Hello Sue, my name is Al Cinelli and I am the coop coordinator at Patrick Fogarty CSS in Orillia. I have a student with a request I haven't received in a long time. She wants some experience with Interior Design. So I started making some inquiries for her and I quickly found that most of these small businesses were one person operations working out of their homes, that couldn't give a student the full coop experience, on a daily basis. So, I have placed the student at Home Depot with the promise of exploring more options for her. This is where you come in. Is there any chance she could be given some opportunities to help stage houses or learn about interior design? Do you know anyone in the design business that could give this young lady some experiential learning opportunities in this field of work? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Al

That hits the target perfeclty. Thanks!

Hi Sue, We want to refinish our kitchen cabinets and staircase banister and spindles. We want a dark espresso for the kitchen and the white spindles with a cherry stain for the banister to match our Brazilian hardwood floors. Can you recommend a striping product and stain. Also, the steps to take to prepare and complete out 2 projects. Thank you

Hi Sue You helped us choose our colours when we purchased our new home. We are now in need of updating our kitchen and wonder if you could give us some advice on cabinet refacing as well as countertops, etc. and colour selection. Gwen Scorns

I have an extreme allergy to latex. I have been told by my allergist to find a paint that does not contain latex in it. I need to paint my home before putting it up for sale. Could you please recommend something?
