**★★★★★ — HU-363944301, Nov. 2021**

> It has been an absolute pleasure working with Carly to re-design our small space family room.  Carly has a very detailed intake system, asks many questions about our interests, mood, look and feel of the space we are looking to re-design and then executes flawlessly.  She listened carefully to all our concerns, and incorporated numerous, creative design elements into our space, all while maintaining a pre-determined timeline.  As a result, we have a brand new living area in our home that we love.  Carly has a great eye and mind for space design and aesthetic appeal, is super personable and wonderful to work with.  I'll be recommending her to anyone in need of interior design consultation.

**★★★★★ — hellomare, Aug. 2021**

> We worked with Carly on helping us decide on paint colours for our entire home. She was meticulous, thoughtful and very professional. Highly recommend her services. It is obvious she puts alot of thought and is very passionate about interior design and colours! Thanks Carly for an amazing experience!

**★★★★★ — Miqdad Jaffer, Dec. 2020**

> We worked with Carly to set up our living room, dining room, and entryway in our condo. Due to COVID we worked entirely in a virtual manner, but that didn't seem to slow down the process or hinder the quality of the results in any way shape or form.
>
> Carly was responsive, understanding, and very accommodating to our needs and our many questions and back-and-forth emails. She guided us through the process and took our preferences and different styles into account the whole way. The process included questionnaires, 3D layouts, mood boards, furniture, decor, and paint selection, and everything along the way. We've never worked with a designer and were unsure what type of experience it would end up being, and Carly made it a memorable one. We're already thinking about working with her on the next project.

**Comment from 1smallspace:**

> Thank Miqdad for such a thoughtful review. It was alot of fun working with you and Tasneem on your space. I'm so glad that you've found the experience a good one and you're excited about your home again!

**★★★★★ — HU-822113316, Oct. 2020**

> Carly has been extremely helpful and I love my new space. Her layout is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. She communicated well and was very helpful in accommodating my requests.

**Comment from 1smallspace:**

> Thank you Paul for your positive feedback! I really enjoyed working on your open-concept space and love seeing you enjoy your new home!

**★★★★★ — Wendy Liu, Aug. 2019**

> Carly is diligent in research, tracking the budget, and making decisions easy by providing clear samples and layouts. We love how our church lobby turned out as a place to welcome people and let people take a seat to rest. Thank you Carly!

**★★★★★ — Shola Odusanya, Jan. 2019**

> I moved into a new space and wanted it to be all that I have ever dreamed of wanting my space to look like. After attempting and failing(LOL), I reached out to Carly after seeing one of her work on Structube's Instragram.
> She started out with analyzing my space(in person) to help make it beautiful and yet functional. She did a 3D model proposal which was amazing! and then she carefully sourced and recommended items needed for the space. She was ALWAYS available for any questions I had or any other furniture preference I wanted that was out of what we agreed on.
>
> The best part was that I also learnt a great deal on how to put a space together!
>
> Carly was more than Excellent! Very knowledge and knows her craft so well. Loved working with her!! I would recommend her again and again.

**★★★★★ — Maria Yanez, Dec. 2018**

> Carly is a pleasure to work with, She's smart, extremely creative and greatly organized. She really understands your needs and it is very patience at guiding you through the process. I really enjoyed decorating my living/dining room area with her; my condo is 705 sq ft so the space is very limited, but Carly helped me prioritize and understand that less is more.
>
> Thank you Carly, I will be recommending you to all my family and friends, and I can't wait to begin a new project with you.

**Comment from 1smallspace:**

> Thank you so much for these kind words. This means so much to me and it was such a pleasure and treat for me to work with you! Hope to work with you again soon!
