Sorrento is one of Lake County’s most peaceful and spacious communities — a rural-feel area on the edge of the Wekiva and Seminole State Forest corridor where homeowners enjoy larger lots, open countryside, and a genuine sense of privacy. The homes here tend to have more space inside and out, from custom-built properties on acreage to newer homes in the growing developments along SR 46. I understand the scale and character of Sorrento properties and how Florida’s climate shapes every design decision.
I am not just a designer — I am a creative partner in your project. I am based in Winter Garden and serve Sorrento homeowners and builders who want spaces that look beautiful and function for real life. I understand the scale that comes with Sorrento properties — larger rooms, open floor plans, and indoor-outdoor living — and I design to make the most of every space.
Whether you are designing a forever home, renovating a property you have lived in for years, or furnishing a vacation rental that needs to impress from the first listing photo, I bring the same level of care and expertise to every project.
Sorrento attracts homeowners who value space, privacy, and a quieter way of life —
without giving up access to everything Central Florida has to offer. Whether your style is
modern and minimal, warm, and traditional, or something entirely your own,
I design your vision — not mine.
From custom new builds and whole-home renovations to single-room refreshes,
Stones Design LLC brings award-winning design expertise to every Sorrento project.
I offer a full range of interior design services including new construction and custom build design, home renovation and remodeling, room-by-room refreshes, furniture selection and space planning, color consulting, and complete turnkey projects — designed and furnished from scratch. I also work on commercial and hospitality interiors.
Yes. I offer free in-home design consultations in Sorrento. We will walk through your space together, discuss how you live and what you want to change, and provide expert guidance tailored to your home, style, and budget.
Timelines vary depending on the scope. A single-room refresh can take a few weeks, while a full home design or renovation project typically runs over several months. For larger Sorrento properties and custom builds, I provide a detailed timeline at the start, so you always know what to expect.
Yes. With 40 years of experience, I have worked on properties of all sizes — including larger custom builds with open floor plans, multiple living areas, and indoor-outdoor flow. I understand how to make spacious homes feel cohesive, warm, and intentionally designed rather than empty or overwhelming.
Ready to transform your space? Let’s talk about your
home and bring your vision to life — with a design that is
as functional as it is beautiful.
