She helped me with some kitchen remodeling. Sheri’s also very prompt about answering your questions. **★★★★★ — Dianne Sudlow-Long, Dec. 2017** > Hiring Sheri was the best investment I could have made in my house "update". I had problems coming up with paint colours and a plan of how much to spend on updating our home and how far to make changes as we don't know how much longer we will live here and wanted to make sure every dollar we spend would give us the best bang for our buck. Working with Sheri was very easy and we now have a plan (and paint colours!) that will let us do things at our own pace but keep things moving forward. Thanks Sheri! **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > You are so welcome Dianne! I am glad that we could create a plan moving forward for you and your family! **★★★★★ — Noreen Ward, Dec. 2017** > Hiring Sheri from Get It Together to consult on the design of a kitchen, the selection of colors, lighting, backsplash and more was a WISE decision for our rental property project. Not only was she easy to work with and had excellent suggestions but hiring her bred confidence in an area that we have zero expertise and would certainly have wasted a lot of precious time if we were left to make the decision decisions ourselves. Thanks Sheri! The space looks incredible and the tenants LOVE it. **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > Thank you so much Noreen and Darren! I was thrilled to hear how quickly your suite rented out! Wishing you all the best with your new investment property. **★★★★★ — Kari Shandley, Oct. 2017** > Sheri is not only an expert in what she does but meets the needs of her clients in just a personable way. Whether the job feels tedious or overwhelming, she simplifies and sets out a plan. I've hired Sheri for organization and it's been an excellent experience. We just recently hired Sheri to guide us in creating a new colour palate for our home. She had all the tools with her, it was great to have expert advice. In an hour we chose colours and felt so relieved and excited at our next step in painting. The painting project is now worry-free and we get to be excited about the outcome. Thank you Sheri. You are amazing! **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > Thank you so much Kari! I'm sure you and your family will create wonderful memories in your new home! Wishing you all the best. **★★★★★ — Denise Kinghorn, Sept. 2017** > Sheri was so incredibly patient with us throughout the entire process. Sheri ensured that she understood exactly what we were looking for and guided us through the many decisions that needed to be made. Having her manage the renovation from design through to completion was invaluable as she managed the timeline and most of the trades. It was especially critical to have Sheri's help when our renovation hit a snag and Sheri ensured that we still ended up with the home of our dreams without compromising. Thank you Sheri. We absolutely could not have done this without you. **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > Thank you so much Denise and Sheldon! Enjoy your new space. **★★★★★ — Danna McLeod, Sept. 2017** > Don and I are hopeless when it comes to envisioning colors, fabrics and furniture selection for our home interior. In the past we tended to order what we could see on the showroom floor. When we bought our newly renovated house we knew we desperately needed help in making our new home warm and inviting. Through our search on Houzz for a decorating professional, we selected Sheri largely based on the encouraging testimonials about her professionalism, design and decorating knowledge, colour expertise, positive client relationships and ability to work to a budget. We met Sheri and instantly knew she was a lady we could work with and also have some fun in the process! We had a long timeline for possession of our home but were going to be away for 3 months of critical timing. We needed to make some initial furniture, fabric and colour choices for custom ordering lead times. Sheri made herself available to us at all hours during our early crunch time to get to know us, our desires and personal style. She has an amazing architectural computer program in which she entered our floor plan. We were able to load it onto our lap top and take it with us – what a fabulous tool! Sheri selected furniture, fabric options and colour choices which we could see in 3D imaging so we were able to make many of our decisions from afar. Sheri listened to what we envisioned and worked along side us to assist in all our choices and made smart recommendations not only to suit our taste, but also for our budget dollars. As our project manager, Sheri suggested a number of trades and suppliers she had worked with, who all did outstanding work. When there were some glitches (as appears to happen with a renovation) Sheri was on site and resolved the issue(s) in a timely manner. Sheri is warm, easy going, friendly and seemingly unflappable. We loved working with Sheri and are thrilled with the results in our new home. We would highly recommend Sheri for any decorating, design or renovation projects. Thank you Sheri! Danna and Don McLeod **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > Thank you so much Danna and Don! I loved working with you (both here in Calgary and virtually while you were away)! I am so happy that you are thrilled with the outcome and I know that many memories will be made in your new home. **★★★★★ — Budget Blinds of SE Calgary, April 2017** > Sheri and I have been working closely together on projects over the last couple of years. She is very energetic and and does an excellent job communicating with clients and supporting trades, regarding status of the project. I refer her to my clients whenever I can. **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > Thank you Cliff! I enjoy working with you as well. I appreciate your honesty with my clients as well as your suggestions. **★★★★★ — paw317, March 2017** > Sheri was the best money we spent on our reno's. She guided us thru the process listening and working with us to get