After meeting and reviewing some previous projects we were convinced Brenda was the expert for our home build but we did not expect the wonderful partnership and ultimate friendship to come out of the experience. > > Brenda has a wonderful network of exceptionally skilled trades, from custom cabinetry flooring/tiling installation to unique lighting fixture production, and affordable and top-rate crafted furniture solutions. > > Though we have only built one custom home, we now understand that architects do not always think practically. After starting to work with Brenda it became so eminently clear we should have involved Brenda Motter Design earlier in the process of designing our timber and stone rural home much earlier. > > One of Brenda’s biggest strengths is proportions and functionality. Brenda, on several occasions produced cross-section and plan views via AutoCAD to demonstrate ‘walkability’ throughout the home; when considering furniture purchases her layouts ensured decisions were going to be practicality on point. And remarkably Brenda meshed all the varied design ideas brought forth into a cohesive and aesthetically beautiful home (a challenge when the client appreciates so many movements of design). > > Brenda always accounted for the budget so every dollar was effectively spent, considering each detail whether it be a $50 add-on or a $200,000 custom built-in. > > Minor blemishes in installation did not go overlooked and often disturbed Brenda more than us–she always ensured the work was up to snuff. Brenda was regularly on-site at all the right timed installation events and constantly ensured hitting timelines went smoothly. > > If there was a chance to clone Brenda Motter Design and we had reason to create a space again, we would be so lucky to work with her again! Brenda gets a 20/10 for everything she did for us and more **★★★★★ — aconstance, Dec. 2020** > Brenda is a thoughtful and talented designer who gets to know her clients on a personal level. She takes the time to understand your style and vision and delivers every time! She is patient and incredibly creative and will help you down to the finest detail. She has helped transform our space in to a place we love coming home to. With a vision in mind to lighten up our living space she helped us find a new paint color for the entire house, renovated our living room with freshly painted millwork and new stone around the fireplace, added panelling to the dining room, front entrance and master bedroom, found a beautiful new dining table and customized a coffee table and accent table for the living room as well as customized window coverings. She even had a beautiful sideboard refinished in her shop for us. She has helped with many other small projects as well which we have been grateful for. We would highly recommend Brenda for any design needs. She is the best we have worked with hands down out of all the designers who have helped us in our last three homes. Thank you Brenda! **★★★★★ — Melanie Lang, Nov. 2019** > We worked together with Brenda to make our Dream Kitchen come true. We chose to remain living in our home during renovations; this brought a whole set of considerations that don’t have to be dealt with during a new home project. > Brenda went through our wish list/must haves and designed a layout that far exceeded our expectations. She added details to include functionality that we would not have thought of on our own. Brenda was able to incorporate high-end features while keeping within a realistic budget. > All of the trades that Brenda contracted were very respectful of our time and property. > Thank you for being so patient and calm when things didn’t go exactly as planned. We appreciate that you were available to us for questions and suggestions day and night. > The overall finished project looks amazing. In fact it doesn’t even look like the same house. > We would highly recommend Brenda and her team for your next home renovation project! **★★★★★ — Leida, Oct. 2019** > I approached Brenda based on the reviews I read online. I didn’t know what to expect when she came to see our house, she’s down to earth, so approachable and extremely nice. I had to develop my basement and she did a fantastic job from the initial plans to choosing colors, light fixtures, accessories, suggesting furniture, artwork etc. > Her selections and suggestions were spot on, like if she read our mind. She worked with our budget, made recommendations, and the final product is amazing. Everybody compliments our new basement, I want the rest of the house to look like it now. I highly recommend her, and I’d love to continue working with her in our future projects. If you’re in doubt of choosing a designer or not don’t think twice and choose Brenda, you won't be disappointed. . **Comment from Brenda Motter Interiors LTD:** > Thank you so much for the very sweet view. I have really enjoyed working with you both on your home. I am looking forward to working on the next phases. **★★★★★ — Cassidee Smith, Jan. 2019** > Brenda provided great insight in all aspects of my renovation. She helped with paint colours, cabinet handles, furniture, decor, and more. She was willing to come to my home and look at samples I liked and provide her professional opinion. She transformed my home from a crowded mismatch home to a minimalist industrial inspired home. I highly recommend Brenda for your interior design needs. **★★★★★ — Marie Washburn-Houk, Dec. 2017** > I worked with Brenda throughout my home build, from framing to interior staging. She was wonderful to work with, very resourceful, detailed, organized, and conscientious to both style and budget. > > I couldn’t have and wouldn’t have wanted to do it without her and would recommend her again and again. **★★★★★ — Marjel Janssen, Dec. 2016** > We approached Brenda during the design stage of our timber frame home for help with the lighting design as well as kitchen and bathroom lay-outs. From there the project scope kept growing to include hardware, tiling and flooring choices and the majority of the cabinetry and furniture, both built in and freestanding. > I really enjoyed working with Brenda throughout the duration of the project. She worked really well with the suggestions we provided (after spending many hours browsing pictures on Houzz) and incorporated most of them in her designs. In areas where we had less input she came with great suggestions that fitted our taste and the style of the house very well. The cabinetry