When my husband and I decided to repaint our upstairs rooms and main floor, I agonized over the thought of selecting paint colours! Our lives are busy so we wanted to get it right the first time. I invited Karen Gaudun to our home and in one visit Karen was able to select colours for all the rooms. Karen considered our existing colour schemes of furniture and accent pieces and selected paint colours in the latest trends to complement our space and update the look. Karen effortlessly provided suggestions of how to further update the look of our home with ideas for mirrors and lighting, as well suggested how we could paint and recover a few furniture pieces. Thanks to Karen, we are very pleased with the results; the colours are modern and blend together nicely from room to room. My husband and I are continuing with the updating of our home and called Karen back to help us select paint colours for the outside of our home. Karen provided colour selections that will enhance our existing stone and shingles. It was a pleasure to work with Karen; she involves her clients in the decision-making process. Karen is personable and attentive to my decorating goals.

When I met you at the local Benjamin Moore at Maple Mews plaza I was looking for some help in picking a few paint colours for my home. I was quite ambitious but needed a lot of guidance in going forward. I was going to do all the painting myself. You were there every step of the way and when I learned that you were also an interior designer it was a win-win. Not only did you help with paint colours but also picking out furniture pieces and carpet choices. You were always encouraging and the best piece of advice that you gave me was to paint my fireplace. I was not sure about it but you convinced me and it made the rest of the room come together. You sent me many YouTube videos to give me the confidence to know I could do it on my own.
I would highly recommend your services to others. Your friendly and caring personality made working with you a joy. I looked forward to our meetings. You always took into consideration cost and helped me find my style. I have had many compliments on the completed project.

From the store, you had given us great colour suggestions for a couple of rooms in our house. When we were ready to repaint our kitchen, we invited you over. You diligently and thoughtfully spent two hours with us and recommended a colour to paint the cupboards, a complementary colour for the walls and a colour for the ceilings and all trim. You also recommended we carry the second colour and trim colour through the rest of the house. You wrote everything down in great detail, including six steps to painting the cupboards.
We've just completed the project ourselves and are thrilled with the results! The colours go well with the other elements in the kitchen, our hardwood, tile, furniture and carpeting up the stairs. Family and friends have all marveled at the transformation. Many have said, "It looks so modern!" including our 12-year-old granddaughter from Ottawa who only saw the change on video. We highly-recommend your excellent services to others.

When my office was flooded I was completely overwhelmed with anxiety over the renovations. Karen was a godsend! I had previously hired an interior decorator and she suggested colours from one very old colour pallet. Something in me knew there had to be other options.
When I decided to consult with Karen I finally felt a sense of calm. She was extremely meticulous in considering every colour option from a large range of choices. I trusted her recommendations and I love it! My patients are raving about my new office.
THANK YOU KAREN!!!
