“Working as an interior designer at a time when the industry is burdened with unprecedented demand and critical delays in supplies and services, Erin is a welcome anomaly. She takes every project very seriously and works with clarity and gusto to complete them on time, providing reliable expectations that myself and my clients find refreshing and rewarding.”

– VATI LOCKE, LIBERTAS ART & DESIGN, ASHEVILLE NC
“Erin is not only extremely professional and timely, she is the only person that I trust to reupholster furnishings for myself and my clients. Time and time again, she produces beautiful work that exceeds expectations. From start to finish, I have always had an enjoyable experience working with Erin. It’s very rewarding, being able to collaborate with her to reupholster pieces that I know will be cherished for years to come.”

— KRISTEN LEVY, THE DESIGN GALLERY, WAYNESVILLE NC
“I have worked with Erin over many years, and she is a gifted artist in her craft. On those projects I had a more clear idea of what I was looking for, she delivered meticulously. And on the occasions I needed her guidance and creativity, the results were beautiful, one-of-a-kind items. She even came to my home once to reupholster a headboard that would have been difficult for me to get to her. I highly recommend Erin for any upholstery project.”

— KIT RAINES, ASHEVILLE NC
“I have had the pleasure of working with Erin for 7 years. Her work as an upholsterer is always detailed and beautifully executed. As an artist, she also has the ability to guide in the design process and turn that old chair into flair. I will continue to recommend her talents to anyone I know.”

— ANNA KRAUSE, FAUX-FINISH ARTIST, ASHEVILLE NC
“If you’re looking for a true professional in the world of “all things upholstered”, no need to look any further! Erin from The Recovery Studio has made my life so much easier as a retailer of fine furniture. For over 10 years, I have referred The Recovery Studio to my clients. I know that Erin will be timely, efficient and honest. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Erin on a few creative ventures that have made my work so much more fun and interesting. Thank you, Erin!”

— KIM HUBBARD, K2 STUDIO, AHSEVILLE NC
“Erin and The Recovery Studio always go above and beyond to make sure the client work I present to them is just perfect upon completion! They are my go-to for custom pillows and upholstery and have been for many years. The interiors of their pillows are just as professionally finished as the exterior, which speaks volumes when it comes to any custom work or upholstery piece. The Recovery Studio promptly delivers… in every sense of the word.”

— JODIE HAMRICK, MAH DESIGNS LLC, ASHEVILLE NC