what we wanted. Always calm, collected and organized, which was so important to us. She's aware of costs, giving you choices allowing us to be more in control. A pleasure to work with her. Positive, proactive, professional and a sence of humour. Thanks Sheri love what we've done. **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > That is so great to hear! I appreciate the feedback and am thrilled to know you are happy. **★★★★★ — Linda Kostel, Jan. 2017** > I had an amazing experience with Sheri from Get It Together. I knew without a doubt that Sheri and her team were professional, cheerful , had a great attitude and that my kitchen Reno was in good hands. Sheri's expertise and knowledge transformed my dated kitchen into a modern, beautiful and classic kitchen that suited my style and home. Past Reno's prompted me to tears, this one was tears of joy without disasters. The end result is a stunning, functional, well organized bright kitchen. The positive compliments from my friends and family are endless. Lastly we stayed within budget and deadlines. > > Sheri was recommended to me through good friends and I would not hesitate to recommend Sheri for any future renovation requirements **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > Thank you so much Linda! I really enjoyed our journey together (and all the laughs). I am thrilled that your experience with my team was a wonderful one (tears of joy)! **★★★★ — Diane S, Jan. 2017** > Sheri did an amazing job involving many trades and many design revisions. The project was finished in September 2016 and Sheri was instrumental to getting it done. We had a number of elements in the home that were upgraded at the same time and Sheri juggled everything with a smile. **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed your experience with me. **★★★★★ — HU-18532, May 2016** > We hired a trade’s person to coordinate our bathroom renovation, but soon discovered that we needed the help of a designer as nothing we could buy from the box stores would fit. The bathroom was a mass of angled walls that became difficult to work with. Sheri called it the wonky bathroom. We hired Sheri to prepare a design for us and to pick out the fixtures. She did a marvelous job at designing a functional bathroom that accommodated the complex layout and choose the colours and fixtures that complemented it. Throughout this project she kept us informed of any cost variances for the supplies she acquired. Like any renovation problems did arise, however Sheri was always on top of these to get them rectified and ensure the trades’ people delivered. She is very professional and committed to her clients. We would use Sheri again and highly recommend her for any type of renovation project. **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > Thank you so much Jim and Marilyn. I had such a great time working with you and glad you love your new space! **★★★★★ — Tracy Korpi, March 2016** > Sheri was everything we were looking for! Not only did she design our kitchen, she was the Project manager. She listened to exactly what we wanted, and she made solid recommendations. The results speak for themselves. Our kitchen is Gorgeous! > We found Sheri to be very easy to talk to. Very professional and respectful of our time as we lead a busy life. My husband talks about value in everything we do, and the Value we received from Sheri, for the work that she did was outstanding. We honestly don't think she charged enough for her services. We are already talking about our next "Project" and we definitely use her again! Thank you Sheri. **Comment from Get It Together Inc.:** > Thank you so much Tracy! I really enjoyed working with you and getting you your kitchen of your dreams! I truly appreciate your comments and look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks again! ## Selected projects - [McKenzie Lake Main Floor and Full Basement Development](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mckenzie-lake-main-floor-and-full-basement-development-pj-vj~1581172) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 15 - Description: This project I called, 'Fresh Start' for a couple of reasons. The entire home received some kind of renovation or refresh. The top floor received all new wall colours, all new carpet, and all new baseboards and handles (for the doors). The entire main floor was renovated to include a newly designed kitchen, hand scraped hardwood floor, tile floor in the boot room, new paint, new lighting, new baseboards, etc. The basement had a full development which has added additional square footage for this… - [Foothills: Rustic Dreams](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/foothills-rustic-dreams-pj-vj~2701539) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: This home went through a massive change. What was once filled with builder grade materials (cheap cabinets, dated counters, bronze hardware, linoleum flooring, etc) is now a rustic dream for my clients. There was only one half-wall that was removed so the kitchen layout did not change drastically. The biggest change was removing the half-wall to make room for a much larger island. Although there is really only seating for two, every side of the island has pull out drawers to maximize the space o… - [Heritage Pointe: From Cool to Warm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heritage-pointe-from-cool-to-warm-pj-vj~2669084) - Location: De Winton, AB - Photos: 18 - Description: When my clients purchased this home, it was decorated with cool colours and had a very industrial feel. The transformation from cool to warm included the addition of the following: - Custom built-in cabinets for the Living Room designed by myself and built by Casa Flores Custom Cabinetry. - Custom sofa with custom toss cushions. - Custom leather recliners. - Custom accent chairs with custom pillows. - Addition of area rugs (3). - Custom coffee table. - New side table. - Custom dining room chairs… - [Silver Springs: Reach for the Sky Main Floor Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/silver-springs-reach-for-the-sky-main-floor-renovation-pj-vj~2566545) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 