Ainsley is amazing to work with! I hired Ainsley to re-design my condo which included a complete kitchen and bath renovation, new floors and paint throughout, custom built-ins in the living room and then finishing touches including furniture, lighting and accessories throughout. Ainsley created a beautiful and functional space and managed to make the process stress free. She is very organized and hardworking and always meets deadlines – a true professional. I look forward to working with her on my next project and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

We hired Ainsley to design our living room, dining room and front hall. Having recently bought a new larger home we had some furniture that worked and we needed to invest in some new pieces. In the past my husband and I had a lot of difficulty choosing pieces together as we have differing styles. Ainsley has an amazing talent for pulling things together and getting us on the same page. She was patient and gave great advice. She was able to work with my grandmother’s chairs and make them into something we both love. She also reinvented our old sideboard that was too small for our new dining room turning it into a very sleek bar. She took an awkward space and turned it into my favourite part of the house by creating a reading nook that could be used for extra seating when we host parties. I love that the design incorporates so many meaningful things to us and it all fits so beautifully together. It was such a lovely and exciting process working with Ainsley and watching it all come together - I’m almost sad that we are done! We recently hosted a brunch for our neighbours and two of them contacted Ainsley right away after seeing what she did to our space. We are so proud of what Ainsley accomplished.

I hired Ainsley to decorate my condo from top to bottom after getting rid of virtually everything I owned in my previous home. It was a fabulous experience all around. She totally understood what I was going for, came with great ideas, energy and professionalism, and I just couldn’t be happier with the result! I highly recommend Ainsley!

With four young kids, decorating and completing house projects were always on our ‘to do’ list but never competed. So we hired Ainsley to help us design and decorate several rooms, including the master bedroom, dining and living rooms and even our outdoor spaces. Most recently we hired Ainsley to help us transform our unused living room into a multi-functional space appropriate for our busy family. Although we no longer have a formal living room we now have a space that serves many functions including homework room, lounge and TV watching area, complete with tons of storage. It was exactly what we needed. My husband and I were nervous about getting rid of our living room but Ainsley made the room so beautiful and functional that we don't miss our living room at all! We were totally shocked and completely thrilled with the transformation, as is everyone else who now sees our ’new’ room. From initial consultation to finishing touches Ainsley was very thorough, detail-oriented and organized. When planning our space and selecting fixtures and furniture, she asked questions and made observations that we would never have considered ourselves. She ensured custom built-ins were designed thoughtfully and all the furniture was multi–functional and made with hard-wearing materials. Ainsley made the process simple, bringing everything to us. Ainsley has a great network of suppliers and trades. The trades she recommended were outstanding: professionally skilled, friendly and most of all reliable. Ainsley transformed a previously unused room into the most used and favourite space in the house! The kids love it and we absolutely love it too!

We were so excited with the positive atmosphere which Ainsley created for our old farm house in Niagara. Our home was built in 1820 and has incredible character. However, we were concerned that updates would take away from its rustic comfortable feel. We were delighted to work with Ainsley as she helped us to achieve exactly what we had dreamed!! She redesigned our main living space, taking two separate rooms (kitchen and dining room) and creating one great room. She designed a beautiful window seat and a granite peninsula which were custom built using reclaimed wood. The colour scheme was modified throughout our home to blend with our changes and to capture the ambiance of a century home yet added the freshness we wanted.
We wanted to be involved in the process and do some of the legwork ourselves. Ainsley worked so well with us and was very professional, providing us with a lovely package that laid out her concepts for the updates. The plan was incredibly detailed and included floor plans, recommended choices for paint colours, stone countertop, backsplash, faucets, furniture, drapery and even the appropriate lamp and rug! We were so impressed to see our ideas turned into a plan that we could visualize. We were happy to carry out the recommendations within our suggested budget. We just love our new space!!!
