Hiring an interior designer felt like an intimidating step for us especially because we're renting…read more Not only are you trusting a stranger to turn a house into a home, but it's a BIG investment. BUT I can confidently say, working with Alicia has been a DREAM! When my husband and I moved into our new house, I cried for the first week because it didn't quite feel "home-y" like I had thought it would. In comes Pretty In Order... The process was SO SMOOTH, she was into of hearing our desires and responding quickly! My only advice? TRUST ALICIAS JUDGEMENT. I suck at interior anything, which is why we hired her, a professional, who knows what she's doing. While I loved a majority of the items we agreed on, some of them I wasn't sure about but I couldn't find anything else so I decided to trust that Alicia wouldn't recommend something she didn't 100% believe in. And sure enough, she was right. Seeing all the items come together in our space SHOCKED me and I feel like we had the perfect balance of me listening to her advice, while she also would hear my ideas/concerns and make any adjustments to make sure we were happy. Anywhooo, now I never want to leave my home and my husband and I can't wait to raise our children here

I have hired 1st Stage for multiple properties over the years. In the past, they generally did…read moregreat work and I was impressed with their staging style, professionalism, availability, and pricing. That said, my most recent experience was disappointing. I had them stage a modern townhouse in Costa Mesa near the beach. Unfortunately, the staging style they chose did not match the aesthetic of the property at all. I am not a designer, so I typically trust their vision and let them take the lead. This time, I reached out to their team and simply asked if we could swap out a few items to make the space feel more modern or beachy. I was told I would need to pay a restocking fee. That response was frustrating. I had referred them many jobs and clients in the past, and while the fee itself was not a large amount, it felt unnecessary and left a bad impression. They did eventually waive the fee, which I appreciated, but the situation already felt mishandled. Fast forward a bit. The property did not sell, and I requested that it be de-staged. Their team came out a few days later and removed the furniture. A few months after that, they emailed both me and my client, who was the actual party to the staging contract, claiming there was a prorated balance due for a few extra days the furniture remained in the home. The amount was under $400. The contract was between my client and 1st Stage, not me, so I was confused as to why I was included. Shortly after, Mark Sutton emailed me directly asking if I could take care of the payment by the next day. I found that extremely unprofessional. Agents are the ones who bring them business, and asking me to personally pay an invoice that had nothing to do with me showed a real lack of business judgment. I expressed my disappointment with their customer service, and the only response I received was a payment link. If you are looking for a stager who truly feels like a partner and values long-term relationships, I would think twice before using this company. In my experience, once an issue arises, you are treated like just another number, and preserving relationships does not seem to be a priority.

I got the opportunity to work with Kate Griffin on an organization job that I needed for my home. I…read morecontacted her one week & she scheduled our appt. for early the following week. Which was such a breath of fresh air in this very active real estate market. Being a Realtor. I know all companies that are associated with real estate are experiencing lots of volume so that was very quick considering the market. To be honest I was in such need of moving this project forward. What a wonderful blessing we got started right away! I had moved into a new home and with the exception of a desk/chair and a bed. I only brought items that fit in a box. Or went in the closet. I initially contacted Blythe so I can get a design to get some furniture etc. but I had boxes all around the parameter of my home and couldn't get to the design until we went through all the boxes and had everything organized and put away. Over the years we can accumulate so many items that are so precious. IE: just to name one category. I had been saving a variety of keep sake items from over the years that were also in cardboard boxes and felt stuck not knowing what to do with them. I didn't know where to start. When Kate arrived she rolled up her sleeves and got to work. We opened every box and went through absolutely everything. She made what looked so overwhelming a breeze. She was able to help me discern what to keep and what to purge. I had a hard time parting ways with items I hadn't used in I can't even remember the last time I had used them. I even had kept boxes from vacuums and other appliances that she kindly pointed out were taking up space that we could use to organize other items in. Apparently, I needed the permission to get rid of it. Which when I did get rid of them. It felt freeing! We sorted through all sorts of items. Anywhere, from a variety of keep sakes (my daughter trophy's, various photos, bday and holiday cards I had collected over the years), office supplies, to electronics (she helped me discern what to keep - and what to recycle - phew - so nice to know you can recycle electronics), kitchen cabinets, cleaning supplies, cleaning appliances in a closet, to paperwork that needed to be shredded and had piled up over time (which I got done), misc. bathroom items, linen closet to labeling. By the time we were done it was after 6pm and we had lot of empty cardboard boxes to recycle. Even though she had been here for 4 hours on a intense and detailed job.... with a mask on... On a hot day. She wanted to ensure she didn't leave any task for that day not completed. She offered to help me break down and take out every last box (I live on the 3rd floor) which we did. Then we scheduled an appt. for the next day so we could get some containers etc. to efficiently organize the items. Bye bye cardboard boxes. What started off as a 3 hour process. Ended up being a 9 hour job over a span of 3 days. I'm so grateful Kate was available 3 days in a row to keep the flow of the process going. I can go on and on. When you don't know where to start it's sure great to have someone who is a professional organizer help you. Kate is experienced, professional, amazing, friendly, funny, jovial and someone you will feel comfortable having in your home.

