We needed to update the entire home as everything was original (from the 60s!). We just didn’t know where to begin. Then, we discovered Chantale at Studio 853! Her ideas on how to make our spaces beautiful and functional blew us away! She really made sure to stay true to the home by enhancing existing features and incorporating them into a fresh, stylish, sophisticated look. Her and her team where able to provide a 3-D depiction of what the house will look like – this helped so much in being able to see her vision. We could not be happier with the results and with the relationship we built. Chantale was always available to answer any design questions our contractors had – with an older home, there are always surprises and Chantale offered amazing guidance to make it work. We can’t emphasize enough how amazing she made our home look and we look forward to having her design the landscape and back yard. **Comment from Studio 853 design:** > Such a pleasure to work with both of you as well! We certainly hope that this update will make you feel like you are at home and not just a house. Looking forward to making your backyard part of the overall project, so that you can enjoy that fantastic green surrounding that you are so lucky to have in the city! **★★★★★ — Johanne Thivierge, April 2018** > Chantale is a very creative designer and is an amazing listener. She knew exactly what our plans were and even more. Through our landscape, she integrated colors that brought out the look of our house. All the 300 plants are very low maintenance, as requested. Because of the size of our land and the width of our house and garage, we had to use the eyes of an expert in dimensions. We are so very happy to have trusted Chantale on that project! It was a great adventure! **Comment from Studio 853 design:** > Thank you! Such a pleasure to work with you both! We are very proud of your project, a 'go to' referral project for our new clients! > https://www.houzz.com/projects/2684034/rustic-landscape **★★★★★ — Julie Charland, March 2018** > English follows. > > Nous avons fort apprécié les services de Chantale de Studio 853 Design dans la conception d’une rénovation complète de notre cuisine. Nous avons senti qu’elle était à l’écoute et comprenait le concept qui nous intéressait. Elle nous a proposé des choix auxquels nous n’avions pas pensé et qui nous ont plu immédiatement. Nous avons pu établir un plan de l’emploi de chaque armoire et tiroir afin de maximiser la fonctionnalité de la cuisine et optimiser le rangement. Ses suggestions judicieuses de matériaux et de couleurs nous ont évité de nombreux maux de tête. Le résultat final a répondu à nos besoins en cuisine, se marie bien au reste de la maison, et nous vaut de nombreux compliments. Nous n’hésitons aucunement à recommander ses services. > > > We greatly appreciated the services of Chantale from Studio 853 Design in the design of a complete renovation of our kitchen.

We had a chance to view one of her projects at a luxurious penthouse in Ottawa and knew immediately that her tastes in decorating would mesh perfectly with our vision for our dream home. > > The whole process with Chantale has been incredible. Her knowledge of current trends and recommended trades and suppliers have been extremely helpful and she is always aware of costs and budgets. We initially contracted with Chantale for interior design of the main floor of our new house, but have subsequently engaged her services for our lower floor, the exterior of our house plus the landscaping of both our front and rear yards. > > Chantale is a wonderful, knowledgeable professional who has also become a friend. We would certainly recommend her to anyone seeking a designer. **Comment from Studio 853 design:** > Thank you so much Debora and Richard! We are very privileged to have been given this opportunity to showcase our work.

