She was inviolved from initial planning all the way to completion, assisting us with every design aspect along the way. She has an incredible sense of colour and style that helped to transform our old, dark space into a beautiful bright, fun and family friendly space. Having kids of her own , she knows what works for a growing family. I know that I couldn't have gotten through the stress of this major renovation without her. She is incredibly knowledgeable, talented and experienced and is an absolute pleasure to work with. I continue to consult with Jennifer with all of my design related questions and I would not hesitate recommend her to any of my closest friends. **★★★★★ — Fine Interiors By Susan Inc., March 2016** > We have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer and her team for over five years and have nothing but great experiences with them. It is truly inspiring to work with a designer who is on top of her game, has a unique design vision, and sincerely values her clients and their needs. She always comes up with the ideal concept for your project because she invests the time necessary to build an intuition about your dream space. As a design resource center, our business depends on great clients like Jennifer and her team and we absolutely recommend Barlow Reid Design. **★★★★★ — skaufman13, June 2015** > Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only is she flawless in her ability to put together stunning rooms, but she can easily adapt to client's specific tastes and existing pieces. She is extremely patient (I would know - as likely her most indecisive client) and incredibly accommodating in terms of schedules, needs and budget. She is also a great communicator and very responsive - both qualities that I value when trying to complete a project in a timely manner. She was also great at pushing boundaries just enough to make things interesting but still reflect my taste. Jennifer has essentially redone my entire main floor - and I could not be happier with the results. Everything is stunning. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to redesign their space. **★★★★★ — John Szucs, May 2015** > We hired Jennifer and her team when we moved into a new home. We had a whole main floor to decorate (kitchen, family room, dining room, living room) and, while we had some ideas of our own, we knew we needed help! Jennifer was amazing to work with. She has a great personality, and she really listened to our ideas and needs for the space (e.g, kid friendly!). While respecting our views, she also came up with creative ideas of her own that we absolutely loved and had never thought of. Once we had agreed a plan, she and her team took over and ran the entire process (which is what we needed being a busy family with two working parents and small children). We couldn't be happier with the outcome! We have a beautiful, bright modern new space that the entire family can enjoy. We have recommended Barlow Reid to many friends and look forward to working with Jennifer on future projects. **★★★★ — pringlebarnes, May 2015** > Jennifer and the Barlow Reid team helped my husband and I when we moved into our first home. They renovated our bathroom and did a beautiful job decorating our house. The team was pleasant to work with, had great design ideas and did a wonderful job combining our existing furniture pieces with new, fresh pieces. Our house looks amazing thanks to Barlow Reid! **★★★★★ — Julia Williamson, May 2015** > We used Jennifer Reid's services to re-decorate our new home. She has fabulous taste and helped us create a modern, fresh and youthful look in what was previously a dated and older style. She helped us also source trades people who were all very professional and talented. We love what Jennifer has done and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to re-decorate! **★★★★★ — glucktein, May 2015** > I worked with Barlow Reid from the very beginning of our major home renovation until completion. It was the best decision we made. Jennifer is able to look at a space and immediately visualize how it should be laid out, what kind of furniture would work, what colors to weave together, and how to make it flow with the rest of the house. She is incredible with color and how a specific color will read in a given setting. She and her assistants provide highly professional customer service, running around for a client for deliveries, pick ups and sourcing, to provide a stress-free experience. Jennifer's enthusiasm and affable nature makes me look forward to each of our meetings! **★★★★★ — jessicaoliver, May 2015** > After buying our first house with little time to settle in before welcoming a baby, my husband and I were overwhelmed by the sheer number of decisions required to make our house a home. Jen walked us through everything from paint colours for every wall to fabric swatches for accent pillows. As first time homeowners, Jen provided counsel on where to invest (dining table and living room rug) and where we could skimp (I'll never tell!). > > Unafraid to take risks, Jen encouraged us to have fun and nudged us out of our comfort zone all while respecting our taste and style. Without Jen, we wouldn't have had the guts to go for the most interesting pieces (a modern dining room light fixture and bold pattern on reupholstered arm chairs from my grandmother) in our home which not surprisingly garner the most compliments. > > Jen was able to work within our budget and timelines. I have recommended her to family and friends - both of whom have been delighted with the results. I highly recommend barlow reid design. **★★★★★ — Lara Armour, May 2015** > Working with Jennifer, Ashley and Daphne was a complete pleasure! We were building a new home and I was overwhelmed with all the decisions that I had to make. Jennifer and her team took all the pressure off of me. From the initial consultation to the very final follow up they were professional, thorough, and fun! They listened to my ideas and pointed me in the direction to get the end result I was envisioning. For some rooms they did everything - ideas, sourcing, set up - but for other areas Jennifer came in and gave me advice/approval on what I was planning (i.e. Paint colors, tile purchase). The end result was perfect. I will definitely use Barlow Reid design for any of my future projects and I would recommend them to anyone who asks. **★★★★★ — sophieluc, July 2014** > Jennifer and her team were a delight to work with. With tight deadlines, Jennifer exceeded our expectations. She was able to work with old and new pieces of furniture and made it all work beautifully. Her attention to detail and colour scheme is