“In 2025, we contacted Ariane from ABtelier Design to redesign our kitchen and bathroom, which was converted into a powder room and laundry room. Renovations began in October and were completed in December 2025. From the very beginning, Ariane took the time to truly understand what my wife and I had in mind. She incorporated the best of our ideas while also bringing her own expertise and creativity to the project. She provided detailed 3D concepts and clearly explained every step of the process, which made us feel confident and well-informed throughout. Her years of experience were evident not only in her design recommendations, but also in the trusted contractors and vendors she referred us to. From cabinets, tiles, countertops, and lighting to the finer finishing details, every recommendation felt thoughtful, professional, and aligned with our tastes. She also went beyond the original scope of the project by helping us redesign our living room and choose flooring for the entire level, including the dining room and three bedrooms. She even accompanied us to tile, countertop, and furniture stores to help guide our decisions in person. Throughout the renovations, Ariane remained actively involved. She regularly followed up with the contractor and checked in with me to ensure we were satisfied with the progress and quality of the work. She was always available to brainstorm ideas and offer advice, even when it fell outside her original mandate. Working with Ariane has been an absolute pleasure, and I would confidently recommend her to any friend or family member looking to transform and elevate their home.”
