"When My husband and I decided to settle down in London, Ontario, we purchased a beautiful heritage home to start our family. While the home was perfectly kept by its previous owners dating back to the 1890’s, the decor was outdated and the layout of the home was quite awkward. This was when we met Vanessa, who, on her first visit, took pages of handwritten notes of every detail we talked about. I wanted the house to reflect our personality, but make life easier for us at the same time. Vanessa presented us with a design that was truly unique and jaw breaking, while keeping the integrity of the original home. She left no stone unturned and thought about every single detail to pull everything together. Things that we would have never thought about, like the kitchen ceiling, Vanessa would pay attention to. I would feel comfortable sharing even my craziest ideas and Vanessa would turn them into something classy, but not over the top. Vanessa is passionate about design and clearly loves her job. We were very lucky to have worked with her."

"I have so enjoyed working with Vanessa. I met Vanessa through Riverside Construction who was doing our renovation. She gave expert design advice and worked very collaboratively with us and with Riverside. She listened to our vision for the house. When I wasn’t always sure how to realize that vision, she knew how. At the end of our renovation, the house was more beautiful than we could have achieved on our own, but it was still a true reflection of our own style and personality. I am continuing to work with Vanessa in finishing off all the details for the furnishings of our home."

"Watching the Oscars last night in my renovated basement made me think an award should go to you, Vanessa for your excellent work completely refinishing the largest space in my condo. New flooring, new lighting, new painting, new furniture and in addition a wall of custom builtins! Your eye for detail and understanding of this client resulted in the perfect happy place! Any obstacles along the way vanished. Best of all your delightful personality and wealth of insight was always a winning combination!
The award goes to Vanessa Cosgrove!"

"In 2019, we were introduced to Vanessa to assist with the design of our home renovations. From the beginning Vanessa was able to understand our style and create a unique vision that fit our budget and needs. We appreciated Vanessa’s warm and personal approach to designing and we always felt that she was available to answer questions and problem solve well, which made us feel at ease.

"Having been in our current home 20 years, we had decided to update our master bedroom. We had wanted to make a dramatic change from antique with dark colours to something with strong mid-century modern themes and light colours with a functional walk-in closet. We met with Vanessa we were immediately impressed at how quickly she was able to connect to our vision and provide an innovative and exciting design that built on our desired themes perfectly. She provided a comprehensive plan incorporating existing elements we had collected as well as introducing new accessories to create a relaxing functional space with a quiet positive energy. Now complete, we are thrilled with the stunning visual presentation, but also the greatly improved functionality of the space. Every day the space just makes us happy and proud of our home."
"Vanessa at Mosaic Design helped us transform a useless room into a perfect baby room. I was floored by the transformation. I could never of even imagined the room had potential to look as good as it does, and now it’s easily the nicest room in the house. Looks like it’s from a magazine. Vanessa is so awesome, professional and super smart. Clearly made for this profession. 10/10 would recommend. Hope to have her start some other jobs soon. Thanks Vanessa!"

"Vanessa is awesome! Everything we didn't know we wanted she delivered on. She has helped with 2 projects so far and we have been more than pleased with her help in making a vision board and helping through the process. She was able to take a landscape photo that we loved and used it as inspiration to make our home a place that we Can retreat to. ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!!"

"We recently worked with Mosaic Design for a first floor renovation. Vanessa was an absolute pleasure to work with - she nailed what we wanted (when we did not even know) and the result is a cohesive, much loved space.
Vanessa made the renovation process positive and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Mosaic Design for any of the services offered. Thank you!"
"I worked with Vanessa at Mosaic Design when I finished my basement. I was comfortable creating my own layout but definitely needed help with design elements such as options and choices for materials (wall tile, flooring, hardware, cabinetry, fixtures) and furniture, paint colour, accessories, etc. From start to finish it was a collaborative effort; sometimes she would do the research and present me with options; other times I would do the research and seek her opinion. She listened to my needs and ideas. At times, she opened my eyes to things I would not otherwise have considered, and together we created a beautiful end product that is a reflection of my taste and style. She is always very responsive, patient and supportive. I loved working with Vanessa and would hire her again without question."
