Re-Vital-Eyes Interiors

Our experience with Margaret Olsthoorn of Re-Vital Eyes was nothing but positive. She was extremely easy to work with and a lot of fun. We were a little nervous with having a professional dictate what is in and what is not (after some previous bad experiences). However, it was so great having Margaret to consult with and plan our décor. Margaret considers your own personal tastes and styles and really just directs you “in the right direction”. Our new home is very open concept compared to our last house and was a challenge finding enough walls and spaces for our stuff. Margaret inspired us to try new colours and styles and worked with our existing furniture as well. We did buy some new pieces to complete the transformation. She also taught us how to use chalk paint to refurbish pieces that were dated and destined for the trash. Margaret thought of every detail as well from storage solutions (closet organizing/shelving was absent from our new home), bedding, area rugs, funky light fixtures and décor to finalize every room. We were exposed to a whole new world of designer stores and warehouses which was such a fun adventure to shop with her. Our new home is truly our haven. It has rustic elegance which we are grateful for a superior build but it has definitely been made perfect with all of Margaret’s touches. Everything functions well, is the right scale for the space, and gives our home such warmth and such an inviting feel from comfy seating, a beautiful rustic harvest table and all the accent pieces as well. Ultimately, she gave us the tools to create and explore. We look forward to continue to work with Margaret for our outdoor living space as well. We highly recommend Margaret to anyone wanting to just decorate or totally recreate their home and living spaces.

We are absolutely thrilled with the work that Margaret did! We knew in a very vague way what we hoped our bedroom would look like, but Margaret got a great sense of our style, budget and needs and created a perfect space!! We love it and highly recommend her for her professionalism and great sense of style!! Thank you. Tracey and Henry.

Margaret was very professional and a joy to work with. She helped me design the kitchen and was very good at helping me incorporate all the things I wanted in a new kitchen. Once we had decided on a design, we worked with various contractors to complete the job and I had a worry-free experience as she dealt with everyone. Overall I am very pleased with our new kitchen.

I contracted Re-Vital-Eyes (Maraget) to bring to life an idea I had to make our pool storage shed in to a bright, fun living space to be enjoyed by both guests and ourselves throughout the summer. After only a few pictures from a variety of sites and magazines, Margaret produced a design video that was perfect, incorporating everything I had been thinking adding her design ideas and colour blending that took the "shed" to a beautiful and just perfect level. It was on time and on budget and she was more that "on-call" for consultation, quick store trips, question, concerns and follow-up. She is so fun and positive and enjoys the finished project as much as we do. She is creative and easy to work with and becomes a friend before the job is done. Other areas of our home have been touched by her creative designs and beautiful colour blending. Highly Recommend Re-Vital-Eyes and Maragaret!!!

In keeping with an historic allure of a Georgian home built in the 1840s but wanting to include a contemporary personal touch, designer Margaret Olsthoorn with Re-Vital Eyes Interiors had the vision and expertise to make it happen. Through email, we shared many photos of property and our decorating tastes with Margaret. She presented us with great options in fabric and texture and colour combinations. Our physical distance of 1300 km (St. Andrews, New Brunswick to Guelph, Ontario) was transparent in the service and connection Re-Vital Eyes Interiors offered us. When friends enter our home, they respond with “wow”. Thanks Margaret!

Working with residential condominiums can be challenging. Design and quality have to take many considerations into account. Durability, high traffic, design appealing to many tastes and maintenance to name but a few. Combine these considerations with the challenge of keeping the appeal of a "home", with the warmth and welcome expected in any residence and it becomes easy to understand how signficant the successful completion of a design project is. I have had the pleasure of using and working with Re-Vital-Eyes Interiors on three major projects and now begun on our fourth. Although all have been well recieved and positively commented on, the complete reno of a party room is what has really stood out. We have received many many positive comments, from residents, guests, real estate agents and their clients on the appearance and design of the room. This significant project proceeded on schedule, professionally and on budget and has without a doubt helped in increasing the marketability and value of our 344 suites. A great service to our condo owners! Peter M. Rosa, RCM Property Manager Brookfield Residential Services Ltd.
