Napanee Design Ltd, has been  owned and operated by Principal Designer, Nina Hamilton for 25 years. 

We are typically known for high end residential but love small projects possibly even more. In these 25 years we have included residences from Edmonton and Calgary to the Gulf Islands and Hawaii and everywhere in between.  From the Cariboo and Whistler to as far south as Palm Desert, our strength is in the wide range of styles that we are able to provide with challenges welcomed.   

Having grown up in the Hospitality Industry it has been Nina’s love of the “people industry” to make commercial spaces as comfortable and easy to enjoy as any luxury private home. Although we have never competed for awards or asked for recognition of our accomplishments, there are many years publications in Canadian and US design magazines – Canadian House and Home, Style at Home, Coastal Living to name a few.  

We like to keep it simple with the understanding that no “designer footprint” ever be present – the spaces we complete should only express the personality of the individual owner but with  certainty of aesthetic, balance and harmony brought by us to that end.  Like any artist, it is our job to reflect the times  and combine audacity and restraint to  evoke individuality and beauty with one brush stroke.
 
Our Mission – Make Beauty a Necessity, Make Necessity Beautiful

**★★★★★ — Hannah McDonald, Oct. 2017**

> Nina has provided complete design advice and services on my last two homes (one condo and one full size detached home). Although I am a fairly easy-going client as far as taking guidance, I gave Nina almost complete discretion over the entire project in both cases and she exceeded me expectations on all fronts, within my budget, and I find the final product non-trendy, classic and very livable - looks i will not need to change anytime soon and which feel like me even though I had minimal participation. For clarity, Nina did request my involvement/input throughout and kept me updated on the overall plan, but I trusted her to make decisions i didn't feel like making and it turned out fantastically.

**★★★★★ — Dawn Hallbauer, Sept. 2017**

> When I think of Nina and her being part of our lives and family, designing our homes the first thought that comes to my mind is that she always listened to what each of us loved and how we lived as a family. Each space she passionately created our lifestyle was always reflected in the beauty of each room. Her knowledge and detail in her designs and her ability to think out of the box is a gift. She has impeccable taste and a flair for mixing fabrics and wallpapers together that gives each room personality, making the space feel warm and inviting. Nina has been our designer on 4 projects 2 houses from the ground to completion. She was always professional working closely with our contractor and tradesman. We knew and felt she would take care of all details big or small. Nina also decorated a condo we brought for our daughter once again she designed and decorated a home on budget that reflected Ainsley's personality as a young professional women. When we sadly decided to sell the condo a few years later Nina created a environment in the home that would reflect what buyers might like. The condo sold in a week and we attribute Nina's expertise in designing that made that happen. We were also thrilled with the price we received. When we do another project and hopefully we will Nina at Napanee Design we'll we our designer. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Nina. She was a joy!

**★★★★★ — Phil Ramsay, Sept. 2016**

> Having worked with Napanee Design on several recent projects, I can say that I'm truly impressed with Nina's vision, sense of style, and dedication to quality. She works with clients to bring out their own style, in a comfortable, unique manner. The smallest touch to an ordinary room makes the world of difference, and Nina does it with such effortless grace that I'm convinced she is a born natural. I cannot recommend her any more. Anyone would be lucky to have this woman work for them!

**★★★★★ — Dea M, Nov. 2015**

> I consider myself lucky to have worked with Nina! She is very talented and easy to work with and was a great help with the transformation of my house.  Nina worked well with my budget and concerns as well as introduced me to pattern and texture. She held my hand when I needed a push and her professionalism and attention to detail never failed to amaze me! I would recommend her to anyone and would love the opportunity to work with her again.

**★★★★★ — Cameron Chell, June 2015**

> We have hired Nina twice and both times our experience has been excellent. From a design and service side Nina not only had incredible insights but also incorporated our input with grace and beautiful tact. It is rare that one comes across a professional that has both the creative brilliance and the tactical execution capability to ensure that a project has great appeal and also gets done on time and on budget.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Backsplash advise** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Making a kitchen with white cabinets, stainless appliances and farmhouse sink and steel gray granite countertops. 
What should I do for a backsplash?

A: Beautiful space so far! When selecting material it would be great to see samples of everything you're planning to install together. I would gather some backsplash and countertop samples and decide from there.

**Q: HELP! Guest Bathroom Vanity COLOR?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

What color vanity should go in the guest bathroom ? Any suggestions? So far it's just:
1\. BLACK
2\. LIGHT brown WOOD (to match ceiling)
3\. DARK brown WOOD (to match trim)

A: Because the room has so much contrast already, it would be nice to bring in a different element/colour to help the bathroom not feel too cold and sterile. A light brown vanity would work well with the space! Some different coloured hardware would look great as accents as well.

**Q: Where to put entrance into house from garage?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I have a home built in 1947 and we are building a garage addition. Our preliminary plans are below and the position of the door from the garage is awkward. Any advice?

A: I would stick with the entrance from the garage to be located somewhere in the kitchen. If you're carrying groceries from your car it'll be a lot easier to set it down immediately in the kitchen after entering the home.
I would personally however add a wall between the counter and the door to create some separation.

**Q: Exterior Ideas for 1960’s Ranch** *(in Home Decorating)*

Looking for ideas for curb appeal for my house. I’d like it to look less plain on the outside with budget friendly ideas.  Thank you.

A: I would add more flowers/various greenery to the landscaping to add a bit more colour. I would also repaint the exterior. You could also paint your front door an interesting colour to help it stand out a bit more!

**Q: Mid Mod Kitchen Remodel Complete!** *(in Before & After)*

With the hanging of pendant lights, the remodel of our 1964 ranch’s kitchen is complete! Basic footprint retained, though new bank of high gloss white cabinets added.  the old honeyoak cabinets from the 1980s were  professionally refaced, and painted.  New floors, new white quartz tops, custom Bluestar range and vent.  I’m in love with the Kartell Fly pendants!

A: Looks beautiful! Love the choice of backsplash!

**Q: refacing red brick fireplace: which tile should i use??** *(in Design Dilemma)*

A: They're all beautiful in terms of finish/pattern. However it may not always look the best if your fireplace looks like it has squared flooring tiling on it. Are these the sizes you'll be using or will they come in more of a large slab? If these are the sizes to be installed I would go with the rectangular option on the left.
