My family and I recently moved into a new house, which required decorating and purchasing multiple…read morerooms' worth of furniture. We had never worked with an interior designer before, but we knew an expert's assistance would be helpful given the amount of furniture and other decorating assistance we needed. Ali was a great listener and developed a vision for the house that fit both our lifestyle and tastes. She introduced us to pieces and patterns beyond those we would have found on our own. For each room, she provided multiple choices for furniture, patterns, rugs, etc.--at various price points and styles--and made sure that we could mix and match the different pieces while maintaining the overall vision for the room. In addition to her aesthetic talents, Ali was a huge help with logistics--placing orders, securing samples, and staying on top of suppliers and vendors. With the ongoing supply delays due to the pandemic, Ali kept us up to date as shipping and delivery dates changed. Overall, Ali is a lovely person and very easy to work with--highly communicative throughout the process. We will certainly keep her in mind for our future interior decorating needs!

The team at Hudson & Crane has given us a GORGEOUS space built around our vision but more wonderful than our wildest dreams. The process began by sharing our design aesthetic ideas, color preferences and goals for our home. The team got to know us personally and helped us articulate the "feel" we were aiming for. They presented a sample design with choices for each item in the look. We were ecstatic with the design, the pieces and how fabulously the team understood our vision! The furniture pieces, wallpapers and lighting choices were beautiful and unique. We knew early on, based on H&C's selections that we were going to be thrilled with the end result. The team has been responsive throughout the process as we made our decisions and awaited pieces. They work with a warehouse that receives, inspects and stores items to be delivered in batches. We've really loved that the pieces are inspected and the team handles any issues seamlessly for us. We are extremely happy with our completed space! We love living in it, and everyone who visits our home raves about the look. We're very happy that we put our trust in the Hudson & Crane team, they definitely delivered.

Seems very similar to the other yelper's review who said "Call avoidance, unanswered emails, poor planning, lack of follow through, didn't follow directions, and poor job site management." That is also my experience EXACTLY. The price quoted was for painting and replacing a rod in my closet, which I was told would be "easy." After four months and three missed appointments, the rod still hasn't been replaced and my closet is unusable. The paint job was completed satisfactorily but the painters didn't leave the extra paint (which was a unique color) so I am unable do touch up without getting a whole new match mixed. I don't appreciate being ghosted after paying in full and I can not recommend the company.

I do not recommend this company.

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!

David's crew is also very skilled, professional, courteous, and meticulous. They all have a very high sense of quality as evidenced by how well the tile fitting and flooring came out (we live in an old row house so nothing is straightforward). David also has a network of special contractors that he pulls in for special tasks (like installing a glass shower door). Their pricing is also reasonable , especially considering the value and peace of mind you get with David and his crew's professionalism.
