If you are looking to furnish an empty space, stop what you're doing and at least set up a call…read morewith the Splendid & Swanky team. For background, I have no interest in interior design and have no business spending real money on furniture I know nothing about. But I found myself in a situation where I had nothing for a space that had to be smartly utilized. And I wanted it to be beautiful. Was this really the time to experiment with Pinterest while spending thousands of dollars? & I needed the furniture to last long enough that I wouldn't have to think about this again for a very, very long time. I also needed to buy everything during a pandemic, when everything was delayed... So I turned to an option I never had considered before - hiring interior designers. I had heard great things about this team and wanted to explore sourcing this huge project out to them. It's a pretty simple process. You go to their website and fill out an intake form that introduces yourself and the project. Then they'll sell up a virtual call to meet and discuss your style, and budget. Then they came and looked at the space, took measurements. Then they pitched a proposal. From there you have to make some decisions. They are going to present you with options that may be outside of your budget. This is where we gotta grow up a little and recognize that if you want nice things, this is how much that actually cost. I was happy to increase my original proposed budget to get what I needed. But there were some peices that I wanted to spend less on and they quickly came back with lower priced options. They were very adaptable there. With that, they placed the order! Over the course of the next few months, the furniture started arriving. They work with a contractor who you can hire (through them, they handle all the admin work) who can assemble, hang, etc do all that work for you. They even came over to make sure everything was hung in the right spots. There is a science and art to design that they are factoring into every decision for your space, and it's worth their fee to get all your nice new furniture all in the right place. They look for beauty and functionality in every detail of the space. So now I have this gorgeous dining room [photo provided]. Our guests are blown away whenever they walk even towards the space. It's exactly what I wanted when I described the target ambiance to the team. Beautiful, relaxed, warm, stylish. I can't tell you how happy I am with my experience with Splendid & Swanky and the confidence it brought me about my home. If you're able to, whenever you're able to, hire professionals to do things you can't do well. It'll always be worth it. Here is the proof.

My family and I recently moved into a new house, which required decorating and purchasing multiple…read morerooms' worth of furniture. We had never worked with an interior designer before, but we knew an expert's assistance would be helpful given the amount of furniture and other decorating assistance we needed. Ali was a great listener and developed a vision for the house that fit both our lifestyle and tastes. She introduced us to pieces and patterns beyond those we would have found on our own. For each room, she provided multiple choices for furniture, patterns, rugs, etc.--at various price points and styles--and made sure that we could mix and match the different pieces while maintaining the overall vision for the room. In addition to her aesthetic talents, Ali was a huge help with logistics--placing orders, securing samples, and staying on top of suppliers and vendors. With the ongoing supply delays due to the pandemic, Ali kept us up to date as shipping and delivery dates changed. Overall, Ali is a lovely person and very easy to work with--highly communicative throughout the process. We will certainly keep her in mind for our future interior decorating needs!

Great work from Ali Horwitz. Look forward to seeing her continued success around DC and Baltimore.read more

The team at Hudson & Crane has given us a GORGEOUS space built around our vision but more wonderful than our wildest dreams. The process began by sharing our design aesthetic ideas, color preferences and goals for our home. The team got to know us personally and helped us articulate the "feel" we were aiming for. They presented a sample design with choices for each item in the look. We were ecstatic with the design, the pieces and how fabulously the team understood our vision! The furniture pieces, wallpapers and lighting choices were beautiful and unique. We knew early on, based on H&C's selections that we were going to be thrilled with the end result. The team has been responsive throughout the process as we made our decisions and awaited pieces. They work with a warehouse that receives, inspects and stores items to be delivered in batches. We've really loved that the pieces are inspected and the team handles any issues seamlessly for us. We are extremely happy with our completed space! We love living in it, and everyone who visits our home raves about the look. We're very happy that we put our trust in the Hudson & Crane team, they definitely delivered.

She has a great eye for design and color and is easy to talk to and personable-- this was especially important to me since I wanted to work with someone that I can "click" with. There are tons of design options out there and I can easily spend multiple days just trying to pick out a single piece of furniture, let alone trying to make it look good and work with an entire room, so Colleen's services are invaluable. I just let her and her team do the hard work of putting together color palettes, layouts and mood boards and I tweak little details to my liking if I want. My entire house now looks instagrammable (can't help but notice how good rooms look in the background when I take pictures of the kids around the house) and I'm enjoying its looks as well as function every single day thanks to Colleen and RedBird!

She came into my small condo with a loud voice despite me repeatedly telling her my baby son was sleeping. After seeing the window, I asked for a ballpark and she said $1000. I made it clear I don't plan on living here for more than a couple of years so I'm going off price. I picked the cheapest fabric and a couple others. No quote was under $2000 (more expensive than Shade Store). I told her this was double what we discussed and more expensive than the Shade Store quote so I wouldn't be moving forward. I started heading back to my room to run to a work call and she loudly demands, 'aren't you going to see me out?' I explained that I needed to return to work. I live in a 1000 sq ft condo and my nanny was in the kitchen by the front door so it's unclear why she needed a formal send-off. This agent had probably 50 feet to walk to get to my front door. She proceeded to get aggressive and loud despite my repeated asks for her to quiet down given my son was sleeping. She insisted her voice wasn't loud and proceeded to insult me. I kept asking her to please leave my home immediately and had to threaten to call the police if she insisted on continuing to cause a disturbance. The fact this woman is in Sales boggles my mind.
