"As fate would have it, I was in desperate need of some help from a decorator, after having moved into a very large and newly built house that needed an injection of decor, charm and personality.The enormity of the task, as well as where and how to start was daunting. In addition, I simply did not have the kind of time necessary to do the job. Luckily, I did not have to do much research in finding someone to work with, because I met Felicia. She was the very first and only person I interviewed in person, and we simply cliqued. There was no need to look further, because Felicia possesses a level of professionalism, poise and warmth, which instills a complete sense of trust in her abilities as a decorator. As it turned out, my hunches were accurate. Felicia helped transform our house into a home, and with such grace and facility; I always looked forward to our visits together - it did not feel like work at all. Felicia's personality facilitated the entire process, and her ability to pin-point details with such precision and accuracy was fantastic. Even older pieces of furniture that were starting to look tired were given a new life and presence in our home, not to mention Felicia's knack at recommending wonderful upholstery fabrics, paint colours, accessories, always sensitive to budget as well. I can also comment only favourably towards any of the tradespeople she recommended. They were always pleasant to deal with, while accomplishing work that was first rate. I would highly recommend Felicia to anyone without hesitation. Just knowing her has enriched my life and beautified my home, and I'd like to thank her for being such a great listener as well. Felicia will pick up on subtleties in order to enhance anybody's home with their own needs and personality, but with her amazing taste as well. What a winning combination! Thank you Felicia!" Louise Harrison, Oakville We are extremely pleased with Felicia from The Expert Touch. She is very professional and has the best colour sense imaginable. She was able to work within the restrictions we imposed ( leaving all our woodwork unpainted) and the result is a room that more than suits our taste and lifestyle. She is very flexible and is willing to help as little or as much as you need. She provided us with Mike, her contractor, who is worth his weight in gold. We will continue to work with her as we redecorate the rest of our main floor. Anyone who calls her for help is very fortunate indeed. Carol and Gary, Mississauga Decorating our new house seemed like an overwhelming task to us. Fortunately, my sister recommended Felicia and our house is now starting to feel like a home. Our bedroom has turned into the relaxing oasis that we had imagined thanks to Felicia’s expertise. Felicia is a pleasure to work with, extremely organized, and efficient. We look forward to moving ahead with other design projects under her guidance knowing the finished project will exceed our expectations. Beth McConnell, Oakville My husband and I have used Felicia’s design services on a number of occasions and each time she has done a superb job. Her ideas and recommendations are exceptional. Felicia transforms every room she works on into a showpiece. She is very creative and has a keen eye for detail. She really takes the time to understand our style and what we are trying to achieve in a room. Felicia has recommended a number of tradespeople and they are all as wonderful as she. Felicia is amazing and we are so lucky to have her as our designer! Ann Marie McGovern, Oakville "Whilst respecting our personal tastes, Felicia, with her talent and experience, made us aware of new possibilities and choices. She helped us choose fabrics and arranged for re-upholstering to be done to our complete satisfaction". H&R, Burlington The house really needed some pizzazz.... something to tie everything together and give it some depth and interest. Felicia was great with suggestions and ideas that fit with our style and taste and added a wonderful 'finish" to the place. She also knows where to shop. We are very pleased with how she helped us complete the furnishings and accessorize to jazz the place up. Thanks to Felicia's expert touch our house has become a home we really enjoy. Jo-Anne Boyd I have only wonderful things to say about my experience working with Felicia. Felicia created exactly the type of living room that we were hoping for. She was efficient, organized, creative, resourceful and very pleasant to work with. She expects perfection from her contractors and they in turn produce beautiful work. She is only happy and satisfied when her client is happy and satisfied. Marlene, Oakville I love the colours you selected... I'm very happy with the results! I can't stop walking into the new bathroom and just staring at the results. Thanks so much! Erin Love, Burlington Thanks for all your help...we're really pleased with the room! Doug Wilson and Teresa Hardiment , Oakville I just wanted you to know that I went out on Monday afternoon and bought the paint colours you recommended for the kitchen/family room and bedrooms. I painted the kitchen wall behind the oven and WE LOVE IT!!!! I wasn't too sure about it, from the colour sample, but after the 2nd coat, I can't stop looking at it and smiling! Now I am totally motivated to paint the rest of the house. Thanks again, Kathy, Oakville We moved into a new home and didn't know where to start with the task of decorating. We'd heard of The Expert Touch, met with Felicia and immediately felt confident she could help. She had a wonderful way of asking lots of questions about our lifestyle, likes and dislikes which ultimately resulted in a blending of our taste with her impeccable sense of style. When the job was completed, we truly felt like we were living in an environment that reflected our personalities and not someone else's. The kids even got involved and they're delighted with the results too. Felicia is a God send! Sincerely, Richard Elliott, Oakville Thank you for all your excellent recommendations. We sold our house for $1,000 under our asking price. Thank you again for all your great recommendations. We felt they helped considerably and our real estate agent indicated that many people that viewed the home were impressed by how well the home showed. We