Our house was unorganized and full of clutter prior to hiring Home Stager Linda Stewart of Madison Lane Designs. Linda came in to our home and within a short period of time, she had completely transformed our home in to what appeared to be a very spacious, bright and tidy looking home. We even reconsidered selling our hour house since it looked so fantastic. As a result of Linda's expertise, we were able to sell our house within 3 weeks of listing at 98% of our asking price. We were especially delighted since this was during the month of February when the market tends to be slow. Needless to say, we have already booked Linda to come and help us re-design our new home!

I had originally hired Linda Stewart to do a colour consultation in my home. The colours she had chosen, once up on the wall, had completely transformed my home. The colours flow so nicely throughout. Linda also went above and beyond the colour consultation and had made some great suggestions regarding organization in my home and I was so impressed I hired her to help me organize and declutter my house. Wow, what a transformation. Thank you once again Linda. I highly recommend Linda. She was very professional and enjoyable to work with.

I have had the privilege of working with Linda Stewart in the last month. She performed a home staging consultation for my client. As a result of her suggestions, I feel that the home showed to it's full potentional and sold quickly and for just under my clients asking price. All involved with this transaction were very satisfied. I look forward to doing business with Linda again. Cheers.

Linda Stewart of Madison Lane Designs is a dedicated professional. Her focus on the task at hand allows me, as a Real Estate Sales Representative, to focus on my client's needs. Linda is easy to work with and she knows her stuff - so good in fact, that a client decided to stay where they were after Linda's recommendations were carried out! She makes herself available, returns calls quickly and goes that extra mile for her clients. My clients were very pleased with Linda's work and I would not hesitate to hire Linda again, either as a home stager or interior designer.

I had been trying to sell my house for almost a year. I had generated interest and even an offer but nothing I really felt met the value of the property. The finish of the house was modern, high quality but it was a bungalow with an unfinished basement. Many people that came through liked the house but wanted more space and were driven away by the asking price. It was clear to me that I needed a new approach to show potential buyers the full potential of the property. I called Linda Stewart at Madison Lane Designs. I initially only wanted her to come in and stage the main room, it was an open concept design with no dining room and many people had given the feedback that they, “did not know where to put their dining room table?” Linda agreed but also found that there were many simple ways to show potential buyers what they could do with the house. The end result was amazing it turned my bungalow bachelor pad into a sophisticated home. Brining in a more discerning clientele who appreciated the quality and enjoyed the flexibility the unfinished basement offered. Her ideas were great and resulted in my home being sold in less than 10 days after she finished staging it. I want to thank Linda and Madison Lane Design for their creative ideas, marketing advice and their professional and budget sensitive approach.

Dear Linda, I wanted to say THANK YOU for your help in selling our house. After being on the market for 9 months I called you in for a consult. You remained mindful of my budget and you spent lots of time choosing the perfect paint colours and accessories. You also made an effort to use stuff I already had in the house. Shortly after you finished staging our home we had an offer and sold. You have a great eye for detail and colour, and you are careful and passionate about your work. I would recommend your service to anyone who is having a hard time selling, or anyone who wants to re-decorate. THANKS AGAIN, Chantal Hoffman Chantal Hoffman & Family

My husband and I viewed a property that was for sale a little over a year ago. It was not a staged property. The listing expired and I am sure I know why. We loved the location and the layout of the house but something was missing. The house went on the market again this summer. We attended an open house and were shocked at the changes inside and out from paint, to landscaping and everything in between. We couldn't beleive we were in the same house. Needless to say we purchased it. We were so impressed with the changes that Madison Lane Designs had made to the house that we have hired particularly Linda to help us decorate for living. It is a work in progress but already we are just delighted at the great ideas and colour Linda Stewart has brought into our home. She has a real flare for decorating to live as well as to sell. We look forward to working with Linda until the house feels like home...our home. I would recommend her services to anyone buying or selling!!!

Dear Linda Stewart, This is a testimonial of our appreciation in using Madison Lane Designs. We are really glad and grateful that we followed the ideas that were given to us by you when staging our house. We are sure that it will work for anyone. You knew exactly how to organize each room and what colours to use through out our house, so that when people visited they could appreciate its full potential. The greatest proof that staging really works, is that it took only 48 to sell our house and we got more money then we expected. Again we recommend you to anyone and everyone we talk to about selling our house. We mention Madison Lane Designs. As soon as we are able, we are going to ask your professional advice on how to decorate our new home. Forever grateful, Linda Tessier, Marc A. Champagne
