Remember W Network’s The Decorating Challenge television series? It reached cult status ages ago and I was fortunate enough to be invited to join the roster of designers turning the “OMG” into the “ahhh”. The first episode featured me turning a, “can’t-think-of-what-to-do-with-it-so-we-ignore-it-except-it’s-a-great-spot-to-put-the-kitty-litter” kind of room to a sexy entertaining area that’s both a bar and a reading area. The second episode had me jazzing up a plain-jane bedroom into a glamorous haven for a teenaged jewellery designer. Have a closer look above to find out which room was featured in The Decorating Challenge best-of book.
I’m also a past member of the Advisory Board for Humber College’s Interior Decorating Diploma curriculum. We brainstormed. We jammed. We agreed. We argued. The goal was figure out how best to prepare graduates for the real world and how to keep the program on the cutting edge of the industry. Now how cool is that?!
If you’re still feeling unsure (really?!), have a look at what these formerly skeptical clients had to say:
“Erica is immensely insightful, provocative and thoughtful. She has the gift of grasping your thoughts, then envisioning and projecting them into your life. Truly irreplaceable.”
– A., Calgary, AB
“The Design at Your Doorstep box? My friends are still drooling.”
– B., Vancouver, BC
“I’ve never worked with a designer before but Erica made it effortless. Everything was spelled out for me so all I had to do was follow the directions and I had a totally new space. I highly recommend her.”
– A., Chicago, IL
“Amazing, amazing, amazing. I LOVE it. I never could have done this myself. Never. I feel like I’m living in an entirely different home – a home that finally feels like ME.”
– M., Toronto, ON
“This is beyond my wildest dreams…you looked into my soul…I need to collect myself. I will get back with a proper response once I can stop drooling on my keyboard… Wow!”
– R., London, ON
All I had to do was be myself and suddenly everything I wanted and needed showed up on the doorstep. I was so excited when it arrived I actually did a little jig.”
– L., Miami, FL
“Erica was a pleasure to work with. I knew my office needed some serious reorganization and redecoration, but I really wasn’t sure what I wanted. Through a few short conversations, Erica asked some key questions and was able to design a plan that completely suited my needs and my style.”
– L., London, ON
“Mind-blowing. That is all.”
– N., Seattle, WA
