Sarah Kennedy Dolce It's a source of pride as well as a family anecdote that Sarah's love of interior design was first honed when she was a girl by constantly helping her grandmother tweak the layout of the living room of her Rye home. Furniture runs in her blood: her family has been part of the industry for over 30 years. After graduating from Lehigh University in 1997 Sarah began her career going through the famous Buyer program at Saks Fifth Avenue. As an Assistant Buyer for Men's Accessories she helped balance six figure budgets on a weekly basis as well as overseeing the men's accessories departments for 50 national stores. Needing more creativity Sarah went on to work in the visual and marketing department of Carolee Designs, Inc. There, she was part of the team responsible for corporate merchandising and branding as well as store displays and special events for 22 Carolee stores and over 200 national and international accounts.

After a brief "retirement" to raise her three young children, Sarah started her own design firm, Shea Dolce Interiors in 2011. Specializing in residential decor, she has also worked on several commercial and academic building interiors. Sarah considers her personal style to be "twisted traditional", loving a mix of classic and modern furnishings but is happy to work with every genre of style. Whether it's simply adding final touches or seeing through a gut renovation, she is most satisfied when a clients space reflects their own lives and loves, chicly. Home Works Website
