Michelle went above and beyond to helping us get the right size and color in our home. I am so in love with the final look of them! I would highly recommend her to anyone! **Comment from The Well Dressed Window:** > Thank you so much, Jessica! Your home was easy to decorate with your great sense of style! **★★★★★ — Lora Moran, Sept. 2019** > Michelle is a pleasure to work with and comes prepared to make recommendations and style suggestions. The whole process was seamless and the installation was flawless. We weren't even home when the install happened and never worried knowing Michelle was coordinating everything! Highly recommend her work! Thanks Michelle! **★★★★★ — Cathy Cruickshank, Jan. 2017** > Upon purchasing our home in Kelowna, Michelle was referred to us by our home's designer. She visited our space, gave her recommendations and listened attentively to my wish list. She offered multiple options in various price ranges and was very helpful in narrowing down the choices to fit our budget. Most notably, she respected that I wanted to do my due diligence and get multiple quotes from other window treatment companies. After speaking with representatives from big box stores and highly advertised outlets, I found her design knowledge superior and her prices on par, if not better, than companies I would have naturally assumed to be more economical. Her patience with my indecisiveness and her willingness to help me feel satisfied with my commitment was much appreciated. In addition, our blinds were delivered and installed quickly and easily by an equally friendly installer and we couldn't be happier with our purchase. I highly recommend considering The Well Dressed Window for any window treatment project. **★★★★ — Lorinda Christian, Dec. 2016** > Michelle has done 3 jobs for me now and I am very happy with the results. I hope to work with her again during my next project. **★★★★★ — Patrick Shaw, Dec. 2016** > Michelle is the consummate professional with great knowledge of her profession. She works very hard to give you the very best with no pressure. The work is of the highest quality and on time. **★★★★★ — Joanne Cockayne, Dec. 2016** > We moved into our new home in November, there were no previous window coverings in the living or dining rooms and as we were heading into winter and the temperature drops well below zero I was in need for drapery not only for esthetic purposes but also warmth. Michelle from "The well dresses window" came to my rescue. We chatted over the phone and via e-mail and I described what I was looking for, she arrived a day or two later armed with the perfect fabric swatches and great ideas, she found great fabric in my price range that matches my style. The order was ready for installation ahead of schedule and the quality and craftsmenship was excellent. Michelle is a very friendly and outgoing person and made my purchase with her a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Michelle and the "well dressed window". **★★★★★ — tkmorhaliek, March 2016** > Michelle is absolutely amazing!
