Simply Design

We were looking to update our home without being renovation poor and wanting to spend our money wisely by making good choices. We did not know where to begin. We contacted Simply Design. Stacey listened to our wishes and needs and worked with us till we had the renovation that met our needs and budget. Simply Design /Simply Renovate did an excellent job on renovating our kitchen, 2 bathrooms, main floor and mechanical room. Stacey and Nilton are an excellent team and work with a great group of tradesmen. They were professional, Covid compliant, on schedule and our project was on budget. We are so happy with the end results and would definitely recommend Stacey and Nilton for your renovation project.

After living in my house for 5 years with the colours of the previous owners on my walls it was time to update and make the home mine. I have not idea what colours work and don't work so I asked Stacey of Simply Design to consult with me. We walked through the house socially distanced and worked together to pick the right colours for the house and each room. They are now on my walls and I love them! I would never have done such a good job at this. I am thrilled with the outcome! Thank you Stacy and Simply Design for your help with this.

Stacey and Nilton and each one of their crew people were excellent in all categories. Our condo building benefited greatly from their reno.

We were starting a main floor renovation and realized we had so many ideas but just didn't know how to execute them. We found Stacey's information on the internet, called her and from just a 15 minute conversation with her we knew that she was what exactly what we needed. Stacey is knowledgeable, creative, resourceful and professional. Her expertise was demonstrated at every step of the process. She listened, remembered everything that we talked about and worked hard to keep us on time and on budget. She has numerous connections in the trades, construction and design world which really helped us when making decisions and turning our dreams into a reality. Stacey is an excellent communicator, she answered endless emails, phone calls and texts as she made a point to be available whenever we needed her. We really appreciated the flexibility in her design packages as we were able to choose a package that fit our needs and budget perfectly. We cannot recommend Simply Design enough to those that may be looking for someone to design or renovate their space. Thank you Stacey for making our design dreams become a reality!

I recently had clients who purchased a property and were looking to make a few changes. I recommended they give Stacey a call to help them with the design process and bring their ideas to life. My clients were so happy with the work and professionalism both Stacey and Nilton displayed throughout the entire process. I was able to see the renovations first hand and the final product was exactly what they were looking for!!! Thank you for taking such great care of my clients! Corby Hannam C21

We were Stacey's clients in the 1874 Log home.. The house needed a complete renovation. It was a huge project that included new floors, bathrooms, kitchen, heating and finishing. Stacey manged the whole project for us including design, finding, co-coordinating and working with contractors and looking after quality control. We couldn't have been happier with the result. Stacey is very organised and responsive and really pays attention to detail. We also had Stacey's counterpart, Nilton Teixeira of Simply Renovate do a lot of the actual work and the results were equally great. We were so happy with the outcome that we have booked Simply Design and Simply Renovate for our next project this summer.

Stacey is an awesome full-service designer. Working with her brilliant ideas and design, the renovation team made the work look easy. Stacey designed, decorated and furnished the entire house for us. Everything flowed so nicely, and she chose art and sculpture that complimented the space. She took on the job in late December 2018, and everything was complete, right down to the window coverings and light fixtures before deadline and on budget. Stacey puts a lot of effort into the details of the job. I would highly recommend Stacey and Simply Design for any design / Reno -- small or large!

Stacy did an excellent job with consulting us on our kitchen Reno. Stacy worked with us to come up with a design, helped us pick paint colors, counter tops, light fixtures etc. Always answered when we called for advice or to clarify. I would highly recommend her!

Stacey is very thorough, professional and has an exceptional eye for detail! I follow them on social media and can appreciate the quality of their work! I look forward to having some renovations done in my own home in the near future and will certainly hire this company!

Stacey design and help me modify the old kitchen with add on storage so I have more cabinet and feel like home again. Kitchen it one favor section that I spend a lot of time.

Stacey was referred to me by a friend through her BNI group. Stacey was eager to come to my home and work with us to design a new kitchen. She provided three designs and did exactly what I had asked - give me something I couldn't have thought of myself! Stacey was great in recommending contractors and trades people for our renovation. Although we managed the reno ourselves, she did check in on us to see how it was going. I highly recommend Stacey for her professionalism and creativity!

