I browsed several designers' portfolios and decided to go with Karen since I liked her style, and from there, everything was a bliss. Karen was detailed-oriented and at every step of the design process she always had her client's interest in mind. It was a pleasure to have her as my designer. **Comment from Karen Goodale Design:** > Thank you Chong for taking the time to review my services and the end result of your project. It was a pleasure to create a space for you that I hope you find has just the right amount of cheerful and also is relaxing too. I hope you enjoy your new condo! **★★★★★ — Stuart & Helen McFadyen, Nov. 2016** > Karen is a real professional. A good listener. Excellent at reaching compromises on family differences. > Karen has an excellent sense of colour and design. She was able to pull together the disparate elements in our condominium to produce an excellent final product. **Comment from Karen Goodale Design:** > I really enjoyed pulling together the things that matter matter most to this couple. They both had ideas of what they wanted to see at end and it was fun to try and work in what they each wanted. Thank you Stuart and Helen. I enjoyed you and am glad you are pleased with your spaces. **★★★★★ — jaisilee, Nov. 2016** > Karen Goodale was absolutely fantastic to deal with. She helped pick out the perfect backsplash for my kitchen. She was very patient and respectful of my style decisions. She suggested what woul and woul not be a good choice. She was also there to ensure the installers knew what to do. She made sure to check in with me everyday until the project was completed to my satisfaction. I will definitely engage her for other renovations to my house! **Comment from Karen Goodale Design:** > Thanks for your review. It was so great to work with yo on you kitchen backsplash and your fireplace surround. I am so glad you love the end result. I would be delighted to work on another project with again anytime! **★★★★★ — Stew Swanson, Oct. 2016** > I received Karen's contact information from a mutual friend. I contacted her and within a week we sat down to discuss ideas. She then created a detailed plan as well as visuals for me to choose what I like and did not like. From that she had options of various large items (bed frame, table, couch etc.) for me to choose from so that they could be ordered and arrive on time. She allowed me to be involved as much or as little as I wanted to be for the remaining purchases. She would email or text me pictures so I could make a quick decision. She would pay for everything and then she would invoice me regularly. She then organized everything to be moved in and she set everything up. I didn't move a thing! > > The overall experience was great. I didn't have to worry about the minor details as I knew it was getting looked after by Karen. The end result was fantastic and I still receive great feedback from people that visit my place. I gave Karen a budget and she hit the budget mark. > > I honestly think if I were to have gone at furnishing my place alone that I would have spent more money with a less desirable outcome. I highly recommend Karen. Please visit Karen's website (http://www.karengoodaledesign.com) for pictures of my condo unit (labeled The Ultima - A Condo Downtown Edmonton in her portfolio) **Comment from Karen Goodale Design:** > Thank you Stew. It was such a pleasure to work with you. I so enjoyed putting together the modern bachelor vibe you wanted for your new condo.

It was exciting to see the finished project and how wonderful it turned out. > Kathy **★★★★★ — aline54, March 2016** > Karen was a joy to work with, she was very professional and listened to my needs. She managed to decorate my house within the budget given, within my style and it still looks like my home but better. I would not hesitate to use her services again. **★★★★★ — irishman\_99, Jan. 2016** > I've known Karen for a couple of years now and we have worked on various projects together.

She has a great design ability and vision to delivery a master piece. > I hope we will work together in coming future projects. I definitely recommend her. Thank you Karen.. well done! **★★★★★ — Betty Little, Aug. 2015** > I first contacted Karen about a year ago based on the reviews I had read on Houzz. It was a great experience from our first meeting. Karen helped me with my living room, dining room and master bedroom. We started the project by first painting the entire home. Karen helped with the colour selection and putting me in touch with a painter who did a remarkable job. Karen helped me choose colours and fabrics for my windows in the living room and bedroom. She has great resources and we chose some beautiful carpeting that were custom made into area rugs. I found that Karen is well respected by her suppliers and they work well together. She organized the design and production of a bed cover and a head board that were stunning. Karen always kept her appointments, was prompt and didn't waste time. One of the best things about Karen is the way she takes care of concerns. One of the area rugs wouldn't lay flat and was buckled around the trim. She took care of having the problem resolved and kept me updated on the progress. She is reliable, thorough and pays attention to every detail. I look forward to my next project with Karen. ## Selected projects - [Sunview Lane Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunview-lane-project-pj-vj~2541518) - Location: Sherwood Park, AB - Photos: 9 - Description: This project involved purchasing and styling of all furnishings. lighting, art and accessories.

Can you give me any information A: This dining set was purchased at Ideal Home Furnishings. **Q: Can you provide product information on the countertops?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The countertop is Denton Entzo. If you look on the Denton Instagram account, they featured this project. It’s stunning and worth every penny. **Q: Nice cozy room! Do you mind telling me what the dimensions are?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Sorry I don't have that information. **Q: Paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the paint color? A: The paint color is Benjamin Moore Deep Secret CSP625 **Q: Cabinetry?** *(in Photo Questions)* Who is the manufacturer of the cabinetry? Thanks A: I'm sorry but I don't have that information anymore. **Q: New sofa purchased! Let's talk window treatments!** *(in Design Dilemma)* Just bought a new soda and love seat over the weekend. Will attach picture of family room with the current furniture. A picture taken in the showroom of the new furniture and a picture of the window. The window is three windows side by side. I currently have three separate blinds. Should I replace with one bigger blind? What about have two small curtain rods positioned higher on the wall for added height? I found two 96" long red velvet panels; what do you think of that? A: Replacing the 3 blinds with one blind running the full width is a more modern look which can be quite nice. I would also replace the existing drapery with drapery panels which can be stationary to save on fabric cost. Having them mounted half way between the window trim and the ceiling will add height to the room and look very smart. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-24.*
