After 5 years of slogging through basic repairs and upgrade projects (mainly walls, floors and drainage), we had finally brought our home to the point where it was ready for serious decorating. We had some word of mouth recommendations, but none sounded just right, and in the end, we selected Nanette based on the written comments here on the Home Stars site. We are very happy with this decision! After spending just a couple of hours with Nanette we now have a very clear picture of how our rooms will come together and come alive. We’re very pleased with the advice we received from Nanette about colour (which was our primary request) but also about lighting, furniture/furniture placement, accents, and window treatments. Now we are using the notes we took and the colour palettes we received from Nanette and we’re working one room at a time to bring the vision to life. So far we’ve completed just one room (the master bedroom) and we’re very happy with the result. Next will be the living room and dining room. We’ve picked up the accent tables already, and as soon as our decoration fund is flush we’ll pick up the paint and the rest of the materials, furniture and area rug. We’re really looking forward to this. We would highly recommend Nanette. She is incredibly skilled and intuitive, and she is a pleasure to work with.
