They were able to work with installed features that were recently added to the home but might not have been ideal if starting from scratch, that saved us time and money. But their ability to enhance each room with new and exciting finishes, furniture and art work made it a home with something to say. I think the home says, "come in and relax, we aren't fussy but we are very classy." While I am not a designer, I do have strong opinions and my likes/dislikes might be challenging for some folks. One talent Denise and the team had was to sort through so many options and bring to me what I liked without too much distraction. Their attention to detail and responsiveness always made me feel like I was a priority client even though this was not one of their largest projects. I personally enjoyed Denise and her staff and think of them as friends. Please give them a call, I highly recommend them!

We loved everything she did, including custom furniture. Due to economic times, we could not move on. Segway to a few months back. We found her number from an old invoice and called her. We didn't hear back for a couple of weeks as she said she was out of town. When she called, we booked an appt. for the following week. We stayed home and waited, and waited, and waited! No show, no call. The following day we received a call from somebody in her office saying Amy had an emergency and wouuld call mid-August. Never happened. So much for being reliable.

I figured I knew how…read moreto make my furnished rentals look the way it should and didn't need help, But when I saw the amazing transformations JAC Interiors had done to places on there website I set up a consultation. They did three vacation rentals for us. They ended up expressing a Chic beach look and feel that was inspiring in ways that I would have never been able to do on my own. There was so much I didn't know about furniture, color, etc that they taught me while doing this.  Not only that, they saved me a ton of money because they knew every secret spot to get furniture, art, fabric, cheaper than anyplace else.  They also found original fun pieces of art. They completely reinvented each of the places and did it based on us telling them to make it hip. Each place is now comfortable but also inspiring and fun. If we decide to do any more vacation rentals,  I would definitely use them again because they did such a great job! The tenants we have had love the places and its all thanks to Christine and Andrea.

Raquel Contreras of Studio 9 was great and very easy to work with! It was my first time using an interior designer and I didn't know what to expect. She made every step of the process fun and painless. She helped us with drapery for our living room, dining area and kitchen. She also helped me choose paint colors for every room in our Spanish home and I am extremely happy with the end result. She took all the hard work out of my hands and presented beautiful options for me to choose from. I agree with the other reviewer, Raquel accommodated my schedule and met me at times that were convenient for my busy schedule. My husband and I love the interior design choices made with Raquel and we are complimented by all that visit our home! I can't wait to work with her on future projects in our home. I highly recommend Studio 9 to all you are looking for great style at a reasonable price. ps. I will post pictures once I figure out how!

The colors were definitely out of my comfort zone but Raquel's expertise helped me see the bigger picture and I was very pleased with the final results. I would highly recommend Raquel from Studio9 and her team to anyone looking to hire a designer, Raquel really listens to her clients and delivers in every way she can. She gives the client different options and accommodates her schedule to the clients. Would definitely work with Studio9 in the future.

We have had multiple construction and renovation projects done in California, Florida, and New…read moreYork, and execution of this project by the designer was highly unprofessional. The principal quoted us, in writing and in advance, for a local reconstruction/remodeling project, and her actual charges over 10 months more than tripled that written estimate, without significant change in the scope of the remodeling. The goal was always to complete the design in a budget conscious manner, and she had acknowledged that from the beginning. We had discussed through emails, over the phone, and in person my problem with her utilizing multiple layers of personnel duplication (especially lower and mid-level designers, and herself as principal), which drove up and duplicated costs for the same aspect of design, as well as unrequested multiple drawings rather than discussion of layout with the client before performing duplicative and layered services. She spoke of collaboratively working with the architect and the GC to make efficient use of the design dollar. That clearly did not occur. Her subsequent explanation was the "change of scope", though in reality the only change of scope was addition of general backyard layout designs. Another explanation was that the architect was semi-retired and she took on some aspects of the architectural work, without being a licensed architect herself. Additionally there have subsequently been multiple faulty and inaccurate plan issues from her work, which required multiple revisions, construction plan changes, and costly remedies and project delay. While I merely asked her to discount her final $6000+ invoice billed just before we terminated her service, she spoke of us not having "integrity" to pay her inflated and padded bills which more than tripled her initial written estimate. The project was not even close to being completed, despite her tripled "design" charges. My mistake was to trust AboutSpace to have the integrity of performing their job professionally and without racking up billable hours for her own and not her client's benefits. I more than understand her practice pattern, however late. She intentionally overbilled and ignored my explicit instructions (verbally, by email, and in person) not to duplicate work and over-design repeatedly. Her flawed work and faulty design have cost us tens if not hundreds of thousands more than the budget on the construction end. We are reporting her to the BBB, local chambers of commerce, and any government agencies willing to look into her unprofessional conduct and incompetence in this transaction to protect other consumers.