I am sure that you will enjoy it for a very long time! **★★★★★ — rocsan69, March 2017** > The services of Studio 853 really helped us bring peace of mind when it came the time to think about our landscaping. They respected our budget and our preferences and they brought in some new ideas that we hadn't thought of. Our plans were ready quickly and are done in a way where we can do our landscaping in phases and at our rhythm. They were very flexible in the time to schedule our meetings and they were quick. Thank you Chantale and your team for an awesome job. **★★★★★ — Pierre Dauth Financial Services Inc, Jan. 2017** > We had the pleasure to hire Chantale from Studio 853 to design our new office space last summer and from day one we felt Chantale was extremely a warm-hearted individual and she was simply a pleasure to work with. Her attention to details exceeded our expectations. She created a space for us that we are very proud to show our clients. > We would not hesitate to recommend her services weather it is for your home or your business. **★★★★★ — M Crossman, Dec. 2016** > We hired Chantale to re-design our front steps and front garden. Our house was built in 1971 and has a style that we didn't want to lose but it desperately needed updating. Chantale's attention to detail is impeccable! She was able to help us see her vision in the first meeting! She created an incredible look that is beautiful, remains true to the design of the house and blended existing garden but minimized clutter of plants. She inspired our neighbours to do similar front landscaping. Neighbours stopped by to comment on how gorgeous it looked! Thanks Chantale! We've now asked Chantale to help us with the backyard! **★★★★★ — Pascal Vezina, Dec. 2016** > Excellent work! The vision of Studio 853 for our new bathroom was awesome. Our contractors were impressed by the details they've put into the design. > Thank you to Studio 853. **★★★★★ — Spacebuilders, Dec. 2016** > My family and I have worked on many different projects with Chantale and all of them have turned out great! Chantale is very attentive to our needs and wishes, her professionalism on all the projects she has worked on is remarkable. We have no hesitation on recommending her to working with anyone who needs helps in realizing their dream or special projects to come through. They will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — arlenem47, April 2016** > When it came to the final design and finishing touches on our lake home, Chantal exceeded our expectations. A redesign of our kitchen and her expert opinion on finishes has made our home the perfect getaway. ## Selected projects - [Pebble Trail Way Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pebble-trail-way-project-pj-vj~5707788) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 34 - [Lansdowne Park / Rideau Terrace Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lansdowne-park-rideau-terrace-penthouse-pj-vj~2217452) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 16 - Description: Rideau Terrace Penthouse stunning view that matches this modern with a touch of classic design. - [Woods St Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woods-st-pool-house-pj-vj~460235) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 18 - [Woodland House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodland-house-pj-vj~2988738) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Du Lac Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/du-lac-kitchen-pj-vj~460281) - Location: Saint-Pascal-Baylon, ON - Photos: 6 - [Loft bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/loft-bathroom-pj-vj~508453) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 7 - [Montargis House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/montargis-house-pj-vj~2713926) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 27 - [Des Cornouillers Master Ensuite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/des-cornouillers-master-ensuite-pj-vj~460174) - Location: Gatineau, QC - Photos: 6 - [Infinity Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/infinity-pool-pj-vj~1730871) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 37 - [Wine cellar / Poker room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wine-cellar-poker-room-pj-vj~460458) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 11 - [Du Ruisseau Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/du-ruisseau-pool-house-pj-vj~871460) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 13 - [Woods St Living room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woods-st-living-room-pj-vj~460388) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 7 - [Wood St. Banquette](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-st-banquette-pj-vj~460331) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 8 - [Living Room-industrial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-room-industrial-pj-vj~1732564) - Location: Saint-Pascal-Baylon, ON - Photos: 3 - [Modern Two Tone Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-two-tone-kitchen-pj-vj~1733140) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 10 - [Rustic Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-landscape-pj-vj~2684034) - Location: Saint-Pascal-Baylon, ON - Photos: 30 - [Office Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/office-space-pj-vj~2265502) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 18 - [Commercial Restroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/commercial-restroom-pj-vj~1730795) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 7 - [Woods St Powder room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woods-st-powder-room-pj-vj~460102) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 7 - [Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/powder-room-pj-vj~1732598) - Location: Clarence-Rockland, ON - Photos: 14 [See all 29 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/studio-853-design-pfvwus-pf~1325866264) ## Ideabooks - [Rustic - Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/78015630/list/rustic-cottage) — 7 ideas - [Baseline](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/145274542/list/baseline) — 14 ideas - [Bathroom Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9814332/list/bathroom-ideas) — 4 ideas - [Kitchen Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9814331/list/kitchen-ideas) — 4 ideas - [Living Room Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9814334/list/living-room-ideas) — 3 ideas - [curtain - drapes](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25706596/list/curtain-drapes) — 2 ideas - [Landscape Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9814336/list/landscape-ideas) — 2 ideas - [Bedroom Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9814333/list/bedroom-ideas) — 1 idea - [pools](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23974560/list/pools) — 5 ideas - [Master bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25422370/list/master-bath) — 5 ideas - [Transitional bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25417909/list/transitional-bedrooms) — 7 ideas - [Pool Houses](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23973736/list/pool-houses) — 11 ideas - [front yard](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23974376/list/front-yard) — 1 idea - [small patios / back yards](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23935740/list/small-patios-back-yards) — 7 ideas - [Project-1\_basement entertainement area / inspiration](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9895383/list/project-1-basement-entertainement-area-inspiration) — 13 ideas - [Exterior Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9814341/list/exterior-ideas) — 1 idea - [Kids Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9814338/list/kids-ideas) — 1 idea [See all 17 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/studio853) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the sectional!** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell us where you purchased it?
