### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Ashleigh Berger, April 2018**

> Lorraine is an incredibly talented and professional designer. We did a complete gut job of the inside of our house and she was able to take the all elements that were important to us to create the most stunning and light-filled house. We let her run with her ideas while incorporating our personal taste and personalities and the final result was tasteful and timeless. Definitely a home we could live in forever! Could not recommend Lorraine enough!

**★★★★★ — tenielley, April 2018**

> Lorraine did a complete renovation of our main floor (including kitchen), master bedroom with ensuite, a nursery, and built an additional sunroom off the back of our main floor. The scope of her work including design, project management, finishings, and furnishing. Throughout the whole process Lorraine and her team were professional and always went the extra mile for us. We love our house and would whole-heartedly recommend Lorraine.

**★★★★★ — Adam, April 2018**

> Lorraine designed and built a modern duplex that we absolutely love. The scope of the project included home design, landscaping, finishing, and furnishing. Throughout the project she was a pleasure to work with and her devotion and commitment to our project were never in doubt. The house is open, warm, and takes advantage of small property that are common in the city. The open concept kitchen and living space make it really easy to host comfortably and the extension to the outside will be great for summers in Toronto.

**★★★★★ — Aaron Gonsenhauser, April 2018**

> Lorraine Franklin is one of the most talented designers I've ever used and referred. Lorraine's deep understanding of Design and Construction is met with her unwavering commitment to her clients. I hold Lorraine's expertise at the highest level.

**★★★★★ — bmaisels, Feb. 2018**

> Lorraine has a great eye for design, but she distinguished herself from other design professionals I have worked with by resolving a challenging kitchen layout problem in our new condo by creatively shifting some walls in a couple of rooms. The new kitchen and adjoining rooms are not only stunning, but extremely practical!!  We’re delighted!!

**★★★★★ — Jeanette Berger, May 2017**

> I have used Lorraine, she is amazing and thanks to her my home is stunning. My bathrooms and kitchen are spectacular. Thanks so much

**★★★★★ — Lily Safrani, April 2017**

> Lorraine is a miracle worker... and such a talented one at that!  After an unexpected move, and meeting Lorraine only briefly, she and her team executed a stunning vision for my house and handled the bulk of my move-in in only three weeks time! From furniture, to artwork to lighting to even the wastebins, Lorraine set up a beautiful and functional home.  For the couple pieces that I felt didn't suit us, she was able to problem solve and swap items out. I feel like I've lived in my house for years! I'm thrilled with the outcome, and would highly recommend Lorraine as a designer.

**★★★★★ — denisehummel43, April 2017**

> Lorraine is the BEST designer!  She recently helped me with my kitchen, living room and dining room. Her ideas are very creative, chic and up-to-date. She has access to amazing contractors and can source any products. She is decisive and gets the work done effortlessly.  I love the result.  Thanks Lorraine!!!

**★★★★★ — Renée Ackermann, April 2017**

> I have known Lorraine's work for many years, when we were ready to renovate our upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms there wasn't anyone else we would consider.
> Her amazing sense of design, style, passion and color transformed our upstairs area into a stunning space!
> 6 months later, we renovated our downstairs, opening up out entire living/dining/kitchen area!
> Lorraine exceeded all expectations once again, her trade people were all professional, making our entire renovation a pleasure.
> I highly recommend Lorraine, and would use her again without hesitation.

**★★★★★ — Deborah Levy, April 2017**

> Working with Lorraine over the years has always been a positive experience.  Her professional and easy manner make her a pleasure to work with. Creative and talented with exquisite taste and timeless designs, puts Lorraine in a class of her own! Loving whichever project she has completed in our home, I would not hesitate to recommend her.

**★★★★★ — SKÖNA Design Inc., April 2017**

> Lorraine Franklin has been a customer of ours for over 10 years.  We have worked with her on multiple projects ranging from single kitchens to entire houses and most recently we were entrusted with her most personal project to date: her family cottage. Yet no matter the size or type of mill work Lorraine always puts her best foot forward, never ceasing to inspire us with her vision, creativity, sense of style and attention to detail. It truly has, is and will continue to be a pleasure to collaborate with Lorraine.

**★★★★★ — Tamarack North, March 2017**

> Working on any project with Lorraine is a pleasure.  Not only has she been an amazing resource in helping guide our clients though the complicated selection process, her exquisite taste in furniture, lighting and décor is nicely complimented by her very personable and attentive demeanor. Just like our team, Lorraine clearly listens to the clients’ expectations.
>
> Tamarack North Ltd is proud to refer Lorraine and her team. We look forward to completing our current project together and working on future projects down the road.
