All my Best, Felicia **★★★★★ — Michelle Chessman, Feb. 2020** > We worked with Felicia for our whole home renovation. We spent time at the house and in stores to find the perfect materials and colors for our house. She was always available to reply quickly to my questions and to reassure me. She is very passionate about her work. We would happily work with Felicia in the future and will certainly recommend her services to our friends. **Comment from The Expert Touch Interiors:** > Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule Michelle to write this wonderful review!

All my best, Felicia **★★★★★ — Valencia B, Jan. 2020** > Felicia is great! She was referred to me by a friend. From the moment I met her I knew I would enjoy working with her. She has an incredible eye for detail, she gave me some great ideas and open and honest feedback on my choices. After looking at the space she asked me questions I hadn’t even considered before. She helped me with tile, lighting (one of my biggest hurdles), hardwood, paint. Once she left I felt relieved knowing I was making the right decisions. She is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend Felicia. Felicia I look forward to working with you on round 2 once our renovation is complete and it’s time for furniture and adding those finishing touches. **Comment from The Expert Touch Interiors:** > Thank you Valencia for your wonderful review!

I would be happy to help you out with furniture and whatever else you need during the next phase. Please make sure to reach out! All my best for now, Felicia **★★★★★ — Lisa, Jan. 2020** > EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! Felicia is an amazing designer, but more importantly, an amazing person. She has a personal and professional integrity I have not seen in a very long time. She is a perfectionist, she wants things done right, and she cares about what her clients want. She listens. She is also an excellent problem solver. I was in a position were the previous designer did a horrible job, and the contractor(who was hired by the previous designer) had made a huge mess. Felicia dealt with the contractor diplomatically, dealt with the issues for me, and most importantly, made my home a place I love to be. I cannot wait to do the main floor with her soon! > > A definite must if you are looking for an eye for detail, meticulousness, and an awesome home that reflects your personality. **Comment from The Expert Touch Interiors:** > Thank you Lisa for your wonderful review! I’m so pleased that you are happy with how everything turned out and that you are enjoying your newly renovated home! I would be happy to assist you again with your main floor project.

She has the perfect combination of design skills and customer service skills. **Comment from The Expert Touch Interiors:** > Thank you Claudia. I really enjoyed working with you and I’m so happy that we could achieve the end result you were looking for! I’m here for you any time you require further assistance along the way. All my Best for now, Felicia **★★★★★ — Christina Ricciuti, Nov. 2019** > You have such incredible talent Felicia, we could not be happier with the work you have done on our home (kitchen, 3 washrooms, & a music room). Not only are you highly skilled and professional to work with, but your easygoing and warm demeanour has made you such a pleasure to have in our home--not to mention, you are great at decision making! I would highly recommend you without hesitation for anyone looking for a fabulous decorator. **Comment from The Expert Touch Interiors:** > Thank you Christina for such a wonderful review. It’s been my pleasure to continue working for you and your family as projects arise. Now that the whole house is done I guess it’s time to move so we can decorate your next place lol! Kidding aside thank you for being such an awesome client to work with. You make my job fun! All my best, Felicia **★★★★★ — Carole S., Sept. 2019** > Felicia was a pleasure to work with. She listened to my concerns and was able to bring creative ideas to solve my design dilemmas. She gave us ideas and provided excellent examples and sources for the furniture and decor that we needed. Felicia is such a warm person with abounding enthusiasm and a genuine love for what she does. Her customer service skills are outstanding. We would highly recommend Felicia. **Comment from The Expert Touch Interiors:** > Thanks kindly for your wonderful review Carole. It was my pleasure and such fun working with you! I'm here for you for any future decorating or design needs that you might have any time! Best, Felicia **★★★★★ — Andrea Marczenko, April 2019** > I really enjoyed working with Felicia when I needed her expertise to freshen up the look of my home to sell. The flooring she picked was absolutely beautiful and complimentary to the existing kitchen cabinets. Her suggestions helped create an inviting space despite the limited budget. I also appreciated that she is decisive and personable, truly a pleasure to work with! **★★★★★ — Darlene Maillet, March 2019** > It was such a pleasure to meet Felicia, and work with her to help me with an overwhelming colour consultation and finding just the right tones to tie everything in my home together and simply update it, using what I had with a little of her magic! Looking forward to continuing projects in the future, as I love her sense of style, taking a room from drab to magnificent. **Comment from The Expert Touch Interiors:** > Thank you Darlene! It was my pleasure working with you the other day. I think you are well on your way now to a much more updated, brighter space and I am looking forward to our future projects together as well. You were a delight to work with! I'm here for you any time :-) All my best, Felicia **★★★★★ — Judy Lambton, Jan. 2019** > It was an absolute pleasure to work with Felicia; we would highly recommend her. > She was able to update our kitchen and living room without major renovation. She was extremely knowledgeable and was very sensitive to our opinions in updating a strong colour palette to a fresh airy feel, which we absolutely love. We look forward to working with her on future updates **Comment from The Expert Touch Interiors:** > It was my absolute pleasure working with you Judy and I’m so pleased you’re happy with the outcome. Enjoy your new furniture and your updated living room and kitchen. I’m always available for any future projects you might have.

