It was a fantastic experience. Sylvia and her team were amazing throughout the 7 week process. They were extremely supportive and accommodating as I lived in my basement with two teenage daughters, 2 cats and a dog while they worked on the house. The project was completed ahead of time and extremely close to budget. Great advice and recommendations on design as I had no idea what I was doing. The communication with Sylvia and Chris was above what I ever would have expected and I would recommend them to anyone looking to a small or large home renovation. We will definitely be booking them again. **★★★★★ — Michelle Kinzel, July 2025** > We recently completed a home renovation with Sylvia and the Niche Team. The reno included main floor tile removal and new hardwood / tile, full kitchen remodel, laundry room and 3 bathroom including ensuite. > > From the outset, Sylvia teased out what our vision for the design would be, was patient, but kept us on task throughout the selection process. The Niche team of sub contractors do exceptional work and are respectful of your home. > > We were away for much of the design and actual renovation, but communication on progress was timely and consistent. > > The timeline of the project was met and Sylvia did an excellent job keeping us within our budget. Our home renovation process with Sylvia and her team has exceeded our expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend her and the Niche team for your next home renovation. Thank you Sylvia! **★★★★★ — Amanda Thomas, May 2025** > We love our new bathrooms! Sylvia and the Niche team were amazing.

Huge shout out to Chris and Kent for their superb craftsmanship and commitment to excellence. > Sylvia and the Niche team are outstanding! **Comment from Niche reDesign:** > Short and to the point...I like that Mary Ann. Pleasure creating your ensuite with you! **★★★★★ — HU-159253582, Sept. 2024** > Just finished up a pretty large ensuite renovation, removing a jetted tub and corner shower to make way for a very large steam shower, new vanities, storage and make up counter. Sylvia, Chris, and Kent were amazing through the process, 1 unforeseen issue in the process and Chris was over within minutes outside of work hours to resolve. The team was very personal and friendly with the family throughout the build process, extra effort was made to keep the areas surrounding the construction tidy and rework/changes accommodated during the build which I feel is very important. > > I would highly recommend the Niche reDeisgn team, we would absolutely use them again for future renovation projects and are loving our new steam shower!! **Comment from Niche reDesign:** > Happy to hear you are pleased with the results. The Team truly enjoyed working with you on this ensuite remodel! **★★★★★ — Matt Tymchuk, Sept. 2024** > Great experience working with Sylvia at Niche. We renovated our kitchen, and updated our flooring.

Thanks. A: The Sektion wall cabinet in the middle is the Grimslov 40"H with 30"H doors. I used the white plastic hole plugs for the 2 cubbies. **Q: Counter** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful! Would you be able to tell me the brand and colour of the counter? A: TCE 2038 **Q: what brand of floor tile?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Not sure the brand, but was purchased in Calgary at Tile & Stone Source. Standard hex tile with black. **Q: Home Office Project** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello, Can you tell me what pieces you used for this project? I would like to replicate that here in my home office in NJ. Thank you! A: These pieces are all from IKEA, however many of them are discontinued or altered now. This project was done many years ago and we customized many of the furniture pieces. **Q: That is a beautiful table! Where is it from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I didn't paint the room, so I'm not sure. **Q: Dimensions** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please give me the dimensions of the entire setup since you are thousands of miles away from Ghana. I'll like to design this myself. Im in love with it. A: I'm glad you like this duo workspace. Many of these IKEA items are no longer available and the side desks are ripped in length. Providing you with the dimensions of this space really wouldn't give you what you need to recreate it. There are so many small details that are customized from Ikea's furniture. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-17.*
