My husband and I recently purchased a 3 level 4,700 square feet home which required a complete and utter make over including demolition of existing flooring, fire places, appliances, vanities, walls and ceilings.
After demolition, the daunting task of building our dream home from scratch set in; We knew that we were in need of some expert design advice in the pre and post construction stages. Having interviewed a number of top interior designers in the City, we were lucky to find Andrea Gray, who stood out from the rest. Her immaculate vision and sense of style was evident the first moment we met her. Andrea was patient in taking the time to truly understand and incorporate our needs and lifestyle within each of her design recommendations, room by room, without exception. She walked us through every step of the way including:
Pre construction
- full kitchen and 5 bathroom design and layout including selection of all vanities to the placement of individual towel holders
- choice of flooring throughout the entire house
- ceiling pot lights layout in the kitchen, basement and dining room
- wall and floor color selection
- 1,500 square foot deck design
Post construction
- Extensive furniture selection throughout the house and layout giving special charm to each room
- Full light fixtures selections throughout the house
- Area rug selection for our dining room and basement
Needless to say, we were thrilled with the end product. Andrea was more than just a designer, she was at times a project manager, a mentor and a friend during a very long process. We were especially pleased with her loyalty and level of dedication, never once leaving our side. She was thorough, spent the necessary time to ensure that we were comfortable with all of the choices made. Our experience with Andrea was fantastic and we are very confident to say that anyone seeking a true professional designer with a customized approach will find her a gem to work with.
