She completely redesigned our kitchen because it was outdated. What I liked best about working with Kim was that she listened to what we wanted, and was very amenable to our needs and ideas. Her out of the box solutions made the space highly functional, modern and stylish. Kim ensured everything was done in a timely manner. She sourced the best materials and finishes in keeping with our budget. It looks fantastic! **★★★★★ — HU-464069318, March 2019** > We had the pleasure of working with Kim Teron Design Studios in 2017 when my husband and I renovated our new home. It was our first experience going through a major renovation, and it turned out beautifully! We owe much of that success to Kim’s expertise and attention to detail. She was with us for our kitchen design and renovation. The space was completely transformed, which created many challenges along the way regarding spacing, sizing, plumbing, electrical, etc. I was constantly reassured when she would see an issue before it happened. She always disclosed it to us, communicated effectively with the trades involved, and continued to keep the final vision in mind. > > From a design perspective, we could not have been happier. It has now been over 1 year, and we still love everything about our kitchen area from the colour choices to its very efficient functionality. It is a space our friends and family love as well. Kim considered things that we would never have thought of or known we wanted. As well, she came up with custom ideas to fit our needs. Furthermore, we really liked that she was open to exploring new connections and resources on her end. Because of that, we have a very unique and one of a kind Walnut-Wood island. We appreciated her approach when helping us choose our design layouts, finishes, etc. The key words being “our choices.” > > Kim was very hands-on, gave well thought-out options, but also gave expert support and recommendations in helping us renovation-newbies make decisions. What I think allowed all of this to come to fruition was her desire, as a designer, to take the time to get to know us. She was always easily reached, preferred to take time and go over things in person, honest and personable, respected our budget, and clearly puts her clients first. **★★★★★ — Rocke Robertson, March 2019** > "I've never experienced a major kitchen renovation before, so engaging a kitchen designer was a big step which came with some trepidation. Normally, one would reach out to several designers and get their ideas and a feel for what they bring to the table. Meeting Kim once was enough to know that our hunt was over. Her approach was professional: everything from organizational skills, communication, flexibility and most importantly, her design skills were excellent. From the design phases, the inevitable problem solving, through to project completion, both ourselves and even the trades were impressed with Kim's help and attention to detail. We are thrilled with our new kitchen. It goes without saying, this is an easy recommendation to anyone contemplating a kitchen renovation. I even recommend asking for Kim's special custom wine racks!" I would not hesitate in saying that you will be well served by engaging Kim for any renovation in your home." > > \- Rocke Robertson **★★★★★ — Micheline McELLIGOTT, March 2019** > I had many consultations with Kim on the masterpiece she created at Cathedral Hill with the merger of the 3 suites on the 12th floor. She is brilliant, so full of amazing ideas, ones with so much flair. Her attention to detail sets her apart - she is more upscale New York City inspired (where she trained for many years) which is totally evident in her design ideas. She is constantly traveling to stay up to date with the latest developments in various elements of design making people’s homes a show stopper. Design brilliance is in her genes, I would have no hesitation in recommending Kim Teron. **★★★★★ — Karen Cluff, March 2019** > Kim modernized our kitchen, which was almost 15 years old, and created a luxurious and affordable high-end look. > > Kim’s attention to detail and enthusiasm for the project was unparalleled. She is a great listener, spoke with me to get an understanding of what was needed, and presented ideas that were just the right solution. She offers a high degree of personalized service and is very focused on achieving a top quality effect through creative thinking and expertise while minimizing the cost. ## Selected projects - [Manor Park Kitchen and Sunroom Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/manor-park-kitchen-and-sunroom-renovation-pj-vj~5534313) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 7 - Description: Our clients were an energetic and outgoing couple that loved life, laughter and their family including two well-loved Dachshund dogs.