I look forward to our continued projects together! ## Selected projects - [Belvenia Whole Home Renovation and Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belvenia-whole-home-renovation-and-addition-pj-vj~4374588) - Location: Burlington, ON - Photos: 172 - Description: This is my own home which was purchased in fall of 2017. It was a dark, dated space that had extra rooms on the main floor that didn't work for my family and the upper level was too small for us so we hired an architect and completely redesigned every room to make it livable and appropriate for my family. We also put an addition over the garage to allow for a larger master bedroom, changed the bathroom to a spacious walk in closet with an island and the original master bedroom is now our ensuite… - [Belvenia Exterior Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belvenia-exterior-renovation-pj-vj~6317224) - Location: Burlington, ON - Photos: 55 - Description: After living in our home for 2 years, we decided we needed to change our extensive gardens in the back to make them easier to manage. We also wanted to design an outdoor kitchen that would give us a larger barbecue and a smoker, as well as lots of storage for both and a bar fridge. So all garden materials were relocated and a cedar deck was added in its place. (The current grey upper deck was built when we rebuilt the home 2 years earlier). We also felt that the current pavers were getting dated… - [Birchcliff Upper Floor Renovation and Decor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/birchcliff-upper-floor-renovation-and-decor-pj-vj~5964799) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 28 - Description: This beautiful Glen Abbey home recently underwent a major renovation of the upper level. When I was called in the renovation was well under way however nothing was complete and everything was in complete disarray. My client was very disappointed at how the reno was turning out and felt everything was very grey and cold. There was very little decor and some of the issues with the interior design were very noticeable including some of the drab grey paint colours. In less than 3 months, we fixed th… - [River Side Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-side-drive-pj-vj~6556667) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 14 - Description: My clients underwent an extensive renovation of their outdated bungalow. The entire home was gutted and opened up to allow for more open concept living. I was called in to help choose all finishes including flooring, lighting, paint colours, tiles, countertops, backsplash and go over all design elements in the home to ensure the end result would be a cohesive flow. Once the reno was complete, we designed and chose all new furniture, area rugs and accessories. The result is a bright and cheerful… - [Woodview Music Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodview-music-room-pj-vj~5963080) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 15 - [Bracken Full House Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bracken-full-house-reno-pj-vj~6051754) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 29 - Description: This busy family of 4 wanted a major overhaul to their existing home. As you'll see from the before pics, their home was dated and in need of some major upgrades and interior design. The family moved out, the home was gutted, walls moved and after 3 months of a complete and total overhaul by David Gimza of Glen Abbey Contractors and kitchen and bathroom cabinetry design and build by Jit at Misani Custom Kitchens, with interior design finishes chosen by me, we were able to give this family a beau… - [Ingledene Main Floor Decor/Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ingledene-main-floor-decor-design-pj-vj~5541959) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 18 - Description: My clients recently purchased their beautiful newly built home and although it had some wonderful finishes, it lacked any furniture or decor. Our goal was to design a comfortable room for their family of four to enjoy but it had to be dog friendly as well for their Airedale Terrier to hang out in. We wanted to keep the decor light and airy at the same time without compromising on fabric durability. We were able to do this by designing custom sofas that we were able to stain guard and chose durab… - [Campbellville Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/campbellville-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~3060626) - Location: Milton, ON - Photos: 16 - Description: When my client hired me to design and decorate her farmhouse living and dining room, I was inspired by the beautiful arched window and curved walls in the living room. My client also mentioned she didn't want the typical "greige" colour scheme that is seen so much these days. Our inspiration was this gorgeous floral Surya area rug. From there, we found the beautiful floral fabric by Fabricut that we used to upholster the backs of the 2 club chairs and toss cushions for the tufted sofa. I also fo… - [Glengrove Full Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glengrove-full-home-renovation-pj-vj~6553601) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 12 - Description: This project was completed in conjunction with Glen Abbey Contractors Ltd. and Misani Kitchen Design. Our clients wanted a much more open concept home with new light and bright finishes. Walls were removed between the kitchen sitting area and great room, all new white oak engineered hardwood was laid on both floors, a brand new craftsman staircase with wrought iron spindles replaced the old, outdated yellow oak stairs and spindles, ceilings were scraped and pots added, new interior doors and tri… - [Lakeshore Road Burlington](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeshore-road-burlington-pj-vj~2781712) - Location: Burlington, ON - Photos: 12 - Description: Our clients recently moved into this incredible custom home on Lake Ontario however the kitchen was dated having been built 20 years ago. The layout also