with best value for dollar and return on investment.
Sheena sourced furniture, art and décor from the refinish on my dining room table and wood beams, down to the pillowcases and lightbulbs. Being on the road as an athlete my time at home is very limited, therefore finding someone such as Sheena, whom you can trust throughout the entire process with little to no need for intervention has been heaven-sent. So much so, when I was traded to St. Louis she was my first call after purchasing a new home. I will continue to use her expertise on every future property.

Sheena is an exceptionally hard working individual who leads with integrity at the forefront. She has extraordinary knowledge on all aspects of real-estate from investment opportunities, to realistic thoughts, pricing and concepts on renovations, staging and design. Sheena is incredibly kind, patient and caring, really taking time to understand your goals and doing everything she can to help you achieve it. Sheena is, and always will be the hardest working in the room and I cannot reccomend her enough for any real-estate related endeavors.

I’m the fortunate Realtor® that was tasked to sell the Boychuk’s home in Garden City, New York, an upscale Long Island suburb and bedroom community to Manhattan.
Sheena’s design, furnishing and construction of her own family home is a testament to her calculated thought process, talent, skill, creativity and and keen design flair. It was clear from the moment I entered her home that it was carefully planned to be elegant, inviting, family friendly and unforgettable.
With those goals in mind, her selection of luxe finishes throughout the home added to the solid, well built and thoughtful floor plan of how a real family functioned on each level. From amazing woodwork throughout to lighting, flooring, stone and marble surfaces, fixtures and attractive storage, the bones of this home are impeccable. Her approach to decorating with the soft furnishings, artwork, accessories and their placement is calm and cohesive, yet each room has up to the moment style, interest and a pop! Clearly curated carefully to please her own design eye and her family’s needs, her home was a perfect blend of both.
The ultimate barometer of Sheena’s skill and talent in home design – The very first buyer/customer to see Sheena’s finished product, bought the home at full price and wanted ALL of the furnishings too. That’s rare…
Wishing Sheena still lived here in NY to design and stage some of our current real estate for sale!
