Mary Dancey Interiors

Mary designed our dream kitchen. She was able to create images of the kitchen so that we knew what to expect. She gave us lots of ideas and helped us reach solutions to create our amazing kitchen. She was easily accessible to answer our questions and came over to meet with our contractor on multiple occasions. She was always very friendly and willing to help.

Mary came to us highly recommended and we have not been disappointed. She has been a valued consultant for and project manager of full renovations of our 2 bathrooms and other key changes in our home, including hardwood flooring replacement, a redesign of our fireplace, and space planning. Mary dealt with unexpected challenges that arose during our projects both promptly and professionally, and she ensured that we always felt heard and supported. We continue to work with Mary on design concepts and colour schemes, and do not hesitate to recommend her based on her experience and expertise.

We had finally made the decision to do some much needed renovation work in our home but realized we needed help. We contacted Mary Dancey Interiors and after meeting with Mary we felt she was the person who could provide us with that help. Mary was so much fun to work with and any challenges that came up she helped us to overcome them. Not only was she professional, she was extremely knowledgeable which showed in the drawings she created and the suggestions she made throughout the project. Mary was always available to talk things over with whether in person, over the phone or by email. We highly recommend Mary Dancey Interiors.

Mary was instrumental in helping us design our new kitchen from scratch. We have a century home and needed to update the kitchen into a more functional family space while keeping with the décor and feel of the rest of the house. Knowing we had different ideas from the start, we hired Mary to help us develop a joint vision for the kitchen, satisfy our different requirements and develop a space that would become the centre of our house (while staying within a budget we were comfortable with). We are incredibly happy with the outcome, with Mary's expertise and ideas, and with her helpfulness along the way in answering our many questions. Her services are highly recommended!

Our project is not yet completed. However, we have found that Mary has been very professional. We are very pleased with the design plan for our master bedroom and bathroom that she has given us. She has great suggestions and answers any questions we may have. Mary returns our calls or emails promptly. She has been a pleasure to work with.

Mary did an excellent job helping us create a livable space in our basement. It was a small space (400 square feet) but her design maximized the amount of usable area. She was easy to work with and helped us source materials that were aesthetically pleasing and in line with our budget.

Mary was very helpful in giving us a vision of how our kitchen could look after a renovation. She actually gave us many ideas and her drawings were flawless. She helped us find a wonderful contractor and made herself available for questions/ concerns throughout the Reno. We absolutely love our new kitchen and couldn't have done it without her. Thanks Mary!

We were grateful that Mary Dancey answered our request for a consultation on a holiday long-weekend! New to the area, we were in the throes of a large home renovation and had several areas we needed help with from the kitchen, paint and furniture to our walk-in closet and window coverings. Mary is a great listener and came back with ideas all within our budget. She also has a bevy of contacts and suppliers. Mary works with you in a true partnership and follows through each project to the end all while keeping you informed of timelines. We are still working through our list! We'd recommend Mary's expertise in a heartbeat. Jen & Rick

I had been wanting to renovate my living room, dining room, hallway and kitchen for quite sometime, but was a bit overwhelmed at where to begin. I had the good fortune of having a friend recommend Mary to me. I am happy to say the renovations are now complete and I am thrilled with the contemporary, peaceful feel of this new space. From my first meeting with Mary I was struck with how carefully she listened to and respected my hopes for the space, while provide ideas regarding what might be possible. She helped me think through major decisions (e.g., Should the hardwood floor be replaced? What will be the design for the new built-in cabinets around the fireplace? What pieces of furniture should I retain and how to incorporate these into the new space? (who would of thought my grandmother's Singer sewing machine, with a new live edge wood top, would be such a spectacular sofa table!). Mary's recommendations for various tradespeople and furnishings were terrific and saved me precious time. She also took on project management when I needed to be out of town at a crucial period of time. And, Mary was always conscious of how she could help me achieve my goals but also with budget in mind. I have already recommended Mary to others and I would definitely use her again. She made the process a collaborative undertaking - and that reduced the stress for me. It was a real privilege to work with her.

After trying to elicit an inspired bathroom design from two contractors and two box stores, a neighbor suggested we speak with Mary. Mary provided a design we loved within days and was able to incorporate an existing skylight into the shower creating a unique and beautiful space. Mary suggested we create a Houzz Idea Book so she could learn more about what we liked. She was a great listener and very respectful of our ideas while providing her own great suggestions. She provided names of contractors, sub contractors and all the samples of finishes for us to consider. The process was fun and eventually had to become long distance as we headed south for holidays. We asked Mary to manage the construction process while we were away. She worked seamlessly with the contractor while providing us with regular updates and photos of progress. We managed to miss all the uncomfortable part of a renovation and return home to a simply beautiful bathroom, all thanks to Mary!

We hired Mary to redesign and oversee the renovation of our main bathroom. It was a small bathroom with some challenges. Mary exceeded our expectations. Her design recommendations and attention to detail resulted in a beautiful bathroom that we thought was not possible in that space. Mary was easy to work with and made sure that we were happy throughout every step of the renovation. We will be using Mary again for our next project.

We hired Mary Dancey to help us upgrade our poorly laid out kitchen. From the beginning we found her friendly and approachable, but always professional. She listened to our ideas brought her own expertise to the table, putting together a great design which added to our existing cabinetry and complemented the open plan design of our home. She was able to source a cabinetmaker who was able to match our cabinets beautifully and she arranged the templating and installation of fabulous quartz countertops. She was mindful of budget, and more than happy to adapt her design to suit our needs. Overall, the whole process was seamless and very well executed. We love our amazing "new" kitchen and would not hesitate to recommend Mary Dancey to friends and family.
