I hired Wendy Wilkinson Interiors to provide guidance and support in upgrading a number of areas in my townhouse. I knew of Wendy's work from friends whom she had completed beautiful projects. My project was a multi-room and multi task project and I needed help to break it down into manageable stages and to develop a budget to see it through.
Wendy's knowledge and intuition about the use of space, colour and fabrics, styling, placement of furniture, objectivity, workmanship, congeniality, support and budget conscious methods helped me to understand the process of achieving success of this multifaceted project.
The project consisted of:
- Painting the entire house: right from the entry level up to the kitchen, dining and living room level, and onwards to the next level consisting of office and guest room, and on up to the master suite
- Kitchen reallocation of space and purchase of new cabinetry for valuable storage solutions (our budget did not include a complete kitchen makeover)
- The largest budgeted item was the replacement of carpet with hard wood flooring. Wendy was instrumental in choosing new hard wood flooring for the office, guest room and associated hallway (one entire level of the house) to match the main floor existing hard wood on the level below. She was also responsible for our ultimate choice of replacement carpet for one of the stair cases, with a corresponding runner on the hard wood stair case from the entry level which provided wow factor as you stepped in the front door.
- new guest room furniture that was functional yet comfortable
- new draperies, carpets, accents, and rearrangement of furniture
- new lighting in dining area
We hadn't expected to sell our home but shortly after completing this project, we had to move. The townhouse sold in an extremely short period of time, and I believe it was due to the classic and tasteful outcome of our updates and how well the house showed.
Wendy has a wealth of knowledge and contacts to get just about anything done. If she doesn't know how to do it, she will know someone who does. I highly recommend her services, wether you are just doing a simple refresh or a complete makeover.