didn't meet our clients' needs so in conjunction with Parand Design and Glen Abbey Contractors, we completely transformed this kitchen from dark and dated to fresh and fabulous! Our clients are over the moon at their kitchen's incredible new layout which makes more sense now for their busy family of four not to mention the spacious feel and ama… - [Brookfield Avenue Furniture and Decor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brookfield-avenue-furniture-and-decor-pj-vj~2687266) - Location: Burlington, ON - Photos: 13 - Description: When our clients called us in to assist them with their beautiful new home, they weren't sure where to start with their family room, dining room or office. So after careful discussions, measurements and furniture layouts, we started with the family room and purchased custom sofas in a neutral linen fabric. To add in some colour, red accent pillows were purchased to pick up the colours in their artwork. We also purchased some recliner/swivel chairs that could be turned toward the t.v. when desire… - [Weybourne Road Family Room and Dining Room Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/weybourne-road-family-room-and-dining-room-reno-pj-vj~2068785) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 4 - Description: When my clients originally contacted me to assist them with their living room and dining room, I had a blank canvas to work with. Since they were going to be using this room as more of a sitting room vs a tv. viewing room, I decided to first provide them with a focal point by suggesting they purchase an electric floating (or linear) fireplace. We then surrounded it with grey stone and built in bookcases. The colour was changed from boring beige to Ben Moore's Revere Pewter and we furnished the r… - [Craigleith Reno and Decor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craigleith-reno-and-decor-pj-vj~2293351) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 10 - Description: Our clients hired us to change the look of their new home prior to moving in. The cabinets were dark and didn't work with the white quartz counter tops and grey and white marble back splash so we had them professionally spray painted in Benjamin Moore's "Chantilly Lace" and changed out the hardware to more contemporary pulls. The hardwood floors were a light blonde but were too yellow and my client wanted to go much darker so we had them professionally stained in a dark "pepper" stain which prov… - [Nottingham Whole Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nottingham-whole-home-renovation-pj-vj~2311871) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 25 - Description: This home recently underwent an addition which resulted in a complete revamp of the back of the home and entire second floor. The result was a much larger kitchen which is the "piece de resistance" of this newly renovated home. The waterfall Caesarstone Statuario Maximus countertops are the first thing you notice when you enter the kitchen. The backsplash in a glazed porcelain tile also adds some beauty and contrast to the white cabinetry and picks up the gray veining in the counter tops. The gl… - [Westmount Whole Home Decor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westmount-whole-home-decor-pj-vj~3221818) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 16 - Description: My young client called me in to assist her with decorating her new home which was a typical builder's home. It had been slightly updated with finishes and flooring but she wanted to add her personal touch and make it a warm and inviting home for entertaining her family and friends. With the purchase of many new pieces of furniture, artwork and accessories and sticking to a navy, white and grey colour palette throughout her home, it now lends itself to both a sophisticated and classic look. We ar… - [Pleasant View Kitchen Facelift](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pleasant-view-kitchen-facelift-pj-vj~1084155) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 16 - Description: This kitchen was already completely redone in 2006 so the layout was fine, but it needed a bit of a facelift. The cupboards were dated with an antique glaze and ornate moldings, the countertops were a very busy granite and the light fixtures over both the island and the kitchen table were also too ornate for our client's current taste. So after the moldings were completely removed, we sprayed the cabinets in Benjamin Moore's "Chantilly Lace", the island countertop was replaced with Caesarstone "… - [Glen Abbey Home, Oakville](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glen-abbey-home-oakville-pj-vj~83756) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 104 - Description: This home was a very traditional space when it was purchased back in 2010, despite the complete renovation that had taken place in 2006. Over the course of 6 years, each room has been transformed into a more contemporary space with new furniture, flooring, lighting, paint, accessories, finishes, etc. - [Pleasant View Living Room/Dining Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pleasant-view-living-room-dining-room-pj-vj~1941032) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 18 - Description: This living room/dining room was looking a little outdated with beige/blue furniture so first and foremost we chose new chairs and a sofa in a neutral linen fabric. Once that was chosen we decided we wanted to keep a monochromatic look so we changed the wall colour to Benjamin Moore's "Collingwood" - OC-28, added a new Botero area rug in a grey/cream colour scheme, purchased new toss cushions in a white/silver colour to help pull in the new silver/chrome lamps and accessories and the new glass/c… - [Pleasant View Family Room Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pleasant-view-family-room-renovation-pj-vj~1130591) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 12 - Description: The adjoining kitchen to this recently redone family room was also given a facelift so because the 2 rooms are open to each other, the