Erica is wonderful to work with. She spends time getting to know you and your family before she proposes anything, and focuses on no one and nothing else when serving you. She will do absolutely anything to ensure you are pleased with the outcome of her work, and that of anyone she contracts with. I will go no where else for my design services.

Question and answer
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Don't be afraid of color!! A gallon of paint costs less than $20, and can make the very biggest design statement! It's so much less risky to paint a room than buy a $2000 sofa, yet somehow people are so afraid to take this step.
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. The most important thing to decide is your budget. It's really important to set up a "hope-to-spend" and a "max spend" amount. We always work with our clients to figure out what is genuinely feasible for them, and the best ways to acheive the feel they want with the amount they have. Second, the more pictures you have to represent the look you are drawn to, the more sucessful our communication will be! For instance, if you are wanting to redecorate your living room, look through magazines and online to find images that show something you like: the colors, textures, lighting, mood, whatever it is. It's a great jumping off point!
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. Our projects stand out with our bold use of color, texture and patterns to create a vivid and memorable scene. We strive to reflect our clients taste and personality whether that be luxurious neutrals with deep textures and finishes, or fushia and lime green with bold patterns and lots of glitz and glam! We approach each project with a passion and drive to create something unique and beautiful every time.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. We love making our clients happy! It's so satisfying to hear a client gush about their new space, and we don't rest until our client's say "it's perfect!"
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. "What do you think?" Our customers so often are afraid of their own opions. We love to work with our customers to be sure that we are discovering what YOU want, and how to deliver that in a beautiful, coherent and sustainable manner.
Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
A. Absolutely! I spend many hours every year learning about everything from current color trends to latest sustainability research, to governmental guidelines on clean air and accessibility for the public. My job is to "protect the health, safety, and wellness of the public", in addition to making it beautiful, so these classes are critical in keeping my licensing to practice up to date.