are scheduled to move into our brand new home in April and will likely call you with regards to decorating tips. Sincerely, Alex and Michelle Susman, Oakville Our real estate agent, Jerry Bocchinfuso from Century 21 Miller Real Estate indicated when putting our home up for sale that he had reservations about the colours in our home since they were very bold, but that we should try it for 3 weeks and then reassess. Three weeks passed and 24 people visited our home and we received no bids. We realized at the time that something must be done. Jerry recommended The Expert Touch Interiors to give advice on what should be done in order to make the house more saleable. Within 1 day you visited our home and did a thorough assessment. By the end of that day you produced a 3 page list of suggestions for the sale of our home. My wife and I carefully reviewed the suggestions and took the house off the market for 9 days while the suggestions were implemented. We then put the house back on the market and had 4 visits that first day. Our agent called us that evening at 8:30 to inform us that an offer came in and that we should address it that evening. We accepted the offer and sold our home for 97.5% of the asking price. I cannot say with certainty that having the home redecorated was the absolute reason the house sold so quickly, but I do know that various visitors had previously remarked about the décor. Frankly the house looked marvelous when the redecorating was completed! At the time we were considering your proposal, we were also contemplating having to reduce the price by several thousand dollars. The cost of the redecorating was less than half of the contemplated price reduction! In conclusion, thank you very much for you recommendations, professionalism and tremendous support, including the visit to the carpet store within 2 hours of first visiting our home. Sincerely, Gary and Laurence Murphy, Oakville Well things are moving on, after having our house on the market for one week it has sold and I am sure I know who we owe the credit to … you … thank you for making our home beautiful. Dee and Martin Doble, Carlisle "We were fortunate to have been referred to Felicia while we were in the process of being transferred from Edmonton to Oakville. We spoke on the phone with Felicia about our hopes of giving our "new" 15 year old home in Oakville an updated look. After our first meeting with Felicia to discuss her ideas, we knew we had come to the right place. Through her suggestions of paint colors and techniques and the addition of the perfect accessories, our house has become a modern, warm and inviting home. Felicia has referred us to several trades people (painting, general contracting, window treatments) and all have been the most pleasant and professional people to work with. Felicia's ideas are innovative and endless. She is always professional, and you will be amazed at the quick response she gives you to any of your requests. We can hardly wait to work on our next project with Felicia, she is truly a pleasure to work with." Marian and Mike Herniak, Oakville "Moving to a house twice the size of our previous home was overwhelming, to say the least. The thought of furnishing and decorating our new home was becoming my worst nightmare. With our busy schedules, kids, etc., how was I ever to find the time to turn this house into a home? Hence my decision to call The Expert Touch Interiors. Felicia has turned my decorating apprehensions into a most pleasant experience. Her advice and choice of colours, fabrics and furnishings have been invaluable to me. Her professionalism, enthusiasm and attention to detail, as well as the little "extras" she provides are what I think sets Felicia apart from other interior design consultants. Felicia, I cannot thank you enough for the "expert touch" you provide in interior design. Lisa Marchese, Mississauga "My husband and I are very pleased with the work Felicia has done (and continues) to do in our home. The colours she chose for our whole main level added the character that we were looking for and the techniques and styles of paint complimented our furniture and accessories. Her approach is very professional and she takes the time to get to know her clients taste and style. She has a keen eye for accessorizing and does not hesitate to find that perfect piece. I have recommended her to a couple of friends who have also been very pleased with her work." Andrea and Paul MacDougall, Carlisle "I recently purchased a new home and wanted some expert advice in selecting cabinetry, tiles, etc. Felicia was recommended by a friend at work. I went onto "The Expert Touch" website and liked what I saw. The first time I met Felicia was at the builder's showroom. Right from the start I felt very comfortable with her as if I had known her for years. Her great sense of style and expertise were evident. Within two hours she helped me select everything for my new home. I am very pleased with the choices and can't wait to see them in my new home! I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Felicia!" Anna Bethanis, Markham "When I decided to sell my home my real estate agent asked Felicia to come to my home to suggest how I can improve on the appearance before I put it up for sale. After I had completed her suggestions I was tempted to take it off the market it looked so nice, but I didn't. Instead I asked her to help me decorate my condo which is now a work in progress. I highly recommend Felicia, as she listens to you and really works with you to accomplish what you want your home to look like when completed. She also has great tradespeople who do great work." Betty Morgan, Mississauga "My husband and I hired Felicia at The Expert Touch Interiors to decorate various rooms in our home. She is very professional and has a true passion for decorating. She also has a wonderful flair for putting together colours and textures. She helped me with not only colours schemes but adding that final touch to my rooms with great accessories. We have been extremely pleased with her work and have recommended her to our friends - all of whom have also been happy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for unique and creative decorating ideas!" Ursula & Mike Sammut, Burlington More Testimonials...