I have a painting company and have painted for several clients that have used Simply Design for their design and project management . Stacey's clients have always raved about how efficient and seamless the project has gone. They always mention Stacey's professional and friendly customer service updates and resourceful problem solving. it's a pleasure to work with her happy clients.

We used Stacey and Simply Design for a basement renovation in my Mother's house. We found Stacey to be professional, easy and fun to deal with and genuine in her desire to ensure we were happy with the outcome. When we ran into issues (beyond Stacey's control) she was quick to contact us and offer suggestions and solutions. As we were trying to complete this renovation long distance, Stacey consistent and thorough communication on the progress was very much appreciated. She also went out of her way to ensure my Mom, a recent widow, was comfortable with the progress and knew what was happening and when. We would highly recommend Stacey and hope her business continues to thrive as she has earned her success!

After shopping around Barrie for the best avenues to design and renovate our kitchen, we settled on Simply Design (simplydesign.ca) located at 80 Bradford St in Barrie. We could not have made a better choice. Stacey Kost paid her own way between store discounts and the time we saved. Stacey came up with the drawings for approval, helped choose colours and fixtures, had on-site meetings with the contractors to align colours schemes and design work, pulled together an accurate itemized estimate, scheduled the trades, shopped for the product options, made purchases on our behalf, met with us at stores, tracked the costs and payments with regular reports, provided daily on-site inspections, insisted on quality results, and took action when correction was needed. She handled unexpected repairs within budget and did not hesitate to have work re-done when it did not meet her standards. Our final kitchen workflow is exceptional without having to change walls or doorways. The cabinetry is beautiful and nicely accented with consistent light fixtures across three rooms. Stacey extended the kitchen design theme right through the dinette with a natural flow into the living room. The custom cabinets were made to exceptionally high standards. Our cramped kitchen evolved into a highly functional chef's dream. Stacey has extensive trade contacts as well as an experienced partner for 2nd opinions, a head for store selection and discounts, budget worksheets that reflect planned versus actual as well as paid versus upcoming invoices. She made sure everyone got paid and kept to their quotes. Stacey is easy to work with and she understands that small errors can make a big difference. She had no difficulty co-ordinating the efforts of plumbers, electricians, gas fitters, dry-wallers, framers, tilers, painters, installers, and cabinet makers, along with deliveries, inspections, and demolition removal. She was able to set realistic expectations and follow through on technical problems with an accurate final accounting. Basically Stacey worked through every stage of the project, from design and feature selection, through demolition, unexpected repairs, construction, installations, and cost accounting. The result is an absolute delight, and we cannot thank Stacey enough for her hard work! It was a pleasure to work with her.

We had Simply Design provide us with a detailed plan and budget for our new bathroom renovation. We went into the reno idea knowing what we wanted but had not idea on budget and how to get there. Simply Design provided all of the answers and we now have a budget to work with. Stacey was great to talk to about products and finishes. Thank you Simply Design

Stacey was fantastic in helping us with our first ever project to update our very outdated country kitchen. She presented us with great ideas and took on all of the hassle of choosing and coordinating with all of the professionals and suppliers that we needed to complete the job. Even better, she managed to have everyone start and finish the job while we took a vacation - the best way ever to have kitchen work done. Our favourite part (who knew!) is our new backsplash - people love it!

We hired Stacey to do a major bathroom ensuite renovation and walk in closet/dressing room. My husband and I had never hired a designer before and will never do another renovation moving forward without her

In early 2016, Stacey (owner of Simply Design) was asked to draw up a redesign of our leased office space, acting as an informal liaison between our team as users of the space, and our landlord. Stacey met with me on several occasions (often on short notice) to ensure that our vision was accurately captured in her drawings. She asked lots of great questions which helped her get it right. Stacey's flexibility, knowledge and ability to meet timelines was very much appreciated. THANK-YOU! Jo in Barrie

Very happy with the outcome of our kitchen Island. We had a very specific style in mind and Stacey was able to help replicate it beautifully for us.

