  Interior Design

  $13,500

  If you are considering this company for your home design or remodel RUN. First, look at the complaints here....read them...then know EVERYTHING those people said about this company is TRUE. They are unprofessional, unreliable, and just bad business. Below is a copy of an email I sent to them last month outlining my entire experience with them.

  “Since the beginning or our design process I was explicit in what I wanted. Now, normally designers will bring style guides to a consultation however you showed up to my consult empty handed. Although I verbally explained what I wanted in detail (NO GLAM IN THE LIVING/BEDROOM SPACES AND PINK GIRLY GLAM IN THE OFFICE) this is NOT what you delivered. The pieces in the office (sofa and accessories) are mauve not pink as requested and the living space was horrid with big glam pieces everywhere which I explicitly said I didn’t want. Now, maybe there was some miscommunication on your part however I feel that as a true designer there should have been none. When you came to my consult empty handed I was concerned but then thought maybe you are so good that I can just tell you vibes Im going for and you can deliver. That was not the case and what was PARTIALLY delivered was completely off base from what I asked. This may go to process. And Im not sure if you regularly do not bring style guides for your clients to have a true “consult” not just you walking around their space taking pictures however I feel that this missed step would have forgone a lot of heartache. In addition to the design just being not what I wanted I have serious issues with the professionalism of your business. Please see notes below.

  1. My install was rescheduled a total of 5 times. Each time I had to email or text you the day before asking if we were still on schedule for install and was told no. This obviously is no way to handle a customer. As you stated in the email below, I would be updated every step of the way which I was not. I made full payment on December 18th with the promise that my install would happen by Christmas. When in fact it didn’t. I was then promised by New Year. Then that fell through. I was scheduled a total of 5 times which all were last minute canceled. I do understand that things happen with shipment and as a business owner I do not fault you for that part. What I do fault you for is the lack of clear communication. I should never have to be reaching out to you the day before an install to make sure we are still on only for you to tell me no that pieces are still not in. YOU should be reaching out to your customer to set clear expectations. This was never done.

  2. On the day of the install your team arrived 4 yours late (Said you would be here between ‪12-1230pm‬) and didn’t arrive until 4 causing a conflict.

  3. On the day of install I was informed that your team “averaging ‪around 3 am‬) for end time. This is something that should be clearly communicated to your customer for them to make a decision if they want to be in the home ‪until 3am‬ while you have a group of people moving throughout. To me this is inconsiderate and is another “process” issue.

  4. Although my design was put off numerous times and with the expectation that the final install would take place on January 11th, this was still a PARTIAL install as the furniture you brought was damaged AND you didn’t stay till 3 but ended early asking if you can come back the next day (Jan 12th). This again is unprofessional and inconsiderate for you to arrive late and then expect that I cancel my plans on the 12th (which I told you I had to do) so I can be available for a second day install when essentially all could have been done in 1 day if you didn’t ‪start at 4‬. (Thats given all of the furniture was available and not damaged which unfortunately mine was).

  5. The PARTIAL install again was not what I asked for AT ALL. After contacting you after your crew left on Jan 11th expressing my issues with the design you took issue with my use of the word “cheesy” when it came to the look delivered in my living/kitchen space. You allowed yourself to get emotionally wound up by the use of this word instead of listening to your customers concerns and just focusing on making it better.

  I advised you at that time I preferred your team arrange to just come and get ALL of the furniture as I no longer wanted to work with you. We subsequently decided to move forward thanks to your team members coming up to smooth things over. However on Jan 27th I made a post to my PERSONAL Instagram page noting I wasn’t happy with original design but that your team was making it right. And in true form, you flew off the handle with a barrage of DMs and text messages which again were not PROFESSIONAL in nature.

  I responded to your messages explaining that it was not my intent to defame your business as you suggested.

  cosmetic bath update

  3000 days

  Be aware. I hired them for a very small cosmetic bathroom remodel and it has been over a month and they have done just enough work (damage) to make the total bath unusable. I allowed for 6 days for the work to be done but they did not show up the first 2 days. I was notified by e-mail the evening before. Over 4 weekends they may show 1 day but not the next. No phone call or notification. Apparently I work for them instead of the other way around. This company is has no regard for your time or your property. Save your sanity and your wallet - DO NOT HIRE!!!!
