Many of us find it hard to visualize what the final product will look like, whether it is just one room being redecorated or many of them. After many months of picking out furniture, paint colors, draperies, lighting and swatches all with your guidance we arrive at the final style day, which is where it all comes together.

On the final style day Jennifer and her team of busy bees pulled it all together so that when my husband and I walked back into our home (I strongly recommend that you not be in the home on the final style day) it looked fabulous, right out of a magazine and with all of the accessories added.

the best part was it reflected our tastes and personalities.

Our home was completely transformed and the best part was that it reflected our tastes and personalities.

Doing a remodel job is never easy, but there is no substitute for a great designer with a great team behind her. We send you our heartfelt thanks for the great work you and your team have done and we look forward to working with you on the rest of our home.

Challenges The space was dark without defined areas to denote the kitchen/dining and family room. Priorities were impact, colour, and class.

Challenges The Lighting was poor, wanted a calm and serene place to retreat to after a hard day, TV was a must.

Solutions Eliminated formal dining area, treated rooms as one great space with two areas, Painted a focal wall in a calm gray/blue.

Our new space is providing me with an ideal place to feed my value of connection to others. I have had my mother and 3 friends over for tea in the last 2 weeks. I love sitting in our family/living room, the space is peaceful, pretty and inviting. Jason and I have also spent many hours chatting, sitting on our sofa together. We agonized over investing the money in this project and I can say that the end result was worth the investment. For the first time in almost 5 years I am happy to be in my home and to invite people over and not worry if they are comfortable. Relief!

It has been a pleasure working with Jen and her team over the past two years as our home was transformed into a place of beauty and comfort. Jen's inspiration and guidance helped us achieve new limits in design and decor. The greatest strengths that Jen brings to her projects include:

  • an ability to envision a room/home in it's entirety
  • then guide her clients towards a shared vision
  • her unwaivering passion for detail & excellence
  • her keen sense of colour, pattern & texture, and
  • the wealth of experience/resources she can provide to ensure the job gets done (painters & artisans, artwork, styling elements, etc.)
We would highly recommend Jen and her team; with Jen you get a wonderful, talented partner who will strive to meet your every need!

Solutions We have reconfigured the space in its entirety, removing the previous closet & adding a wall to partition the bedroom to increase closet size. We removed the original corner fireplace & replaced with a wall to wall custom configuration. The ensuite has heated floors. A corner shower has now transformed into a glorious shower for two. The toilet was moved to the corner. A new Naos, air jet bath sets the tone for the room. The dark vanity helps anchor the space & merge ensuite and master into a simply to die for sanctuary!! Love it! Love it! Love it!

At the 2009 Interior Design Show, Grand Marnier invited four designers to develop rooms inspired by the iconic Grand Marnier bottle. Collectively, these rooms formed the Red Lounge where visitors could socialize, sample cocktails and vote on their favourite space. It came as no surprise that the most sensational space was designed by Jennifer Brouwer, who emerged as the final winner!

The red room that had others green with envy was entitled 'Senses', as Jennifer envisioned it embodying warmth & luxury; the hallmarks of the Grand Marnier brand.

In the likeness of our own five senses that have form and functionality, textures, colours and scents offered maximum appeal in an elegant, eye-popping fashion.

fantastic room - impressive, stylish & showed your passion!
