I highly recommend Linda Stimson of Inner Visions Interiors. We were moving into an antique home…read moreand wanted to decorate our great room starting with a blank slate. Linda helped us focus on a scheme from soup to nuts, starting with the selection of rugs and adding furniture, lighting, wall and window treatments. She very efficiently orchestrated the process so that we had everything in place by the holidays. It's stunning, love the results!

We live in a smallish house built in 1928. Linda helped us redo lighting, flooring, furnishings,…read moreand art in the living room, dining room and entrance. The space is challenging and Linda worked miracles with it. She managed to get existing furnishings to mix with new items that she helped us choose. Her expertise with lighting and color are remarkable. We were hoping for some improvement and ended up with something really special. Our living space is so much lighter, more functional and - prettier. Meanwhile, historic furniture, art, etc has a place as well. We are delighted. On a practical note, in any renovation, large or small, snags happen. Linda was super quick to resolve the two minor issues that came up. She was totally committed to seeing that the job was done perfectly. No detail was too small.

If I could give 1000 stars to Megan Healy Design I would!!! First of all- Megan Healy is incredibly…read moretalented not only with her sense of design, color, textures, but also layout/flow of a space and, even better and more rare in my experience, finding that perfect balance between beautiful design but practical functional use. She also is an excellent listener and really gets what her clients are going for and is able to use her years of expertise in the field to research solutions, find just the right pieces or paint colors, while also magically working well within the budget. You feel as if you're in a wonderful collaborative partnership with her where she is very open to ideas, suggestions and feedback but also uses her expertise and talent to guide the planning and finishing process. She's flexible, attentive, incredibly professional and reliable. She was able to calmly and kindly work with me on a fast, stressful timeline (due to an unexpected move in office space) and a restricted budget to transform a previously neglected office space with challenging space issues into a beautiful, healing space that my clients and I love. Megan is truly a pleasure to work with and a shining gem in her field. I give her my absolute highest recommendation for any design work you may need!!

We were robbed in Argentina as well as Paris so I leave my jewellery at home. One of the saleswomen said to me while in the sale section that this area was favoured bu customers. Insinuating that I couldn't afford anything. Well don't judge a book by its cover. I could have bought the entire store and 10 others and just so you know ladies. I don't work a lowly retail job, I travel the world, most of the textiles and home decor that Grace and adorn spaces in my home are from Europe.

Two months…read morein, the leather on one is stretched out and has lost its shape (parents are 160 and 120 pounds). The chairs also show difference in color. Chair that hasn't lost its shape is a brighter more vibrant blue much more pronounced in person. I understand that leather is a natural product, but these extremes are too much in nine weeks, and at almost $2500 each on sale they should look great for years to come. At Circle Furniture, Lisa at Customer Service not willing to do anything based on PHOTOS but refuses to come see the chairs in person. Maybe provide a return with a 40% restocking fee. My parents don't want to return the chairs. They have bought stressless chairs for years and have never experienced this issue. The chairs have been in the house for exactly 9 weeks. The least they could do is come out and inspect the chairs but Circle Furniture not willing. I would highly recommend going elsewhere. Customer service is stunningly lacking.

They were very thorough and had a lot of reference material we could look at to help us narrow in on our vision. Both Brad and Kendra asked us a lot of questions of what we were looking to achieve and through our input were able to come up with a final look we were absolutely thrilled with! They were very responsive and quick to follow up and came up with multiple alternate ideas when we were unsure about something. Overall we were most happy with the design and color choices that perfectly matched what we had pictured in the back of our minds. They are very flexible whether you're a person who love every minutia of choice or want to throw caution to the wind and let them use their imagination to come up with a design! We would strongly recommend them if you want a unique design or vision that has yet to be discovered!

We wandered into First Rugs and found Cynthia, who was tremendously helpful. After flipping through large piles of rugs, she had a sense of what we liked. Cynthia followed up with pictures of additional options, and then came to our house with a van full of rug options. Within an hour, we chose two rugs that we love and which bring a whole new vibrancy to our living room and dining room. Trying them out in our house made all the difference. The prices are fair, and the rug quality is fantastic. I honestly wish we had a few more rooms to decorate. Highly recommend.
