I know the importance of value, attention to detail and practicality. Each project I undertake is as unique as the individual I design for. After all, your taste and personality are the foundation to your home’s style. The rules of design are only there to translate that style into the best form, fit and function of your space.

Designing by trend can be visually appealing, but designing by personality creates a space that comforts all senses.

**★★★★★ — HU-919835, Sept. 2016**

> We moved from a traditional house to a brand new 2bedroom + den suite and wanted a completely new look that was more modern, simpler and pared down without being cold and sterile. We chose Sophia after interviewing two other decorators. We are extremely pleased with our choice. Besides being very professional and creative, one of her best qualities is her ability to listen. We know what we like but doubted our skill to pull it all together. Sophia helped us to make 'our' vision a reality through thoughtful guidance and suggestion. In some instances, for example lighting, we relied totally on her. She isn't afraid to mix high and low, incorporate items important to us but perhaps not 'on trend' and to meld the whole into a fabulous living space. We are thrilled with the results. As a side benefit, we learned a lot about design and decorating and gained confidence in our own ability along the way. Plus, for a project that could have been very stressful, it was great fun.

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Thank you for the fabulous review!  You're right it WAS fun, and so it should be.  I look forward to our next one :)

**★★★★★ — https://www.facebook.com/DavidAvocadoWol, March 2016**

> We required some demolition and structural changes for this project. Sophia hired the appropriate professions, oversaw every aspect of the changes and the result is a perfectly
> designed and finished home. As seniors we appreciated that we have a safe, functional
> Environment, and did not scrimp on style. There is nothing I would change here, and everything was finished on time.

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Thank you so much for your kind review :)  It was a pleasure to work on this project!

**★★★★★ — starasko, Nov. 2015**

> Sophia helped my wife and I create a vision for our new home. She was happy to work with our existing items and respected our wishes to source most items from a specific store that we support. She was great to deal with, often making changes to suit our finicky needs.
> Sophia has a great eye for design/decorating and we are so pleased with the results. It took some time to get her recommendations, and they came in at the top end of our budget, but it was all well worth the wait and price. We have not yet implemented all of her ideas, but definitely will over time.
> I would recommend LemonTree to anyone looking to create a high-end, finished look in their home.

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Thank you very much for your glowing review...and the pictures :)  You've done a beautiful job of implementing the E-Design!

**★★★★★ — RagingHog, Nov. 2015**

> Ahhh ... we need space for at least 10 stars in order to properly rate Sophia Reay and LemonTree & Co. We won the lottery when we found Sophia through the Houzz site.
>
> The project scope was to completely makeover a condo property that we had purchased for our parents (who are seniors) in a custom design and build project.  The goal was to re-imagine and custom build out a new home that could support independent living for seniors, but also ensure a beautiful, personalized living experience for them.
>
> Sophia brought:
>
> \- Impeccable taste and design aesthetic;
> \- A real attention to detail;
> \- Absolute focus on ensuring that function and form were matched to the living requirements of her clients;
> \- Very caring, and clearly takes the time and effort to understand things from the eyes of her clients, so that she designs from the perspective of how they wish to live in the space;
> \- Service oriented ... nothing was too big, or too small for Sophia to handle, all in the name of ensuring the "WOW" factor for her clients;
> \- Cost conscious; a real bargain hunter, but always came up with interesting, unique solutions;
> \- Completely trustworthy;
>
> My wife and I are based in a different city from the location of the condo, and we relied on Sophia and her crew to manage the entire project remotely.  They met all timelines and budgets and were self managed, coming back to us when input was required, but working independently for the most part to get the job done.  Said what they were going to do, and then did what they said.
>
> The outcome is an absolutely spectacular living experience, that has all all of the needs for independent living for seniors subtly designed in.  At first glance, it's just a stunning apartment.  After being in the space for a while, you start noticing all of the details that make independent living for seniors possible, from the width of hallways to accommodate someone with walking aids, to lowered countertops and light switches so that they are more accessible, well designed shower and bathrooms to support those with mobility challenges, widened steps and very discrete grab bars to ensure safety and security.  All of that, in a stunning new condo.
>
> We couldn't be happier, and would absolutely welcome the opportunity to work with Sophia and her team again.  Like I said ... ten stars !!!

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Thank you so much for your kind review.  It has been an absolute pleasure working on this project with you and your family.

