Interior Designers & Decorators in Kawartha Lakes.

“We've had the opportunity to work with What's in Store Home and Design several times now and have found their work to be exceptional. Linda is creative and has great attention to detail. Her designs are both elegant and comfortable. We are now going to be starting our third project with them ~ our family room ~ and are so excited to see the end result. I just know we'll love it.”

“My husband and I own a bakery-deli. In business for 29 years, we found ourselves operating in a tired retail area that we had outgrown. We challenged Nancy Lem to survey our existing space, usage patterns, and traffic flow. We asked her to analyze this and present us with a preliminary conceptual design scheme. Over the course of months, the final design evolved. Pages of plans, detailed drawings, mill right designs, interior and exterior elevations, reflected ceiling plans, electrical/ telephone/ cable plans, flooring plans, finish plans, cabinetry and furniture plans, product specifications…. It was daunting…I really had no idea of what we had initiated, but there was no turning back. Nancy guided us effortlessly through this major renovation (6months). She was a demanding representative for us. Her drawings served as a compass for everyone involved in the project. Visiting the job site daily, checking everything from dimensions to the quality of application of the paint. Guiding the project to its completion. Nancy combines careful listening with creative vision and problem solving. In my opinion, it is this combination of qualities that contribute to her success. The end result was not just a work place that was beautiful, but practical and functional. Three years later, we decided to enhance the quality of our personal life by renovating our 22 year-old, residential property. I was happy to know that Nancy would be working beside us again. Our dining room and living room, were rarely used; and seemed such a waste of living space. The wall separating the kitchen and dining room in my opinion had to come down to create a more open, functional area. The colour palette was dated, and there was no design theme. I needed Nancy to fix all my wrongs and make me fall in love with my home. This reno lasted for six months and consisted of reconstructing a Living Room, Lounge area (formerly Dining Room), Kitchen, Seated Eating area, Two Bathrooms, Front Foyer, Family Room and Master Bedroom. Nancy drew up the plans, sourced the materials and furnishings, specified the fixtures and fittings, chose the colour scheme and advised on window coverings. She arranged subcontractors and basically supervised the entire process until the curtains and pictures were hung and the sofas positioned properly. She accessory shopped for me, and turned my house into a home. All I needed to do was personalize it with pictures. Nancy will find a solution to any design challenge. She will guide you through the process with a well thought out plan, helping you to avoid costly mistakes. She will assist you through your design process making you feel comfortable with your decisions. She will work closely with you to make sure whatever your project is; that is practical, functional and beautiful and will reflect your personal style and needs. Lisa”

“Angela is so incredibly talented! She came in to stage our lakehouse and it was like an episode of "Love it or List It"! In the end, we LOVED it! Her design ideas were inspired and her service and level of responsiveness were exceptional. I would highly recommend her services to anyone and we plan to use her again in the future.”

“As a Design / Renovate / Build firm we know very well that we are only as good as those that we partner with. Nancy and the Birchview team have been fantastic to work with from initial client introduction through to project completion. We thank you for trusting us with your clients and for all of your support throughout the renovation process. We would recommend Nancy and her team to anyone who needs that keen design eye, an easy work style and that bit of extra care during what can be a stressful decision making process!”

“We did a complete reno of a second floor house with an added third floor. Andria of ACM Designs was a reno saver! She guided me thru all of the interior design. She knew our budget and what we envisioned. She listen to my ideas and helped guide me in all areas, from tiles to toilets! I could not have done this without her help. I have no problem recommending ACM design for any project, she was honnest, knowledgeable, and listen to what we wanted.”

“Really pleased with all the recommendations Casual Luxury suggested. The bathroom colours are perfect and would not change a thing. Would definitely recommend Casual Luxury Interiors to anyone.”

“Working with Harbinger Interiors was a dream come true! This was our first experience working with an interior designer, and we could not be more thrilled with our finished project. Although we had to change our original plans a few times, Harbinger Interiors made this happen with ease. We have created a very personal family space together, which I will forever be greatful for. Seeing our vision come to life, in a more beautiful package than I could have ever imagined, has been once again a dream come true.”

“Recently, I had the seats of my dining room chairs and my grandmother's antique wooden armed chair reupholstered. Mary Anne was most wonderful in taking the time in helping me hone in on the perfect design fabric for both projects. Although my project was in a long cue, once begun, her upholsterer completed the projects quickly and with excellent workmanship. Thank you, Mary Anne!”

“I asked Kate&Co. to assist me in the design of my retail location last summer. I own a café so, it was important that my space stand out from the crowd and give the town a taste of something they haven’t seen before. Kate assisted me with paint colour, furniture selection and accessorizing. The support was great when pulling the space together. I would say that my shop now has an urban/industrial feeling that my customers really enjoy. It’s a comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to host a business meeting or a coffee date with friends. Boiling Over's Coffee Vault has become a versatile space that I am happy to provide for my community. It was great to work with someone who is also a fellow business owner in Lindsay. If we can all find a way to share our strengths with fellow businesses our community will grow to be even stronger. I would recommend Kate to any business owner who is looking to revamp their space or anyone who needs help with developing a concept for their store!”
