Earlier this week, Kathy Hodge from Sage Design stopped by to borrow some of our bouquets and orchids for a photo shoot at the recently renovated Delamar Hotel in Southport. Prior to her arrival, we had “googled” Kathy’s firm to get a feel for her design aesthetic and fell immediately for her clean, sophisticated rooms that are as comfortable and livable as they are elegant.
Browsing through her online portfolio, we also noticed that Kathy’s kitchens and baths are the epitome of function meets beauty.
Given that one of us is exploring a new kitchen in an antique home, we were glad to read that Kathy is as comfortable designing for a “spaced challenged pied-a-terre” as she is for a “spacious family friendly house.”
Wonder if she’s open to working with a space challenged family friendly home instead?
After seeing pictures of the suite she designed at the Delamar, we know where to stay when construction begins!

Her work is beautiful! Love the style.
Love everything here – especially that fabulous kitchen (#2). I am dying to switch my doored cabinet in my breakfast area to open shelving!! And also dying to get to the new Delamar – we should get a little local group together for drinks there!!
Great designs. I will be checking out her website as well!!! Love the colors, and the 2nd kitchen is beautiful!

Would love to join you at the Delamar to toast the start of construction – looks gorgeous. And so do Kathy’s designs. Especially love that last kitchen with the big farm table! Can imagine friends and family gathered around gabbing. What a lovely spot to linger!
Great looks and all look so inviting and livable. You sent you floral touches to the right place with Kathy!

Beautiful rooms! That kitchen (#2) is now in my inspiration folder!!
Ohhh all so pretty but especially kitchen love #2….beautiful!
Absolutely love the second kitchen, especially idea of the sofa. The kitchen is the social heart of my home — brilliant idea to have such a beautiful couch to lounge on, in addition to the traditional table and chairs. Just took a look at Kathy’s website and love everything I see!
I love this post. The second kitchen is a dream! I went to the website, sagedesign.com, and saw even more amazing rooms. It’s not so often that we see such an exquisite intersection of elegance, simplicity and comfort.
Beautiful and so livable! I love the relaxed comfortable elegance of all these photographs.
Gorgeous interiors. And, love that she designed the Delamar. I’m with Stacey….it’s the perfect warm weather meet up spot!

Timeless designs that are calmly beautiful… She really has a great sense for making rooms look both elegant and comfortable, without overstating any aspect!
Love the work by this designer. Great Find!
I love kitchen #2! It is the perfect combination of warmth and clean simplicity! Kathy rules!
Love Kathy’s design sensibility. Kitchen 2 may be one of the best rooms ever!
I really like the bathroom tile design and color!
Just my kind of style – gorgeous rooms and love that bathroom tile. No doubt your flower arrangements were just the finishing touch needed!
Such talent!
