**★★★★★ — judibluize, Jan. 2014**

> I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Christine. Her fee structure was clearly explained at the very beginning. She listened respectfully and provided me with professional diagrams that reflected my needs. She was open to change and to my suggestions but she was always there to advise throughout the project. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a design professional.

**★★★★★ — delement1, Jan. 2013**

> Christine has a tremendous amount of experience in this industry.  Being knowledgeable in the full range of design possibilities is of utmost importance as there are so many things that can go expensively awry.  She is able to assess and interpret your descriptions of your desires/plans while incorporating form and function aspects which you may not have thought out completely.  In a world of overwhelming potential it's nice to have someone such as Christine to enlighten you to the many possible aspects of both high end and endless quality designs within your budget.
> I highly recommend her professionalism and support.

**★★★★★ — Twin Lions Contracting Ltd., Jan. 2013**

> Working with Christine is an absolute pleasure. Her design eye, and attention to detail are second to none. Her design drawings are clear, concise and have everything a builder/renovator needs to get the job done easily. Christine has a great rapport with clients, relaying her ideas and vision in a way that the clients feel excited and at ease about their project. I would not hesitate to recommend Christine to any of my clients or friends. A great choice for any project.

**★★★★★ — B Stone, Dec. 2012**

  - Description: The clients wanted to bring some of their old cottage styled home with them to their new West Coast Contemporary Home and so the weathered wood coloured floor was the first thing selected for the new space. Knowing there would be alot of light and open space, we chose to go darker on the Kitchen cabinets so we could keep the lines simple in keeping witht the architecture of the house.

  - Location: Vancouver, BC

  - Description: Room Focal point: We repurposed the bed frame by painting it black to match the new side tables, dresser and bench seat that were purchased. I painted the walls in a warm medium off neutral to make the room cozy, reduce the cavern feel of the vaulted ceiling and provide a back drop to show off the gorgeous crystal chandelier. The existing prints worked well with the new scheme, tying together the black and cream furnishings and deeping a bit of lightness to the room.

  - Description: Long and Lean. Kitchen goes from Traditional 80's pink on pink, to a warm, open and airy Modern, with a blend of natural tones. At 9ft. wide x 28 feet long this kitchen is about as narrow as it gets. the Fridge area is only 1 foot 9 inches deeper but it is used up by the extra deep fridge. Not enough room for an Island.

  - Description: Client wanted a clean contemporary interior in her home. The kitchen was to be light and airy and have long lean lines even though it was almost a square floor plan. We accomplished this by keeping the uppers wide and horizontal and playing with contrasting tones along the horizontal planes. The Kitchen was kept in a neutral pallete so the rest of the house could be decorated in colours that could easily be changed should the client want a new look.