33 - Description: When this project started there was no plan to vault the ceiling. Once the ceiling did come down to open up the space by taking out 2 walls, it was clear to my clients they wished to add the vault to this project. From adding a Butler's Pantry, to the new vault, to taking out 2 walls, there were many facets of this main floor renovation that took a very closed in four-level split to an open concept home. - [Coach Hill: All I Want For Christmas Santa is a New Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coach-hill-all-i-want-for-christmas-santa-is-a-new-kitchen-pj-vj~2252258) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 26 - Description: This is exactly what my client got for Christmas this past year! In 4.5 weeks, we went from a dated kitchen to a new, fresh look. While the template did not change as no walls were removed, the function of this kitchen did. - [Honey I'm Gone: McKenzie Lake Honey Oak Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/honey-i-m-gone-mckenzie-lake-honey-oak-transformation-pj-vj~2140761) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 45 - Description: This entire home has gone through a major transformation going from honey oak to warm and creamy. While the entire kitchen was removed and a new design and cabinets were installed, all of the other honey oak was able to be saved and painted. This allowed us to keep with the style of the home yet in the same breath, allowed us to totally update this home. - [Cochrane Villa Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cochrane-villa-remodel-pj-vj~1546203) - Location: Cochrane, AB - Photos: 19 - Description: This was such a joy to work on! My clients hired me after they agreed to work with their a kitchen cabinet company they had already agreed to work with. I worked with my clients on the kitchen design, as well as selecting all of the finishings for this villa remodel (flooring, counters, all tile, interior paint, faucets, etc.). While they did most of the work themselves, they did have help with some of the major installation (flooring, glass panel railing, and tiling). - [Lake Sundance Bathroom Transformations: Powder Room & Main Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-sundance-bathroom-transformations-powder-room-and-main-bath-pj-vj~1659283) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 13 - Description: These two bathroom transformations are part of a multi-phase project this home will be receiving. Phase One included the main bathroom and the powder room. Phase Two will consist of the entire main floor (including the kitchen) and Phase Three will consist of the upper floor including a master bath renovation and staircase refresh. - [Chestemere Kitchen Transformation: From Drab to Fab](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chestemere-kitchen-transformation-from-drab-to-fab-pj-vj~1644644) - Location: Chestermere, AB - Photos: 17 - Description: My clients had a dark and dated kitchen that had a combination of maple and oak cabinets! Their desire was to have a white kitchen. As the flooring was is great condition, the decision was made to keep the floor. That meant the layout of the new kitchen needed to be the same. The significant changes to this kitchen are the new, white cabinets, new quartz counters, new sink and new faucet. The old island sink was removed and the island was reconfigured to get the maximum storage out of it. The de… - [Silversprings Master Bath: From Wonky to Wonderful](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/silversprings-master-bath-from-wonky-to-wonderful-pj-vj~1739155) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 12 - Description: This master bath is only 55 square feet. The old bathroom didn't utilize every space that could be used. With a budget that my clients did not wish to go over, there were a few compromises. A new, larger custom shower was installed, a new toilet and newly designed vanity were installed. To keep the cost down, a luxury laminate counter was installed along with a self rimming sink. This entire space went from wonky to wonderful! - [Springbank Hill Master Bathroom Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/springbank-hill-master-bathroom-renovation-pj-vj~1377442) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 8 - Description: This family was looking for a master bathroom refresh by removing the large corner bath, enlarging the shower and increasing their storage space. - [Lake Chaparral White Kitchen Renovation Calgary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-chaparral-white-kitchen-renovation-calgary-pj-vj~1221401) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 22 - Description: This main floor has had a total makeover. The entire main floor has hand scraped hardwood installed. The entire kitchen was torn out (including the corner pantry) and replaced with white kitchen cabinets and two tall pantries. Every lower base cabinet has pull out drawers for ease and function. Quartz counters and a white subway tile backsplash were used for this white kitchen. The island was redesigned and the entire main floor was repainted. To customize this Ikea kitchen, custom pulls and kno… - [Lake Chaparral Laundry Room and Mud Room Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-chaparral-laundry-room-and-mud-room-makeover-pj-vj~1374748) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 6 - Description: This family was looking for a way to reconfigure their laundry room that also happens to be their boot room. Utilizing IKEA cabinets I used the vertical space to its maximum. Now, this family has more than enough storage, and a place for all of their kids hats, mitts, boots, etc - [Willow Park Full Townhouse Renovation Calgary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/willow-park-full-townhouse-renovation-calgary-pj-vj~693005) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 21 - Description: This townhouse underwent a 90% renovation (excluding the main floor powder room, main bath and ensuite).

