Our Company

“for both the home builder and the home buyer”

In 1995, Lolly Hauptman envisioned a future where selecting home finishes was simple, joyful, and efficient for both builders and buyers. She founded Saddleback Design to make this process a gratifying, creative experience—”the exciting part,” as she says. Builders and buyers loved it, and Saddleback Design grew to include Lolly’s sons, Luke and John. Today, this family vision has transformed the finish process, making it more profitable for builders and more enjoyable for buyers. Choosing finishing touches is like adding the final stroke to a beautiful painting.

testimonials

-Marc and Miwa

Emily helped us with our options for our Remington rebuild last year. We wanted to let you know we have moved back in, and we really love all the options she helped us choose. She made the process much easier, fun and successful. We are extremely glad she was our interior designer.

-Eric and Sue Anderson

Emily is fantastic. We just signed our Saddleback contract and are extremely excited with our selections. Our home is being built by Boulder Creek Neighborhoods. We are part of the Marshall fire, and it was not in our plans, nor desires, to build a new home. We mention this because we are certain we brought our own special challenges to Emily during the design process

She really hit the high mark for us. She listened and quickly understood our desires and constraints. She was patient and helped us move forward. She demonstrated she is a master level designer, extremely detailed oriented and transcribed out selections perfectly. She was also fun to work with.

-Carl and Erika Morreale

I just want to thank you for your kindness and professionalism which you have shown my wife and I during our house buying process. You have shown us honesty, integrity, or transparency throughout this process in abundant quantities. You have been the bright spot of this experience for my wife and me.

We really appreciate you and feel so grateful for your help, guidance, and support to make these decisions. We would love if you would forward this email on to whomever needs reminding of how important you are in this process. Whoever you send this to, should give you a raise for staying late, fixing others mistakes with a smile and a calm, respectful tone, and having a great talent for visual spatial organization. My wife and I can’t thank you enough. We can’t wait to show you the house when it’s all done (thanks in large part to you).

-Brittany

I’m a southerner … I send flowers and thank you notes when people help me out! Seriously you really helped me with all these decisions, and I appreciate it! You’ve made this transition so much easier for us. I can’t wait to see how it all comes together. Thank YOU!

-Jess and Michelle Arbuckle

I can’t thank you enough for all you did for us the past two days! This time is stressful and tiring and you help people just move right along. You are excellent at your job! You are patient and kind with a gentle spirit! It was a pleasure working with you!

-Bill and Gail

Thank you for all your hard work and help, before, during, and after our meeting. You are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with (an unusual combination of traits) and you made our experience at Saddleback (and by extension, at Calmante) easy, enjoyable, and extremely effective. We value your assistance and look forward to our next meeting.
