We were hesitant hiring someone to help us with our bathroom remodel, mainly because we thought we would get someone inexperienced that just wanted to talk about "colors and themes." I cannot even begin to tell you the depth of Toni's expertise, experience and knowledge. She literally planned out for us a bathroom remodel that included replacing walls, electrical wiring, new in-ceiling lighting, new plumbing, fixtures and everything you could imagine in between. Seriously, "colors and themes" was dealt with as one would expect, but we were blown away by how she single-handedly planned out major construction issues. I won't lie, we are still in shock at how Toni not only planned out all major details of this large construction project, but did all the work getting extremely qualified workers to get it all done. We literally sat back and watched everything unfold, comfortable knowing this was in good hands. The number of people she organized, kept on schedule, and followed up on was quite staggering. She brought us shopping to businesses that don't even deal with retail customers, she made suggestions, and personally walked us through every detail of this project. Her lists of contacts is amazingly extensive. I believe she is considered an "Interior Decorator," but she is much more than that, because there is no way in heaven that title could possibly encompass the skills and knowledge she possesses. The most important thing she did was listen to what we wanted. The rare times we didn't take her suggestion on something, she deftly pivoted from her original suggestion to what she learned from our words, desires, and even our facial expressions. There are three adults in our home, and each of us have slightly different visions. Yet, somehow, in the end, she managed to find consensus where none previously existed. That in itself should tell you how intelligent and insightful Toni is. She did such an amazing job with our bathroom, that we hired her for our stair remodel, new floors upstairs, and likely our kitchen when that time comes. If you have any kind of home project that you need done, you should go with Toni if you want it done perfect, because I think "perfect" is the only way that Toni does things.
While this is completely unrelated to our construction project, Toni is personable, witty, likable, and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Let me sum up with this: Toni was absolutely NOT what we expected, and that is by far the best thing that could have happened to us.