**★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2015**

> Sophia exceeded my very high expectations - she is a pleasure to work with - her focus is listening to and meeting the needs of her clients. Our project was a complete rip and replace condo renovation. Sophia took the time to learn the personalities of the clients and what we needed and wanted the home to accomplish. Sophia's priority is creating an environment that reflects the client, not the designer. Her taste level, communication, attention to detail and ability to always keep an eye on the budget is unsurpassed. This project was the easiest renovation I have undertaken and the results were both stunning and functional.  Highly recommend Sophia!

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Mwah!  Thank you Katrina, for a great review.  You have been a wonderful client to us, and I've had a blast working on the condo.  Cheers to the next project together!

**★★★★★ — sandralynneburton, June 2015**

> I had the pleasure of working with Sophia for over a year as we built a custom home from scratch. Sophia helped us create our dream home - a beautiful & functional space that met all of our needs. Sophia is respectful, professional & extremely talented. I highly recommend Sophia. She made the building process so much more enjoyable & organized. I will definitely continue to work with Sophia to enhance the beauty & practicality of our home.

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Oh Sandra, thank you so much for your kind review :)  It was an absolute pleasure to help you build your dream home.  What's that saying?..."enjoy what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life" Something like that anyway.  We had fun didn't we?

**★★★★★ — jlspall, Aug. 2014**

> Based on referrals from friends, we engaged LemonTree & Co for their E-Design service for design projects over the last two years. It is without any hesitation that we too would highly recommend this service and working with LemonTree.
>
> Why?
> • In one meeting Sophia accurately captured our style and desired design elements into a workable design.
> • The visual design enabled us to visualize the future state of our rooms complimented by the materials and samples provided (e.g., paint colour swatches, fixture suggestions, material samples, etc.).
> • The visual designs and renderings enabled construction considerations to be proactively addressed.  This assisted in firming up project scope and obtaining initial contractor quotes.  Once work was underway, the plans and renderings also enabled accurate communication between our contractor and their subcontractors ensuring they were on track and working in harmony with the overall design vision. We received many compliments from our contractors on how these designs made their work easier. Ultimately we feel the E-Design service was ‘win win’, saving money in the long run by reducing errors, delays, and oversights.
> •Sophia and her team are approachable and very easy to work with and present in an organized, concise way.  They were committed to seeing our “design vision” translated into reality and within budget.
>
> Thank you LemonTree!

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Thank you very much for your review.  It's been my pleasure to work with you.  I look forward to seeing the next leg of renovations completed!

**★★★★★ — cliffhammell, July 2014**

> After Sophia helped a friend of mine build a beautiful timberframe house in Deer Ridge, in 2009 I hired her to design a main floor renovation of our Doon Mills house. She immediately connected with my wife and I. We were comfortable with her process, happy with the results and her fee was reasonable.
>
> In 2013 we sold Doon Mills and began a new custom build on Puslinch lake. It was never a question that we would want Sophia services from day 1. This time she assisted us design the house from the ground up, inside and out. Scope of work was much bigger, and getting my wife and I on the same page was a challenge. Sophia has a talent to listen keenly and focus both parties. We are now in since May 2014 and are very thrilled with the result.

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Thank you Cliff and Sarah for your thoughtful review.  I completely enjoyed our design sessions and am proud of the work we did together on your beautiful Lake House.

**★★★★★ — lukeandmax, June 2014**

> We met Sophia 10 years ago when we were contemplating a new home build. We never did proceed with that project but immediately realized Sophia's value and potential to help us make our house feel like home. From large scale renovations involving design and layout to smaller jobs like arranging furniture and selecting paint, she is able to foresee how the design of a room affects the form and function of the space. Her collaborative approach and her ability to take a space from the "big picture" to the small details always results in a house that feels finished, comfortable and livable. Each and every time I come home I pause and think how beautiful our house is and how it finally feels like home.

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Thank you, Marny.  It means a great deal to have played a part in turning your house into a home.  It's been quite an adventure, hasn't it?  And to think it all started with a can of Farrow & Ball paint!

**★★★★★ — mkwn, June 2014**

> We have worked with Sophia and LemonTree & Co. Interiors for a number of years on several projects.  From the first time we met Sophia we knew she was not a cookie cutter designer - she wanted to get a sense of what we liked, what we didn't like and what our style was.  She's fantastic because she's open to collaborating with you if you want to have a larger part in the process, like we do, but also capable of handling a project from start to finish if you don't want anything to do with it!  Her attention to detail is brilliant and I was so grateful she was able to coordinate and find reliable and amazing contractors to do the work, advocate when things weren't right and keep them on time.  I wouldn't want to work with anyone else!

**Comment from LemonTree & Co. Interiors:**

> Thank you for those kind words, Karem and Mark.  It's clients like you that make my job so much fun...and not at all like work.
