Downsizing Services in King, ON

“We had a great experience with Carol Ann. She was patient as we considered our options and professional throughout the process. There were a couple of small issues that came up during installation (as they often do) but she swiftly resolved them to our satisfaction. Now we are talking with her about doing our office windows.”

“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.”

“Aniko did a great job with us during our complete home renovation. She presented new and unique ideas for our renovation and worked alongside the various trades until completion. We are extremely happy with the outcome and have Anikos number on speed dial for future ideas and 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!

“I hired Sarah the first time 3 years ago to help me redesign my newly bought condo. A baby and a new house later, I had the same need to give personality to the new home. Sarah has a gift for picking just the right item for the right place, and the whole home looks gorgeous with a cohesive look throughout. Sarah provided guidance and advices during the whole process, and we can now enjoy a great looking home. I'd highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of an interior designer.”

“I just used Terri for the second time and I am so happy! Terri helped make my house a home. She was dedicated making herself available, guided me through tough decisions, and went above and beyond with the detail! I felt so comfortable working with Terri. She's always up for a challenge and is willing to help guide her clients on how to maximize their budgets.I would recommend Terri to anyone looking for a well thought out, well executed design project!!”

“Darlene has again brought her expertise and professionalism to our home. When we decided to completely renovate our kitchen and two full bathrooms, Darlene spent many hours putting together different proposals and layouts until just the right ones were found. Our contractor was recommended by Darlene and they worked together to ensure that all work was completed to everyone's satisfaction. The project was kept to budget, other than one unexpected cost and the timelines of the project were good. Darlene kept in touch throughout the project and visited on-site to ensure everything was going smoothly. The kitchen is just what we envisioned and both bathrooms, especially the en-suite bathroom, are perfect. My husband and I are totally happy with all the decisions made and how well Darlene was able to create the look that we wanted.”

“After removing the wall between our kitchen and living/dining room, I was overwhelmed with all the design and decorating decisions to be made. Janet helped enormously giving me great insight, helping with the details and giving alternatives I had never thought about. She helped with lighting choices, floor finishes, tiles and colour schemes by offering many choices and giving guidance for the final decision. Janet also let me know good places to shop to stay within my budget. Thanks Janet, I could not have done it without you”

“Raquel Chan Designs provides an overall experience to interior design. She has excellent customer service skills, a strong interior design knowledge base and knows how to fit your her designs within your budget. She remodeled our kids bathroom to a luxurious spa getaway and beautifully designed my 4 year old's bedroom to a princess paradise. I would recommend Raquel for any interior design project.”
