About

sarismaller

Sari Ehrenreich was born to be a designer.  “At eight years old, I was that little girl, who once my parents fell asleep, got busy rearranging all our furniture.” Fast forward to Sari with a college design degree and a prized internship for one of Los Angeles’s top-tier design firms. She then established a flourishing interior design business in New York City, designing elegant family homes and corporate offices for clients from coast to coast.

Seeing the world as it is today, Sari has responded by designing environments that encourage families to spend more quality time together, both in hotel settings and ultimately in their homes. Cozy interiors, and outdoor spaces, filled with music, entertainment, curated games, and programming as places to inspire and get recharged from the stresses of life.

Her innovative model for family fun has been seen in design showcase homes like a “Theater Arts Wing” for the Pasadena Showcase House, a family clubhouse business at the Miramar Fairmont Hotel, in Santa Monica, a concept for Hilton International, and private estates around the country.

Sari’s work has also been featured in national publications like ELLE Decor, appeared on HGTV’s ”Designer Challenge” and on CBS’s “Beautiful Homes and Great Estates.”  Sari has also been a participant in multiple design showcase houses, all of which benefitted significant charitable foundations.  She collaborated on both the first Eco design home for Los Angeles Magazine, and for the Healthy Child, Healthy World initiative, which Leonardo DiCaprio presented on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”.

What’s more, Sari has invented the perfect coffee table called “The Game Changer”. The Game Changer doubles as an elegant table and then transforms into a play table, as the family discovers numerous secret compartments that reveal games and toys for the entire family to discover and enjoy.

Today, Sari Ehrenreich designs, consults, and speaks on how to create homes for the entire family to reach their fullest potential through captivating environments that nurture familial bonds.

Please look to Sari Ehrenreich as an exciting speaker for your next event and look out for her new products and book. “How to Engage the Modern Family” shortly.

Community Life

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
– Margret Mead

Sari has a special spot in her heart, and focus in her creative brain to create mentoring programs for the Foster Children of America. She firmly believes they have an important voice for the future of our country, and that their own families let them down. Sari believes that every baby is brought into this world for a special purpose, and it is up to their parents to nourish their gifts right from the start. When that does not take place those are OUR true fallen American angels that need our help to lift them up.

There are wonderful productive non-profit organizations doing important good work that might ignite action in you. Sari’s goal is to connect people all over this nation, that have a little extra time & love in their heart, to impart mentorship to this youth sector, IF THEY ONLY KNEW HOW. Please review the following non-profits organizations that could inspire you to see just how you can make a difference in your community.
And please write me of groups you know of doing productive work around our nation.

Women Helping Youth

why

womenhelpingyouth.com, a giving circle was formed by close friends of Sari Ehrenreich’s, just three moms that were thinking ahead before their nests were empty. A decade strong, WHY has funded specific tangible items from hearing devices to creating libraries that demonstrated a profound ripple effect within the local Los Angeles community. You can do this too.

Kidsave

Established in 1999 when modern day heros Terry Baugh & Randi Thompson gave 177 older orphaned children vacations in the U.S. with American families and 97 % were adopted. It was a miracle for these children, and for Terry and Randi it provided the basis for creating KIDSAVE. A family visit model,a program that has been successfully tested in Russia,Columbia, and the USA as a way to help older orphans and foster kids to find parents and committed mentors.

Sari Ehrenreich and her friend Tracie Shephard have partnered in creating mentoring events for KIDSAVE foster youth to further enrich their aspirational goals. They are proud to acknowledge, that with the assistance of their husbands, have been mentoring a youth they met through KIDSAVE for over several years. They also express how it has been both challenging and profoundly rewarding to see this young woman pointed in the right direction for a successful life. We would be proud to share our story.


Coalition For Engaged Education

Sari met Paul Cummins many years ago when her son was lucky enough to attend the upscale school Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences, that Paul founded. He has since gone on to create more innovative educational solutions which lead him to found the Coalition for Engaged Education. Sari recently ran into Paul at the annual WHY grant luncheon, where they were presenting his foundation with a check to purchase film making equipment. She learned of this program called C/Hope,CEE that helps maximize successful community reintegration of boys from Probation Camp David Gonzales
