My country kitchen became a magazine-worthy yet extremely functional room. Using Linda's industry contacts, the project completely revamped kitchen layout, cupboards, island, countertop, sink, electrical capability, plumbing, plaster demolition, appliances, dining set, painting and artwork and all the little details that go along with such a reno. All this miraculously took about 5 weeks - so amazing how all the work was streamlined between various companies and contractors. > The living room was not as "needy" but was certainly in need of an update and pieces to pull it all together. Again Linda's contacts were so useful for custom bookcases and furniture that looks like it would be sold together; however we used Canadian craftsmanship from many small firms to make it a practical, comfortable yet stunning room. **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > Thanks so much Cathy, for your kind words. This truly was an extreme transformation, from the original cupboards and layout, to gorgeous and functional, with the walls opened up, the small kitchen became huge. Great working with you through this, and we truly had a great team, to make my design thoughts happen **★★★★★ — Winter Pillows Drapery Workroom, May 2017** > I have worked with Linda (Interior Illusions Inc) customer's orders. The work on this project was a rewarding experience. Linda is very clear about details and great professional. Thank you Linda! **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > Thank you Natalia for your great comments, you have a great talent and enjoyed the experience working with you **★★★★★ — Ruth Scott, Feb. 2017** > Linda and I go a long way back. She coordinated my first move to a condo from a house, helped me put together my next move to another condo, and this time help me refresh my present condo. The major item was the bedroom. From the flooring up I now have a white bedroom. Very elegant I think! And the rest looks good too. **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > Ruth Thank you so much for your great review. It has been so great working with you for so many years going way back to the house and 2 condos later. The overall look we created in your bedroom, this time around turned out to be elegant, classy. It was great to paint out the side tables, to give a completely new look. The custom TV cabinet not only look great, but is functional. Hope you enjoy this for many years to come. Linda **★★★★★ — Crocetta Sikorski, Jan. 2017** > Linda was hugely successful in transforming our family room into a much more spacious and bright area that is both cozy and welcoming. We love entertaining in our new space as well as just simply chilling with a good book or movie in our contemporary and functional recliners. Linda was the utmost professional, always punctual to appointments, and responded to emails and texts in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to upgrade their home! **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > Thank you, so much Crocetta for such a great review of our accomplishments together to create a space perfect for the both of you, that you can enjoy on your own as well as others. An absolute pleasure working with both of you. Linda **★★★★★ — dianne\_thomas5, May 2016** > I hired Linda to renovate a bathroom for me, it turned out so lovely, like something in Florida magazine. Linda was wonderful to work with, gave me several choices to choose from, all the way from tiles to accent pieces. **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > Thanks Dianne, for that great complement, it turned out really fabulous and much better use of space, moving things around. It was a great please working on this project with you. Linda **★★★★★ — Emily Ulcar, May 2016** > Linda was of great assistance to me as I needed to renovate both floors of a two- storey home. I have mobility problems, so I had to rely heavily on Linda to bring me samples, advise on materials and design and help choose the flow of paint colors throughout the home. Furthermore, I relied on her to meet with the kitchen contractor and the general contractor to ensure that all details were being considered. Throughout the project, I found Linda to be available as needed, her ideas to be creative and cost effective and she was perceptive and resourceful to the project's needs, as she provided me with multiple suggestions and solutions. Due to the excellent preparatory work and communication, the project ran very smoothly and the end result has received numerous compliments. I have no hesitation in recommending Linda or using her again. **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > I would really like to thank you Emily, for your kind words, it is always a pleasure working with you and John on the many projects we have done together. This last one was an incredible transformation of the full house. I look forward to future projects. Until then, all the best, Linda **★★★★★ — cblemmen, May 2016** > We had been living in the 80's with our basement furniture for a long time. We decided it was time to upgrade. We let Linda know that we wanted a classic "cool" vibe to the living area of the basement. She came up with furniture, art, carpeting, tv. We are very pleased with the outcome. Linda is professional, friendly and a joy to work with. **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > What a fun project, transformation from back in time to a bright, contemporary, fun, overall outcome. Great bright fun colours, yet cozy and welcoming. I so enjoyed working with your family on this, lots of great input and receptive to my design ideas. Looking forward to future projects. Linda **★★★★★ — agleeson, Dec. 2015** > I have worked with Linda on numerous projects through the years both large and small . One can always count on her to provide a fresh and current design. Her design concepts are cost effective and stand the test of time. She has access to highly skilled trades that are reliable and take pride in their work . I would