I would never recommend Hope's services. We hired Hope to assist us with designing two bathrooms…read more She simply chose item placed them and made a Pinterest board. Furthermore, Hope told us we would have no issues purchasing the items, however the vanity was sold out and she never provided an alternative as a back-up for the second-rate design. Hope also selected a wallpaper, we went to purchase the wallpaper (only needing a small amount) but the roll was for over 134 sqft. and cost $1800.00. We told Hope the selection of wallpaper did not make since because we would be throwing most of the roll away (wasting $1200.00) and asked for an alternative and she ignored us. I loved the wall paper but who throws away $1200.00. Complete waste of money to hire Hope. If you do don't say you were not warned!!!

am so thankful I came across Olive And Oak Interiors on Instagram…read more Initially, I had some very specific options in mind and thankfully Hope was instrumental in thoughtfully explaining why some things would or would not work in my overall design. While I wanted to resist and push back on those few things, I also wanted to trust the process and I am SO glad that I did. For example, I REALLY wanted cork flooring, or so I thought. In the end, cork really didn't fit our budget or overall aesthetic and we went with hard wood floors throughout the entire house. They are gorgeous and even the flooring contractor that installed them pines over them every time he has come back to see them. They changed THE ENTIRE look of our house. It was the very first thing that we did and it created a beautiful foundation, literally, that we then designed everything around. I say "we" but really it was ALL Olive And Oak Interiors. Hope sent an overall look and feel for the house sending a very comprehensive plan for each room that we were focusing on - entry, formal living room (which is still quite casual), kitchen, dining and main living areas. She sent a few different options for furnishings and decor for each space that I could mix and match. And only for a few things I had her source additional options. We also met at a custom furniture showroom to design a piece of furniture that would have cost me at least 2x as much had I ordered it from one of the big mail-order furniture stores. We were able to customize dimensions, cushion density, reinforce the spring construction, select the furniture base accents, and upgrade to a higher-grade performance fabric at a fraction of the cost - well worth the $ spent to have Hope helping me pick out all the details. Soon after I picked out the styles to move forward with, Hope went on maternity leave. She made sure I had EVERYTHING I needed to keep my designs moving forward while she was on leave. At first I was leary of mostly communicating with Hope via email, but this proved to be extremely efficient as I can only imagine for her juggling multiple projects it's a better use of her time. For me as the client it was perfect for having the emails to reference, especially when sources and links were provided. What I also loved about working with Olive And Oak Interiors is they are willing to provide as much or as little detail as I was comfortable with. I wanted help right down to the tablescapes, throw pillows, plants and wall decor. I truly believe this is where the entire look and feel came together. Without the right details to balance the space, it would not have looked the way I wanted, which is why I contacted a designer in the first place. We are only able to complete about 70% of her designs due to budget constraints and we hope to complete our initial projects in a year or so. But I will absolutely be looking to Olive And Oak Interiors to helps us move forward with 3 bathroom renovations, an office, guest room and our master bedroom designs after that. Olive + Oak Interiors have been extremely communicative and thorough since my initial contact. I am thrilled about how our space is coming together and will post photos once we have a few more details buttoned up. This is one of the longest reviews I have ever written but investing in your home is one of the most important decisions you will make and spend money on. Hope will work with you within your budget to create an updated and timeless space that you will absolutely love. I have never had the luxury of working with a designer before and that decision has turned out to be the best decision yet - at least with regards to our new home. Thank you Hope and Olive + Oak Interiors. We knew our house had so much potential and we now love being at home in our beautiful new surroundings.