Space 3 Interiors

I moved a small Brooklyn apartment from a big suburban house a few years ago and I didn’t know where to start. Erin was perfect, she worked within my budget, was easily available, lined up contractors for painting and updating closet space, and overall made me feel as if my being comfortable in my home was just as important to her as to me! When I eventually move I will use her again if she’s still available.

My fiancé and I used Erin’s Design-​For-​A-​Day service for our new apartment. It is our first home together, and we are both artists who live and work at home, so having simple, comfortable and separate spaces for living and working are very important.
Erin met with us in our home and was very understanding of our needs. She asked tons of questions to make sure she didn’t recommend something that we wouldn’t be interested in. She took measurements and left. A week later, she gave us a room-​by-​room portfolio that included floor plans, pictures of furniture and accessories, as well as links to make purchases online. It balanced my taste for bold colors with my fiancé’s inclination for more neutral tones. We were both happy and it was awesome!
We also had Erin come shopping with us for our major furniture purchases, which was great for making last-​minute changes and decisions.
Overall, we had an amazing experience with Erin, especially for the price we paid, and we are really happy and comfortable in our live/​work space.

all i can say is WOW!!! and then i would say: go, hire erin!!! seriously, my husband and i suddenly found ourselves needing to renovate a rental in NYC. we had no time or energy to deal; unfortunately we also didn’t have a lot of money. in my dreams i imagined a person who would have fabulous taste and great connections who could hook us up with beautiful stuff at a great price. this person that we would hire would make up for the cost of hiring them bc in the long run they would save us money. and everything would look great, better and cheaper than if we had done it. armed with this dream, i hit craigslist. well, i got my dream!!! erin is SUPER organized, has FANTASTIC taste, is totally AFFORDABLE, and SAVED US MONEY. she knew just what to get where, ordered most of it herself except for the things that it made more sense for us to order. she came in on time, on budget, and was insanely tireless and resourceful. PROFESSIONAL, devoted to the the cause, and a true pleasure. the few things we didn’t like she just took right back and got something else. THE PLACE LOOKS GREAT. seriously, hire her. think no more. she will save you money and make your place look like it does in your dreams. thank you craigslist!!!

Like many New Yorkers, my family of three is squeezed into a too-​small apartment. While I am confident in my design choices, I know I can’t handle spatial relations at all. Tired of living in spaces that were never quite right, I decided to get professional help. I live near Pratt and was going to try to find a student to work with my very low budget, but decided to look on Craig’s. I stumbled across Erin’s «Design for a Day» and thought she would be a perfect fit. I was right.
Erin started the process with a free, yet thorough consultation via email. Once I decided to move forward, Erin sent me an amazing questionnaire which really helped me figure out what I wanted in my space. (I’m sure there could have been more phone interaction, but with a baby at home, email was so much easier.)
Erin was incredibly flexible with scheduling and when she arrived at my apartment, I knew it was the start of something great. She never made me feel bad about my minuscule budget, didn’t suggest anything I couldn’t afford and truly listened to what I was looking for. I adore the plan she created for our apartment. I can use what I already have and add pieces as my budget allows.
I only hope I can still afford Erin when we move to our next apartment. She’s going to be in demand.

im so happy that i ment erin. she really helped me with my space. i met her thru a friend in san francisco last summer. she was here for just a couple months — i guess she normally lives in n.y. my boyfriend and i bought a place here. design is really important to us and we had been spending tons of time on it until we got stuck and completely lost motivation. then swept in erin. she totally got us back on track.
she recommended a great paint color for our bedroom, she moved our furniture around in ways we had never thought of to make more space, and she led me to some online stores where i could get a few things i needed but couldnt find elsewhere.
she was awesome to work with, giving me many other sugestions that i could then do slowly over time as my budget allowed. and even though i was so sad to have her move back to n. y she has still been very helpful by letting me send her photos of where im at and still giving me advice and feedback over the phone or email.
i totally recommend working with erin. not only does she know her stuff, but she is super sweet and easy to work with. she really takes your personal style and budget into consideration.
