I recently moved in to a modern condo in San Francisco and was looking for a designer who could help me realize my vision for a modern minimalist home. I chose Erin because based on her stunning portfolio, I realized we had a very similar aesthetic. As a result, even in our initial consultation, we resonated straight away. It was fun to work together with someone who loved so many of the same things! I was mainly looking for Erin's help to maintain a consistent theme and color palette throughout my home, to choose unique furniture and decor that fit my space, as well as to have a designer's sophisticated eye supervising everything.
I was a bit concerned about how the remote design experience would work (due to covid), however it was a lot more seamless than I thought it would be thanks to Erin's efficient organization and communication. We worked remotely to organize the furniture layout, review samples of the custom finishes together, and select some really special designer pieces that worked well with my budget with a high low approach. I wanted a few statement pieces that I could keep for years to come, while at the same time, stay within my budget. Erin was really cognizant of my needs and was super patient even as I cycled through various options.
For my home, we ended up picking a color palette that was warm, earthy and cozy, just like I was hoping for. The open plan living room was a challenge given the big open space and several walls of windows, but we figured out a layout that would be best for hosting my friends and family, reading and watching TV, and selected some beautiful timeless pieces in the process. I absolutely love how my living room turned out!
In addition to the living room, Erin also helped select new wall colors for my bedroom, and furnishings as well. My bedroom turned out to be the earthy, Mediterranean retreat that I wanted it to be. This was really my favorite part of the experience - seeing the beautiful designs Erin had rendered digitally coming to life in my home.
All in all, Erin is a great designer to work with and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would highly recommend Erin for any home design and...
Read moreErin and I worked together on styling the living/dining area of my family's 2-bedroom apartment in Toronto, Canada. This work happened during a STYLING SCHOOL workshop Erin led, called "How to design a space that brings you joy" and thus was achieved very quickly!
We have a young child, and are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic so while our goal was to create a beautiful and calm Scandinavian and Japanese inspired space, it also has to leave room to work as a dance studio/gym/you name it!
It was incredible to watch Erin's process. She very quickly evaluated the space, identified specific areas that were contributing to visual clutter or that were out-of-date, and dug into her magical library of objects to suggest a basket, plant, lamp, blanket, or other item that would help the space fit the brief. At the end of this process I had an image of the redesigned space and a list of steps to follow to achieve our shared vision for the space. Through a mixture of moving our exiting belongings around, editing out a few items, and adding a select few items (one lamp, one new plant) I'll be able to have the space of my dreams within our strict budget. My favourite part of the process was that, after feeling completely stuck about how to make this space work for years, Erin opened my eyes to the possibilities of the space and re-ignited my creative fire!
I highly recommend working with Erin to design and/or style your home. She is fun to work with, has impeccable style, and will suit the plan to your reality in terms of...
Read moreWe hired Erin to assist us in redesigning our living room space. Our ultimate goal was to maximize our space, be dog friendly, include a work from home set-up and create a light & comfortable look and feel. Throughout the entire design process (which we did remote), Erin was open to listening to our feedback and was quick to move the process along & respond to our questions. The design boards were very helpful to visualize the space. Erin selected furniture and decor that fit our goal, our budget and were good quality. We just completed our redesign and couldn't be happier with the experience and the result. It far exceeds what I could have ever imagined the space could be. We are so happy with the result we are moving onto our bedroom. Now that we finished our bedroom, I wanted to add to my original review. Our goal was to give our bedroom an update with a relaxed, beach vide. Erin was again amazing throughout the entire process. I really love how she incorporated our feedback and was super focused on selecting high value pieces while keeping cost in mind. We couldn’t be happier with the end result. I only wish our condo was larger so we could keep...
