I’m so glad that Sidney was in the store the day I wandered into Ethan Allen to browse. She did a fantastic job of helping me select some furniture, fabrics, and rugs for a new apartment in a building under construction, and she even visited when the building was accessible to make sure everything – new and old – would fit perfectly in the space. The items look wonderful in my new home, and I get great complements from everyone who has visited. And that is all thanks to Sidney’s knowledge and good design sense. I would highl... read more

I am pleased to recommend Sidney as a talented and creative design consultant! I've been very impressed with her knowledge of design principles, her artistic sense, and her commitment to understand her clients in order to best serve their needs. Because of Sidney's warm and engaging personality, working with her was truly a delightful experience. Sidney helped me refurnish my living room which began with the purchase of a sofa. She visited my home and created a personalized long term plan that we have been working from for s... read more

Sidney was such a JOY to work with. She is very talented and gave me a lot of design suggestions and perspective. Her organizational skills are excellent and made my project much easier because she had control of the numbers and the delivery schedule. I felt completely comfortable with the final decisions on my headboard, my dust ruffle and my cornices and Sidney was very patient and helpful in finalizing my order. Thank you Sidney!

I had the pleasure of working with Sidney recently as I redecorated my living room. Her expertise was invaluable to me. She took the time to understand what I liked and the pieces I needed, and then expanded my palette by introducing options I would not have otherwise considered. She also explained how the different items and looks could work together. While I loved most of what she showed me, she was never offended or put off when I identified things I did not like. My living room looks incredible and her input is the reaso... read more

I loved working with Sidney, she listened to me carefully and considered everything; size, placement, comfort, practicality and cost. She made some suggestions that surprised me, but were really spot on! I couldn’t be happier with my purchases. I’d use her again in a minute!

Sidney is incredible! She helped us with a condo a few years back and we loved her work so much that when we moved into our forever house she was the first person we called. She has continued to translate our thoughts and “rough” visions into reality! From entire rooms to accessories, Sidney has done an incredible job and I can’t recommend Sidney enough.

It was time for a redo of our family room and Sidney was the perfect designer for the task. Most importantly up front she was a good listener. I wanted to lighten the room and she discussed various ways we could go about making that happen. She also quickly figured out the color palette and fabric designs I was attracted to. She has a wonderful design sense and saved me countless hours by pulling together ideas for me to choose between. On more than one occasion, she visited our home to measure and make sure the choices we w... read more

Through most of my purchases (i.e. a recliner, sofa, dining room chairs) at this Ethan Allen location, I have worked closely with Interior Designer Sidney Sharkey. She has been tremendous to work with. Not only has she kept me informed about upcoming Ethan Allen sales, she has also been willing to visit my condominium to offer interior design suggestions.
