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.

I know this company does a ton of work via recommendations but I figured I'd write a review. Even…read moreScale did over 20k worth of work on my house, which is by far the most I've ever spent-- my wife and I not being huge earners--but I got a *TON* done for a very good price at the highest quality. Here's what we had done: Problem- A poorly built pergola structure was dumping rain water under a poorly built gutter, which was leaking into the kitchen drywall and causing the ceiling to near collapse over time. Solution- EvenScale emergency-fixed and painted the kitchen drywall over the weekend, installed new gutters to eliminate first part of the problem. Problem- Roof was 5 years overdue for new shingles and pergola resting on shingles was making this problem worse. Solution- EvenScale came back later once we had chosen special architectural shingles to give the house a rustic cottage look and reroofed the house. They raised the pergola on two supports that fit nicely on top of our patio. At this point, we figured we might as well finish the front path and portico/awning that was falling apart as well. Problem- no landscaper wanted to try and match our front path to the scattered, rustic stone look of our house. We kept getting expensive quotes for uniform gray paver paths. We waned a stepping stone path and a grouted multicolored stone path that arched in front of house. Solution- Roberto and EvenScale worked with us in a large project to do exactly what we wanted, including hand-cutting the stones, hand-selecting the colors, and placing the stones prior to grouting in a pattern the day before so that we had input into the final result. Problem- the awning was old and looked very DYI but wasn't totally rotten, and we didn't want to overspend on a new construction. Solution- EvenScale redesigned the awning over our existing awning, cutting out some of the supports, fitting it with the new gutter, and using painted PVC to give it a taller and more elegant look. Overall, this was a top-notch experience for us as homeowners. We had input into every aspect of the project and got to know to workmen on a personal level as they communicated their plans alongside the foreman and owner. We ended up with the exact look we wanted at about 60 percent of the price we were quoted elsewhere, and these other quotes were "take-it-or-leave-it" quotes that didn't quite make us feel like it was what we wanted. With EvenScale, we got exactly what we dreamed and so for folks who are careful with their money and their home, it was simply put, a dream come true. I urge you not to hesitate if you are interested in getting the highest quality with a very personal touch.

Juan, the project manager, came out and drew up the design on the spot, working from a photo I'd found for inspiration. He incorporated all the measurements, and gave me a very fair quote a few days later.

I couldn't love the results more, and I am looking forward to working with them on a future bathroom renovation. Highly recommend!

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!
