“Barbara’s attention to detail was astounding
Barbara helped me update and expand my condo kitchen. Countertops and additional storage cupboards blended perfectly with existing kitchen. She brought professional painters to make my kitchen look magazine worthy! She designed a large, beautiful cabinet for my foyer. Life changing! Large, white marble like tiles brighten the entryway and seem to never get particularly dirty. Barbara’s attention to detail was astounding. I began with no ideas but working with Barbara, I began to see the potential and we worked very well together. I highly recommend Barbara for any update/renovation.”

”Barbara pulled together our main floor (flooring, all new furniture, colours, etc)
and planned our entire basement
We had never used a designer but needed help. We hired Barbara for an initial consultation on how best to tackle moving my office to the basement. She was instrumental in asking questions about things I never thought of and helped us really see
the potential. Barbara also helped us see that there were things we actually didn’t need to do, and that other items would benefit us more. We ended up hiring Barbara to manage the reno.
From my boards on Houzz and Pinterest with conversations she was able to pull together
our whole main floor (flooring, all new furniture, colours, etc) and plan our entire basement.
My husband and I both loved everything. On budget, and totally our taste. She did all the
legwork and planned everything to the last detail.
Our home is now completely pulled together, and feels like adults actually live here! She was professional, extremely knowledgeable and always available to answer emails and provide
answers to things I had no clue about. We now have a beautifully finished basement. It’s totally cohesive in tone and feel which I could never have done on my own.
And most importantly? It all fits our family like a glove.”
“I would recommend her whole heartedly
”Barbara was amazing. Her immediate understanding of what i wanted to accomplish and
my budget constraints. She was fabulously creative, yet totally patient with my input.
Her demeanour was so comfortable. The time flew and yet so much was accomplished.”

“Excellent Design Service - We got amazing layouts and colour schemes
for our living room and study from Barbara
We have been in our home for 3 years now using the layout suggestions Barbara gave us, and we have really been able to enjoy the spaces to their fullest because of her excellent advice.
Each zone in the open concept living room functions perfectly, including the welcome/shoes area,
the piano nook, the TV/socializing space, the dining area, and the kitchen.
Our dog had the perfect spot for her bed so that she could be with us,
but also not in any danger of being stepped on.
Before we implemented Barbara's layout, there were no well-defined zones, the space just
didn't feel as comfortable or functional, and we just didn't feel as great when we were in the space.
As soon as we moved things around the way she suggested, we felt so much better,
and the space worked so much better for us.
I recently reached out to her for some advice about turning our study/office
into a guest bedroom, and she was so generous with her time and advice.
I would highly recommend Barbara for your interior design needs!”

”Barbara helped turn a tired old space into a comfortable, functional and stylish home
I moved into a condo unit which needed a facelift throughout as well as a complete kitchen renovation. Barbara prepared a design plan and budget, and managed all the work done which included new floors, lighting, furnishings, closet interiors, kitchen cabinetry and countertops.
The work took a bit longer to complete than expected, but that was due to issues beyond Barbara’s control. I am very pleased with the results. Barbara helped turn a tired old space into a comfortable, functional and stylish home!”
