Diane is very enthusiastic, approachable, and full of great ideas/advice. She was willing to work within our budget and ensured that the final outcome of the renovation was EXACTLY what were hoping for. She was able to troubleshoot some mild supplier hiccups along the way to our satisfaction. We are very thankful for her vision, responsiveness, and advocacy. This is the first renovation we have ever done and it went smoother than we expected/hoped.

From start to finish, Diane was so professional, creative, inspirational and always prompt to respond to any questions and/or concerns. Previous to meeting Diane, we had spent months looking for ‘just the right’ vinyl plank flooring, with no luck. Fortunately, we were referred to Diane, who very quickly sourced what has turned out to be ‘the perfect’ flooring. Also, her eye for paint colours is like no other! We were looking for a transformation to very modern (beachy) colours, with lots of white paint, soft pewter cabinets etc. She arranged for a painting company to do all the painting, and they even re-painted several mirror frames as well as stair railings & bannisters. Very reliable painting company, always on time, and on task for follow-up touch-ups. Wow! Thank you Diane, you have transformed our home from dark colours into one that is modern, bright, and so beautiful! We can’t thank you enough!

I am so pleased with my new spa bathroom! Diane had great recommendations and ideas on how to accomplish the vision of what I was hoping to achieve. Diane had suggestions for locally sourced products and recommendations for contractors and local BC companies that I preferred to support. The end result is a wonderful relaxing oasis! Thanks again Diane!

Diane was very professional and a pleasure to work with in our renovation of our main floor and update of our furniture. She took time to understand our decorating style and gave us excellent options. She provided invaluable experience on the process, and necessary timing for ordering appliances, furniture, cabinets and materials. She gave great attention to details and kept us well informed on the progress. She initially provided itemized budget estimates which proved to be very accurate. Diane made our renovation a fun, positive experience.

We highly recommend Diane! She not only had great design ideas but was able to educate us on the "how and why" of some design choices. She was friendly, punctual, and respectful of our budget. She also took the time to listen to us and come up with design ideas in keeping with our vision of a practical (yet beautiful) family home. Thanks, Diane!!

We built a new house that was completed in 2020! We got to know Diane as she was the designer for the kitchen, bathroom, and office cabinets we were having made by Nickel’s Cabinets. She was professional, skilled, easy to discuss anything with, always available to solve any dilemma that arose, and creative. She loves what she does and offers ideas quickly and is willing to take in more work if needed or wanted. We soon handed Diane many different aspects of our home that needed doing ... finding stone for our fireplace, helping figure out wood beams and millwork design, choosing tiles, wallpaper, paint colours, lighting and flooring. We really enjoyed working with her and she made the challenging work of building a house much easier because she took charge if we wanted/needed her to. We don’t hesitate to highly recommend her and will call upon her again!!

We loved working with Diane! Her incredible eye for detail, creative genius and design abilities to transform our dream into reality was second to none, while still allowing us our own style and ideas. She listened to our special requirements regarding what would work around our lifestyle and family then expertly designed our home to timelessly function for us while still looking stunning! Her easygoing demeanor and great communication skills allowed her to expertly collaborate with my husband and myself, the contractor, suppliers as well as the trades people. Throughout the entire process she was able to help us visualize the project with samples and expert drawings. Diane's sense of space, perspective and balance seamlessly guided the project from conception to installation and completion. We would not hesitate to work with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a designer.

With Diane's expert help we turned a run down apartment into a beautiful home! Diane is a pleasant lady, easy to work with. It is obvious that she has much experience in designing kitchens and bathrooms. She is a professional, has an excellent eye for colour and detail. All of her suggestions were tasteful as well as practical, though she also gave us enough room for our own creativity. I would not hesitate to do another renovation with her and will recommend her to my friends.

Wow! What a job. We hired Diane to help us design a kitchen remodel with Nickels Cabinets. We were 2000 miles away and worked with Diane over FaceTime. She did a tremendous job! Despite her having never stepped foot in our house, the kitchen remodel was a great success, and the cabinetry fits beautifully into place. She was great at communication and flexible in working with our schedule in a different timezone. Without a doubt, I would recommend her to my friends and family.

Diane is a pleasure to interact with. She has in depth knowledge of the kitchen industry which she has graciously shared with us and our clients. We look forward to working with Diane again in the future.

After interviewing several design companies, we interviewed Diane for our kitchen renovation. It quickly became evident that Diane would be the perfect fit to suit our design/reno needs. Her friendly, easy going manner comibined with a trained eye and attention to detail made her a pleasure to deal with for the duration of our renovation. We couldn’t be happier with the finished product and highly recommend Diane for any renovation or home improvement project!

We recently used Diane to help us in a complete remodel of our master en-suite bathroom. Diane took what was an overwhelming project for us and guided us through every step of the project including choice of materials and layout. She was always available when questions or problems arose and never made us feel like we were bothering her. This was our first time using a designer and Diane took away the stress and made it a fun and exciting experience. Our bathroom is now the calm and soothing room we were looking for! It was a pleasure to work with Diane and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our next project! Thanks Diane!
