Fine Finishes Design Inc

Andrea helped us to choose all the colours in our recently purchased four bedroom house. This was our first experience working with an Interior Designer and Andrea made the process very easy and fun. She ensured that the colours suit our tastes by asking us lots of questions. Andrea has a great eye for detail and had many great suggestions on the paint types, decor and how best to use the rooms. The colours flow very nicely in our open-plan house and there's no way that we could have chosen the colours by ourselves!

We found Andrea based on the Homestars reviews and we're really glad that we did. From our first phone call, Andrea was very friendly and professional. We are very happy with the results of our colour consultation and would highly recommend Andrea to anyone.

In two hours on an afternoon in July, 2003, Andrea was able to do what my husband and I were unable to do in 1½ years. She translated our style and desires for home décor into the perfect colours and faux finishes unique to each individual room of our house. It has been such a thrill to watch as our house has transformed into an expression of who we are as a family. We walk through every room in the house and know that each room has the exact colour and feel it was meant to have.

We have received countless compliments on our home’s new look from family and friends, and each time we tell them about our wonderful experience with Andrea and Fine Finishes. It has been a pleasure dealing with Andrea and she will always be welcome in our home.

Andrea definitely has a gift. She has helped to transform our house into a home. She is very responsive and extremely helpful. Her eye for colour and furnishings is very natural for her. She understands your budget and really looks at your personality before recommending anything. We would highly recommend Andrea to anyone. Many of our close friends and family have used Andrea and are extremely grateful for our recommendation.

The first project for our new home was to paint the entire place from top to bottom. If I had been left to my own devices to play it safe, I would have gone with "off white" throughout. Andrea helped us choose the right colours to make our furniture harmonize, she helped us take some dramatic steps (the dining room - WOW!) . . . honestly - everytime we walk into our home we have to pinch ourselves - it's hard to believe it's ours! We can't wait to take the next step with Andrea, furniture , art, lighting etc. She is a diplomat, a soldier, a magician . . . just plain talented through and through!!

Thanks!

We wanted to make some changes to our home and were looking for an interior designer. One of our friends highly recommended Andrea and after seeing what she had done we decided to call.

From the first telephone conversation I just knew we made the right decision.

During the first visit at our home Andrea really took the time to understand what we wanted to accomplish. She then went to work on a plan and presented us with a design which included our thoughts and her creative design suggestions. We were now very excited to put the plan in motion.

We had told Andrea about a bad contractor experience which made us reluctant to make major changes. Where do you find trusted professionals to do good quality work within a budget. With Andrea's help we found the right contractors

Throughout the process Andrea was at our home and was always available if we had any questions.

We were really impressed with the timely manner in which everything came together. The contractor completed the work on time and professionally. And we came in under budget.

Once the work was done we hosted a house party which we had rarely done and judging from the positive comments from our friends we achieved that "Wow" factor we were after. Our friends couldn't get over the transformation.

Andrea really cares and I just knew that it was important to her that we were happy with the result.

I can't say enough about Andrea's professionalism and ability to bring it all together. We would highly recommend Andrea.

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Andrea came into our home and turned it into a show place !!! She kept us focused, brought in tradesmen that were second to none and kept our prices down. We had estimates from other companies on different aspects of our renovation but they did not come close to Andrea. She is professional, understanding and seemed to know exactly what we were looking for even when we had trouble expressing it. We have reccomended her to friends and co-workers and would not hesitate to do so in the future.

Thanks again so much Andrea, we love it !!!

Andrea has been great to work with. She has a terrific eye for colour and in a two hour consultation helped us transform our home from bland to exactly the look that we have been wanting. The colour's flow perfectly as you move through the house. Her fees are very fair and she ensured that we got what we were looking for in a business-like manner but, all the while made the process fun. She is always as close as the telephone and we highly recommended her services.

Andrea chose new colours for our entire house as well as outside living area, did complete reno of family room re upholstered all fabric and many small touches which made a furniture seem new. We as well as friends and family cannot believe change seems like a new home, we are delighted! Andrea is an especially warm and wonderful decorator to work with, highly recommend her.

Andrea created a warm and welcoming home atmostphere with her colour choices. Our artwork and furniture have come alive. We recommended her services to our friends who were selling their house and they received thousands over the asking price.

Our department was updating some student meeting space in an area that was not very attractive (a basement). Working with a group of interested stakeholders, Andrea came up with creative (and budget-conscious!) ways to enhance the space and make it bright and functional. She listened to everyone and made recommendations that would met our needs. Although the space was challenging and our flooring selections very limited, she managed to pull together a perfect colour scheme. We'll definitely work with her again on future projects!