original family room which had more vibrant furniture and furnishings was given a more calming feel. We replaced the chair, toss cushions, lamps and artwork and created a more cohesive space between the 2 rooms. Most recently the wall panel mouldings were designed and constructed to add some texture and interest to the walls. See "Pleasant View Kitchen Facelift"… - [Cairncroft Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cairncroft-reno-pj-vj~2195649) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 24 - Description: This busy family of 5 called me in last year to assist them with the renovation of their 80's home situated in beautiful southeast Oakville. The home had been previously renovated approximately 10 years earlier but it was looking tired and outdated. Although they had already purchased some sofas, they hired me to help them complete their family room and assist with their kitchen and mudroom/laundry room renovation. When decorating their family room, we found inspiration in an original piece of a… [See all 60 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/the-expert-touch-interiors-pfvwus-pf~503478952) ## Ideabooks - [Agha Feature Wall](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/143182069/list/agha-feature-wall) — 17 ideas - [Andrea Condo](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/143006541/list/andrea-condo) — 9 ideas - [Karen Powder room wallpaper](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/139762046/list/karen-powder-room-wallpaper) — 14 ideas - [Backsplash](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/139660110/list/backsplash) — 26 ideas - [Gate](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/138268384/list/gate) — 9 ideas - [Valencia counter stools](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/135997434/list/valencia-counter-stools) — 8 ideas - [Radmila Family Room Built In](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/135480726/list/radmila-family-room-built-in) — 3 ideas - [Barbeque built in](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/134159360/list/barbeque-built-in) — 15 ideas - [Left corner yard](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/134160196/list/left-corner-yard) — 5 ideas - [Raised cedar deck](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/134614770/list/raised-cedar-deck) — 1 idea - [Wood gate](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/134161108/list/wood-gate) — 7 ideas - [Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/103794618/list/exteriors) — 27 ideas - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52519765/list/bathrooms) — 68 ideas - [laundry rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/83302719/list/laundry-rooms) — 4 ideas - [Decks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/89975024/list/decks) — 16 ideas - [Landscaping](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/109537698/list/landscaping) — 18 ideas - [Fireplace surround](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/106586652/list/fireplace-surround) — 6 ideas - [Bedroom Ceiling](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/106258823/list/bedroom-ceiling) — 3 ideas - [Dining Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/106126596/list/dining-rooms) — 8 ideas - [Ceiling Beams](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/105612058/list/ceiling-beams) — 4 ideas [See all 41 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/danieladvb) ## Community Q&A **Q: Colour and texture of pavers please?** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me colour and type of Permacon pavers used in the back please? A: Yes they are Mondrian Newport Grey **Q: 2 Questions about the washer** *(in Photo Questions)* 1\) I see the counters appear to be some sort of granite or stone. How do you pull out the washer and dryer if there is an issue. I want the same look but these front loader washer are VERY heavy to move and yours seem snugly fit. 2) is your water outlet box behind the washer. and at what height? I just lowered mine to the top area just behind the front loader to hide it and when I turn my new front loader on the hoses seem to gurgle with air. My previous front loader was on a pedestal but was a higher outlet box and never had gurgling. Not sure if its the outlet box , now 32" above the floor might be too low causing the gurgling. Thank you! A: Sorry I cannot answer this. I was involved only in the decorating and finishes. **Q: paint and cabinet color** *(in Photo Questions)* lovely laundry room! it seems the wall paint and cabinet paint are the same color. Can you tell me both colors and brand. Thank you!! A: Hi and thank you. The wall colour is silver satin by Benjamin Moore. The cabinet colour was a stock colour and the cabinets were custom. **Q: To have a sink as high as 40" for level laundry countertop or not?** *(in Photo Questions)* We want full size washer and dryer (most are +/-39" tall), but also prefer a level countertop with the adjacent laundry/mudroom sink. We are average height (5'5" and 5'10") parents with taller teen boys. Our cabinet maker advises against such a high sink base. A: You need to go with what’s right for your height. My client is ok with this height but if you are 5’5” and would prefer a lower height there’s nothing wrong with lowering the sink area and keeping the folding area higher. It’s a matter of personal preference. **Q: bar chairs are awesome** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi, I love your bar chairs! Can you tell me who makes them? Thanks! A: Hi thank you. If my memory serves me correctly they are from Dinec or Bermex. Hope that helps! **Q: island size and clearance** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please tell me size of this island? And also the distance /clearance between the island and the window wall and also the fridge wall? A: Hi Lisa. I do not have this information as I was only involved in the finishes not the design. Sorry I cannot help you with the measurements. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-21.*
