    My realtor referred Jack Manes in response to "I want to find someone great to design our apartment" -- and Jack was all that and more! Although we did a lot of our work remotely (she and apartment were in NY, we were in SF), it was a seamless process. Everything she chose was perfect and she was so easy to work with, and she has a slew of people she trusts for painting and cabinetry. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without reservation.

    Kitchen Before

    Summary: If you want someone to treat your project like they are building a home for their own family then look no farther.  Josh and Jack Manes are masterfully skilled at their craft, hard working, and highly responsive/communicative. We hired Josh Manes Architecture for architectural and expediting services for our New York City apartment. Our goals were to transform an outdated 3-bedroom into a modern home for a growing family where we desired to balance the use of space between living/entertaining, working, and of course ample storage. It's easy to rate a business when things go smoothly, but it's even easier to give a glowing recommendation when things get hard and you have the chance to see what people are really made of.  For us, this came in the form of quarantine beginning a few days after we closed and presenting us with the challenge of planning our project from our respective living rooms without the normal face to face interaction you would typically expect. Josh and Jack rose to the occasion over and over again. During the planning phase we couldn't of been more impressed by how they managed to visualize our space and considered each and every detail of our project.  They methodically weighed the trade-offs required for each decision in reshaping our floor plan and selecting our finished materials.   Even more importantly, they made us feel comfortable with their recommendations even when we could only see a small sample. It was incredibly hard to visualize the full room and required us to put a ton of trust and faith in Josh and Jack - trust they earned and maintained throughout the project. Josh made quick work of the NYC Department of Building's process to secure our permits. He rushed over to file the paperwork days after they reopened and his dedication helped us avoid the significant delays that many other projects, who were not as well prepared, faced in getting their permits approved. We were again impressed by the support we received as we moved into the build phase. We couldn't be happier with the final product, it totally exceeded our expectations! Did I mention we stayed on budget!?

    Jennifer is a great interior designer! She really listens, works quickly,…read moreand has undeniable talent. When we bought our new apartment, I needed some help with choosing the right paint colors and finishes since I was overwhelmed by the options and wanted to make sure our new place had character and warmth. Jennifer took a look at my new place and helped me plan where all my existing furniture would fit and then we discussed goals for what new pieces would be needed. Then she got paint samples which she tested in different parts of the apartment with different lighting. In addition to those choices, she gave me a good sense of what to look for in case I went to the paint store myself for additional colors. She also recommended a painter to do the actual painting. Everything turned out wonderfully and she pulled together some unique colors & looks that hadn't even occurred to me. After the painting job was completed, I hired her for advice and some general help in choosing the right kind of carpet, furniture, window treatments, etc. Again, she presented great picks for my budget. I also liked that she - being a mom herself - knew a lot about products that are safe and suitable for a family with children, while not compromising on the look. Jennifer was great with my crazy schedule (a toddler, job, moving, etc). She is very diligent, follows up and you will never wonder when something will be delivered or completed. Her pricing is very reasonable. I have recommended her to several friends and everyone has been thrilled.

Jennifer helped us on many levels from making sure the design of our renovated home was not only beautiful but also functional and would last through time. She had a difficult task to come up with designs that were appealing to both of us which I thought was nearly impossible. Jennifer brought a tremendous amount of creativity and suggested ideas/layouts/colors that we never thought of or imagined before....and while it sometimes took us a while to get comfortable with some of these out-of-the-box ideas, we were very happy we implemented them. The risks she had us take paid off. We are incredibly happy with the way our home turned out and would hire her again in a heart beat.

I really appreciated her ability to make our home feel elevated while still feeling "us." I was especially impressed by her ability to both pay attention to detail while still keeping the big picture in mind - and keeping the project rolling along, given our timeline. She was also incredibly communicative throughout the process and personally a joy to work with. We couldn't be happier with our new space and are especially excited about the nursery of our dreams. Thank you, Eva!!

She transformed my living room, bedroom, and balcony into vibrant, elegant spaces that now feel both stylish and personal. From the start, Eva took the time to understand my vision for each room. She then created beautiful design boards that pulled from a mix of sources (Article, West Elm, and others), presenting options that were bright, colorful, and sophisticated. Her taste is impeccable. What really sets Eva apart, though, is how seamless and stress-free she makes the process. She gave incredible individual attention, managed all the small details--ordering everything on my behalf, sending receipts, coordinating delivery--and even found contractors to help with installation. I felt completely taken care of from start to finish. Eva is a true professional with an incredible eye and a warm, collaborative approach. I can't recommend her highly enough!

    Working with Alicia, the lead designer of Broooklinteriors made my life easier and way more…read morebeautiful! I found Brooklinteriors on instagram and was originally struck by how, unlike many designers, Alicia did not adhere to a single style across all her projects, but really understood the style of each client. I checked a bunch of her references (because I was very nervous about finding someone on social media!) and they all said the same thing: you get so much more than what you're paying for when you work with Brooklinteriors. I have found that to be true a hundred times over. Alicia helped us put the finishing touches on our home renovation project--sourcing and positioning cabinet pulls, fixing lighting problems, and designing and upholstering a window seat cushion. Then we moved on the furnishings--the fun part. After creating a inspiration board, Alicia researched and presented me with many options for dining tables, couches, chairs, and more. I was struck by all the interesting, often local, and affordable companies she sourced pieces from--pillows from two sisters who are based in my neighborhood, a USA made leather ottoman with a cool table that nests on top-- she introduced me to so many brands and craftsmen that I had never heard of! She found gorgeous art and accessories made by artists that we are very happy to showcase in our home. Alicia managed the ordering, schedule, and even a couple tricky returns/refunds for everything we picked. She is meticulous and her attention to detail throughout the entire process was super-human! Throughout the project, she was respectful of our budget--never suggesting or pushing anything outrageous and often finding pieces that were priced lower than I anticipated paying. She was also very open to feedback, if a piece wasn't quite right, she wasn't married to it, and would quickly find new options for that space. The overall effect is a home that truly represents our lifestyle and aesthetic, but with more unique and interesting elements than we could have designed on our own. I'm eager to do another part of my house so Alicia can work with us again. That being said, she never really stops working on a project--she thinks of me often for little additions (like art) that we may want to add to the space and pops by whenever I have questions about what to do next. I started working with Alicia at a time when our lives were pretty chaotic--I was starting my own business and moving into a new home, among other things--it was so nice to have Alicia leading the design. She made my life SO MUCH EASIER and besides that, she's just a lovely human being to have around.

Her guidance on everything from furniture placement to accents to wall decor was not only spot on, but she had tremendous patience as we changed our mind often and would start again on ideas or concepts. When things arrived we didn't like, she quickly helped us pivot, and was always available via FaceTime to look at the room with us. She also took into account the materials being safe for our baby, which is so important. Her work is beautiful, personalized and thoughtful and if you're looking for a designer I would recommend Brooklinteriors 10/10!!
