Shumon Sharif (Sunnyside, NY)
Having a 110 inch projection screen made the living room setup quite tricky, but Ada worked her magic and came up with the perfect placement for everything. I am delighted to have picked Ada to decorate my apartment. My fully furnished rooms look bigger now than they looked when empty. Coming home every evening is a joy - as many of my friends like to say, it's the ultimate bachelor's pad! I was baffled with how everything came together in a very precise fashion. I could not have asked for more - the couch dimensions and placement look like it was custom made for the room. The projection screen and entertainment system is placed so well, I have almost given up going to movie theaters. Ada is an amazing person to work with overall - though I most enjoyed how she actively involved me in the transformation of my apartment. I went from believing I had no sense of style to appreciating that Ada somehow managed to squeeze out the "inner style guru" in me ... I am truly happy with Ada's work because it reflects my personality, beliefs, and sense of style - one that I couldn't realize by myself. Working with Ada was an amazing experience. Investing in her services paid for itself many times over ... and I often receive compliments on how gorgeous the apartment is. Plain and simple - Ada ROCKS!! :)
Kelly & Rick Florio (Brooklyn, NY)
Put simply, we feel at home. Ada did a great job incorporating our preferences into our home. Examples include – wedding photos, color schemes, environmentally friendly furniture, and storage solutions from our previous home. The most interesting aspect of these touches is that Ada basically incorporated them without prompting (instead, from observation from our former home and commentary during personal interaction). Each stage has a corresponding creative concept, budget, timeline, and audit stage. We felt involved enough to have a vested personal interest, while relieved to know she had our best interests in mind. Ada is extremely perceptive, highly organized, professional, and budget conscious. In the end our project was successfully
completed and we cannot thank her and the team enough.
Christopher Stevenson (Astoria, New York)
I wanted a nice looking place and I wanted it in a short period of time. Didn't want to be the guy who, after six months, still had stuff packed away in boxes in some corner. Also, my apartment's fairly small, so it was important to design the place in a way that made it feel more spacious. The feeling that I now have about my apartment is summed up in one word: Pride. I also like that Ada is very clear in explaining why one thing works and another doesn't. That's obviously an important part of the process, but it also serves to educate the person. I go over to friends' apartments and find myself mentally moving around furniture, getting rid of colorful or dark pieces, removing a square mirror and replacing it with a round one, etc. I understand the principles behind interior design a lot better than I did a few months ago. Should serve me well in the future. I recommend clients to be very clear about what you want and then have faith in Ada’s ability to design according to your tastes. Think of her as a highly advanced computer that processes info provided by you and comes up with a profile that most closely matches your personality. The more you give it, the more accurate the profile. Ada is smart, perceptive, and very concerned with client’s satisfaction. At no point did I feel like Ada was bleeding me dry when it came to things like billing for hours worked (in fact, it was the opposite - clearly, keeping costs down was a priority - I appreciate that).
Nicole Zinn (New York, NY)
I love my living room! I actually don't have words to express how much I love the picture wall!! The layout is great. Thanks for adding the picture of my nephews. That was a nice surprise. And the picture of the shoes is even better than I remembered! I must have spent half the night just staring at this wall. Fantastic!! Everything else is also great. The black and white stripes are awesome in the entryway! Even though I knew they were going to be there they took me by surprise when I opened the door! It was great! My overall impression of the bedroom design is that it's fantastic! ! Applause, applause, applause to you! You definitely captured the look and feel I was going for. Whoo hoo!!
