Designer, lifestyle expert, and host of HGTV's The High Low Project, Sabrina Soto does more than transform dull rooms into dream spaces all on a budget — much more. She designs and organizes areas as challenging as cluttered kitchens to tiny dorm rooms, and even put all of her tips and tricks into a book, Sabrina Soto Home Design: A Layer-by-Layer Approach to Turning Your Ideas Into the Home of Your Dreams. And if you're a Target-addict, you've seen her line in stores, which includes bedding, curtains, and bath towels, or one of the multiple commercials she's starred in. Maybe you even have a couple of her products from her Michaels office line. But if you've ever seen before and after pictures of the spaces she's taken on (like this one!), it's no surprise that she's made a splash on the pages of Elle Decor, Esquire, The New York Post, and many others.
When Sabrina isn't busy doing all of that — in addition to appearing on The Today Show, Good Morning America, and more — she's a fun-loving, family-oriented 38-year-old living in West Hollywood, California, with her husband, Steve. We've uncovered a bunch of fun facts about the busy star that will make you want to snag some of her home products ASAP. But we still have one question . . . Is there a waiting list to get Sabrina to redesign our homes, too?!

Sabrina’s Favorite Show Is The Golden Girls
In fact, she even considered naming her soon-to-be-born baby girl after one of the famous characters! But even if she was joking around, it was enough of a thought to ask her husband what he thought of the idea, and, spoiler — he wasn’t into the idea. Bummer, because we would have loved to see a little Sophia or Blanche running around!

Sabrina Played an Extra on The Kings of Queens
That’s right, before the interior designer was making over spaces, she spent two weeks in her early 20s with Kevin James and Leah Remini as an extra. We’re loving this Instagram #TBT!

She Wanted to Be a Baker When She Was Younger
We’re sure that chocolate cake was delicious, but based on Sabrina’s amazing room makeovers and home decor, we’re happy that she stuck with designing! Although, she revealed on Casa & Company that cooking is her second passion.
