Sue Taylor

Sue is the “driver” of the business side of Retreat, spending 2 decades in the retail industry as a Creative Director. She not only thrives on networking, marketing and getting new business for the company but is also extremely customer service driven and thinks “outside of the box” to solve problems creatively.

Her laugh and positive attitude are considered to be Retreat’s "deadly weapons”.

Honing in on her awareness for “what’s new now”, combined with her love for interior décor makes this half of the duo a force to reckon with!

Manon Messina

She’s our French Connection!

The bilingual half of the team brings many years of décor experience from an Interior Design background in Quebec. Her unique sense of style and innate understanding of how to make the most of any space contributes to the success of each stage we complete.

She keeps her finger on the pulse in terms of everything new in the decor industry and decorates every house as if it's her own.

She injects a “Joie de Vive” wherever we go and is a master of “camouflage”. Our "Jack of all Trades", she drives our truck, she can fix what's broken and is a master of mixing all things old with new. All of this and she is fast!

Fiona Chisolm

Calm, cool collected, we can always depend on a "logical" solution to problems with this great addition.

Working in the Hospitality Industry for almost 40 years, Fiona has a passion for people and ensuring their experiences are memorable. She strives for perfection, with an eye for detail and willingness to "go the extra mile" as well as a strong concern for pleasing our clients, "Fee" is a perfect fit to Team Retreat!

"I had offered Sue & Manon to lend a hand when they needed it, they took me up on it, and I'm so glad! I am HOOKED on it now! My favourite thing is transforming a home with a new fresh look and watching the clients excitement at the reveal (if we are fortunate enough to see the 1st time they see their staged to sell home!). The ladies at Retreat are inspiring and it is an honour to be a part of this strong team! Being amidst all the staging with Retreat, I come home and start looking at my home with a different set of eyes, and have been known to move a thing or two around!"
