Testimonials
We hired Erin to completely furnish our empty three story home in Manhattan Beach. We interviewed her in person along with a number of other interior designer/decorators. From the beginning we liked her style, artistic creativity, how well she listened to our vision, her respect for our budget and her approach working with remote clients. She is willing to do a lot of legwork since we aren't full time in the area at this point. She started by thoroughly understanding our style and the look and feel we wanted for the house. The next step was to exchange inspirational photos and set up a pintrest page that we could each attach ideas of things we saw and liked just for ideas. She also provided a detailed spreadsheet of the furnishings each room would need and a "good - better - best" budget so everyone was clear and comfortable with the scope. Once we agreed on style and budget range she really took charge and was off and running providing great furniture options, fabric choices, rug options, wood finishes, etc. that are now all coming together beautifully.
She maintains a shared spreadsheet that gives full visibility of the project on an ongoing basis - with what's been ordered, cost, paid, delivery dates, etc. This is an active spreadsheet we can access at any time. She has a great source for custom furniture manufacturing, finds some really unique fabrics as well as other interesting finishing touches. She finds pieces that I would never have considered but in the overall scheme really work.
Erin has a great attitude, quickly going back to the drawing board whenever she presents something that we don't love or aren't comfortable with the cost. She really wants us to be happy. She works hard, is very careful with the details to ensure accuracy with measurements as well as being incredibly responsive. I never have to chase her down for information or an answer. We have been surprised at how quickly and efficiently she has worked on our project, never letting up. She is as enthusiastic today as the first day we hired her. We are very pleased with how the house is coming together and have been extremely happy with the creative work Erin has done. We definitely give her high marks and a positive recommendation.

Erin is truly talented and wonderfully patient and kind. She listened and understood what I was looking for and then magically made it happen- even better than I imagined. I don’t enjoy the design process because I find it difficult but Erin made it easy and fun. I love being in my house and enjoy how beautiful it looks thanks to Erin.

Erin has an innate talent for design, color and creating a warm environment. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and is a wonderful listener. What I really think stands out about Erin's work is her ability to create any style space; she doesn't just have one look. She can easily design a traditional, modern, Spanish or craftsman house and I really think that takes a lot of talent. Erin is excellent at designing custom furniture, has the best vendors and is very resourceful when it comes to finding ways to save her client's money. I look forward to working on more projects with her in the near future.

I have really enjoyed furnishing my house with Erin. I especially love the way my bedroom came out as it's just what I wanted -- cozy, casual, eclectic and comfortable. From the beginning, all I knew is that I didn't want my bedroom to look like it came out of a catalog, I wanted it to feel unique. I would never have even thought to put the different pieces together the way Erin did but it works so well. Erin is great to work with and I would recommend her to anyone.

I love my home and the way I feel in it, thanks to Erin. She was a delight to work with, very responsive and took my vision and ran with it. I have worked with designers in the past that designed according to their own personal style but refreshingly, that wasn't the case with Erin. She actually listened carefully to what I wanted, tried to understand my lifestyle and what made me happy and created a space that I am excited to go home to everyday.
