Client Testimonials

"Melanie & Laurence were an absolute pleasure to work with! After 5 years of struggling with a difficult space, I asked the professionals and they delivered! A brand new layout no-one else had considered, a colour palette, fabric recommendations and links to furniture- they gave it all! I was very nervous to spend what is a lot of money for me... but they made it so worth it! They are so kind & talented and I wish I could hug them in thanks for all their help! Highly recommend working with them!"

Their detailed suggestions and tips where almost all things I would never have thought of since I have zero background in design.

"The best return on investment! Our time with Melanie and Laurence was invaluable in nailing down our bathroom reno. We had an idea of what we wanted, but no clue how to execute it. Within minutes, they recommended a brilliant layout tweak we would’ve never thought of. Being in the same city, they were quick to recommend local woodworkers, stone yards, and trade resources—going as far as giving us their reps’ names and extending discounts. We now have a solid path forward, thank you! 10 stars!!"

"C'est un immense privilège d'être conseillé par deux femmes aussi lumineuses que les expériences de design qu'elles réalisent. Elles partagent avec générosité leur vision, tout en modulant celle-ci sur les réalités budgétaires du projet. Jamais à court de ressources, elles formulent des suggestions avisées sur tous les aspects soumis à leur étude et vous dirigent vers les bonnes ressources pour faire des choix avisés. On se sent épaulé, mieux guidé. J'espère les consulter à nouveau un jour !"
