"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am thrilled with the job you did on the apartment... it looks amazing.

You were so fast off the mark after my first phone call to you, your eye in selecting the rental furniture is excellent,

and you pulled together all the accessories so brilliantly, the condo shows beautifully.

Everyone who has seen it has commented on the transformation.

And even the short time frame didn't faze you at all, so thank you for your professionalism,

I would have no hesitation in recommending you on to anyone else"

"I recently had the opportunity to have Karen work on one of my listings.

What she accomplished truly transformed the property.

It went from cold, dated tired to warm, hip and refreshed.

All this was done on time and within budget. The feedback from clients and fellow agents were all positive".

I would retain Karen's services again without hesitation."

"We were not quite sure what to expect when we asked Karen to do a redesign using our own furniture with the objective of

improving the function and comfort of our home. One basic problem we had was that our living/dining area was not

comfortable or inviting and we generally avoided using it. A second problem was our family room with

somewhat the same concern.

So giving Karen carte blanche to use anything from any room, we went out for the day.

It was with some apprehension and anticipation that we returned

WOW!!! MAGIC So different!!! And Nicer!!

The result is our living and dining area is now inviting and suprisingly calmer. We like being in there and suddenly

we find ourselves using it a lot more and feeling good in there.

We don't need the fireplace or new furniture we had been considering and for half

the cost of a new sofa, the whole house has been transformed.

The family room was another big WOW and the reality of finding ourselves calmer and feeling better when we use the room.

To say that we are delighted is an understatement!!Thank you so much Karen.

WE LOVE IT!

Dear Karen

Thanks for the fine job you did in preparing my client's home for sale! They did not have enough furniture,

and the home lacked "hominess" 

You brought the right furniture pieces in, added all the needed extra props and crerated a "wow" factor that I hadn't even anticipated.

I appreciate how hard you worked and how much thought you put into pulling it all together in such a short time frame...

you are a true creative artist with a practical side that accomplishes  a lot within a reasonable budget.

I'd most definitely like to work with you again."

Hi Karen,

 Everybody loves the house and my friends can't get over how good it looks simplified. They are asking me for the color of the paint.

 I want to express my gratitude for all the hard work you've done and for carefully choosen details to coordinate everything. The house looks beautiful! 

Thank you for installing little magnet on the kitchen cupboard that never wanted to stay closed for the fresh and lovely flowers in the Master bedroom, for all decluttering and making the house look bigger and brighter, for getting and overseeing painter while I was away and much more. 

You truly are a Miracle Worker:-)))

Much appreciated.

Thanks again a million!

Cheers,

M.H. -  Oakville

Thank you so very much for all the work you did in our home. 

Testimonial : 

"Thanks to Karen's and Michelle's talent and diligent work our house sold in 7 days when other houses on our street have been listed for months. Prior to staging, we were provided with a detailed outline and quote of the work planned for our home. Karen and Michelle were consistently professional, upbeat, and conscientious. The pride they take in their work was reflected throughout our home and in our garden. They rearranged existing pieces of furniture to capture each room's unique character and brought in tastefully chosen accessories to create even greater appeal. We couldn't have been more pleased. We have already recommended them to friends and plan on inviting them to maximize the potential of our new home."

Take good care,

Daina

<!--StartFragment-->The prospect of preparing our well lived-in home for sale was terrifying to me with our two young children and their toys in the house<!--EndFragment--> 

Karen removed all of that stress for our family as we basically left the house for two weeks and came home to find it staged and ready to sell (and it did sell in a blessed 4 days).  We were truly impressed with Karen's incredible project management and time management skills, her attention to budget, and her fabulous design abilities. Our house was better designed and decorated that it had ever been the entire time we had lived in it. We will be having Karen into our new home to guide us in our future decorating and design efforts.  I couldn't imagine an easier way to go through the process of selling a home. Thanks so much Karen, words can't express our appreciation.  The Morris Family
