Since my professional training as an Interior Designer in residential and commercial properties, I have come to treasure the experiences I have on a daily basis--transforming spaces into beautiful and functional places.

Through my own experience, I have identified several sources of anxiety in relation to decorating and design. The most daunting of course is budget. The opportunities are obvious if you have a large budget, however on a limited budget we are forced to look at pieces we already have and reinvent them. Choosing the right paint colours, reupholstering an old chair, adding pillows with cheerful and colourful patterns, bold or less patterned wallpaper in an entryway, powder room, or even on a focal wall in a dining room can update and revitalize your surroundings.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Anne O’Neill, Oct. 2021**

> My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Moya to give our home a new look.We required colour change,art arrangement and decor.
> Moya did an awesome job she is such an professional.We are so pleased with the end result and totally enjoy our new space.
> We highly recommend Moya.

**★★★★★ — HU-398576463, Nov. 2020**

> I have worked with Moya several times of the years but most recently I received her help on some of my design choices and colour selections for our full home remodel.   Moya is so patient and professional and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her as we move back into our home.  Thank you Moya!

**★★★★★ — Heather Martin, Jan. 2020**

> Working with Moya on our bedroom and office project was a flawless and fun experience. She guided our vision for the design from start to project completion with innovative and original ideas - a fresh perspective that resulted in a design we are thrilled with. She enabled us to complete the rooms in a timely and organized fashion- it was an absolute pleasure to work with Moya and her design talent. Looking forward to more projects in future !

**★★★★★ — HU-424381672, Dec. 2019**

> Helped with design and decor in a new condo I moved into. There weren’t any major renovations involved, however Moya helped select paint colours, light fixtures, tiling, draperies, carpets, furniture and accessories. While being respectful of my taste, her selections were modern and beautiful. As well, Moya hired professional vendors and contractors to complete the project.

**★★★★★ — Jane Howe, Aug. 2019**

> Moya was recommended to us from a designer in PEI who helped us with our summer cottage. She had seen Moya's work featured in houzz and felt her design and style would be a perfect fit. We felt so comfortable with Moya as she worked with us to help update our space while still maintaining our personal style. Moya helped us to work with what we had and encouraged us to open our minds to modern updates that still fit with the style of our home. Moya was accessible and easy to reach for quick questions and suggestions along the way. Her sense of style and design far exceeded what we had anticipated and we look forward to our next project!!

**★★★★★ — Joanne Gibbons, May 2019**

> Moya was exactly what we needed for our renovation!  I really could not say enough about how positive of an experience it was in working with her.   It was a large renovation and she was involved every step of the way on all of our interior finishes; flooring, kitchen design, lighting, fireplace, paint colors, and now we are onto furnishings.  She is very warm and inviting and really listens to what you want to achieve from the space and guides you in the right direction.  I would not hesitate to use her again, and if you are planning a renovation or even a spruce up with new furniture and paint she will make sure you get the look you imagine for your space.

**★★★★★ — Joanne Saunders, May 2019**

> I just have say it was an amazing experience we with Moya. She really took her time and explained lots of things to us.  The colours she picked out for our rooms are absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend her.

**★★★★★ — Paul S., Nov. 2018**

> Moya is amazing! Very friendly and professional and an absolute joy to work with. For someone like me who is "design challenged", I felt great relief knowing that Moya would make my condo renovation an outstanding success. She was patient, kind and understanding every step of the way especially since I didn't have a clear vision in mind for my remodeling. Moya's suggestions really helped make my project hugely successful.

**Comment from MOYA O'NEILL:**

> Thank you Paul for your kind and very generous comments....it was an absolute pleasure!

**★★★★★ — Steve, Nov. 2018**

> Excellent service! Moya was always available to meet at the house or at suppliers locations to ensure that we got everything we needed. We are extremely pleased with the results and plan to use Moya's services again in the near future and would certainly recommend her to friends and family!

**★★★★★ — Aiden Flynn, Oct. 2018**

> So many thanks to Moya.  The St. John's Arts and Culture Centre project was a huge undertaking including carpets, seating, and furniture accents.  Moya made sure that our colour and fabric selections met our functional requirements, but also wanted to make sure that they enhanced the unique wood and stone features of the building.  Her work has made our concourse and theatre vibrant again, and we are already receiving great compliments on the new look for the ACC.   I would highly recommend Moya, for job very big and small.

**Comment from MOYA O'NEILL:**

> Thank you Aiden and Arts and Culture Centre....it was a pleasure!...This center is and will always be a historical and cultural part of our beautiful city....I am honoured to have been a part of this experience. Thank You

**★★★★★ — Hilary Wicks, Dec. 2017**

> I can't recommend Moya highly enough! We hit a stand still with a number of projects in our new home and she was able to assist us in arranging to have them all completed in a very short time frame. We are very pleased with the completed work.

**★★★★★ — Amy Clark, Dec. 2017**

> Thank you so much for always making the residents of Saint Luke's Home's a priority in  you busy schedule. I can confidently say that every client that uses the new Respite room will feel, calm, relaxed and tranquil during their stay. Your design expertise and talent, along with your professionalism is second to none and cannot be duplicated any where in the industry.

**Comment from MOYA O'NEILL:**

> Thank you Amy for always giving me he opportunity to work with St.Lukes and for the beautiful kind words. I’m passionate about what I do and the best part is I get to meet people like you.
> I’m looking forward to continuing other projects that are ongoing at St.Lukes at this time.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Ugh! Still cannot decide paint color.☹️** *(in Paint)*

This small bedroom with little light, Navajo White trim (BM) and a chair rail - none of which I can change or remove is very challenging to paint. I would like to go lighter/brighter but finding few light colors go with off white trim. If I go more cream below the chair rail, will that work? I am not crazy about the top being dark and the lower being lighter but I do not mind the top color - which the paint can gives not idea what color it is - which is also why a challenge to match. Or should I just go all gray top and bottom to be safe. That is my most preferences color. 🤔

A: I agree with comments that suggest to paint all the same color if white:  top, rail and lower including baseboard. My favorite white right now is BM OC17 Dove White.
Good Luck!
