Douglas Design Studio

In 2006, my wife and I embarked on what many describe as one of life's most stressful processes - a full home renovation. Very early in the process, we were blessed to have been recommended Jeffrey Douglas as someone who we should speak to as a potential designer to assist us. Hiring Jeffrey was one of the best decisions that we made.

From the moment he became part of our team, he truly made our project his project. No detail was overlooked or was too small to attract his attention. His creativity and talents were truly humbling. Our home turned out exactly as we wanted it to and, in some cases, Jeffrey helped guide us in certain directions that we perhaps may not have gone but which we are now thrilled that we did.

Jeffrey also showed absolute respect for our budget and our desire to stay within it. We never felt hesitant to tell Jeffrey that, although an idea sounded great, we simply couldn't fit it into our budget. In those cases, Jeffrey worked with us to find ways to achieve his idea without breaking our budget.

One talent of Jeffrey's that truly sets him apart is his ability to stand in your space, explain a concept for a room and then pull out a pencil and draw the room so that you can see exactly how the room will look when it is done. It is as though he looks into the future, takes a picture in his mind and then presents it to you. It is an incredibly helfpful way to make decisions.

While our project ended in 2007, we have continued our relationship with Jeffrey. He has helped us furnish two rooms and we will soon be starting a third with him. We simply wouldn't do it without him.

Jeffrey has even offered us guidance and help in making art choices. Just this summer, while traveling in Europe, my wife and I saw a sculpture that we liked very much. We sent a picture to Jeffrey from the gallery and received an almost immediate response with comments and suggestions for our purchase.

Do yourself a favour if you are looking for a designer...give Jeffrey a call.