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS We cannot recommend Hide Studio or Hanin…read moreSmith in any way. What started as an exciting project that we patiently saved for turned into one of the most frustrating and expensive experiences we've ever had with a business. Hanin presents herself as professional, caring and passionate but in reality is quite opposite. She lacks accountability, is dismissive, and refuses to address concerns. Instead, she twists things around and makes personal jabs. She basically WASHED HER HANDS with us once we raised concerns and dissatisfaction with our room after the install day. From the beginning, there were red flags regarding transparency and communication. Despite our concerns, we trusted Hanin and Dominique to execute our vision. I provided an organized, detailed list of items- including dimensions, rooms, how many etc. based on my prior experience working in an interior design studio. I specifically emphasized the need for performance fabric (due to a cat, dog, kids and entertaining) and appropriately scaled furniture. These were the two main reasons we hired professional designers. This should of made it simple to have all the specifications. Yet, despite clear requests, they IGNORED OUR SPECIFICATIONS and delivered items that didn't align with what we desired. So once we raised concerns, instead of taking responsibility or trying to come to some resolution, they hid behind rigid, one-sided policies rather than making an effort to correct or make things right. Hanin repeatedly DEFLECTED BLAME and refused to engage in a reasonable discussion about solutions. Her only offer was to buy back items at a fraction of what we just paid- but only if we spent even more money ordering replacements through her. NO THANK YOU. Major Issues We Experienced: * Payed over 50% for window treatments we never received. Hanin canceled the labor, but we never received the fabric and hardware. * Spent $2000 on accessories during install day that we never saw before or approved. They were boxed up as Hanin delayed pickup for weeks. We returned 90% of them and still have not received the credit. She also charged pick up & restocking fees. She kept pulling money out of the credit we had through wire transfer. * Received a sofa in the wrong size. We payed for a 98"L x 35"H x 41"D, but what arrived was 94"L x 31 'H x 39"D. The back skirt was also defective. When we addressed the issue, Hanin claimed WE MEASURED IT WRONG and refused to fix it. We had no choice but to buy another sofa from elsewhere, which added unnecessary costs. *Ordered a sofa table that would of been 2" taller than the back of the sofa that came in too short. When we tried to cancel due to the backorder and other sizing issues, she only refunded 50%. * A coffee table that we now have to sell at a loss. The color is completely off and doesn't coordinate with anything in the room. *Four Lounge chairs that are comically short. We should have double checked whether Hide Studio actually honored our specifications for PERFORMANCE FABRICS AND CORRECT SIZING. Instead, Hanin's response was, "You approved them." But isn't it a designer's job to ensure client requests are met and that the room looks like a professional did it? * Two side sofa's that we assumed were in performance fabric turned out to be dry clean only. One of our biggest priorities in hiring a designer was sourcing durable, easy to clean fabrics that could withstand pets, kids, and everyday life. Despite emphasizing this need, Hanin provided sofas that are not performance fabric at all. We found they are grade S. Now, our cat has already marked them with his nails (with trim and caps), and we need to cover them every day just to prevent further damage. This completely defeats the purpose of investing in new furniture. *Paid over $3600 in warehouse fees and never received a breakdown or clear invoicing. After multiple attempts to resolve these issues fairly. Hanin has been unwilling to negotiate in good faith. We even attempted mediation- which was clearly outlined in the contract- but she outright DECLINED. She said we were harassing her. At this point, our only option is legal action. The lack of professionalism, responsibility and customer service is STAGGERING. I really tried to avoid writing a negative review and hoped that she would come to some kind of resolution after many months. We would of been happy with getting partial buy backs and returning the items that weren't right but that was never an option she gave us. I feel compelled to share our experience to help someone else avoid this situation. If you are looking for a designer who truly listens, respects their clients and takes accountability, LOOK ELSEWHERE. There are plenty of talented and ethical designers out there that wont leave you fighting for refunds on misrepresented items or bad design. Do yourself a favor and avoid this firm. If we can help just a few people then this review will be worth sharing.
