“We have been enjoying the professionalism and delivery of excellent service by Turnbull Interiors in the renovation of our homes since 1995.

We use Turnbull Interiors for all our renovation and interior decorating needs because they have always met and exceeded our expectations.”

“I hired Endless Ideas when I bought my new home to help select colours and to draw up a floor plan for furniture placement. In addition to purchasing some furnishings from them, I also had a few of my favorite pieces re-upholstered. Marissa and her staff did a great job in helping me select colours, furnishings, draperies, fabrics and accessories. I love going into the Endless Ideas store. The staff is so friendly and very easy to work with.”

“I would highly recommend Design for Conscious Living. I wanted to spice up my drab apartment and decided that I needed professional help, so I hired Celia. I was initially impressed by her professionalism and soon learned that she also has a sense of humour, which was useful when she worked with me to accommodate my somewhat eclectic tastes, The results were beyond my expectations. Even simple things she suggested completely changed the feel of an area. Her use of colour and her ability to utilize space transformed my normal dull apartment into a vibrant living space, on which I have since received numerous compliments from friends. She was a pleasure to work with, and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

“Amanda did not disappoint!! She did an exceptional job staging our house which sold for over asking! I would definitely recommend Amanda. She was lovely to work with :)”

“We worked with Jo Redman in building our home. She listened to our vision for the space, and then brought them to life in ways that were better than we ever imagined. Jo Redman ensured that our open plan house achieved a cohesive, unified look. She has excellent working relationships with suppliers and trades, which ensured that all parties involved in building our home were pulling together on this project.”

“Susan of Toronto Designers has been a lifesaver for me. First when we put our house up for sale she was instrumental in the staging process. Then when we moved to our new house, she was able to facilitate and coordinate the decorating throughout the entire house. She developed a concept and carried it through working with contractors and myself to achieve the look and feel that my husband and I wanted. She is a complete professional - always on time, never wastes time, excellent dealing with retail and wholesale staff, and has a variety of creative ideas for every challenge.”

“Angela is so incredibly talented! She came in to stage our lakehouse and it was like an episode of "Love it or List It"! In the end, we LOVED it! Her design ideas were inspired and her service and level of responsiveness were exceptional. I would highly recommend her services to anyone and we plan to use her again in the future.”

“My husband and I own a bakery-deli. In business for 29 years, we found ourselves operating in a tired retail area that we had outgrown. We challenged Nancy Lem to survey our existing space, usage patterns, and traffic flow. We asked her to analyze this and present us with a preliminary conceptual design scheme. Over the course of months, the final design evolved. Pages of plans, detailed drawings, mill right designs, interior and exterior elevations, reflected ceiling plans, electrical/ telephone/ cable plans, flooring plans, finish plans, cabinetry and furniture plans, product specifications…. It was daunting…I really had no idea of what we had initiated, but there was no turning back. Nancy guided us effortlessly through this major renovation (6months). She was a demanding representative for us. Her drawings served as a compass for everyone involved in the project. Visiting the job site daily, checking everything from dimensions to the quality of application of the paint. Guiding the project to its completion. Nancy combines careful listening with creative vision and problem solving. In my opinion, it is this combination of qualities that contribute to her success. The end result was not just a work place that was beautiful, but practical and functional. Three years later, we decided to enhance the quality of our personal life by renovating our 22 year-old, residential property. I was happy to know that Nancy would be working beside us again. Our dining room and living room, were rarely used; and seemed such a waste of living space. The wall separating the kitchen and dining room in my opinion had to come down to create a more open, functional area. The colour palette was dated, and there was no design theme. I needed Nancy to fix all my wrongs and make me fall in love with my home. This reno lasted for six months and consisted of reconstructing a Living Room, Lounge area (formerly Dining Room), Kitchen, Seated Eating area, Two Bathrooms, Front Foyer, Family Room and Master Bedroom. Nancy drew up the plans, sourced the materials and furnishings, specified the fixtures and fittings, chose the colour scheme and advised on window coverings. She arranged subcontractors and basically supervised the entire process until the curtains and pictures were hung and the sofas positioned properly. She accessory shopped for me, and turned my house into a home. All I needed to do was personalize it with pictures. Nancy will find a solution to any design challenge. She will guide you through the process with a well thought out plan, helping you to avoid costly mistakes. She will assist you through your design process making you feel comfortable with your decisions. She will work closely with you to make sure whatever your project is; that is practical, functional and beautiful and will reflect your personal style and needs. Lisa”

“Aniko did a great job with us during our complete home renovation. She presented new and unique ideas for our renovation and worked alongside the various trades until completion. We are extremely happy with the outcome and have Anikos number on speed dial for future ideas and projects”

“Recently I purchased my first apartment with my boyfriend. Because I had never decorated my own place before I was very confused with colour choices and on what wall each colour should be on. Lori was beyond the most helpful, patient and knowledgeable interior decorate I have ever come across. She explained to me how the sun can come in at certain angles making the colour choices I picked looking very different than the colour samples. Because of her she made our apartment feel like a home rather than a stepping stone till our next place. I couldn’t have done it without her help!”
