Without Tina, my dream apartment would not exist. She helped me make our space a home. I already…read morehad some ideas before we started working together and she was wonderful truly listening to the things I wanted and incorporating them into her ideas. Her eye for material and color is spot on. She pushed me to go outside my comfort zone which elevated the look and feel of the space. The flow from our entry way into a large living/dining space and our photo wall of memories makes me smile every time I come home. I appreciated her effort to stay within my budget .. finding less expensive but quality pieces in a few places so that I could get my must haves. It truly was a pleasure to work with her.

She transformed the Studio 300 sq ft to have distinct living, dining, sleeping, and working spaces. She tamed the chaos and created a tranquil space employing textures, artwork, storage, and layout. Our daughter and her puppy love their place. We found the perfect BPC 2 bedroom and needing it move in ready in just 4 weeks, she created a livable contemporary design with custom artwork, sourcing new furnishings, which we never would have picked ourselves, but love, and coordinated all painters and any contractors. On move in day, we filled the pantry, hung our clothes and just started living. What a treat to not have had to worry and just enjoy our new place. No matter what your space, Tina can work her design magic and make it stunningly, comfortably yours.

I absolutely loved everything about my wedding alterations. The planning and commutation was great,…read morealways on time and the space is also very fun and eccentric. My dress was 3 sizes too big by the time I was reading to wear it. It still came out great, and very affordable.

I owe Linda my whole heart and life. To say I'm grateful to find Linda at Nights in White Satin is…read morean understatement. Linda made sure my wedding dress and traditional Chinese dress were absolutely fitting me and ready to go for my big day. The pricing is fair and very reasonable. She's a positive force and as I tell all my loved ones: "she works magic" I had received wedding dress with 7 months left and it fit PERFECT and only needed height tailoring. Try it with 4 months left, still perfect. 1 month of working out later with 3 months left to the wedding, I gained muscle, the dress didn't fit anymore and I was panicking. Linda came up with many options on how to make this work. She also engrained in me the most important part about dress shopping for the wedding: "the dress fits to you, not you fitting into the dress" and it changed the way I looked at the process. She made me feel positive about my body and feeling good for the wedding. I got my Chinese tea ceremony dress with 2 months to go as well. It needed minor tailoring in the sleeves and to be taken in. Linda also took this on in addition to the white wedding gown. Everything was perfect. Linda even took time in the last appointment to ensure my sister knew how to tie up the dress and latch the bustle. I'm a first generation Asian American and don't know much about western / American wedding culture and traditions. Linda made sure she educated me and I trusted her all the way. She was absolutely worth driving from Hartford to Bridgeport all of the weeks for fittings, and was even flexible when one appointment I had a family emergency and she was able to make it all work. As I got to know Linda more, I learned she's studied fashion design and has a degree in it, she's got 35+ years of experience, and has even made wedding gowns from scratch if you give her enough time. I'm truly truly a believer that Linda works magic. I highly recommend Nights in White Satin and love Linda's work! You won't be disappointed.

They unpacked our boxes and organized our apartment and storage unit from top to bottom with efficiency, thoughtfulness and attention to detail. They had a lot of practical and creative solutions to making our space work for our day-to-day with a baby and a large dog, and helped to implement systems to keep us organized in the long term. They were worth every penny and I found their pricing to be very reasonable. Above all, they are kind, funny, absolutely lovely people to work with and I can't wait to have them over for a refresh in a few months!

I am very happy with my decision to use Affordable Interior Design and with Stephanie, the designer…read moreI worked with. First, the design questionnaire was excellent - especially for someone like me who doesn't know much about interior design. It was able to identify my design preferences by showing different living rooms and asking which ones were to my liking. In addition, its questions served as a great preparation for the home visit, so Stephanie came well prepared for our meeting. Stephanie was very creative, professional, and helpful throughout the process. When she visited my place, we decided on a design together, in an efficient process, where she was able to translate my needs and preferences to interior design decisions and furniture choices. After two weeks, she assembled a furniture shopping list, within the budget I requested. I purchased all items she suggested. The furniture items were sourced from many furniture stores and I felt she did an excellent job finding items that were beautiful, fit the overall design, and reasonably priced. I get nothing but compliments about my place (even from my Architect friend who is quite stingy with design related complements...). Well done Stephanie! As to the cost-effectiveness of the service - had I done this process myself (even with friends help), I would have surely spent more time, more money, getting worse results. Finally, the service was well structured and transparent. Good stuff overall.

It became a "while you're at it" project, and we wound up gutting the whole first floor, as well as the 2 upstairs bathrooms. Kevin joined us at the outset and immediately grasped our life style and our tastes and created spaces that reflect who we are and the way we live. He miraculously updated the interior while maintaining the original colonial architecture and character, creating timeless spaces. He was generous with his time and energy, giving us time to make choices and decisions, gently nudging us in another direction when he intuitively knew we would be happier with the end result. Kevin maintained a positive attitude throughout the process, buoying up us as we hit all the inevitable snags and delays, and remains a good friend and advisor to this day. He comes with our highest compliments and recommendation.

Kevin Dix designed a new build of a 3600 sq ft coastal vacation home used by my family a friends…read more He quickly understood my goals for the property and was able to translate that into an architectural design that fit the way I wanted to use the home. The house beautifully fit on the island where it is located and Kevin designed the home to take into account the best attributes of my lot. He also took care of all of the design as well with thoughtful interior finishes that beautifully fit the form and function of the vacation home. He worked from the beginning to get our feedback on the direction he was recommending and to unify the big picture decisions for the build with the details that would create the feel and style of the finished project. His vision in the architectural design was then effectively brought to life through excellent communications with the general contractor overseeing the construction after I selected a contractor using his design documentation in the bidding process. Our vacation home is a joy for my family and all of the extended family and friends with whom we share time in this special place. The design makes a wow first impression, but more importantly it has had an enduring quality for family and loved ones who love having time with one another in this home. I can't imagine how Ii would have built a vacation home like this without the vision and attention to detail that Kevin brought to the project.
