"If I could give ten stars I would.
"Where to start.... I knew Vanessa's design sensibility was a match for mine from what I saw on her website, but even so, she surpassed any expectations I had. I cannot believe the transformation of my bedroom and bathroom. They are both exquisite - from the floor plan to the smallest detail to the fabulous unique wallpaper, it is absolutely perfection.
"All in all, I am over the moon. Vanessa has changed my life for the better from a functional point of view. But because of the beauty she has brought to my home, I feel like she has changed how I feel in my home, which is priceless.

"Working with Vanessa was a dream come true.
"We love our 1910 home and struggled to find a designer who shared our vision of maintaining the original character of the house while renovating the main floor... Vanessa did that and more! She was able to bring the original character to life with exceptional choices that truly showcase the best features of our home. The work that she did is not only beautiful but also gave us space that was updated and much more functional.
In addition to being the utmost professional, Vanessa is also very personable, down to earth and fun to work with. We really enjoyed working with her, we love our beautiful new space, and we will recommend her to everyone we know.

An Allegiance to Classic Details...
For close to a decade, Vanessa has been noted for her unique design aesthetic with projects featured in House & Home, Living Luxe, Home in Canada, and Pure Luxury. From century home renovations to custom new builds, Vanessa’s genius lies in her ability to evoke the essence of old world elegance and originality. A mix of old meets new. Intricate detailing. Gorgeous storytelling.
Vanessa will forever have an allegiance to the details.
Classic details - millwork, wallcoverings, antiques - they make her heart sing.
Project details - blueprints, schedules, spreadsheets - it’s how her brain operates.
When she isn’t pouring over the pages of design magazines, you will find Vanessa mapping out her next European adventure, planning a decadent dinner party, or sailing the Caribbean with her husband and two boys.
Before founding her full-service design firm, Vanessa spent over a decade working at top investment firms. Today, she brings the highest level of professionalism and communication to every project and to her discerning clientele.
