Sonoma County Interior Design
A remodel can quietly take over your life: hundreds of decisions, a designer and a builder who never talk, and months of hoping it all comes together.
It should not feel like this. The journey should feel the same as the destination: a home where hosting feels effortless, rest actually happens, and connections deepen naturally.
The Hard Part Was Never The Vision
You already know how you want to live. What stalls most homes is everything in between: sourcing, trades, budgets, timelines, and the hundred small calls that all have to be right.
The real hard part is the handoff. On most projects, the designer draws it, and the builder builds it - and the gap between them is where the budgets slip, timelines stretch, and the vision quietly erodes.
It is why people often come to us wanting a clear process and a steady hand more than another mood board.
One Studio, Start to Finish
We do not hand over drawings and wish you luck. We design the home, source every piece, and coordinate the trades through to installation.
Design, purchasing, and construction coordination run as a single process under AVCO Design, so nothing falls through the cracks between the plan and the build.
Design - We shape how every room looks, works, and feels around the way you actually live.
Purchasing - We select, source, and purchase every piece, so the design intent endures.
Construction - We coordinate with the builder, trades, and vendors through to installation, and hand you a finished home.
You make the decisions that matter and stay out of the ones that drain you. We carry the schedule, the budget, the purchasing, and the thousand details in between.
The Certainty You’re Paying For
A written update lands in your inbox at the end of every week, so you always know exactly where the project and your investment stand.
Nothing is ordered without your written approval, and every proposal is itemized, room by room. No surprises, no quiet overruns, no decisions made without you.

What Clients Are Saying
“I've been working with Stephanie on a whole-house renovation . . . She's given me basically a new house in terms of modernizing and freshening up every room while retaining its character. But the best part about working with her is that she's delightful and easy to work with.”
Ann Peters, Kenwood, CA
“I can’t say enough about what a wonderful experience we had. Stephanie immediately understood my taste and priorities. I wanted someone to oversee the project and hire the contractor and subs, and AVCO did that. I never had to worry about anything. They are great communicators, professional, and easy to work with. It couldn’t have gone more smoothly.”
PAM WILSEY, SANTA ROSA, CA
“Stephanie of AVCO Design was a dream to work with! She immediately came up with a layout and furniture plan that worked for us, sourced many of the pieces, and had helpful advice on where we could save vs. which items to invest in. She really "got" our style and found several incredible pieces that give the space a lively charm we just adore.”

Serving Sonoma County & The North Bay
AVCO Design is based in Sebastopol and works with homeowners throughout Sonoma County, taking on select projects in Napa Valley, Marin County, and the surrounding Bay Area.
Wherever your home is, we manage design and purchasing and coordinate with the construction team so the result is installed exactly as intended.
The Home and The Life In It
Picture the first dinner you host once it is finally done. The house works, the rooms feel like you, and for once, you are not thinking about the project at all.
That is what we build toward. Tell us about your home, and we will show you how we would get there.
