Tracy's recommendations were very practical, beautiful, and cost effective. Our rooms are now far more functional in terms of layout and design, and they are also more warm, relaxing, and inviting. Tracy was very open to working with our existing furniture which really helped us to spend our design dollars in the most efficient way possible. She guided me through the design process so that I had input the whole way, but with the right amount of guidance from her so that I could benefit from her expertise.
I feel that the rooms we created are ultimately my own and reflect my own sense of personal taste and style while being expertly pulled together, Tracy was also open and upfront about any of my ideas that would not work so well, which prevented me from making costly design mistakes. She was very good at explaining how different concepts would work, so that I felt comfortable taking the plunge to try something new with beautiful results.
Tracy was wonderful to work with and I look forward to the next project around the house so that I can work with her again.

I have worked with Tracy over the last several months as she is assisting me with a whole house renovation. I find Tracy very easy to work with, she has some good industry contacts and takes the time to understand her client's needs rather than a "cookie cutter" approach to decorating.
Working with colour is probably one of Tracy's strongest attributes and she really studies not only the colour in question but also how it will holistically meld with the rest of the environment. This is particularly important to me as I am colour blind! It is easy to have reservations about a particular colour selected, but once it is combined with the rest of the palette it creates an amazing outcome. I would have no hesotation to recommend Tracy for commercial or residential design projects.

Lizzie excellent with colour. She was able to listen to my hand waving, ravings about what I wanted my apartment to feel like and synthesize it into a colourway for my home. She steered me towards colours that are still exciting, soothing and perfect two years later. I have recommended her to several friends who have had similar experiences.
Lizzie is very professional, curious, and thoughtful in her demeanour, and is able to recommend a cohesive and coherent colour palette for your home.
I would like to take this opportunity to relay what a wonderful experience we had working with Dovecote Design Studios. Tracy pulled together a space/home that is most beautiful and true to our taste. She worked with us to find what we desired and ensured that it all came together perfectly. Both her eye and personality made the process fun and stress-free. Thank you Tracy for creating such a lovely space for our family to live in!

Not only is Tracy extremely creative and tapped into local and international product sources, she is also able to work within smaller budgets and is always mindful of sustainability and the environment. I highly recommend her work!

My experience working with Tracy on a recent home updating project was excellent throughout the process, and culminated with a fabulous finished product that I was extremely pleased with. In fact, I had numerous compliments from various house guests on the "new house" that was created, and have recommended her services to several friends.
From the initial consultation forward, Tracy made a real concerted effort to understand my style; desired function; my end objective; and more importantly, the feel that I wanted to create. All of this was achieved, and fell within the budget that I had set out at the beginning. I was so pleased working with Tracy that I have hired her again for another house that I will be moving into shortly.
