Read the full testemony from the Cornerstone Association of Realtors 🌿:
"We purchased a two-story building in 1990, that was originally designed with the lower level as a parking garage. In the early 1990s, we renovated the lower-level space to include a print department, store, and meeting space, with further interior upgrades completed in 1997.
In 2022, we engaged Terence Webster Design to modernize the space, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! From our first meeting with Terry and Charissa, we were immediately impressed by their expertise and meticulous attention to detail. The 3D renderings were essential, allowing us to visualize the incredible potential of the area. It was hard to believe that such an outdated area could be transformed into such a stunning and functional environment.
Communication throughout the project was excellent, and we received regular updates on progress. The renovation process caused minimal disruption to our staff. Although there were some delays with material shipments as the country was just returning to business post-COVID, we were always kept informed about updated timelines.
Since the renovations were completed, members and meeting attendees have commented on how remarkable the transformation is. We are incredibly proud of our new space!
I wholeheartedly recommend Terence Webster Design for any future creative opportunities. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication truly set them apart!"

Loving our new Fjord chairs from Artopex! 🧡
Somethings as simple as some chairs and a pop of colour can truly make a space feel complete. (And a stunning feature light!💡)

Here's a throwback to our work on The Agency at Mohawk College!
This is one of many projects we've completed with the college in the past 30+ years. The custom circular seating area and the red accented Perillo chairs are staples in the space and bring a bright and cheerful feeling to the environment! We hope students and staff can enjoy the space for years to come.
