**★★★★★ — Tehmina Peshimam, March 2018**

> When we had Andrew and Susanne from Verve studio come out to give us an estimate, all we knew is that we needed a kitchen makeover. The design ideas they suggested blew our mind away. They gave us amazing possibilities for our space that we could have never envisioned ourselves. We were always kept updated on the progress of the work. And their attention to detail was great. They were on time, within budget and the only way I can put the transformation into words is Magic. They created magic and gave us a kitchen that we love. It is contemporary, functional and beautiful. (I have already recommended them to all our friends.)

**★★★★★ — Jenny Bowden, Jan. 2018**

> Fabulous. I am so pleased with our new kitchen. It was not an easy project because the original kitchen had flaws which were corrected. Verve made great suggestions. The work was professionally done, on time, as promised. I would strongly recommend Verve Studio for any projects you have. I have had bad experiences with other contractors and am so pleased with Verve Studio.

**★★★★★ — Stephanie Bernardi, Nov. 2017**

> We contracted Andrew and his team to finish our basement last year.  He listened to what it was that we were looking for and made great suggestions (such as adding a half bathroom and framing off the laundry room), which were wonderful additions to our home.  Our basement went from being a waste of space to being a warm and cozy TV room that we use regularly.
>
> We liked Andrew's work so much that we contracted him to renovate our master bathroom (a total renovation from top to bottom), our other upstairs full bathroom (total renovation from top to bottom) and our main-floor powder room (non major renovation).  Andrew and his team also did a mini-reno of our main floor by removing the popcorn ceilings in our foyer and living room, removing the old lighting and installing new potlights in our kitchen and dining space.  I am very particular with the work that is being done, and have requested some last minute changes that Andrew has very pleasantly accommodated.  He is also very quick to respond to questions or concerns.
>
> We are very pleased with his work to date and look forward to the renovations being completed!

**★★★★★ — paulwinkley55, Oct. 2017**

> We recently finished a pretty major renovation in our home with Verve Studio.   We had our basement finished which included an entertainment area, a bedroom, a full bathroom and some storage closets.  We also had a our main floor completely modified with the removal of a load wall and a full finish of our main floor.
>
> From our initial meeting with their team right through to the end of the project Verve Studio went above and beyond our expectations and renovated our home in a way we never saw possible.
>
> They were very good at communicating with us about the project and we had regular onsite meetings about progress and finish choices.  They were extremely organized to keep the project moving quickly and to finish within the time-line they set out in the initial quote.
>
> When it came time for the final touch ups they were there promptly to make sure we were happy with the finishing touches.
>
> We had a small leak in our Kitchen sink 2 weeks after completion and they were over right away to tighten a lose connection and fix the deficiency. We were impressed by this promptness.  Obviously Verve cares about their work and their reputation in our community.
>
> We couldn't be happier with the quality of workmanship we had from this company.  We already have a master bathroom Reno in our thoughts and will definatly be contacting them again.
>
> Thanks again Verve.  Nice work!!!

**★★★★★ — Tony Cariati, Sept. 2016**

> Excellent work and great quality. Very professional.  Met Budget Expectations. All Projects were completed in 5 days. All the staff was great.
> Each night they even cleaned up the areas.
> My Family is very happy with the repair and upgrades.
> 5 Star rating for our Family.

**★★★★★ — sbshaw, May 2016**

> We recently had our basement bathroom completely gutted and reno'd. The bathroom prior to the renovation was a mess. It smelled like sewage (which meant something was leaking sewage gas somewhere), it was freezing, the pipes kept on freezing in that room which meant the whole house would freeze. There were no good qualities about the bathroom and we bought the house knowing we'd have to do this reno soon.
>
> Andrew and Susanne are exceptional. They came for the initial visit and within moments I could see how Andrew was taking the time to think critically about what needed to be done. They were courteous, genuine and honest. They never promised something they weren't going to deliver. Andrew was attentive and knowledgeable, and considering he had my father, and engineer, to answer to, that was a big check on my list. The price was not too over the top, and worth every penny. Andrew took the time most days (I would say almost everyday) to call me and tell me how the day went and what was next on the list. He was always around if I had a question, often texting back immediately or calling me within the day. This is something that is incredibly important to me, because I had a lot of questions.
>
> Verve completed our bathroom in the exact time they said they would. Their contract workers they hired to do the work were also exceptional (and I mean, like, the nicest people we've ever met). I would hire Verve again for any work I ever do in the future.

**★★★★★ — blueskykramguy, Feb. 2016**

> What an incredible experience! From the initial consultation Susanne & Andrew completely understood what we were looking for and presented several competitively priced interior design options all of which were amazing.
>
> The work was completed swiftly, on-time and within the agreed budget! What really makes the difference is their quality and attention to detail. Every aspect and detail of the remodelling what finished perfectly, they even added nice touches such as in-closet lighting.
>
> Walking through the finished project was like walking through the pages of an interior design magazine - incredible. We couldn't believe the transformation and wouldn't think of using anyone else on a future product.

**★★★★★ — Andi B, Feb. 2016**

> Andrew and Susanne were great, we are pleased with our renovation. They made the process easy and helped us chose some beautiful finishes. The final result is gorgeous! We are really enjoying our new space.

**★★★★★ — shoehut, Sept. 2015**

> They are very competitive with good taste in staging and color selections. Highly recommend their service for staging and remodelling.

**★★★★★ — tariqsh98, Sept. 2015**

> Andrew and Susane of Verve Studio team did the great job right from initial stage of planning, scoping, drawing & Sketching per limited basement available space, framing to finish. In all stages of construction Verve Studio team all well deserve A+ rating. They understand our requirements well, Andrew did visualize per my rough sketch and put the visual sketch in real life in immaculate condition. We are proud of our basement and appreciate quality work of the entire Verve Studio Team..Well Done Team Verve.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Bachelor needs help on Curtains! Please!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hello all! I need some help! I have a Sliding balcony door I need to put curtains on. I'm having a crazy hard time trying to figure out what goes with the pieces of furniture below. The couch is just a stock photo because it hasn't come yet. Quit honestly I'm not even sure if any of this goes but ah well I tried! My walls are white (apartment) and are not going to be painted. I just don't know if I should go with a solid color or design or what? Any help or pictures would be greatly appreciated!! thanks again and this site has helped me a lot!!!

A: We use dark colours for drama. Consider a dark grey or punch things up with an accent colour like red or teal. A mid- range blue would also work. Alternatively, white either solid or sheer is always a winner.