We hired Simply Design to renovate our basement space (bedroom and living room) from the framed stage to ready-to-paint drywall. The job was completed on time and on budget, to a high quality standard. During the renovation, Stacey took the time to review our small kitchen space and create a design that will enable us to make better use of the space and enjoy our time in the kitchen. I recommend calling Simply Design for your reno project! Leigh, Barrie

Stacey was absolutely amazing. She came on site and provided fantastic feedback in regards to flow, placement and design. She completed the project on time and took the stress away from myself in ensuring it would look good.

Stacey is dependable, honest, and highly skilled in seeing the potential in all spaces! She brings a fresh, fun and sophisticated flair to any home she works with. I highly recommend her talent. Why go through the stress of the renovation alone?

Stacy was very helpful with the design and colour choices for our new design loft. Simply Design has been an asset when it comes to customers that are struggling with colour choices and design dilemmas. As a professional Kitchen and renovation company we feel secure and confident in sending our customers to Stacy at Simply design. Scott Hunter Canadiana Kitchens Barrie

Stacey was wonderful to work with. She really listened to my wants and needs for this project and provided me with professional drawings to take to different companies to get quotes for my little Kitchen. I look forward to being able to work with Stacey again.

Stacey of Simply Design took time to come out to my place of business and listen to what needs I wanted to ensure were top of mind in my design. She measured and sketched. When she had a list of my wants and her measurements she went to work coming up with a very clean and open design for my office space. I can't wait to set the space up with Simply Designs plan. I would recommend Simply Design.

Stacey is an amazing planner. She took the time to listen carefully to all ofy ideas. She had creative solutions to address some of the problem areas in my space. Her drawings were detailed and professionally drawn. She provided awesome descriptions/estimates in a professional report, outlining all needs and costs for the space. I especially liked how thorough her plan was. In addition, she is just a down-right great person, direct, and gets the job done right. Thanks for all your help Stacey. I look forward to working with you again.

We hired Stacey from Simply Design to design our kitchen. I knew what I liked but did not know how to put it together. Along came Stacey. Stacey worked with us, listened to our wish lists and worked within our kitchen's limitations to create our dream kitchen. She came up with some great ideas that I never would have thought of myself such as a counter depth fridge, quartz backsplash for easy cleaning, stainless steel farmhouse sink, a super Susan and great great storage ideas. We also hired Stacey to coordinate the project with the trades people. Thank goodness we did. Things went relatively smooth. We didn't have time to make phone calls and book the trades people ourselves. Stacey did all that. If there was something we did not like then Stacey made sure it was fixed. Such as touch ups with the cabinetry, mudding and paint. Renovating your kitchen is very stressful and expensive; which is why I strongly recommend Stacey from Simply Design. She works with you and for you. Everything fell well within our budget. She is patient; I did request a few changes. She gets excited about the project; just like it was her own renovation. You won't regret hiring Stacey...she's worth it.

Our business uses Stacey Dimitry exclusively as our kitchen designer. She is meticulous in details and extremely knowledgeable about the kitchen design industry. Stacey Dimitry puts her clients' needs first and understands their needs. She works diligently with her clients, providing outstanding customer service.

Last November we undertook to completely remodel our kitchen. This included removing 2 walls to open up the space. Stacey was involved from the onset and helped with planning, estimating cost and design. She had a lot of constructive ideas and suggestions. Stacey listened to our wish-list and came up with a wonderful design. The project was on-time and on-budget. We couldn't be happier with the new kitchen. Our highest recommendations for Stacey!

Being a sales professional myself I can appreciate and recognize exceptional service.. With Stacey its evident from first meeting. Communication, insight, expertise, experience.. all things that are a must when looking for any professional and this case kitchens and vanities! Not only am I a client and I refer her services to any and all my clients and with great confidence that she will not only meet the expectations but surpass them. Anyone is always free to come see any of her work in my home.
