With her incredible sense of style and ability to interpret our vision, she made the intimidating task of remodeling our fireplace easy and fun! Would highly recommend! **Comment from Christine Coder Design:** > Thank you Jennifer! I so appreciate the review. I hope you are enjoying your space with the new fireplace, backsplash and beam. **★★★★★ — Richard James, Oct. 2024** > Having to decide that I needed a designer came down to two simple things. Coming to the realization that I am not an expert in design, and I pretty much depend on experts to do my taxes, dentistry, car repair and so on. So why should this be any different? The second thing is that if I choose wisely and (love it) it will likely save me money not having to buy things twice because I didn't pick wisely the first time. Christine Coder has exceeded our expectation in her helping us choose just the right pieces and colors for our newly remodeled space. While Christine Coder is based in Bellingham WA, she has an extensive network of contacts in Canada that can help you take advantage of the Canadian exchange. I would and have recommended Christine Coder as a design professional. **★★★★★ — Rita Jefferson, Oct. 2024** > Last year had the pleasure of working with Christine Coder on my house renovation project, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, Christine demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. > > Christine took the time to understand my vision and preferences, and she seamlessly incorporated them into a cohesive and modern, coastal, stylish design. Her ability to blend functionality with aesthetics is truly remarkable. She provided innovative solutions to maximize space and enhance the overall flow of my home. > > Throughout the project, Christine was always available to answer questions and provide updates. Her communication skills are excellent, and she made sure I was informed and comfortable with every decision. She also managed the project timeline and budget efficiently, ensuring everything was completed on schedule and within the agreed-upon budget. > > The end result exceeded my expectations. My home now feels more spacious, modern, and inviting, thanks to Christine’s expertise. I highly recommend Christine Coder to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated interior designer. She has a keen eye for design and a genuine passion for her work, making her a joy to work with. > > Thank you, Christine, for transforming my house into a beautiful and functional home! > > Feel free to adjust any part of this review to better reflect your experience. How does this draft lo **Comment from Christine Coder Design:** > Thank you so much Rita! I am so excited to see you in your new home! **★★★★★ — Andrea MB, Aug. 2024** > Christine is so easy to work with and asks all the right questions to get you the space you dream of! We were combining a number of styles and looks, and she was able to make them all come together beautifully. She has an amazing knack for understanding what you're looking for, nudges you in a few different directions and gives wonderful suggestions. The result is a space that feels like its your own, and you immediately feel comfortable in it. What more could one ask for in a designer?! Meeting and hiring Christine is 100% the best thing that happened for our huge renovation project and I shudder to think what things would look like without her gentle creativity. > > Christine took our ideas and made them just that little bit better. It was really fun to work with someone so enthusiastic and talented! **Comment from Christine Coder Design:** > Thank you so much Andrea! That is just the kind of service I strive to deliver. I so appreciate the review **★★★★★ — Susan Reece, Aug. 2024** > Christine has beautiful taste and amazing patience. Ours is an open floor plan on the main floor. She helped us make a calm, coherent space. She understood the feel and polished aesthetic we were hoping to achieve. From that she found dramatic yet understated fabric to serve as the organizing theme for furniture, ordered furniture pieces, commissioned a dining room table, consulted on paint colors for cabinets, kept me from going off the rails with my errant ideas, etc. She continues to work with us on an on-going basis--we are currently selecting new carpet. In addition to her professional skills, Christine laughs easily and is delightful to be around. **Comment from Christine Coder Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind words Susan! I am so happy we can continue to work together. I look forward to seeing the house with new carpet. **★★★★★ — Jiasong & Frank Yuen James, April 2023** > Christine helped us with our new construction pretty much through the whole year of 2022. We found her after working with another designer for a while who didn't work out. Christine was able to jump in and guide us through many difficult decisions, sometimes on very short notice. She's a great listener and has the knack of navigating us through many disagreements between me and my husband and helping us come up with solutions that we're both happy with. She understood our vision, and instead of just doing all the work and come up with her design, she involved us every step of the way and encouraged us to come up with our own design ideas. I feel like I learned a lot about interior design this last year from Christine, something I knew nothing about before this project. She's very responsive and efficient, and most of all a genuinely nice and caring person. Thank you for all your help in creating our new home! **Comment from Christine Coder Design:** > Hi Jiasong! Its been a crazy year and I do feel awful about not replying publicly to your great review! It was a pleasure working with you. As you learned much about design I learned about new ways of looking at things to have your project work. Its the best working relationship. Looking forward to catching up next month! **★★★★★ — Suzanne Wright, April 2019** > Wow, where do we begin? Christine was the 3rd designer we contacted and from the first meeting, we knew we'd found someone who "got it", she knew what we wanted to do. Her vision was spot on with what we thought we wanted, and she was able to take it to an even higher level. Our goal was to allow us to "Age in Place" / Universal Design...she got that. We wanted the remodel to be as organic as possible- she got that as well. We discussed what we liked, what we didn't like, how we work in the kitchen, how we love live edge wood and natural products... the list goes on. > > She helped us select our contractor (that was a huge undertaking and CB Premier was amazing). She was there when we needed her but if we wanted to "do it on our own" she was fine with that as well. She's a rarity among designer in that it's not her way or the highway, she was forever reminding us that it's our house, we need to ultimately make the decisions. > > Her billing is easy to understand and I'll say that even though we knew we would need a designer to get us where we wanted to go, we weren't at all sure if we'd feel it was worth the expense...it definitely was! > > After 8 months, we have a house that is nothing short of WOW and while it was definitely a team effort, Christine got the ball rolling, kept us on track, and took our ugly 1978 1.5 story house to a dream home that is somewhere between mid-century modern and contemporary with an Asian twist! > > Thank you Christine...you're amazing! If anyone has the opportunity to work with her-take it! **Comment from Christine Coder Design:** > Thank you so much