Divinely Designed: A Beautiful & Functional Home

HOME } and you want it to be beautiful.  You have an idea of what you want it to look and feel like, but getting it there is overwhelming. Darlin friend, I see you---drowning in analysis paralysis when it comes to making the design magic happen. There’s chaos in selecting paint colors, choosing the perfect hardware, perusing seemingly endless lighting options, and let’s not even talk about wrangling a minor anxiety attack in the middle of a home décor store! Do not worry---I get you and I’ve got you! As a professional interior designer, I have 15 years of experience in serving clients just like you. You see, designing and decorating a beautiful home comes easy to me and I’m happy to share all that I know. I want you to love your home and I want to teach you how to curate it in a way that beautifully reflects you and your family. That’s where this gorgeous book comes in. Inside, I share with you a handful of our most-loved projects, in additional to my own home, and I reveal thousands of hours of interior design intel, as well as the heart-warming stories behind each design.  You may not know me, but if you do, you know that I wear my heart on my sleeve when sharing my work and my love for faith and family. In these pages I write openly and candidly about the reality of discovering beauty and function in my own home---all while surviving the chaos of being a mompreneur.  Whether you come to Divinely Designed for the design details or for the testimony of faith, family, and home, you will be richly served.  XO, Sarah   Sarah Martin grew up in the Minneapolis suburbs as the daughter of a fourth-generation contractor father who taught Sarah; her brother; and Jayme, her husband of 17+ years; the family craft. Today, Sarah and Jayme live in Jayme’s hometown, 30 minutes from the Twin Cities, where they balance the award-winning Beautiful Chaos design + build business with their home and four children. Sarah has spent the last 15 years beautifying hundreds of homes in the Minneapolis area and nationally, and she loves making the world beautiful through design, writing, and speaking. But, she says, “being a wife and Momma is my most favorite ‘job.’” Sarah’s other passions include women’s health, natural beauty, whole foods, and fitness.   “I received your book yesterday.  I absolutely love,love,love it!  All the ideas, photos, even sources. Couldn’t have arrived at a better time. I spent at least three hours reading it. I know I will spend many more hours studying it. Thank you so much!”-Marianne, Reader “THIS BOOK.  Are you ready?  Sarah will bare her heart in the most refreshing, humble way.  She welcomes us all in, as if we’re sitting in her living room for coffee (but I’d prefer Diet Coke, Sarah) and she’d sharing it all---the good, the bad, the victories, the challenges.  You’ll loooove the beautiful images and be inspired by plenty of new design and decorating ideas.  Your heart will be warmed, your spirits lifted, and you’ll feel the prayers that Sarah has been praying as you turn each page.  Oh, the beautiful chaos.” -Janna Allbritton, Book Forward
