Design Happens

Irene was fantastic in helping us select colour options or our new house, and pointing us in the direction of very helpful contractors to acheive our vision. Our new house looks fantastic!!

I am so grateful to have found Irene! My tastes are odd and my home is unusual so it took great skill (and patience) to help me through the design process. My house is now dramatic and fabulous and full of eclectic items that work well together. I needed only to say "I want to find a place for this table or I want a shock white fireplace or..." and she knew what to suggest.

Irene is amazing. I happened upon her through HomeStars and the reviews are all true. She helped us choose out a color palette for our new home inside and out. She also recommended what kind of paint to buy. I would recommend Irene's services, she is great to work with and a great value. S.Dueck Poco

Irene, Design Happens, is the best value renovation money you can spend. She pays for herself multiple times over in both money and peace of mind. She is creative, knowledgeable, practical and honest - everything I want for a consultant!!

I have had the pleasure of Irene's keen eye in 2 homes where she has spun her magic of colour and flair. Irene feels like family when she enters your home with her warm heart and openness to design that has made my house a home

When my wife and I decided to renovate the main floor of our house, tearing it down to the studs and removing walls, we knew we had to call in all the best trades. We were extremely fortunate and grateful to have had the pleasure of working with Irene. From her friendliness and enthusiasm to her professionalism and knowledge we couldn’t have done a better job without her. Irene helped us with countertops, colors, backsplash and many other great ideas. These are the last stage items that can make or break a renovation. We could not be more pleased with the end results and would recommend her without hesitation.

I hired Irene after my hues failed to sell twice.
She directed me to make a few changes, New floors, new kitchen counters, new backsplash,paint three key rooms and put new grass in my back yard.
I must say I was nervous at such a large investment on a house that twice didn't sell.
Irene found me fabulous trades to install the new counters, floor, grass, paint and back splash. they were all professional, affordable and polite.
I was amazed at the end result my house was stunning and it sold for 95000.00 more than the previous listing in two days.
Irene is fun to work with and stays with in budget.
I can recommend her services with out hesitation.

Irene has an incredible ability with defining exactly what project requires and provides straight forward advice. She has an incredible ability with colour - both interior and exterior.
Her services are worth paying for!

As a painting contractor I have relied on Irene's expertise, knowledge and professional customer service to ensure that clients receive the very best end result. Irene's ability to make the right choices in an timely and precise manner, has always resulted in very satisfied clients who come back again and again. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for help with their renovation or new build to contact Design Happens to help them achieve the very best result.
