We first met Gail Smith when we were selling our house. Christine Hauschild sent her over to help us get our home sell ready. We weren't sure what to expect, but we quickly learned what all the fuss was about. Gail instantly put us at ease by helping us organize our existing furniture and belongings and gave us creative ideas that truly warmed our rooms and gave our home the finishing touch it deserved. With Gail's assistance, our house looked more beautiful than ever and sold in just 6 days. In addition to her fabulous personality, Gail has a tremendous collaborative style. She doesn't overwhelm. She listens. She is not one of those decorators who want to put their own mark on the home. Gail's talents impressed us so much, my husband and I hired her to help us decorate and organize our new home! We are still following up with several of her decorating suggestions, but our new home is on its way to being pulled together and reflective of our taste and lifestyle - Gail really is a pro!

Gail transformed our living room into a space that everyone wants to be in (including our cat). Our friends have commented on how warm and inviting the room is and they love the colours. I was very impressed on how Gail could use some of our present furniture, introduce some new pieces and have it look so great. Gail listened to what we wanted and delivered what we asked for. I can’t wait to have Gail back to do the next room. Thanks so much.

Our house had a minimal amount of furniture but Gail added some pieces, decorative touches and it looked warm and inviting. It sold in four days. Gail was totally professional, listened to the fact we needed to live in our house as well as having it up for sale and helped us do it all. We are so thankful to her.

Jeff and I have had many opportunities to work with Gail over the last few years. She staged both of our homes before we sold them and we were both in such awe of the tremendous effect of the small changes she suggested that we were sad to sell our homes. In our new home, we decided to create a space that we loved just for us, not for the future buyer as we did when we staged our places. Gail helped us create the zen-calm interior that we so desired and we are thrilled with the results. Beyond a good eye and excellent taste, Gail includes common sense and practicality in her advice which is a wonderful gift. When we staged our homes, we did not have to buy $1000's of new props, she worked with what we had. A nice serving plate, a candle and some river rocks created an attractive, inexpensive centerpiece for the table. We have recommended Gail to many friends who have been thrilled with the
impact that her advice has had on their homes too.

This is a short note but a big thank you for your help in staging our home for resale. I was really impressed by the way you were able to use the accessories we had stored in the basement to fill in the corners to warm up the house. You have a very good eye for detail and you were able to take our house from good to great and help us sell quickly. Thank you for creating the modern centerpiece for our dining room table too!

In preparation for selling our home in Emerald March Estates, we were referred to Gail by a real-estate agent. Gail offered suggestions to make our home warmer and more inviting. We followed her straight forward advice which included furniture placement and paint colours. We were amazed at how wonderful the result was. The house sold in two days.
We were so pleased with Gail’s work and easy manner that we asked her to help with the decorating of our new home. Gail provided advice on choices of tile, light fixtures and paint colours. We are absolutely delighted with the result. We have received many compliments on her work as well. Jane and I highly recommend Gail and would without hesitation call for her help again.
