Eva-Maria and Paul O'Sullivan

I am delighted to provide a description of the wonderful work Tonia and her team completed in our home. Our bungalow in the Scarborough Bluffs on a picturesque street is in good shape, but had some hard features, which we found very unsightly. The living room was dominated by an unattractive grey brick fireplace and the hall closet contained a bulky, outdated sliding mirror door. We were eager to update the main floor but felt at a loss as to how to tackle the problem. Professional advice was needed.

Tonia brought her keen eve for colour and scale, as well as her many talents to this challenging task and, along with an excellent support team, designed a fireplace reconstruction, which completely transformed the look and feel of the entire living and dining area. The grey brick fireplace and hearth were dismantled and the hardwood floor was skillfully restored. Tonia transformed the living room by designing a white fireplace, including an ivory-coloured marble accent and a graceful mantlepiece.

A re-arrangement of the furniture layout and pictures, along with a fresh coat of designer paint created a soft, elegant, and bright look, allowing for maximum window views and focal points. The heavy glass sliding door was replaced by a white French door featuring a gorgeous lace curtain. The cracked tiles at the front door were replaced by a subtle pattern of natural stone tiles. Instead of opting for the significant expense of purchasing and installing four old doors in the hallway, Tonia recommended simply painting the doors white and applying new hinges and brushed nickel knobs. The doors look great!

We are thrilled with the results of Tonia Vuolo's design and are enjoying our living space so much more now. Throughout the process, it was a pleasure to communicate with Tonia and her team. At all times, we were completely comfortable with the decisions based on her unfailing taste and style. Tonia's design approach effectively combines aesthetics and practicality. As an interior designer, Tonia is passionate about her work and no effort is too great for her. She has an instant vision of how to make a space more appealing and attends to every minute detail with care and creativity. Her customer relationship is impeccable.

We thank Tonia and her team for making our home more beautiful and are already looking forward to the next project!

Tonia and her team pulled off a miracle

In 9 days Tonia designed and executed a beautiful bedroom complete with built in closet, as well as a beautiful pantry and an exercise space.

She handled all the details, made sure everything was of the highest quality and was a lot of fun to work with. I can't wait to get going on a new project, thank you Tonia!

Bart Catania, Real Estate Broker and Ruth Roduck, Executive secretary

After too many years of spending our daily work hours in your typical, white, Real Estate office we decided to spruce up our world with a little decoration, but felt that we required some help.

We asked around and the name Tonia Vuolo kept popping up. Tonia transformed our work-day world into an oasis of subtle colour and with the tasteful use of our furniture, together with some exquisite additions created an atmosphere of serenity.

Without reservation we would highly recommend Tonia Vuolo Designs.

Barb Griesdale

I have known Tonia as a friend for 12 years and during this time I was amazed by her vision and her creativity. I jumped at the opportunity to ask Tonia to work on my home and because I am not creative I asked her and her amazing team to take total control. For most of the renovation I was not even in town, but Tonia's attention To detail and her meticulous approach to every aspect resulted in a home that is far more beautiful than I could ever have imagined.

Now, a year and a half after Tonia has finished her work I still love my new home. It has been transformed into a beautiful, tranquil place In which I can totally relax, a home that I am proud to show my friends.

I don't know quite how to thank Tonia and her colleagues for this

wonderful gift.
