Universal Design in Hagerman's Corners.

“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!”

“Very professional designer with excellent vision and full for amazing ideas for any budget. We love our new design! Highly recommended for any size project.”

The entire project was handled and completed on schedule and whilst we were out of the country. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Tony and Phyllis Lasarow.”

“Over the course of the Spring of 2013, Revi Mula of Monaco Interiors helped us to design and renovate our basement. Revi was very easy to work with, very professional, and was a good listener. I had strong ideas of my own, and Revi was willing to incorporate them into the overall design of our space. At each phase of construction, Revi would create her drawings and then consult with us about them. We had a large, unfinished and open space, to start with. Revi hired only the best, most highly-skilled tradesmen to do everything for us, from the ductwork to the framing, drywalling and painting, electrical work, flooring, and everything in between. Revi cares about her firm's reputation and she will only work with people who are honest, hardworking and trustworthy and who do the job properly, and in a timely manner. The work space was kept clean, which mattered to us. We ended up with a very pleasing design for a practical work/play area that feels spacious and bright, yet uses every inch of space in a functional way. We now have an extra 3-piece bath, a closet below stairs, a walk-in pantry, a work/studio area, a beautiful seating/sleeping area with gas fireplace, book shelves and big-screen tv, and a games area as well as a new furnace room. Revi respected our budget and found us beautiful materials and furnishings that suited our style. Her tradespeople are very conscientious and and clearly have a good working relationship with Revi. She oversaw the work and made home visits at regular intervals for consultations and to check on the work. She maintains the highest standards for workmanship and final product, and any small problems were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Revi returned my phone calls and emails promptly, so our communication was excellent. I know that if you want good results, you have to work with people who take real pride in their work, and that's exactly what you get with Monaco Interiors. I would not hesitate to give Monaco Interiors the highest recommendation and have already referred them to some friends. We had a wonderful experience with Monaco Interiors and I would be delighted to work with them in future, should we need any more work done.”

“I’ve worked together with Olivia Bailey interiors on many projects . Olivia is an exceptionally talented designer with a great work ethic. She is fun, focused and I highly recommend her to anyone .”

“We hired Dhiraj to modify and re-do the full basement and found his recommendations and advise to be awesome. His suggestions helped us to better utilize the space\area we wanted to modify. He did some electrical work and fixed some major issues, plumbing - created a new washroom\shower stall, He recommended a gas line for the dryer and cooking range, as well as one for the outside bar-b-que. His finishing was excellent. I was particularly happy with his attention to detail. It was all very well done. The price was very reasonable and I would definitely hire him again in the future. ( I actually had to hire his services again as I was affected by the great flood in 2013). He again saw to it, that everything was completed and looked the same like before.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with LDR Designs on multiple projects over the past 3 years. I would highly recommend Linda DeRuiter and LDR Deisgns to anyone needing a design firm for major projects and smaller design projects. In our previous home LDR Designs gutted our kitchen and main bathroom. The end result was well designed, beautiful and functional. Our most recent project was in our new home. LDR Designs gutted our basement, dug down, installed radiant heating, gutted the basement bathroom and laundry room and then finished with new storage, cabinets and lovely finishes throughout. We are thrilled with the end result. LDR Designs also gutted the master bath and redesigned a 2nd floor bedroom for more space and storage. We are delighted with results and will continue to work with LDR Designs on future projects.”

“I hired Hillcrest Design to design and oversee a desperately needed kitchen renovation in my almost century old semi-detached house. Seven years later people come into my home and compliment the fabulous design and interesting details that still look current and beautiful. My tiny budget was respected and every dollar used creatively. Eve's attention to detail is fantastic and I would without reservation recommend her. The project went smoothly and quickly even when it grew to include a hallway and bathroom reno as well.”

“In the Real Estate industry, the first impression is crucial for a quick well priced sale. As a Realtor, I can’t stress enough the importance of a well staged home. Selling your home can be an emotional roller coaster and sellers can become quickly overwhelmed with endless “to do’s” to get their home market ready. Designing Durham along with their positive “can do” attitude has the vision, skill and expertise to transform any space into a real show stopper. My clients were amazed with the transformation and even more ecstatic to receive three registered offers within 48 hours of their home going on the market! Their home sold for 102% of asking! I truly could not have done it without you. Thanks for making me look so good! Your services consistently exceed my expectations and I’m extremely proud to recommend Designing Durham as my preferred staging supplier. A well staged home is half sold! Virginia Phillips Sales Representative Coldwell Banker R.M.R.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Kate Dickson when redesigning my main floor. She was extremely helpful when developing the layout of my renovation and designing my kitchen for optimum efficiency and workspace. Whenever meeting with Kate, she always came prepared with a number of different samples for me to review. She was able to take inspiration from items that I felt were really personal to me and incorporate them into the new design and layout. Renovations cans be stressful and long, it's important to work with people who are professional, patient and knowledgeable. Kate definitely embodies these.”
