In fact I thought it was a restaurant but was just as happy to see it will fulfill all my culinary needs. Apparently they have expanded into other items and have an entire loft area dedicated to delights of the bedroom and bathroom.....towels, sheets and such.

Kristy Palmer was recommended to me by an acquaintance and I am happy to recommend her to others…read more We had a big kitchen Reno done and Kristy's ideas were great. She works with top notch contractors - from plumbers to painters to tilers and others. She was very responsive to our many queries and always on top of the numerous details associated with our project. She was an expert in ensuring I was not overloaded with decisions- especially the myriad and constant small ones. She provided options she knew would appeal rather then overloading me with trivia or ones that wouldn't suit our Reno. I would recommend her both professionally and personally.

Homefront Ideas/Ms. Palmer's contract provided no detail and for this I have paid dearly. Ms…read more Palmer claims that I made changes to the plan. This is untrue. No changes were made to her cabinet maker's original drawings, which Ms. Palmer sent me a full week and a half before I signed her contract. The drawings clearly show crown molding, spice racks, and a panel at the end of the cabinet. When Ms. Palmer's right-hand man cut down the small portion of the pony wall attached to the narrow vertical wall in the kitchen, he did so without any care whatsoever. The wall was left bulging and crooked and therefore impossible to tile over. Ms. Palmer ignored this problem and had the quartz countertop installed without first correcting it. She left this portion of the wall completely unfinished. Ms. Palmer acknowledges that she always knew about the under cabinet puck lights. However, the upper cabinets were not constructed for this type of lighting and the required electrical work was not completed prior to the installation of the cabinetry. This happened in spite of the fact that all skilled contractors know that renovation work needs to take place in the proper order. As an example of Ms. Palmer's work, on the day my appliances were delivered it was discovered that the allotted space within the custom-built lower cabinetry was too narrow and the countertops were too low to accommodate the new slide-in stove. This should have been impossible given that Ms. Palmer and her cabinet maker had the stove specifications (standard 30" width and the height) long before the construction of the cabinetry ever began. Ms. Palmer's only defence to all these egregious mistakes is to make absurd allegations and to talk about her supposedly glowing business reputation. Unfortunately for Ms. Palmer I have a binder filled with proof (photographs, professional reports, etc) that refutes everything she has said. Homefront Ideas/Ms. Palmer botched the renovation to the point that I would not let her or her trades back into my home to cause further damage. Ms. Palmer/Homefront Ideas provided nothing close to the high end renovation that she promised. She failed on every level. The carpentry, cabinetry, plumbing and painting were completely inadequate. I ended up having to hire and pay actual professionals to try to fix her countless mistakes. It was a 2 year nightmare. Anyone considering hiring her should first check her BC civil court record. Hiring Homefront Ideas, trusting her was a huge mistake and I have to live with the incredibly unprofessional job she did.

Jon is the equivalent construction person. We got just what we wanted, on time, on budget (except for our changes) and admire the improvement every day.

Not only would we recommend, without reservation, for any remodel project but, for ourselves, we wouldn't use anyone else. GREAT job!!

There is a sign on the door that I roughly translated as "no laughing or other merrymaking allowed." Upon entering I was not greeted or acknowledged, but I was watched closely as I perused the offerings. I'd read the reviews indicating the hostile aura of the shop, but I was drawn in by the promise of eclectic offerings. If you're a foodie, I'd recommend checking it out. But you have been warned: you'll not be getting the warm and fuzzies from the "staff."