The family room and dining room had all new paint, a reconfiguration of the mantle to accommodate the television above… - [Somerset Main and Ensuite Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/somerset-main-and-ensuite-renovation-pj-vj~1527623) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 5 - Description: This was a project that I chose the finishings for. My clients carried out the majority of the work themselves. Working with the existing bossy coloured cabinets (with a very strong orange undertone) was the key to both of these spaces. - [Scenic Acres: Master Bathroom Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scenic-acres-master-bathroom-renovation-pj-vj~2115352) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 15 - Description: This master bathroom renovation was created and designed specifically for my clients who have no intention of selling any time soon. As such, we looked at all of the wishes, wants and needs for this space. The result was the decision of going from a double sink vanity to a single sink vanity to make room for a larger shower. My clients do not get ready for work at the same time so the compromise to go to a single sink vanity was one that would be very functional for them. - [Tuscany Home Office ReDesign](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tuscany-home-office-redesign-pj-vj~497963) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Mapleridge Basement Renovation Calgary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mapleridge-basement-renovation-calgary-pj-vj~1051138) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - Description: This family was looking for a newly designed basement that was functional and family friendly.

Is it by any chance either SW Cityscape or SW Grizzle Gray? Thank you! A: For sure. The island colour is SW Grizzle Gray, **Q: Best gray/blue/green paint for a carrara marble bathroom?** *(in Design Dilemma)* My painters are ready to paint the walls in new master bath -- cabinets and trim are white; floors, countertops, and all tiling are carrara. Adjoining bedroom is "Crystalline" by Benjamin Moore; the light in this house is tinging the paint quite greener than I'd anticipated. It's very pretty but I thought it would run more blue. Looking for a pale paint for the bathroom that will complement (or at least not clash) with the bedroom paint. Top choices are Quiet Moments (perhaps at 50%) and Pale Smoke. I feel like a bluer-gray will complement the gray carrara more than a greener-gray. Anyone have a great paint for a carrara bath to suggest? Nothing dark :-) A: Have you looked at Benjamin Moore Horizon 1478 **Q: What color are the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Samantha. This kitchen is from my clients from last year and I have those files stored off site. I believe they are Benjamin Moore White Dove. **Q: Bedroom Light Fixture** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hello Houzz, I am looking to install lights in my bedrooms and was wondering if these semi-flush mounts go well with bedrooms. If so, Would you rather "warm white" or "cool white" for the bedroom? Much thanks!! A: I would suggest warm white for a bedroom. **Q: Updating room toward open concept** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are planning to update this room by removing the bookcase wall, lowering trusses and installing new cabinets in the kitchen. I would like to keep it cozy and maybe keep the barnboard walls in the family area. I am not a fan of all white (as you can see in the picture) but would like painted kitchen cabinets (white or cream paint). I need some good sound advice about colors for this room. Thanks for your time and suggestions. A: Is your flooring going to change? Right now, your home looks like it falls into the cream foundation palette (warm and cosy). Your carpet looks like it is already cream. A nice creamy white for the cabinets. Here's a cream kitchen to give you an idea. **Q: Advice on painting kitchen cabinets** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are contemplating painting our maple kitchen cabinets white. Any advice on your pros and cons on painting is appreciated. When you paint cabinets does it require a lot of upkeep down the road? Am I going to have to repaint in a few years due to wear and tear? Is is worth having them painted by professionals? (I.e. paint job will last longer) A: I totally agree with the above comment. Start with quotes from painters and ask them their process. What do they do to prepare the cabinets, what paint do they suggest, etc. Although there are many pictures on Pinterest that show painted kitchen cabinets, what they don't show is the fine detail (or a close up) of those cabinets. I have had cabinets sprayed before for clients and there is a lot of prep work involved prior to spraying. They do turn out fantastic and are a great way to update without refacing or replacing the cabinets. Wishing you luck! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-16.*
