She unpacked dozens of boxes, taking what had been an overwhelming task for me and turning it into a refreshing exercise. I felt purged. My treasured memories were respected. I now have a space that I look forward to working in and welcoming guests. I find it is easily kept neat and tidy after Kelly's expert organizing. **★★★★★ — Michelle Reynolds, Oct. 2016** > I decided to contact Kelly while I was redoing my living room. After 3 coats of different paint on my walls and a exasperated husband, I knew I needed help in decision making! My wall color was not going to change and I did LOVE it, (BM Mascarpone) but I was purchasing new couch, chair and sideboard and rug and wanted all the colors to flow and create a cozy, welcoming space, I contacted her, she got back to me right away. I sent her photos before with a quick list of my main stumbling blocks so that she was prepared for our skype session in a few days. It was such a relief when she told me what color couch to buy (I would have been waaaay off if left on my own), what to put above my fireplace, what color sideboard (again I was going to go with the wrong color :), and what accents I could use. Armed with this info, I went shopping and knew exactly what I was looking for. The decision making was done and I trusted her! Best of all, she sent me links to websites where I could purchase some of these items or at least see visually what she was seeing in her mind so there was no guessing as to what color "grey" she meant for my couch. My room isn't completed yet as I'm waiting for some furniture to be delivered but I know it's going in the direction that I had envisioned. Thank you Kelly for helping me!! You will be hearing from me again I am sure. **★★★★★ — Angie McGibbon, Oct. 2016** > Kelly has been a great help to me as I try to update an old victorian home. I have years of history with the home and want totally fresh new looks without changing anything! Hahah -some how Kelly helped me find the balance and make a beautiful comfortable space that feels just right. Kelly helped me move things along at a pace that worked for me and acted as a sounding board while I talked through ideas. I am looking forward to many more projects with Kelly. **★★★★★ — Tammie Belliveau, April 2016** > Refreshed Designs works with you to ensure that your project turns out perfect for your life in every way. I love that Kelly always tries to reuse and repurpose the items you already have. We loved everything about our experience and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Refreshed Designs to anyone. **★★★★★ — paula3820, April 2016** > Kelly was so fabulous to work with. She was quick to grasp my style and the goal I had in mind. She found the best prices for the decor pieces she recommended and was always available for quick questions throughout the transformation of my basement. Creating a Pinterest page for us to share was so helpful at visually putting things together. She utilized furniture pieces in my home I had no idea where or what to do with. Best of all, we have a family room filled with new and old decor that we all want to spend time in. I highly recommend Kelly. **★★★★★ — J B, Feb. 2016** > I discovered Kelly through a good friend of mine who she had done work for when she was living in our area. I contacted Kelly and she was fabulous. We were able to connect and tackle my design problem for my front foyer and staircase window that I have been struggling with for many years. I was able to consult and communicate with Kelly via technology . She is very thoughtful and respectful of your budget > and design limitations as well as adding subtle changes which cost nothing to redesign. A space. I am very pleased with the process and will post the before and after via Kelly once I get some time to search out items to finish the project > Excellent experience ! **★★★★★ — dudekldudekl, June 2014** > I had such a wonderful experience with Kelly. She has an amazing eye and is extremely talented at her craft. She also managed to accommodate my budget concerns and found so many fabulous pieces for my spare bedroom which guests love staying in now. Please see before and after pictures. Kelly helps you hone in on your style, provides a floor plan, great furniture options and color recommendations at every price point and all at a reasonable rate. She listened to my style preferences and nailed it with each of her recommendations and I was so happy with her services I hired her to redo my master bedroom. I will certainly be using her for our decorating projects in the future and highly recommend you do too. Thank you Kelly! **★★★★★ — mitchmacmaster, June 2014** > Kelly Anderson, of RefreshedDesigns was fantastic to work with. She came to our 1940s bungalow to meet with my partner and I about refreshing the spaces on our main floor - including the bathroom, kitchen, hallway and living room. Kelly had amazing ideas in terms of paint colours that would refresh and open the small spaces we had to work with, as well as what pieces (furniture, tables, cushions, decor) we could add to make the spaces more comfortable. What was amazing was her ease with working with our small budget and incorporating pieces we already had and re-purposing them like new. After an initial consult, a shopping trip, some paint and another consult we found ourselves in the home of our dreams and could not have been happier with the result, thanks to Kelly at RefreshedDesigns. We love our living spaces now! **★★★★★ — jhughesmackey, June 2014** > Kelly, from 'refresheddesigns' was just what we needed. She managed to see the potential of our little space and odd sort of items we treasured, to make them work again after many years of just being "put there". She was 'spot-on' with colour to link everything and 'refreshed' our home beautifully. Her services included coming to our home, meeting me at a local furniture store to work out some details and making suggestions from online or photos. She was prompt, professional and on-time. Her fees are absolutely reasonable and I will be hiring her again when we move to the next stage of the renewal of our small home. > Janet ## Selected projects - [Beach-glam Guest Bedroom Refresh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-glam-guest-bedroom-refresh-pj-vj~170559) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 6 - Description: This boring beige spare bedroom in the home of a young professional in the suburbs of Calgary was underused because she didn't know what to do with it.

If you ever need help to get some artwork ready to hang in a beautiful way we LOVE doing wall décor... and were in Moncton, NB and we do all the work ourselves right in our shop in Moncton, NB! Check it out: http://www.creativelaminating.ca/wall-decor/ A: The botanical prints are actually from IKEA! Good to know you do artwork displays in Moncton - will keep that in mind. Thanks. **Q: Where did you get this beautiful handle?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is the real antique deal knob and hardware that was with the home. My clients were really lucky to have come across this little bungalow with the original hardware intact. However, houseofantiquehardware.com has some that are similar! **Q: Wall color** *(in Photo Questions)* Would you be able to tell us the wall color? A: Hi there, so sorry for the late response. The wall colour is Oyster Bay by CIL. You can see more at http://www.refresheddesigns.com/2012/03/before-and-after-cute-bungalow-refresh.html **Q: Grey walls with a beige or ivory sofa?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I want to paint the walls of my new living room a light grey with white crown molding. My floors are like a rich oak color laminate wood. Can I incorporate a beige or ivory sofa or do I have to stick to a white one? Thank you sooo much!!! A: So glad you are going for it! Would love to see how it turns out. **Q: painting a bedroom Gray** *(in Design Dilemma)* Good morning, I just want some advice and opinions on picking out a shade of grey for my bedroom I plan on paiting this weekend. I have 3 big windows in the room and a set of french doors. I have painted a few blocks of different shades on 2 of the walls but still cant make a decision. PLEASE HELP Thank you A: I've highlighted some of the best grays here: http://refresheddesigns.blogspot.ca/2012/05/find-it-friday-perfect-gray-paint.html. I love a very soft misty gray for a bedroom, like Benjamin Moore "going to the chapel." Hope this helps! Kelly --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-24.*
