Vanessa Francis

We did a 2 hour in person consult with Vanessa to mostly plan & design our mainfloor. We spent most of our time designing a more functional kitchen layout and solidifying the perfect sage green for our kitchen cabinet remodel. Vanessa helped sketch out a kitchen layout in detail and gave us a plan we could then take to our kitchen company to confidently have them execute on. Overall we are the most greatful for Vanessa pushing us to think more carefully about some decisions we had initially not prioritized - removing popcorn ceiling throughout the home & removing the bulkhead in the kitchen for cabinets to go to the ceiling. Ultimately we prioritized both of those decisions in our reno and in the end are so happy we did! It really elevated the space and made the renovation work we did significantly more impactful.

I hired Vanessa for a one-hour consultation to get renovation advice about my powder room. Before my call with Vanessa, I had already purchased the vanity, floor tile, and countertop. However, I needed Vanessa to provide her expert advice on paint colours, lighting, bathroom fixtures, and finishes. I was afraid of spending money and making mistakes on these things. Vanessa provided answers and suggestions to all of my questions. Her advice gave me the confidence to make purchases and move forward with my project. After the consultation, Vanessa happily responded to an additional question I had. I'm looking forward to working with Vanessa again on future home projects.

I had a wonderful very long distance consultation with Vanessa (I'm in the U.S., she's in Cananda). She was able to help me clarify some important choices and her knowledge of decorating strategies is impressive. I will work with her again.

Vanessa has been wonderful to work with. Not only does she have great taste, but she is experienced, logical and asks all the right questions. We are in love with the rooms Vanessa helped us design and decorate - both beautiful and practical. I highly recommend Vanessa!

Vanessa was absolutely AMAZING to work with during our kitchen renovation!! She provided exceptional service and was an invaluable wealth of knowledge in planning and designing our kitchen. We love our new kitchen and would never have survived the process without her.

We worked with Vanessa on our recent kitchen renovation. She was easy to work with and very responsive to our questions. She was an invaluable resource for us. She gave practical solutions to potential obstacles and was great at connecting us to sources of products that I would never have thought to check out. She gave us confidence in our ideas and helped shape them into reality. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Kate Lacy

Zoom consultations are such a great idea!. I wish I’d done this sooner. I admire Vanessa’s style and want to give our small, dated rooms a more classic, modern feel. She gave me suggestions for my living and dining rooms, including paint, furniture and placement, rug, lighting and worked with a few pieces I already own. A lot can be covered in 2 hours and I’m looking forward to implementing these ideas. Will also be seeking Vanessa’s advice on my entranceway.

My husband and I purchased an old side split property which required a total Reno: new main floor plan, new kitchen floor plan design, new hardwood floor, wall color selection, bathroom Reno, paint selection for the exterior....it was a LONG list. We hired Vanessa to help us with achieving everything on our wish list - she did it all and did an AMAZING job!! Vanessa was able to transform an old fragmented space into a beautifully designed interior. Our project is almost completed and we are very pleased with Vanessa’s design and vision - we love her choices of colors, textures, and design elements. We highly recommend Vanessa - She is super talented and is able to translate clients wish list into reality ❤️

Vanessa Francis is an extremely knowledgeable and helpful professional. She designed and executed a perfect design for my kitchen, family room and master bathroom. She was reliable and easily approachable, always on hand to answer questions and tackle any questions that arose along the way. She was able to meet the practical needs of my family while incorporating our personal style with her impeccable taste and overall vision. We could not be happier with the end result which exceeded our expectations.

Vanessa’s consultation was worth every dollar and more. She is extremely professional and prepared to assist. She didn’t waste any time and offered such great solutions for my design dilemma. She showed me different images of materials and furniture that would compliment my space. I highly recommend spending the money for an initial consultation. On top of it all, she’s such a lovely lady. I enjoyed my time with her!! Thank you Vanessa. I am super pumped to tackle my project now.

The best decision of the entire renovation was working with Vanessa. She has a strong sense of space and understated elegance. She is one of a kind. Every recommendation she made was perfect. I could not be more grateful. Vanessa made my life so much easier and my home a real home. I can only provide the highest recommendation for this professional.

Vanessa Francis was a pleasure to work with! She is very warm and friendly. Even just for a consultation, she left me with confidence and great ideas to make my home better. I would definitely recommend her.
