We hired Andrea to renovate the condo that we bought at downtown. She was recommended to us by one of her clients whose daughter was in the same class as my daughter. She managed the entire project for us, including planning, designing, hiring contractors, furnishing, etc. It has been a pleasure working with her. We truly appreciate her vision, taste, and style. The renovation turned out to be exactly what we have desired, functional, modern, and family friendly. We surely will enjoy living at downtown for the next a few years. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone who wants to have the best quality work done.Read More

Andrea recently helped us with the complete renovation of our second floor, as well as some updates to our first and third floors. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire process: assisting us with choosing tile, appliances, paint colours, etc. She has excellent taste and spatial awareness. We were given tips for what to do with our current furniture to make our small home look larger and of a higher quality. Andrea also liased with the contractor and other vendors so that we didn't have to continuously follow up and be present for every job that was being done. We could not have done this renovation without her! Thank you Andrea!Read More

We moved to Canada 2013 and bought our house a year after. As newly moved to Canada we were desperead for help, until we met Andrea. Our home was outdated in terms of painting, stairs, bathroom, and kitchen. With Andrea's creativity and professinlism the house turned out to be the warmth space. Andrea helped us in every step from purchasing furniture, light fixture, drapes, mattresses, to carpet and desks. She's trustworthy, passionate, honest and I can count on her. Soon will start our second project with her.Read More

I hired Andrea originally to help with choice of paint color for my home , as well as to help our home look more spacious . Andrea was SO much more . Our space is definitively tricky to work with , since it is an older home with awkward spaces and tight rooms , but within Andrea's first hour here , she worked her miracles . Her first step was to rearrange our existing furniture in an unbelievably spacious way , thinking ' out of the box ' . She then suggested different options in paint color , going on to gently suggest different lighting options that would make a huge difference in opening up our space and solve awkward looking spots .. Andrea understood and accommodated our different needs and showed us how to work within our budget , actually teaching me about where it was necessary to spend and where we would be able to save . The final results were a complete ( and fabulous ) makeover , versus what we had originally set out to do ... Her love of decorating , impeccable taste, compassionate and warm personality make for a very winning combination in interior design ! There is much more to be said , however suffice it to say that our daughter in the states is dreaming of paying Andrea to come help her with the design of a home that she will be building ! ( Andrea does not know about this yet ! ) This daughter is a professional photographer with an eye for detail and a large following , and she loves what Andrea has created for us ! If there was a six star rating , that would be Andrea ...Read More

Andrea and I worked on several projects together. Her approach is to understand and listen to the visions of her clients, and based on that to create beautiful spaces. Her experience and confidence allow her to make original and bold choices in her designs in a way that satisfies her clients. Andrea always considers the experienced opinions of the various trades she works with, in order to get the best results for the client. The end results are elegance and sophistication.

We have used Andrea for 2 projects now and in both cases have loved the finished product. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and ensured that she incorporated our tastes into the design. She has great contacts and suppliers from drapes, built ins, furniture and painting and we were able to rely on her to make recommendations based on her experience.
We had fun shopping with her for the things we needed and she saved us so much time, as she was able to zero in right away on what we needed.
Andrea is professional, honest, friendly and easy to get along with. Even our kids loved her!!
We would recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a designer and will use her again for our next project.Read More

Andrea and I have worked together for three years. Over this time, I’ve noted Andrea’s confidence when it comes to design. Mostly, she produces custom furniture for her clients and to me, that means she knows exactly what she’s looking for in a piece of furniture. I admire her eye for detail.
Over the years, I’ve found Andrea to set the bar high in terms of standards. I’m so pleased that our custom made furniture at Cabinet meets her expectations. She consistently delivers the best work to her clients. At Cabinet we are proud to be a part of that.Read More

Andrea Gray is without a doubt the best interior designer I have ever worked with. From the painting and light fixtures to the furniture and decorations, Andrea was there every step of the way. And she listens. Since I was on another continent while she transformed our condo, I had to rely on her for the whole project. I was not disappointed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent, honest, reliable decorator/designer.

I originally discovered Andrea on an internet site, listing Toronto’s top-10 designers. After having just purchased a 2+1 bedroom condo, I needed a designer to assist me with managing a small space. I had originally planned to hire a condo-design company but after speaking with her on the phone, we had such a wonderful chemistry that I instantly knew I couldn’t work with anyone else and hired her on the spot.
Moving from 2700 square feet to 1000 was a very difficult process and when I first moved in, I was nearly in tears. The kitchen was dark and dreary, and there were awful accent walls which had been painted charcoal making my new home feel even smaller than it already was. Moreover, none of the furniture I had owned previously would fit into such a small space. Andrea coordinated with me to get a feel for my personal taste and added all of her own touches. Together we brightened the entire place up, re-furnished it and had minor renovations done to make the place feel much larger.
I decided to pay Andrea for most of her services up front (although she did not require this), and it did not prevent her from spending the necessary time with me on the smaller items despite already having purchased the major furniture pieces and having received her fee. I can’t imagine there being any designer in Toronto that is of a higher caliber or better value than Andrea.
My 1000 square feet condo which had once felt so depressing is now the home I always dreamed of having. When guests come over, they constantly tell me that my place looks like it is straight out of a magazine and comment on what an amazing designer I had. I can’t help but agree. Andrea is truly one of the best out there.
As I have told Andrea, she is already re-hired for any future design work that I may need.Read More

My wife and I had recently purchased a house that needed some help.
Andrea came highly recommended and we were very happy to have her on board. The biggest change in our house was the removal of the kitchen wall and the installation of a new kitchen which opened up the main floor.
Andrea also helped us with purchasing of new furniture, drapes, window treatments, lighting and accessories. We are extremely happy with our house and have received many compliments.Read More

Being familiar with Andrea's designing style we had flown her to Winnipeg from Toronto. Downsizing to a 1800 sqare feet 1 bedroom open space condominium we knew would be a challenge for the best. In a short time Andrea separated furniture, etc.. from what stayed and what we gave away.She kept only what was needed or was beautiful. Everything looked new and fresh without buying much .She created functional "Vignetts" of entery, dinning and entertainment area office space etc..Flowing naturally with ease and elegance. In the kitchen and bathrooms she used 3 colors. Calm and stunning.
She suggested dark wood floor to our mostly off white sofas etc.. Recovered dinnig room and kitchen chairs with black upholstery so it went so well with larger group of dinning guests.
Anrea was efficient, professional, very creative being sensitive to our personal style.
We have never recieved so many compliments about our home, she made us proud.Read More

Our garden apartment home in Mexico is our peaceful refuge. We have the furniture and art that we like; however Andrea rearranged the same elements that we have had for years and added one mirror and lifted the vibe from merely good to fabulous. What a talent! What an eye!
She used the existing space and existing materials. For very little money Andrea created an esthetically pleasing and much more comfortable environment.
The space was opened up and refocused on the garden and ocean view. We moved art and sculpture, relocated a couch, planters and chandelier. It sounds simple, but the changes were profound.
Andrea was easy to work with and was focused entirely on us and our satisfaction.Read More
