Due to a fire I recently had to do a full renovation on my house. Not knowing where to start or how to coordinate anything, Marilyn McLaren walked me through everything from tiles, flooring, carpet, paint colours and more. The end product was amazing and she was sure to work within my budget. Highly recommend.
