Testimonials:

Pat, you made so many changes to my home that I didn’t recognize it.  And it all worked because my house sold quickly.  Houses in my area that were on the market before mine are still for sale.  Thank you for all your help.

Mark, Thornhill

Thank you ever so much for your help and suggestions. I made the changes in the living  and dining room you recommended. Painting the bathroom a lighter grey really did brighten it up.Thanks for helping me find the right new furniture pieces for the bathroom that I will take with me to my new home.  There's much more storage now and it looks so much better.

Roger, Toronto
“I love having my living room all pulled together.  The new carpet and couch look fantastic and so do the chairs you had redone.  Everything looks great, it’s calm and grounded.  It is so terrific to come home to.”

“Thank you so much for all your help with my new condo.

It seemed insurmountable before you made it seem so easy.”

Diane, Port Elgin

"Thank you Pat for everything you did to get our house ready for us to move into. There was a lot to do in just a couple of months - floors to redo, the whole house to paint, window treatments and new light fixtures; and you made sure that everything was ready. It wouldn't have all happened without you and we are thrilled with the results."

C. Clarke, Southampton
"Pat, it has been wonderful to have your help making all the decisions for my new condo. There were so many choices of materials and finishes and you helped me pick new products that are wonderful in my home.

The new art and furniture pieces that you have found are just right."

Shirley M., Southampton
"The stair runner that you helped me choose looks fantastic. It makes the stairway much warmer, quieter and there are no more splinters and the small area rug in the entrance way is just the finishing touch we needed for that room. Also, I love that the carpets are 100% wool and made in the first world. Cheers!"

"Pat's recommendations for changes to my home were easy for me to do and I was ready to list my house quickly. Pat recommended moving large pieces of furniture to another room which dramatically improved the space. Pat also worked with me to sort through clutter that was very distracting to potential buyers."

Trish Hanson, Pickering
"I am so glad to have had Pat work with me to select cabinetry, finishes, and colours for our new home. Our rooms have gone from builder's beige to a fresh and warm palette. We are enjoying the changes and the living room is my favourite!"

M. J. Scott, Oakville
"Pat, thank you for all your help in staging our home. The changes you made in two hours helped us see the potential of our home. We continued the work you advised us to do, and we sold within 10 days."

Make the Most of Your Home

We will work with you to make changes to the design and function of your living space to make you happy and is the home that you want.

How we use the space in our homes and what makes us happy will change with time.  Your furniture layout and accessories may need attention so that you can enjoy the space again. Rooms can change their purpose, such as a bedroom can be a home office or project room after children have moved out. Walls may be removed or changed to enlarge and improve your living space and that can lead to changes in colour, furniture, layout, lighting, artwork and accessories.

altMaking decisons about what should stay and letting go of treasures are big decisions.  We can help you through this process.  Finding a new purpose for items in your home is cost effective and often a surprise.  Many clients request help with paring down items that family members have no interest in and these items are simply being stored in your home. 

We will work with your budget to make the changes. We work with upholsterers, furniture refinishers, carpenters, handyman, painters and retailers and will see your project completed to your satisfaction.

I have consulted with clients that required a consultation and recommendation and they were able to make the changes for themselves.  Many clients request our involvement throughout the process to manage all of the aspects of the design and completion of the project.

 Home Definition worked with a client who purchased a new condo and wanted help choosing all interior finishes including flooring, cabinetry, tile & paint colours.  The client  had room in her budget to update some furnishings to fit her new space. She is thrilled with the her new home. The real estate agent selling the units has taken prospective buyers through her "model" condo to showcase the possibilities for their future home.

The transition to condo living can be a challenge.  The living space available is a different scale and many items you have may not work in the space. alt

The transition from a traditional home to an open floor plan condo is a lifestyle change.  Planning the layout of furniture and being sure that you have the right pieces for your new home will simplify your move.We have clients that we have advised on how to pare down their items to make their condo move liveable and enjoyable.  We also have clients who have moved into their new home with too many items and need help to quickly deal with the excess.
