“We cannot recommend Carolyn enough! She helped us renovate our new home and has amazing taste and vision. She understood us and was able to create something unique and in the style we had envisioned. We loved everything she selected. She has elevated our home to a level that we could not have achieved ourselves. She’s well worth every penny! And the cherry on top is that she is the nicest person and was a joy to work with.”

“I recently purchased a new condo and enlisted the help of Ponder Design to furnish it. Carolyn intuitively understood what I was looking for and really nailed my personal style and aesthetic down to every detail. She had me think outside of my comfort zone and convinced me to incorporate colours and finishes that I would have never thought of myself – I am so happy I trusted her judgment as it turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined! I’m so impressed with the quality of work and how it all came together. The contractors that Carolyn recommended were all fantastic and she managed every part of the process to make my life easier – both coordinating the contractors and managing the deliveries, all while keeping me updated along the way. Carolyn is incredibly talented and she is so passionate about creating a space that you are excited about. I feel like I can’t make a design decision without her now! I cannot recommend her enough!”

“We hired Carolyn to design our dining room, powder room and on an ongoing consulting basis during our year-long home renovation. Having her support, guidance and skill throughout this process was invaluable. There are so many decisions that need to be made and having her help us to select things like tiles, paint colours, cabinet stain, flooring, lighting etc. saved us so much time and left us feeling great about the final look and feel of our home. Her work is amazing. We are incredibly grateful for her efforts and her ability to create such beautiful spaces in our home. There are a few more rooms left to tackle in the future, and we would love to work with her again. Thank you SO MUCH Carolyn!”

Carolyn took my vision for our office and turned it into a space I could have only dreamed of. Her team was meticulous when it came to move-in day, ensuring the details were done with perfection. As a busy entrepreneur I didn't have time to take care of all the details and Carolyn made the process so simple. My staff are so excited to come to work everyday because of how inspiring our new space is. I highly recommend hiring her for your next project”

“We hired Carolyn to help with the design of our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Working with Carolyn was a pleasure from our very first conversation to witnessing her vision come to life. I had never imagined our basement could look so stylish; it has become our favourite spot to hang out, and all our guests rave about the design. Carolyn is so talented, and we would certainly use her services in the future!”

“I came to Carolyn with a stark, awkwardly-shaped living room that I didn't think had any hope. After our consultation session, I felt empowered and excited to take on the project to bring the space to life! Carolyn developed a floorplan and expertly hand-picked every item for the room from paint to plants. I cannot wait to start bringing the pieces into the room to create the cozy vibes I was after. Easily a 5-star experience.”

“Carolyn designed our dream nursery for our soon to be little girl. She was professional, efficient, organized and shared so many creative ideas. Having Carolyn design the nursery took a big item off our plate in a super busy time and we would highly recommend her in any of your design projects. We can’t wait to use Carolyn for our next project!

“I am SO happy that I enlisted the services of a designer to update my kitchen. Carolyn made it seem almost effortless. She presented her design considering my needs and wants, while also being mindful of the living and dining rooms in my open concept main floor. And then, VOILA! Her design came to life, and I love the result! My kitchen feels larger, and I’ve had SO many compliments. Additionally, all her recommended contractors were easy to work with. Thank you, Carolyn.”
