exterior paint and materials specifications

when recent clients asked me what they should do about the colors and materials for the exterior of their home I knew that they had to call Irene from Design Happens.
Once again with her extensive knowledge and expertise on color and finishes, and how they play in the natural exterior light,
my clients now have a home that looks as beautiful on the outside as it does on the inside.
Irene selected colors and materials that not only transformed their home, but the curb appeal and first impression as you drive up to the house is now second to none on the street.
Thank you! Once again you made my clients,my project and me look so good!
sincerely

colour consult and space plan

I had the opportunity to have Irene Fraser to assist me,designing my first home. She was extremely helpful and end up saving me a lot of money,i.e furniture, tiles, and countertops for my bathroom and kitchen. She also did an amazing job with the colours scheme. Thanks to her, my home now has that warm cozy and welcoming feel. Irene devoted several hours, in assisting me and I felt, it was money well spent, as a result extra dollars saved in my budget. I would not hesitate to hiring her for all my future decorating projects.

large scale house renovation

Before beginning our home renovation, when asking around I was provided with a fabulous referral for Irene Fraser of Design Happens. I toured a new home that she provided her service from choosing paint colours to tile, florring, etc. My husband and I were very impressed and hired her immediately. Her contract fee was was reasonable to say the least. She extended her designer discount to us which saved us thousands of dollars. We had her review every product we liked to receive her feedback on what goes with what. I can honestly say, I feel I couldn't have hired a better designer than Irene Fraser. She won my trust immediately upon meeting her and my experience working with her was beyond my expectations. Our family loves our 'new' house and we receive ongoing compliments from friends and family. Irene was honest, straight forward, extremely accommodating, helpful in every way. I'd rate design service I received from Irene Fraser at Design Happens a 100 out of 10!!

Thank you Tisha for your kind words and compliments. You were excellent clients and a dream to work with. If there was a review site for clients I would give you a 10. You and Steve worked extremely well with a process that was unfamiliar to you especially during the demolition and construction phase, and took the time to work with me to find the right products all of which culminated in a great result for this renovation. Your house looks great.

Please feel free to contact me at any time should you have any issues or concerns, or just want to chat. Looking forward to doing the exterior later this year or next year.

Color Consultation

Irene helped me turn my little dark poorly painted condo into a warm welcoming home. She gave great assistance helping me choose colors that worked perfectly with my existing cabinetry, flooring and lighting. Her eye for what would work was spot on. On top of everything she gave me excellent referrals for furnishing and continues to be a great help; giving continual advice, checking in and volunteering her time while I complete my renovation. I would recommend Design Happens anytime. Thanks Irene!

Modernizing bedrooms/basement/hallways/living room

Irene was fabulous to work with. We purchased a townhouse that was outdated. We needed guidance and ideas on how to best update the home to make it ours. She had fabulous ideas for color which helped to brighten our home and knew just how to make my kids happy with bright and colourful bedrooms. She had fabulous connections to amazing companies that were able to help through the entire process. I would recommend Design Happens to anyone!

Colour consultation

Irene helped me set up my new office space by coming in, assessing my current progress and choices, and then gave me an excellent palette selection that perfectly complemented my setup. Every time a client comes in, they comment on how wonderful the office looks and how great the colours are. Thanks Irene!

You are more than welcome Michael and i will have to come by and see your new offices. During construction it is sometimes hard to visual the end result but usually when the painters are finished everything usually comes together. Enjoy the new space
