"We were delighted with Jacklynn's assistance in 2015. We had a granite countertop and finding the right backsplash seemed an impossible task, but she found the perfect glass tile. So upon moving to Ottawa this year, we turned to her again, using pictures, email, pinterest etc to pick out all the tiles, paint and lighting for our bathrooms along with design help for our living room. Jacklynn has a great sense of colour and style, and most importantly she listens to the client rather than imposing her own views."
