Client Testimonials

"Working with Mary and Tara is so much fun!

They took the time to get to know who we were, what we were looking for and identify our style. They understood that we have a big family and pets and took these factors into the design of the house, the furniture plan, pieces chosen and fabrics used. Also, my husband appreciates that his tastes and views were also incorporated and respected (although sometimes overruled by his wife)!

It was important to them that the house be livable and not a showcase. This is probably one of the most enjoyable features of the plan, we can comfortable use every room knowing it was designed as a living space and not a museum.

Another reason I always recommend Mary and Tara is because they never try and push items you don’t really need. They really try to incorporate what you already have and make simple changes to better a room rather than going into a full overhaul.

Mary and Tara don’t follow a cookie cutter plan. They take the time to incorporate your personality, personal effects and ideas to arrive at a home that truly reflects the inhabitants.

Mary and Tara have provided me with so many wonderful resources in the area. From expert tradesmen to artists, we would not have know where to turn if it had not been for Mary and Tara’s contacts and professional experience in the area.

We moved back into our house after living abroad for a year. Our furniture arrived two weeks before christmas and five days before guests arrived to stay with us for the holidays. In four days, Mary and Tara helped me unpack everything, arranged the furniture perfectly, had everything hanging on the walls AND decorated the house, tree and front door for the holidays."

"We couldn't be happier with the work Dennison and Dampier designers did for us. Our recent extensive and complicated renovation was relatively stress-free because they were there at every stage to help us make the best decisions.

Their tasteful and creative design ideas gave us options that fit our budget and lifestyle, with the result that our home is both beautiful and comfortable, and uniquely reflects our family's style and personality. We love our new home, and are very proud to share it with family and friends. Thanks, Tara and Mary!"
