? Member Project Spotlight: Sophisticated Home Sanctuary We're excited to shine a light on Sharron Braylock, Founder of Studio One Design. Recently named a Hot Talent by Home & Design Magazine, Sharron is recognized as one of five rising designers making an impact on the local scene with her residential and commercial interior design expertise. Featured in the magazine, this sophisticated home sanctuary is a stunning example of Sharron's ability to blend elegance with function. In the kitchen, she created a refined yet inviting space with custom cabinetry and an antique-mirrored hood, paired with sleek quartzite countertops, balancing both sophistication and warmth. The dining room exudes glamour, while the family room offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with intricate millwork and soft lighting. Upstairs, the little girl’s room captures the whimsy of childhood, featuring custom wallpaper and a plush pink velvet bed, creating an enchanting and playful retreat. Sharron’s approach to design is all about crafting spaces that go beyond aesthetics—they’re designed to uplift and nurture. “No matter where we live, we all want the same thing—comfort and refuge,” she says in the magazine. With over 17 years of experience, Sharron continues to create timeless sanctuaries for her clients.