and furniture she built for us are beautiful and high quality and blend perfectly with the rest of the house. > Her enthusiasm throughout the project and her professionalism dealing with setbacks in our furniture orders were very much appreciated and kept the project fun for us. > I would highly recommend Brenda for any interior design project, big or small. **Comment from Brenda Motter Interiors LTD:** > I have loved working on your project with you. You home is so unique and beautiful. I loved the excitement of doing something modern in timber frame that was perfectly your taste. When we are all done I will miss seeing and talking to you. I hope you stop by for a visit once in a while or have other projects that may come up to keep us in touch. **★★★★★ — Barb Hogan, Dec. 2016** > Brenda was amazing helping us take our dreams to reality. Our home is stunning, and is exactly what we wanted. She especially focused on the kitchen, where we cook family meals for the 6 of us and entertain often. It's perfect! **Comment from Brenda Motter Interiors LTD:** > Thank you Barb. I am so glad you guys finally got the renovation you wanted after such a long search. I looking forward to visiting you in your newly updated home. **★★★★★ — Martha Waslen, Dec. 2016** > Brenda made refurnishing our home such a fun, easy process and went above and beyond the expectations for our small project. Brenda and her team are extremely professional and have a vast knowledge of design trends, as well as great relationships with the best suppliers and manufacturers. They helped us turn our somewhat challenging space into the perfect home for two! **Comment from Brenda Motter Interiors LTD:** > Thank you!!! We love you guys. You have such a refreshing style and taste. When your nearby always stop in for a quick hi or to discuss your projects. I / We love to visit with you. **★★★★★ — Susan Shipley-Morgan, Nov. 2016** > Brenda was fabulous! Her calm, professional, meticulous, detailed, knowledge about decorating was incredible. She has done an amazing job with my home and decorated it exactly as I envisioned it. Cozy, comfortable, inviting and peaceful. As a new widow moving into a new home I needed help, support and a safe place to share my ideas no matter how crazy!! Brenda listens,cares and has passion for what she does! I feel so lucky that I have her and her team in my life. **Comment from Brenda Motter Interiors LTD:** > Thank you Susan. It has been such a pleasure working with you. We adore your energy and enthusiasm. We wish you many happy memories in your new home and are here to help you with what ever you need big or small. **★★★★★ — TimberStone Properties Ltd., Dec. 2015** > We have worked with Brenda Motter, in the creation of very special and unique projects for our clients. (TimberStone Properties Ltd.) > > Our goal is to engage with our client on a personal basis and to interpret their vision in a way that evolves to be greater than their orginal dream. Brenda and her team help us to design the important interior spaces to the delight of our client and her/his family and friends. > > We are very pleased to refer Brenda Motter, as one who will deliver the unique products and the appreciable value that we all strive for. **★★★★★ — atr19, Nov. 2015** > Brenda has been creating beauty in my home and businesses since 1996 and has never failed to implement our vision well beyond my expectations. One of the many wonderful things about working with Brenda is that you are able to participate in the creative process as much or as little as you may want, so in the end what comes through is exactly what you were hoping for. I would highly recommend her, without reservation. I expect to continue to rely on Brenda to bring beauty to my surroundings, at work and at home, for years to come. **Comment from Brenda Motter Interiors LTD:** > Thank you... I love working with you guys. Looking forward to our next project. ## Selected projects - [The Uplands](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-uplands-pj-vj~1372137) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 24 - [Kicking Horse Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kicking-horse-residence-pj-vj~2344062) - Location: Golden, BC - Photos: 34 - [Westminster](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westminster-pj-vj~5522674) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 54 - Description: Expansive open and airy transitional home for a family of 4.

One of the modern twists includes soaring Douglas fir rafters that project beyond the roofline; another important visual element is found in the home’s rear exterior. Instead of timber posts running perpendicular to the support beam, all vertical supports are in the shape of a “V,” which brings an unexpected design element to what is typically a simple structural element.

A: They were custom made for the home. **Q: what is the name of the shower tile?** *(in Photo Questions)* I’m having trouble finding it A: 12 x 24 Durango Travertine Honed and Filled. It is a natural stone. Some suppliers will have it under different names. I recommend that you check numerous pieces of the current lot to see if it works with your project. **Q: Bird pillows?** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you please provide the source for the applique bird pillows? A: The 2 coffee tables were custom made for this project. If you email me directly I will get you pricing on these items. brenda@brendamotter.com **Q: What model of washer/dryer are these?** *(in Photo Questions)* I want a large, stackable, Samsung set but can't find these on their website. The ones I find all have slanted controls so aren't stackable. A: These would be an old model now. I would contact an appliance dealer and ask what models they recommend for stacking. The controls in the photos do slant a bit and the top dryer sits a little back from the washer to accommodate for that. **Q: interested in stools** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please share where the stools came from A: We had the stools custom made. If your interested in them please email or call us and I will get you the current pricing on them. **Q: Can you tell me about the stair railings especially the spindles?** *(in Photo Questions)* I like the simple iron spindles. How were they made or where can I buy them? A: The spindles were custom designed and built by a blacksmith for this project. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