Suzanne! Working with someone who knows what they want makes things so much easier. You and Mike, like many clients have become sweet friends. > > Christine **★★★★★ — Lisa Chovil, Dec. 2017** > Christine is more than a designer! She helped transform our 1977 house into an amazing piece of modern architecture. She was there by our side to help choose a contractor and has worked her magic with every step of the process. The crew loves her as much as we do. They respect her knowledge and her suggestions. Christine’s experience has made this renovation easier than I thought it would be. She has impeccable taste but listens closely to our need to stay within budget. We highly recommend a meeting with her. You’ll want to keep her! **★★★★★ — Denise McCoy, Dec. 2017** > Christine is wonderful to work with! She is professional, creative, artistic and well grounded. She listens well to how the space is used and is able to help land the vision practically. She is easy to talk to and is very good at her job. She helped me think through the entirety of my home and came up with great solutions for storage, organization and aesthetics. I can't recommend her enough! **★★★★★ — Heather Gates, Dec. 2017** > Working with Christine is a real treat! She has an ability to evaluate your needs and tastes and to interpret them into a finished project that you will love ! She is very skilled in assessing space and convenience. She has helped us with renovating an ensuite bathroom, and more recently a kitchen. Both jobs met all of our expectations. **Comment from Christine Coder Design:** > Thank you Heather! I am looking forward to working with your daughter and her family on her project, its so fun to get to know your family. Thank you for the referral! **★★★★★ — Nuha Habib, Dec. 2017** > Christine Coder helped us do a complete condo remodel. She took our needs, budget, and vision and wove them into her expertise, vision, and magic to create a beautiful and comfortable home just as she promised. She genuinely cares about her clients on the professional and personal level. We love her, loved working with her, and love our new home. Thank you, Christine! **Comment from Christine Coder Design:** > You are so welcome! I am so lucky to have clients that are as easy to work with. This project reminded me once again how much I love getting to know people through my work with them. Nuha and her husband Izzy are truly wonderful people. **★★★★★ — Moceri Construction, Dec. 2017** > We at Moceri Construction have loved working with Christine. She is an incredible team player not only while working with our company, but also with the homeowners. She is knowledgeable in her field and very professional, but also a lot of fun to collaborate with! **Comment from Christine Coder Design:** > Thank you Dominic! > It was very rewarding to work with your team. The execution was timely and beautiful. I always felt like you had the end result in mind and were thoughtful in each step. ## Selected projects - [Upcoming seminar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upcoming-seminar-pj-vj~7503244) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Dundarave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dundarave-pj-vj~7428686) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [North Delta](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-delta-pj-vj~7437553) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Edgemoore](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edgemoore-pj-vj~7437541) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Luxury Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-townhouse-pj-vj~7039522) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Meet Christine](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meet-christine-pj-vj~7041715) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Midcentury Dream](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/midcentury-dream-pj-vj~7039526) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Bellevue Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bellevue-project-pj-vj~2113906) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 7 - [Vital Body](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vital-body-pj-vj~7039519) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Virgin Hotel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/virgin-hotel-pj-vj~7039521) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Day with a Designer](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/day-with-a-designer-pj-vj~7039537) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Vancouver Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vancouver-townhouse-pj-vj~7039525) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Textures](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/textures-pj-vj~7039524) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Kitchen Glam](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-glam-pj-vj~1636559) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 6 - [Various Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/various-projects-pj-vj~2052398) - Location: Bellingham, WA - Photos: 9 [See all 15 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/christine-coder-design-pfvwus-pf~1737630888) ## Ideabooks - [Allen Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/183324130/list/allen-exterior) — 3 ideas - [Taylor kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/182873069/list/taylor-kitchen) — 3 ideas - [First Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/178525713/list/first-cottage) — 6 ideas - [hood and island](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/178112511/list/hood-and-island) — 2 ideas - [oak and white](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/175635348/list/oak-and-white) — 1 idea - [Guay Club Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/173712793/list/guay-club-room) — 13 ideas - [New Klassen Carson](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/171600962/list/new-klassen-carson) — 2 ideas - [Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/168188183/list/bedroom) — 4 ideas - [Jefferson](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/166129381/list/jefferson) — 1 idea - [Less expensive to paint the wood on the ceiling?](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/165441075/list/less-expensive-to-paint-the-wood-on-the-ceiling) — 3 ideas - [Roof Lines](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/165170833/list/roof-lines) — 1 idea - [Kennedy](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/165169980/list/kennedy) — 19 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/158548436/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas - [George Boulos](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/157856343/list/george-boulos) — 17 ideas - [Kramer Door Styles](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/152303907/list/kramer-door-styles) — 4 ideas - [kramer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/151913184/list/kramer) — 2 ideas - [Sauna](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/137387732/list/sauna) — 1 idea - [Berry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/132897364/list/berry) — 7 ideas - [Bradley](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/129987739/list/bradley) — 99 ideas - [Palms1](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/125168450/list/palms1) — 13 ideas [See all 43 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/christinecoder) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
