Kara from Etobicoke, ON

We hired Kathy Quinn of Quin-teriors for a third project to help us with a basement renovation in our primary home. We wanted to create a tv/sitting area, separate kids play room and relocate our existing laundry room from the main floor to the basement. Kathy helped us create a floor plan, design concept, choose paint colours, carpet, cupboards, counter tops and flooring. She designed and sourced furniture for a playroom fit for two princesses and they love it! As always, Kathy coordinated with suppliers and installers, and worked in coordination with our contractor. She also helped us source someone to make custom slip covers for our sectional sofa without having to have the sofa removed from our home. We love our new space and working with Kathy. I'm sure project #4 is around the corner.

After purchasing a second home in Collingwood, we contacted Kathy Quinn of Quin-teriors who we had worked with on our home in Etobicoke three years ago. Kathy agreed to help us with our out of town project. We spent half a day with Kathy in our new home picking out paint colours for the whole house, designing a floor plan for the open concept living/dining/kitchen space and discussing and visualizing how we could make this our new home away from home. We discussed how we would use the space for entertaining friends and family and also to serve the needs of our young and growing family. With short timelines to ensure we could be moved in before Christmas, Kathy and I spent a day sourcing furniture and fabrics back home in the GTA. With all of the furniture purchased, Kathy also arranged for the delivery of all pieces up to Collingwood in one trip! Saving us a lot of headaches. We are all moved in and have enjoyed our first Christmas in our new home away from home. We thank Kathy for all of her advice and help along the way. We will work with Kathy again and again. Kara

At our first consultation meeting with Kathy, she helped us plan our renovation projects and visual furniture placement in rooms where a major wall would be knocked down and a doorway closed in. We left that meeting feeling like we were finally making some progress and with a designer hired! Over the next few months, Kathy took the time to listen to our needs and our likes and dislikes. It was actually surprising how quickly she was able to source furniture that met our exact taste. With the renovations underway and with a newborn baby in tow, Kathy and I headed out shopping. Kathy was extremely flexible to work around my schedule and to fit a lot of things into 3 hour time slots. She also sourced a lot of pieces and provided me pictures by e-mail to save time and the effort of traveling around the city. With Kathy's help, I have a house with paint colours that I love and well furnished rooms. She helped with everything from living room, kitchen and bedroom furniture, to rugs and lighting. She also designed a custom wall unit that we are so pleased with. I have already talked to Kathy about our next round of projects that I would like her help with. It was a pleasure working with Kathy of Quin-teriors.
