About Me

Amy Scarsi, Interior Design

 
I love to transform a space or an entire home to fit the style, personality and function of those living and working in it.

With over 30 year’s experience, I can simplify any commercial or residential remodel or design project.  I have experience working with all furniture lines, reupholstering, window treatments, carpet, area rugs, kitchen designs, bath designs and paint colors.  I have also worked with exterior spaces such as siding colors, exterior paints, patio/decking designs, outdoor furniture and landscape designs.

Whether you simply need help selecting paint colors or you have a large involved job in mind, I am here for you.

Through the years, I have come across too many people that have tried to tackle a job on their own.  In the long run, it cost them so much more money than if they would have hired me. Let’s paint the RIGHT color the FIRST time!

My Design Approach

My design concept is to make interiors beautiful, yet livable and practical for your everyday life–from kids & pets to red wine & fondue! I can work within any budget whether it’s a residential or commercial project job. I take the guesswork out of any remodeling job.  There are thousands of choices out there—I will help to narrow the choices to a handful and ease the confusion.

My Education

I attended Onondaga Community College where I earned my Associates Degree in Graphic Arts and Interior Design. Through the years, I have enhanced my experience by attending many design seminars, building and show houses throughout the country.

In 1991, I began working at Stickley Furniture in Manlius, New York in the furniture showroom. After a year, I joined Dunk & Bright Furniture in nearby Syracuse and continue to work there today–even remotely from across the country!

I decided to start my own design business, Design by Amy, in 2007 and have enjoyed helping many clients with their projects ever since!

My Roots

My Central New York roots are strong. I am originally from Hamilton, New York where I graduated from high school.  I grew up near my father’s dairy farm that had been in our family for over 150 years. I married in 1999, and we settled in the Syracuse area, in a house that we built ourselves.  In 2015, we moved to Fullerton California where my design continues–in both Central New York and Orange County California.  Our three kids contribute to my ‘design to live’ philosophy! Your home can be beautiful but must be practical.  I started my own design business when so many clients needed me for much more than just their Dunk and Bright Furniture needs.
