You helped us organize our dreams and aspirations, translate them into drawings, and set a plan in motion. You then managed contractors, budget and timeline with exceptional skill. In the 12 months we worked together, you never lost your cool, you always had our backs and every time a challenge loomed, you had a creative solution. Thank you, thank you, thank you for leading the transformation of our home! **★★★★★ — Nadine Prince, Jan. 2019** > Working with a designer was a first-time experience for my husband and I and we approached the project with some trepidation. From our first consultation with Christine, all of our concerns were put to rest. Christine is a true delight to work with. She is professional, honest, and a great communicator. She listened to our ideas and incorporated them into her own vision, resulting in a magnificent space that feels 100% us. Christine transformed our worn kitchen into a beautiful space that truly reflects our personalities and the character of our century home. She designed a new bathroom and mudroom that are unique and functional. Christine was available, communicative, efficient and guided us painlessly through every step of the renovation. I was continuously impressed by her ability to master all aspects of the project – everything from working with the contractors to overseeing furniture deliveries and managing installations. Every tradesperson recommended by Christine, including the cabinet maker and tiler, produced an impeccable product. Christine went the extra mile to ensure every step was handled within timelines and budgets. She was attentive and responsive and provided us with guidance in a respectful and welcoming manner. I am in awe of her design abilities and her project management skills. We absolutely love our new space! **★★★★★ — Lisa Huie, Dec. 2018** > We worked with Gairdner Design to refresh our main floor in time for the holidays and wow! Our living room is now our fave room of the house! > From space planning to furniture selection, colour recommendations to finishing touches, all the support, direction and attention to detail that Christine provided was top-notch. She listened to our vague ideas and turned them into well-designed reality. Christine found terrific sources and tradespeople to deliver everything better than we could've imagined. > We didn't blow our budget and continue to enjoy a gorgeous, cozy space that's always ready to go for holiday festivities and quality family time. **★★★★★ — susan\_heslop, Dec. 2018** > We hired Christine to give us some ideas to update our tired house. We loved her vision so much we have done a complete Reno of our house. Christine understood our style and cane back with a plan that fit our style and budget. She managed our project completely and updatecus in any changes. It was done on time and on budget and we absolutely love the results. I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Libby Wildman, March 2017** > Christine delivered more than she promised. She was on time, and on budget, unless I made changes. Mistakes were dealt with really quickly, and the final results are awesome! She designed it all to suit our family, not House and Home. > As a mom and business owner, I was never home, but her trades were always very friendly to my teenage son who often was home. > Christine even shovelled my back deck one day to help the trades people get in while i was away. > If you want to be hands off or hands on, Christine is your Designer. > Thank you! Love my new Kitchen and living room. ## Selected projects - [High Park, Toronto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/high-park-toronto-pj-vj~5500948) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 16 - Description: This was a dated semi detached home in High Park, Toronto, begging for some fresh updates. we gutted the entire home BUT left original, foundational elements in the home so as not to strip it entirely of it's character. We left the original oak staircase, the brick fireplaces, the oak fireplace mantel and plaster ceiling medallions. The contemporary renovation worked around these older elements adding back in a bit of old to the new, which worked out very well. - [Cheritan Avenue - Kitchen Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cheritan-avenue-kitchen-makeover-pj-vj~2315557) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 10 - Description: My client was looking to update the kitchen - it had never been done - so it was dated and drab. We decided to keep the cabinets but repaint them. We added new hardware, new calacutta marble back splash, new counters, thomas obrien light fixture, and new furniture to upgrade this room to dashing! Now it's a room that everyone wants to be in. - [Gibson Ave.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gibson-ave-pj-vj~4188408) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 9 - Description: This renovation happened in a 1930's downtown Toronto semi detached home on a quiet lane. The mission was to totally gut and renovate the interior of the home to modernize the aesthetic and breathe new life into the existing elaborate and Italianate space. Previous owners had invested in faux finishing and faux marbling the home which we replaced with calm neutrals, beautiful white maple floors, and updated bathrooms. The end result was a beautiful contemporary home that the home owners adore. - [Willow Farm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/willow-farm-pj-vj~2315601) - Location: Aurora, ON - Photos: 5 - [Main Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/main-street-pj-vj~4187655) - Location: Schomberg, ON - Photos: 11 - Description: This home was built in 1913 in rural Schomberg, ON, and the original kitchen was a tiny little space in the home's original pantry. Next to the pantry was an eating room, disconnected from the pantry by a wall. The pantry had a dumb waiter in the corner that would lower and raise to move root vegetables from the stone cellar up to the main level for cooking. By removing the dumbwaiter, we gained room for a tiny powder room (no bathroom on the main floor previously), which added real estate value… - [Mill Dam](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mill-dam-pj-vj~4186638) - Location: Schomberg, ON - Photos: 13 - Description: This was a whole home renovation of a large bungalow comprised of a main floor and basement. We filled in part of the kitchen floor, as it looked over the basement family room, to create a much larger kitchen for the family. - [Eleventh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eleventh-pj-vj~4187151) - Location: Schomberg, ON - Photos: 6 - Description: This project was nestled deep in the woods, in a characteristic octagon shaped home. With breathtaking views of the surrounding forest and wildlife, the home was structurally sound, but a bit outdated. As they are avid cooks, we aimed our budget at the kitchen and transformed this space from a 1980s melamine and laminate space to a modern custom kitchen with quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances, better lighting and gorgeous grey tile floors. The end result was a beautiful, modern cook… - [Damascus](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/damascus-pj-vj~2315617) - Location: Newmarket, ON - Photos: 6 - Description: These clients had purchased a standard builder track home, a.k.a. a subdivision home/builder home, that was not pretty, but in the right area they desired. We endeavored to overhaul the +2000 sf home, starting with the main entry, the main foyer, the kitchen, dining and family rooms. - [Glengrove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glengrove-pj-vj~2315577) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 14 - Description: My clients had hired a builder for their total gut and renovation project, but needed the guiding hand of a decorator when it came to picking finishes, colours, furniture etc. The whole home was large, older and 4 floors, and not an inch of it was left untouched. We had an amazing time selecting all the finishes, and seeing it unfold. A wonderful project, wonderful clients. - [Cheritan Avenue - Fireplace Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cheritan-avenue-fireplace-makeover-pj-vj~2315540) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 6 - Description: The mission of this project was to revitalize a dated and dark living room in an Old Toronto home. We freshened up the walls with a warm white paint and installed LED pot lights for starters, but the biggest impact was refacing the brick fireplace, the room's central focal point. I decided to reface it with simple paneling and casing to give it clean, modern lines but with a nod to traditional mill work so that it would still speak to the rest of the room as well as the house in general. Install… [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/gairdner-design-pfvwus-pf~220155753) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/64685389/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/gairdnerdesign) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the countertop?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Ashley!
