“When we started talking about renovating our home, we thought we had a good idea of what we liked and wanted but quickly realized there are a lot of decisions and each one impacts the next. So, we decided to hire Jane of Cottage Fever Interior Design to provide guidance and ensure what we did was cohesive with both our lifestyle and our vision. I had seen some of Jane's other projects, loved her aesthetic and effortless ability to give each space the right mix of style and functionality while keeping them inviting and beautiful. Jane took my initial thoughts and ideas to the next level. She listened to what was important to us, asked the right questions about how we live in our home, recommended several cost saving and creative solutions, ensured our project stayed on schedule and within the budget we set. Jane gave us the most amazing space, we absolutely love our home now! Jane added color, practicality, design and comfort – all the things I was looking for but struggled to execute myself. If you’re looking for a designer who will listen to you and make your dream home a reality, hire Jane you’ll be glad you did!”

“Denise Mitchell helped us with our first small renovation seven years ago and we were so impressed with how everything went that we did not hesitate to engage her and her team’s services again for our recent major renovations. We completely changed the kitchen, family room, three bathrooms, all the windows, external and internal doors as well the main entrance to the house. Denise worked with us right from the beginning until every detail was completed. We are delighted with the end result and would not hesitate to recommend Denise and her team! We had some idea of the changes we would like and communicated that to Denise at our initial meeting. Denise was very perceptive and immediately understood where we were coming from. She came back with fabulous design solutions and options that were immediately pleasing to us. Her presentations were done using sophisticated software so we could visualize the spaces easily. We were able to play around with different options and make changes efficiently. She provided us with detailed drawings and plans and no detail was left unplanned. Denise provided very professional and excellent design service and we feel very fortunate to have had her help and advice. Denise and her team were responsive, reliable, trustworthy and great fun to work with. They helped us transform our home to a beauty! We are very grateful.”

“RG Design Studio was simply amazing to work with on the design of our new home. Rachelle is so professional, creative and thoughtful with regard to our wants and needs. Our contractors had high praise for her knowledge and abilities and we could not be happier at how beautiful everything turned out. We highly recommend RG Design Studio to anyone!”

“We found Drolet design to be very professional, helpful and we were impressed by the speed of service. Jamie went the extra mile by suggesting several cost savings measure on our new home and even provided great references for companies to deal with. In the future, we will absolutely use Drolet design again, and want to say thank you for the good work.”

“Colleen helped us with kitchen renos. She listened to what we needed, our lifestyle, our wants and then we discussed what we needed and we were, with her help, able to discern the wants from the needs. Without Colleen we would have been swimming, at times we were, but she kept us calm and collected. made us look at things from all angles, and kept us on our budget. Kitchen renos are stressful, and during all this her sense of the vision for us stayed constant and realistic. I have recommended Colleen to other people and I have gained a great and knowledgeable friend. Video of renos on Houzz”

“Donna not only has an eye for design and detail, but she is also extremely organized. During our project, she was always available, kept the various trades on time and budget, and gave us a sense of comfort knowing the project would be completed on time and on budget. We would highly recommend DB Interiors + Design for your renovation. You won't be disappointed.”

“I hired Timberguides to build an addition on my basic "BC-Box" home. I was wanting more space in the kitchen area, and what I got was far beyond what I could have imagined. Ruth has an amazing way of hearing what is unsaid, and of imagining a space to meet the unspoken needs. Instead of simply extending the house, she and Chris designed a 'Great-Room' with clerestory windows up high, and huge windows on three walls. As soon as it was completed, this space became a central gathering place whenever we have company. We moved our eating area out there because is so bright and welcoming. The Great-Room completely transformed the look and feel of the house, moving it up-scale and giving the whole building a contemporary west-coast feel that still surprises me. Ruth also imagined enough storage to deal with the many kitchen items that I was juggling, as well as a great sit-down working desk in the great-room for my children - it is so nice to have them out with us when we are preparing a meal or out in the main living space. Faced with a long wall and a need for a lot of storage, Ruth designed a set of varied cabinets, counters, drawers, desks and counters that is cohesive, functional and attractive - with both variety and continuity in the panels. It is a very very useful addition to the house, and looks stunning. Decisions about flooring and siding, discussions about the removal of two dysfunctional gas fireplaces/stoves and their replacement with wood stoves, discussions about the subsequent roofing issues - all were carefully considered and multiple solutions were offered. The original intent was not to re-roof or re-side the house, and when I suggested this, Chris was particularly good about reining in my enthusiasm, reminding me of the dreaded 'reno creep' that can happen during a complex renovation and striving to keep costs down. I eventually decided that I did want to re-roof and re-side, but I had a clear understanding that I was choosing additional construction that would take me beyond the original cost estimates. I am particularly grateful that both Ruth and Chris are frugal people who were not willing to launch into additional renovations without a thorough discussion. The home, when completed, has increased in value, usability and 'street appeal'. We ended up with something that makes me proud, and a home that is very livable. The quality of the work was high. Ruth and Chris brought their complete attention to numerous details and their knowledge of building design and construction clearly contributed to a successful renovation. A renovation can be a stressful experience, especially if you try to live in the house being renovated. Chris and Ruth helped reduce the stresses, they are very pleasant people to work with, something that cannot be over-stated.”