phenomenal. We can stand in a room together and while I’m trying to envision one chair she already has the floor plan done and the stores of where to buy the furniture. I fully trusted both Jennifer and her assistant in purchasing furniture and/or orders and was always happy with what came back. I would definitely recommend the team and look forward to using them for future projects. **★★★★★ — will\_stewart, July 2014** > We could not be happier with our kitchen renovation and transformation. From our initial meeting, through demolition, and then re-construction, Barlow Reid took the time to ensure everything was perfect. We have a busy household of 5 with our kitchen always a family meeting place. It was dated and not functional. Jennifer and her team completly transformed the space into a bright, modern, open environment that not only works better, but is now our faviouite room in the house. > > Perhpas most importantly for us, Jennifer and her team manged the entire project from begining to end. As busy professionals, we do not have the time to coordinate all the moving parts in the transformation. Fortunately, we did not have to worry about it once. I will certainly use Barlow Reid again and have already recommended her to many others. **★★★★★ — barlowd, July 2014** > Jennifer is easy to work with and always has creative solutions. Excellent experience. great with colour pallets and clean contemporary design. ## Selected projects - [Calgary new build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calgary-new-build-pj-vj~2216631) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 7 - [Heddington Ave. Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heddington-ave-addition-pj-vj~2012493) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: This project was a complete renovation and addition. Every room was back to the studs!

Barlow reid helped create a functional, durable and stunning home for this family of 5 to enjoy for years to come! - [Cranbrooke Ave.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cranbrooke-ave-pj-vj~2012514) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: The client at this project was on a mission to rid her house of beige and brown and update it to something lighter, brighter and more modern. We started with the kitchen and had all of the cabinets painted white with the exception of the island which we chose to paint a mid tone grey. She splurged on new counter tops and a marble backsplash knowing these upgrades were well worth the investment. The result was dramatic and started us onto a bigger project of upgrading the family room, living room… - [Dawlish Ave. transitional main floor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dawlish-ave-transitional-main-floor-pj-vj~1526088) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Hillhurst Blvd Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillhurst-blvd-reno-pj-vj~1523911) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 7 - Description: This home had good bones but was in desperate need of a facelift. The big projects were removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create a more open concept living space, updating the flooring for a more cohesive look and completely re-imagining the wood burning fireplace for a sleek and timeless design. One of the best parts of the house, the brand new laundry room complete with a drying rack and glass tile backsplash! - [Briar Hill modern new build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/briar-hill-modern-new-build-pj-vj~1278021) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Courtleigh Blvd. Transitional Main Floor and Dressing Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/courtleigh-blvd-transitional-main-floor-and-dressing-room-pj-vj~1135409) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: On this project we worked with a young couple on almost every room of the house. They purchased a stately house whose former owner was a single male. They hoped to add a more feminine touch and minimize some of the dark wood. By using soft colours, lots of upholstered pieces and drapery panels we managed to update the traditional feeling of the house to a fresher more contemporary home. - [Courtsfield Ave. Transitional Kitchen and Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/courtsfield-ave-transitional-kitchen-and-family-room-pj-vj~1135452) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This project was a new build. The client hired barlow reid when the house was only a concept so we were able to help guide the process and ensure continuity and flow between the spaces. The client gave us free reign in some rooms while in others used our guidance to pull together the completed room herself. The laundry room is one of my favourite rooms in the house! - [Keewatin Ave. Modern Kitchen, Master Ensuite and Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/keewatin-ave-modern-kitchen-master-ensuite-and-office-pj-vj~1135483) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: This house was a complete gut job! We tore off the back wall, dug out the basement and added a stunning addition. While the front of the house remained more traditional the homeowner wanted a more contemporary look for the addition. The kitchen and master ensuite specifically are crisp, clean and modern. I also adore the special basement walkout that serves as a dual office space and homework room! - [Forest Hill Rd. Contemporary Kitchen, Family Room and Master Ensuite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forest-hill-rd-contemporary-kitchen-family-room-and-master-ensuite-pj-vj~1120652) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: This project was inspired largely by the homes exterior - grand and yet elegant. The client wanted the home to feel luxurious but also approachable and comfortable. Colour was important but used sparingly for key items. We wanted to house to have good flow and visual space so kept the walls varying shades of light gray. The master ensuite with it's simple black and white colour scheme and free standing tub is a showstopper for sure! - [Briar Hill Ave. Contemporary Kitchen & Living Area](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/briar-hill-ave-contemporary-kitchen-and-living-area-pj-vj~569987) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This is a fun family home. It was a complete reno! We filled the expansive wall with kitchen cabinetry and a built-in office nook and I chose a caesarstone island that grabs your attention with its waterfall shape. We added a reflective backsplash and textured pendants above the table for extra umph. Fun green, red and blue accents