Testimonials

"Thank you for the great work you did preparing my listing for the market. What a difference a few hours can make. I was truly impressed!"

"My listing sold within 24 hours, thanks to Sandi's consultation and suggestions - which the home owner followed to the letter."

"Sandi worked with us to reduce the clutter and redefine the rooms prior to listing our home for sale.  Implementing the suggested changes brought a sophisticated look to some dated décor.  Our house sold in just 3 days !"

room "What a pleasure it was working with you. Your professional touches and recommendations for the  re-placement of furniture  and de-cluttering make a significant  impact in the rooms, which makes them more attractive to the buyers."

"Thank  you so much for all your terrific suggestions to prepare our  home for sale.  What a difference these changes have made.  We will highly recommend you to anyone that is planning on selling."

"Sandi's redesign service and helpful suggestions gave my living room the finishing touch that it lacked."

"When we recently sold our family home and moved into a smaller space, Sandi Gerrard not only did  an inspired  job of staging  our house  for  sale, but  she  also  gave us  invaluable design advice for our new place, including which furniture to take, how to arrange it and tips on colour  and soft  furnishings.  In addition,  she and Andraya  found the perfect  places to hang  our favourite  art work.  As a result of all their help, our new place looks fabulous and already feels like home!"

"I can't believe the changes you made.  My house looks so beautiful - I wish I didn't have to sell at all."

"I can't tell you how grateful I am for the redesign  you did on our family room. You managed to take a room  that I literally was  too embarrassed  about to walk  through (let alone sit in) and make it welcoming and spacious. All this while using what I already had in the room and elsewhere in my home. Fantastic work!"

"It was a welcome surprise coming home to see what Sandi had done in our family room.  We had struggled with the layout of that room for many years, and in 2 hours with her keen sense of style she created a more open and inviting space."

"What a nice change.  My room looks more spacious.  I just can't believe it." 

"We were so pleased with the results of the redesign.  Our living room was much more inviting - ready for entertaining; and our dining room seemed brighter and more spacious.  Even the children noticed the difference!"

"Sandi and her creative team made my dining room and living room much more inviting and attractive. Before they transformed both rooms, I had planned to buy some new furniture, but now the rooms 'work' with older pieces that were either rearranged or 'rediscovered' in
other parts of the house. They found hidden gems within my home and brought a fresh, artistic perspective to the space."

"I just knew something needed to be done to the brick fireplace in our family room.  It looked very dated and the dull brown brick made the room seem dark and uninviting. Sandi painted all brickwork a cream colour to match the walls and then Andraya set to work giving the cement hearth and mantel a warm faux marble finish. This fireplace is now the focal point of our room, as it was meant to be. My friends and neighbours were awed by the dramatic results."

"All I can say is WOW.  I was very impressed with what you did.  I loved the arrangement of the sitting room.  When I finally was able to relax a bit, I noticed that the room felt very comfortable."  

"I was overwhelmed with excitement and emotion. The second I walked into my house it felt like HOME for the first time.  You worked some magic in my place.  Thank you all very much for the special care you took in transforming my house into my functional and flowing home."