not hesitate to recommend her for your next renovation ! > Anita Gleeson **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > I have been very lucky to have been involved with so many projects with Anita over many years, doing many exciting transformations and keeping her home current and exciting **★★★★★ — cynthiaperrone, Feb. 2015** > I had the main bathroom renovated to a modern version of finishes and design detailing. The room was gutted. The bathtub was removed and a glass shower stall with a seated enched was installed in its place. This was acritical detail for me going forward with my future retirement and looks great. Every detail was selected by Linda which I approved and she checked in on the project to ensure it was completed properly. The selected trades were easy to work with and I felt comfortable leaving them in my home. I highly recommend using Interior Illusions! **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > Thank You for your kind words, it was great to see this small, tight bathroom transform into a larger airier space. **★★★★★ — pausta, Feb. 2015** > I have had the great pleasure of working with Linda through several major projects-two bathrooms, a kitchen and front foyer, and laundry room renovations. Linda is a consummate professional; honoring the taste and ideas of the customer, but always adding to the vision! She is hands-on, and works closely with her team to meet both budget and timelines. **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > WE have made a rally nice transformation of your home. I appreciate your recognition of me understanding you and your needs, while adding more, to get that WOW look. **★★★★★ — andrearygus, Feb. 2015** > I have worked with Linda Pennycook of Interior Illusions for many years and all of our homes (4). Linda has never steered us wrong. She understands our style and budget and, always presents fresh, creative and interesting options. She has gotten us to introduce fun elements into our decor. .Her sense of colour in choosing wallpaint and fabrics is outstanding. She is easy to work with and has a real talent for knowing what will work and what won't work. > Her product and service sources are first rate. It is obvious that suppliers also have a great deal of respect for her. > I have introduced Linda to family and friends for whom she has also done great work. > Our most recent project was a kitchen renovation. The room was completely gutted and the ceiling raised. The work of Linda, her kitchen designer (Paragon Kitchens) and contractor (Renditions) resulted in a dream kitchen that we are delighted with. Linda was instrumental in helping to coordinate all the elements. **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > I guess the greatest compliment is repeat business and still doing wonderful projects, 4 homes later!! It has been great to listen to your needs, but allowing me to "take you out of the box", to get the amazing results we have created. **★★★★★ — aamco, Feb. 2015** > We met Linda of Interior Illusions for the first time in the spring of 2013. Our sons wanted to make us a gift in the form of a few consulting hours by a local interior designer, in order to go in the right direction with our renovation plans. After an informative telephone chat and a personal introduction together with her profound skilful renovation team, we collected satisfying impressions, and the plans became projects over the next 18 months. We tackled: family room, living quarters, en suite and most recently, the most challenging of all, the kitchen. Throughout, Linda was most helpful in all directions, always being on time, she has the kind, patient personality to listen to our different opinions, and she tried to match our taste to make furnishing items, colour and art work blend into each other. She also has a wonderful perspective and artistic eye to group nostalgic, sentimental pieces with modern ones. > She has a lot of precise professionals on hand, from the hardworking , efficient renovation team to the immaculate seamstress who gave the final elegant touches with window furnishings. > We always compared Linda with a wedding organizer since her merits of understanding, communication and coordination are indispensable. We are very happy that she has guided us through the sometimes trying times of renovation, and the outcome was delightful. We get a lot of feedback from family and friends. Beside the "wow effects" we heard the line: > A HOUSE WITH WARMTH AND CHARACTER AND OF AN UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE !!! > We definitely recommend Interior Illusions to help with your renovation plans. **Comment from Interior Illusions Inc:** > What an absolute pleasure, to have had the opportunity to be involved in these projects with such great people. WE had a lot to accomplish, over time, and worked together to understand what you are all about, in order to put together beautiful spaces for you, while functional for your needs. I appreciate your acknowledgment, of the very specially selected professionals, I have representing me.

Need advice!** *(in Design Dilemma)* I just purchased a new house and before I move in, I'd like paint the walls and kitchen cabinets, etc. The problem is that the cabinets and floor are too close in color in my opinion. I'm wanting to go with a Neutral color theme and I'm planning to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint on the cabinets. I've included a picture of the kitchen and one with the paint colors for the Annie Sloan collection. My question is... Which color chalk paint and what color wall paint should I use in here? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks! A: I would go with the Old White, it will be timeless and any colour will work with that **Q: Love this kitchen. Where are the pendant lights from** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the clean lines of this kitchen. It is stunning! A: Lando Lighting in Brampton --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