bring this space to life, and its sleek wipeable surfaces are ideal for a growing family! - [Cortleigh Blvd. Transitional Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cortleigh-blvd-transitional-living-pj-vj~106412) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This home is a our representation of feminine elegance. From fabric patterns to furniture styles this space is beautiful to look at and comfortable to live in! The soft blues and purples are relaxing hues that continue throughout the home. We opted for transitionally styled geometric patterns that are in keeping with the build of the home, and layered those patterns with solids to add contrast and break up the large space. We accessorized with organic shapes and finished with lovely soft flower… - [Glengarry Ave. Contemporary Main Floor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glengarry-ave-contemporary-main-floor-pj-vj~569881) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: In this project we tackled an open concept space.. Dining/Kitchen, Entry, and Living. We loved the rich navy Benjamin Moore wall colour and how it played with our patterned draperies found at 'Fine Interiors By Susan'. This house was pulled together with soft cream furnishings and modern lighting, with punches of pattern and colour. - [Whitney Ave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whitney-ave-pj-vj~863527) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This young couple were looking for one-of-a-kind pieces and statement decor. We designed their main floor with that in mind. The white velvet sofa and Restoration Hardware Versailles chair add movement and really enhance the natural light found in the living room. Gold accents bring warmth, drama and contrast the playful draperies beautifully in the dining room. The family room rug adds texture and comfort, and the dark draperies really frame and ground this large space. With hits of colour and… - [Ranleigh Ave Main Floor, Living Room, Eat- In Kitchen, Dining, Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ranleigh-ave-main-floor-living-room-eat-in-kitchen-dining-family-room-pj-vj~863328) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This project was a great opportunity to use colour! Our clients wanted a modern space, and weren't afraid of colour and its ability to bring a room to life. We designed their living, dining, family rooms and eat-in kitchen. Our favourite pieces in this project are the show stopper dining table by Palazzetti, the green Egg chair, art collage found at Art Interiors, and the custom pink zebra chairs courtesy of Silva Furniture. - [Cortleigh Blvd transitional living and dining room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cortleigh-blvd-transitional-living-and-dining-room-pj-vj~1523918) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 4 - [Sheldrake Blvd Contemporary Main Floor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sheldrake-blvd-contemporary-main-floor-pj-vj~863176) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Our clients moved into this newly built home from Boston. It was a blank slate so we had the pleasure of furnishing it from top to bottom! Our client was extra keen on pieces and fabrics that weren't fussy. The 'second life' purple rug is the show stopper for their family room, with 3 kids and multiple animals they wanted something that could hide the mess, but still had character. We loved the gorgeous teal from the dining room artwork by Emilie Rondeau - so we pulled it through into the living… - [East end Modern Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-end-modern-kitchen-pj-vj~106415) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Heatherwood Dr. Contemporary Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heatherwood-dr-contemporary-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~552531) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: This Kitchen and Breakfast Area were in need of some lightening and brightening! We scrapped the old oak cabinetry and started fresh, giving our clients bright white custom kitchen cabinetry! We introduced a gorgeous Carrara hexagon marble backsplash with beautiful grey veining. It really brings character to those walls, especially when it's lit by the under cabinet lighting. Our drapery fabric set the tone for this space, its a faded paisley damask with hints of green and blue, so we chose our… - [Edinburgh Dr. Transitional Eating & Living Areas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edinburgh-dr-transitional-eating-and-living-areas-pj-vj~569967) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: These family and eating areas were completely bare and in need of comfortable furnishings and fabrics. In the family room we started with this playful yet sophisticated rug as a focal point. The custom sofa contracts beautifully against the surrounding space. In a family room, one must always opt for an ottoman, this one is perfect for putting your feet up and cuddling for a movie! The swivel chair was a show stopper for us, its large and more luxurious than your standard arm chair. It swivels w… [See all 25 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/barlow-reid-design-pfvwus-pf~1384270242) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/115798903/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas - [Catherine](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53032671/list/catherine) — 5 ideas - [Joanna](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57664515/list/joanna) — 4 ideas - [tania](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57583396/list/tania) — 1 idea - [jkulchyski's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11284964/list/jkulchyski-s-ideas) — 9 ideas - [Will](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/44163236/list/will) — 2 ideas - [De Vere](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/34959686/list/de-vere) — 3 ideas - [clare](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29788459/list/clare) — 1 idea - [Denise](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19747679/list/denise) — 1 idea - [Sophie](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18288275/list/sophie) — 5 ideas - [Sandra](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15886322/list/sandra) — 6 ideas - [Leeanne](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15175265/list/leeanne) — 12 ideas [See all 12 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jkulchyski) ## Community Q&A **Q: What colour is the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The wall colour is Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray.
