You took a basic design from another designer, for a new powder room and updated kitchen, and brought those plans to life and fruition. > We knew this was going to take about 4 months, so we can happily say that the final project finished on time. > While we ran over budget, that was mainly due to predictable small tweaks, or details we added, as we went along. We are completely happy with the finished product. **★★★★★ — Ambiance Coatings & Finishes Inc, Feb. 2016** > We had the opportunity to work alongside Shawn for the first time in 2015. > > Our first impressions were that Shawn was completely in tune with her clients needs, wants and practical expectations for highly quality, functional and aesthetically pleasing installations and design features. > > First and foremost, Shawn verified that our capabilities were in line with the standard of superior workmanship, professional character and corporate integrity that she herself, and her clientele, value and appreciate in a trades partner. > > Secondly, Shawn's oversight of the ongoing project was second to none. Consistent communication and regular site visits were the norm. The well planned orchestration of the logistics of other trade partners resulted in our responsibilities being completed smoothly to the high standard that we expect of ourselves. We were very grateful for this. > > Lastly, but certainly not least, Shawn's demeanor was always one of respect and appreciation for all parties involved in her project. It was a pleasure for our company to be included in such a successful project and with the exceptional group of trades that Shawn has built and garnered loyalty from. > > We were very pleased to have made Shawn's professional acquaintance and look forward to many more collaborations going forward. > > Grant Macdonald - Ambiance Coatings & Finishes Inc **Comment from The Lady Renovator:** > Wow, Grant thank you very much for this glowing review. Without question the work you and your team performed for us was second to none. I look forward to working with Ambiance Coatings & Finishes in the near future. Shawn **★★★★★ — happycustomer1234, Feb. 2016** > We have worked with Shawn Richardson Designs on all three phases of our home renovation. Over several years Shawn provided design advice and support for the selection of all furniture, fixtures, color schemes, accessories and soft finishings . She is an accomplished design professional well connected and able to deliver a superior custom product. Her designs are practical, functional and most importantly, aesthetically pleasing to the eye and easy to live with. She can develop designs that fit into the customers budget and never disappoints. We would highly recommend her services to you on your design project. Sit back and let her make your next renovation project an easy and enjoyable experience. **Comment from The Lady Renovator:** > Thank you so much for your support and glowing review.

I especially love your beautiful master bathroom finished in 2014! **★★★★ — sewing express, Black Diamond, Feb. 2016** > I have worked with Shawn for over 10 years & have tremendous respect for her . She is always professional, a good communicator and always gets the job done! Always provides clear details of the work that needs to be done & makes sure the materials arrive in time to meet deadlines. **Comment from The Lady Renovator:** > Thank you, it is so rewarding to work with professionals who understand and appreciate attention to detail.

She has access to highly qualified tradespeople and the whole project evolved on time and on budget! **Comment from The Lady Renovator:** > It was such a pleasure to work on this kitchen. It was fun to work your special hand made tiles from Holland into the backsplash. **★★★★★ — Mary Jane Holberton, Feb. 2016** > Shawn is the consummate professional. Always great to deal with, she has a wonderful design sense and is able to translate what the customer wants into a polished, finished project. She works with a great team who are detail oriented for best results. She is easy to work with, goes with the flow when the unexpected happens (as it ALWAYS does) and keeps her cool with her wonderful sense of humour. I would recommend Shawn for any project, large or small, when you want it done right. **Comment from The Lady Renovator:** > I have really appreciated your consistently high level of customer service from you and your staff with all of the lighting and bath products I have purchased from you over the years. It was such fun to work on the Ranch Project with you too! **★★★★★ — mntbikebabe, Feb. 2016** > We are remodeling our entire home - down to the studs and adding 25 feet to the house. While we are excited to build our dream home, I quickly realized that I would have to pick out all of the finishes and this was just too overwhelming for me. We are only doing this one time and I wanted to make sure it turned out right...so we hired Shawn. We are still in the beginning phases but Shawn has been there every step of the way providing guidance on what we need to do and things we need to think about. She responds quickly and has great ideas. After seeing her work on HGTV with the Property Brothers I am super excited to see what she pulls together for our home! **Comment from The Lady Renovator:** > Thank you, I am so looking forward to working with both of you on your renovation project! **★★★★★ — marlaryland, Feb. 2016** > Shawn is not only a very talented Designer but incredibly easier to work with. I would not hesitate to hire her and look forward to working with her again. ## Selected projects - [Robertson](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/robertson-pj-vj~7405622) - Location: Victoria, BC - Photos: 4 - Description: Family bathroom. - [Ash Rd](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ash-rd-pj-vj~7352292) - Location: Victoria, BC - Photos: 8 - [Hatfield](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hatfield-pj-vj~7352297) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Winchester](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/winchester-pj-vj~7352289) - Location: Victoria, BC - Photos: 7 - Description: Lovely main floor renovation for a dynamic and busy family.
