### All 5 reviews

**★★★★★ — Jane Lem, March 2020**

> I cannot say enough about Nancy, it was an absolute pleasure to work with her.  My contractor highly recommended her and deservedly so.
> Her skills for designing are amazing and she gave me the confidence to think outside the box.  I am so pleased at the design we ultimately chose.
> Turning the renovated house into a home was such a joy as Nancy knew how to make my vision into a reality.  She works with a wonderful group of trades people whose material and workmanship is top notch. In addition she came in on time and on budget.
> I have already given her name to people who have seen the transformation and are very impressed.

**Comment from Creating Home:**

> Ah Jane, That is so wonderful to hear, I enjoyed getting to know you and your family! I feel lucky to have had you as my clients, so thank you for trusting me and letting me be a part of making your house into a home. I hope you will enjoy it for years to come.
> All the best to you, Nancy

**★★★★★ — Anca Barbuc, Oct. 2018**

> Nancy has designed our kitchen and we are extremely happy with the end result. We had plenty of time together to explore what we like and all our important points were incorporated in the design. Her experience and expertise made our kitchen the centerpiece of the house. Nancy was always available for questions, support in purchasing needed components and provided amazing research. We are more than happy to work together in the future.

**Comment from Creating Home:**

> Thank you so much Anca, I enjoyed working with you and Chris, and would love to help you with any projects you may have in the future.

**★★★★★ — Athina, Feb. 2017**

> We recently worked with Nancy on a major kitchen renovation and we're thrilled with the final result. I had worked with Nancy before on a small living room project so I contacted her since she has now expanded her design services.
>
> As well as doing the kitchen design, Nancy worked well with our contractor, kitchen company and the various sub contractors, overseeing design details, and sourcing some elements of the project.
>
> What we most appreciate about Nancy's style is her willingness to work with clients at a level that suits them best, either fully involved or partially, as needed. She also listened to us and really tried to 'get' our style. At the same time, she steered us to other ideas if she thought we needed it--to save us from ourselves at times! But in the end she left the decisions to us, even when she respectfully disagreed.
>
> Thanks, Nancy!

**Comment from Creating Home:**

> Thank you Tina!
> It was a pleasure working with you and Albert.
> I love how everything turned out. I hope you really enjoy your new kitchen.
> Nancy

**★★★★★ — Leslie Rosenthal, July 2016**

> Over the years, Nancy has made curtains, slipcovers and headboards for my home.  Every project is beautiful, professionally sewn, completed on time, and within budget.  But the headboard that she just made for my son's bedroom exceeded my expectations.  It is not the typical headboard where just a small part is upholstered and the rest is "legs" that are attached to the bed frame.  Nancy's headboards are crafted by hand with a solid wood frame that is ALL upholstered.  Much more comfortable and  luxurious!

**Comment from Creating Home:**

> Thanks so much Leslie, I'm so glad to hear that!

**★★★★★ — Natasha Bairos, Aug. 2015**

> Nancy has an excellent eye for design. She's now successfully mapped out the layout for 3 rooms in my house -- identifying key pieces to fill the space, selecting colour schemes, etc. -- and executed on all the touches to complete each space to my vision. Even when I thought I had a vision, she was able to help me figure out why some ideas would or wouldn't work; I wouldn't have been able to foresee these things without her experienced eye. I would highly recommend Nancy for any design work ... you'll be thrilled watching your rooms transform into functional and beautiful spaces before your eyes.

  - Description: This Victoria Village bungalow had too many walls and closed in spaces. The home owner wanted an open and inviting space suitable for entertaining her friends and family. Thanks to Kurt Schmidt and his team from Spaces Construction, they did a fabulous job! By removing 3 walls it enabled us to enlarge her kitchen, so it could be open to the dining room which was now open to the living room. Perfect for entertaining. Thanks to Mike Giannantonio of Treehouse Fine cabinetry, the cabinetry looks ama…

  - Location: Toronto, ON
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: This uptown condo's kitchen needed an overhaul. It was dark and not very functional. The home owners wanted a fresh modern feel, while making it more functional. The corner cabinets were basically unusable and working in a corner is also not very functional. What we ended up with is a fresh, modern, bright and functional space.

  - Description: This lovely Riverdale Kitchen just had a complete makeover. We were able to meet the clients' list of must-haves and nice-to-haves, such as banquette seating, quartz countertop, small broom closet, a pantry cabinet, appliance garage with a pull-out for their stand mixer, a baking storage section and ample lighting, and as you can see there is plenty of light...everywhere! Credit to Kurt Schmidt of Spaces Construction and your team. You did a beautiful job, your tilers did an awesome job, as did…

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: A Small 640 sq Floating Home is small on space , but big on style. The living room, dining room and kitchen are open to each other to create a large open living space. The kitchen and dining area are still to undergo an update..... The tiny bedroom is made grand with a floor to ceiling curtain headboard which also emphasizes the 9' ceilings throughout the home. The front room needed to serve double duty as the entrance and a home office. The built-in desk and shelving unit where designed to fit…

  - Description: This newly built Condo in Bloor West Village was purchased with an upgraded kitchen. But they wanted to upgrade it even more by adding a Cambria Island Countertop, stunning! The island needed to act as their dining table as well, so comfortable stools where in order, and these fit the bill. Take the time and sit on them before you buy.

  - Description: This East End Toronto Victorian Home, built in 1911 was stripped of character and turned into 2 very small 1 bedroom apartments. Renovating it back into a 2 + den single dwelling home was in order. Bamboo floors through out the main floor with an open living Dining Room floor plan. Replacing all the carpeted baseboards back to the glorious 9" baseboards was key to restore some of it's former glory.

  - Description: This Tiny dark Kitchen was in need of a complete overhaul. The only thing that stayed in the same place was the dishwasher. The sink was moved to under the window to have a nice view of the back yard. One of the entry's to the kitchen was closed in providing more useable space, creating more of a galley layout.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Countertop** *(in Photo Questions)*

Beautiful kitchen!  What type/color are the countertops?  thanks

A: Thanks so much, the countertop is Caesarstone, colour Frosty Carrina 5141.

**Q: Color choice for drapes** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I am making some drapes to layer over my Roman Shades.  What color would coordinate the best with my leopard print shades?

A: I would go with a darker side panel as well, black or dark caramel, the leopard is a strong pattern and to balance it in the room I would do a darker side panel, with a longer rod as well.

**Q: Can I get a table like this one** *(in Photo Questions)*

I believe this table is probably one of a kind, but can I get something like this? as ravin@aol.com

A: To be honest I have no idea where you can get a table like this, I came across it going through my fathers home after he passed away and fell in love with it, so I don't know where he got it. You could possibly find a fine woodworker and have it replicated...good luck.
