**★★★★★ — HU-781102633, May 2021**

> “Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love."  We feel Marie and Lauren live by this philosophy at Decorator’s Corner.  Through two projects, including a living room and kitchen re-design and renovation, they kept the integrity of our old home in mind. They provided us with design concepts that met our family's needs and took into account our vision, as well as budget.  From the initial conversation and concept drawings to the final touches, Marie and Lauren made our new space functional, beautiful, and live-in ready.

**★★★★★ — Eagleview Construction, Feb. 2020**

> We recently had the pleasure of working with Lauren and could not have been more pleased with her professionalism, organization, attention to detail and her availability to quickly answer questions throughout the renovation project! We look forward to working with you again in the future!

**Comment from Decorator's Corner:**

> Thanks so much for the very kind review Eagleview! - Lauren

**★★★★★ — Karin McNabb, Dec. 2016**

> Stunning transformation!!
> Marie-Josee along with her team Mel/Lauren transformed our living/dining room, front entrance and master bedroom from blah to beautiful. Marie really listens to you, she gets to know you, finds out what is important to you and then aligns her vision to your wishes.  Her recommendations with respect to colour, design, placement,  artwork and ambiance were spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Marie and Mel and are very proud of our home. :) exceptional work!!!

**★★★★★ — Penny Evans, April 2016**

> Conway Furniture was brought in by the DC to collaborate on the KW Rotary Dream Home.  They did a beautiful job on the home with current, but very livable looks.  We all agreed we could move right in. Although DC set the budget on this project, most of the items used were not high end expensive pieces, very stylish and still good value.  Decorator's Corner also understands that a few key pieces, often wall art, can make the room pop even on a budget.

**★★★★★ — Victoria Butler, April 2016**

> I have had the pleasure to have Marie advise and implement great choices in more than one of my homes. Picture hanging, furniture placement and helpful advice on paint color choices are just a few of her very educated and artistic offerrings. Having a pleasant and infectious personality is an added bonus to having this professional decorater in your home. Always pleased and happy with the outcome and her vision is that of a true designer. Ten out of Ten.

**★★★★★ — Elise Kraft van Ermel, April 2016**

> Marie and her team delivered excellence once again for our family home. Creative design, modern and clever use of space. Without increasing the size of our undersized master ensuite, with the Decorator's Corner we achieved an amazing, European style modern upscale bathroom. Tub for two, combined with glass wall/rain shower; heated floor and great storage space. Love the simple elegance and the smart use of space.

**★★★★★ — Margaret Yuen, April 2016**

> Over the last ten years, I have had several projects in my condo with Decorator's Corner. With each project, the staff exemplified professionalism and creativity.
> Most recently, I had a kitchen renovation where Marie-Josee Boily took my vague ideas and transformed them into a stunning kitchen. She has created a functional and beautiful space to reflect my needs and style. Marie has high standards and she also expects the same from others working on the project.
> Decorator's Corner worked within my budget and has made decorating and renovations a pleasurable and less stressful experience.

**Comment from Decorator's Corner:**

> Thank you for the kind review Margaret! We always enjoy working with you and are happy to help with any other projects in the future!
> Marie, Lauren and Melanie

**★★★★★ — Aimee B, April 2016**

> I have had the pleasure of working with Marie on several projects.  Her experience and knowledge in design and the construction process make her a great designer to work with, as a trade.  Melanie and Lauren also bring a lot to the table with their own individual skills and talents.   I would recommend Decorators Corner to anyone looking for a talented and down-to-earth team to help with their projects!

**★★★★★ — Jon Staken, April 2016**

> I highly recommend Marie and her team at Decorators Corner to anyone looking for a design firm that listens very well, pays great attention to detail and always makes sure the client is understanding the ins and outs of the design process. I have very much enjoyed working with her on numerous  projects over the years and continue to recommend her team.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the wall color.** *(in Photo Questions)*

What color are the walls?

A: Hi John! This colour is called "Olive" by Devine (a paint company from California). We no longer carry this paint line but would be able to match it to a Para Paints colour if you are interested!
Thanks!

**Q: What is the paint color** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi Alicia, the paint color in this bathroom is Para Paints "Heart Throb" P5165-24.
We sell Para Paints in our store and would love to help you out with your painting needs!

**Q: Love seat info?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Looking for custom furniture

A: Hi Julie, this loveseat is from Marge Carson, a high end furniture company. We are a dealer for this company so we would be able to order it for you if you wish. The fabrics and all finishes are customizable. If you are interested in other types of furniture pieces please contact us!

**Q: Which bathroom layout would you choose?** *(in Polls)*

We have narrowed it down to 3 layouts for the 7'6" x 9 bathroom. There will be a pocket door entering into the bathroom. The bathroom will have a shower, toilet and pedestal sink. In a couple pics is a free standing linen cabinet in the pictures(makes more bedroom closet room), but in one other its built in. 
Looking forward to the comments.

A: Hi there, I would prefer Layout \#1 (for shower location ONLY) if you are going to be doing an alcove shower and building a wall between the shower and toilet. However, if you are able to do a glass shower surround, I would prefer layout \#3. 
For all layouts, is there a reason that you are not considering a vanity cabinet instead of a pedestal? This would be your best option if you want to maximize the space in a functional way. Otherwise, you have a tall cabinet in the middle of nowhere. If you do layout \#3, you will be taking up space in the next room, you will have to think about whether you care to lose that space. But, if a pedestal is what you want, it would be best to recess the cabinet into the other room. 
Hope this helps!

**Q: Do you think dark grey cabinets would look good with this counter?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Of course! We are using it right now for a client's island! As Cambria said, it will bring out the grey and charcoal ribbons in the pattern. It is going to be a great tie between the dark cabinets in the island and the white cabinets around the perimeter for our project. 
If you pair the dark cabinets with this countertop and a light tone backsplash (even a slab look that is pictured), it will look stunning!

**Q: Flooring** *(in Photo Questions)*

What kind of tile is it?

A: Hi Susie, you can refer to the comment above (we made the comment while logged in on the wrong account...oops!)
