Interior Designers & Decorators

About Us

My approach to design is unique; being a certified interior designer with a degree in construction management blends the two sides of the business that need to work together for successful remodels. I view space from two perspectives – “the pretty” and “the practical”, providing clients with multiple options to fit a variety of budgets. See it before you build it! I'll help you plan and visualize your space with floor plans and 3D renderings so you'll know exactly what your space will look like!

I had the pleasure of working with Erin on a kitchen remodel that encompassed moving 2 load bearing walls, enlarging a kitchen and creating separate bar and mud room areas. She has great ideas and extensive knowledge about space planning and an eye for details! She was very kind and amazing to work with. I highly recommend her for you kitchen, bath and/or home remodel project!

We love Erin! She helped us with the kitchen and bath remodel of our Morgan Hill rental property in June 2016. We were very happy with that remodel and we had no hesitation to ask for her help on the more extensive renovation/remodel of the kitchen, bath, dining and laundry area of our Aptos house. She is a woman of many talents- from space planning/floor plans/renderings to finishings, paint color, appliance choices, furniture and rug selections. Erin’s 3-D renderings were invaluable in helping us to envision the potential of our space, and she was very patient with our numerous requests for new renderings based upon our own ideas. She is extremely professional, fair, down to earth, and honest. My husband and I have different tastes, and she was respectful of both of our needs and inputs, helping us to find a style that satisfied both of us. We absolutely LOVE our new spaces and could not have done it without Erin! We highly recommend her. Thank you Erin!!

Erin is a true delight to work with; she quickly evaluates your style preferences and has so many talents! We initially used Erin for space planning, which she supplies floor plans and renderings for, interior paint colors, and furniture selection. She has also assisted us with exterior paint colors and outside decor and front door selection. We just LOVE her!

I had the pleasure of working with Erin on our kitchen project. I was convinced that we would have to "bump out" an exterior wall, to enlarge our kitchen. Erin followed my lead and designed the kitchen accordingly. However, I was stunned when she also submitted a second option design proposal, that kept the footprint exactly the same, but used the existing space more thoughtfully, saving us thousands of dollars in permitting and engineering. In the end, we went with Erin's proposal. The kitchen is beautiful and we couldn't be happier. I would never embark on a renovation project without a designer and she is top-notch. I highly recommend her because of she is extremely competent, has great communication skills, is organized and follows through. She was extremely respectful about our ideas and made incredible suggestions along the way too. She really listened and I feel we got our dream kitchen. Thank you Erin!!!
