Even our kids loved her! > > We couldn't be happier with our brand new kitchen and basement bedroom addition. So many have come into our home thinking: "what a massive difference!"

We can proudly say that we'll be staying in our home for the next few decades! **★★★★★ — Laura Hughes, May 2023** > The work to update my house has been completed for several months now and I like it better all the time. Kristy kept us updated on progress and the tradesmen she brought in were first class. Kristy brought her design ideas and delivered . New paint inside and out. Counter tops and sink look awesome. New facing on fireplace and flooring are very nice for the space and lighting. Thanks so much Kristy and tradesmen. **Comment from Homefront Design and Renovation:** > Thanks Laura, was a pleasure working with you again!

She has an amazing group of people she works with and can be trusted to get what you want done. Even her drywallers were a pleasure to listen to while they worked.

She was there every step of the way to pick out appliances, flooring, cabinets, countertops, lighting, accessories and the list goes on... Choosing these items was a lot harder than I thought and I could not have done it without her. > > I highly recommend Homefront Design and Renovation. Renovating can be very stressful but Kristy took so much of the stress off of our plate and the outcome is a dream come true. I would work with Kristy again in a heartbeat! > > Thank you Kristy and Homefront! **★★★★★ — Violet Leclair, Nov. 2020** > We had an amazing designer in Kristy. She did an excellent job on transforming my mother-in-law's townhouse into a vibrant and elegant home throughout. She was so informed and patient with my mother-in-law, explaining and showing her ways to open things up and to create more space in the kitchen as well as a peaceful retreat in the master bathroom for example. She took her to different suppliers to see what appliances , fittings, and finishes might work best for her, which made her more at ease tackling such a complex project. Then Kristy used her 3D computer aided design program, which showed us what her Townhouse would look like after all the Reno's were done. We could not have picked a more perfect person to do the job. If you need some Reno's done I would strongly recommend Homefront Design to do the job. You will certainly not regret it. > > Thankyou Kristy for taking this journey with us!!! **★★★★★ — Donna, Nov. 2020** > Kristy was in charge of a fairly extensive renovation to our condo in 2018. We were not living in Sidney at the time so most consultations were done via email and phone call. I had design help from a family member who is an Interior Designer, but Kristy's organization in putting together ideas for finishes and fixture for us to review when we could meet face-to-face were well thought out and very helpful in making the best use of limited in person time. The work done by Kristy's crew was thorough and professional and we were/are, very pleased with the results. The one or two deficiencies we noted after moving in were quickly and correctly remedied. Since then I have contacted Kristy several times for recommendations on contractors for smaller jobs and she has always been very responsive and sent us to good people. **★★★★★ — Kathy Hourigan, Sept. 2020** > Kristie was very professional in helping with design from the beginning of our build to the end finishing. She moderated any decisions that my husband and I couldn't agree on, to both of our satisfaction. She is extremely friendly and competent . She has many great ideas that are incorporated in our home. I wouldn't hesitate to use her expertise. **Comment from Homefront Design and Renovation:** > Pat and Kathys home is one of the most incredible houses I have ever worked on and the most incredible property! It was a pleasure working with them:) **★★★★★ — Holly Holt, May 2019** > Kristy’s sense of style and her professionalism made our bathroom renos a charm. She coordinated all of the trades effortlessly and in a timely manner. Her personal touch made the difference! We would highly recommend her. **★★★★ — Gail Darimont, May 2018** > With her sense of.style and great ideas, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kristy to anyone. She has great ideas, and works with other trades who are all as talented as she is. She is able to work to a budget and manages the myriad details associated with our kitchen Reno effortlessly.
