Accessorizing is a service offered to clients by Christie. This is an area where most clients feel they know what they want, but end up struggling greatly. Clients can provide a reasonable accessory budget to Christie, and she can purchase, set and stage everything in place. Accessories do not have to be elaborate or expensive either. If a client wants to scale back, Christie has no problem doing so. For example, this small round bench table came from Target for under $40.

Our clients were face with a problem that we all face at onetime...aging parents. The parents looked at several aging in place living solutions but, it did not feel right. They family came together and decided to add to their home to support their aging in place parents. Joe Dellanno

The best part of this banquette seating is the bookshelf that the customer requested. 2D3D Design, Inc. cleverly took space from a closet behind the wall to inset a custom bookshelf that the customer requested. Because of the lack of space in the kitchen, every inch was important. This solved the problem and created a unique look with inset bookcase and no space removed for seating. The closet behind is still very spacious.

Here's the exterior BEFORE work was done. The jumble of 3 smaller buildings at the back of this Greek Revival 2-family building constituted a separate townhouse. Near the downtown area, expansion space was limited, but the house had real problems for our client, a woman in her 70s - steep interior stairs, low ceilings at 2nd floor, no bathroom on first floor.

Problem: Window casing starting to rot? Left unchecked, it can spread and cause bigger (and more costly) damage. • Solution: We repaired and restored this casing, stopping the rot in its tracks and keeping the window looking great and protected. ✅

Heading off problems so that our clients don't have to worry is a huge part of what we do. This gorgeous tiled backsplash was finished as part of a remodel that PERFECTO! coordinated for absentee owners in a downtown high-rise condo. Initially, the wrong tile was delivered to the jobsite, but because we were there as the eyes of the owner, we immediately caught the mistake and corrected it.

Previously a bluestone patio, over the years water had caused many problems with this entire area. Our solution was to rebuild the patio with a permeable base and collect all the water in a sub-surface drainage system and pipe it away. Don Distel Photography

Previously a utilitarian flat roof was transformed into a large outdoor living area with full kitchen, dining and living areas on two levels. LED outdoor step lights provide a glow at night, as does the new fire pit. The Specstone porcelain floor pavers sit on Bison pedestal supports for drainage and maintenance.

This beautiful North Vancouver home belongs to a nature-loving and health-conscious couple, Emma and Vince (names changed), their two young children, and their dog, Jasper. When they contacted us about renovating and furnishing their kitchen and family room, we walked in and saw a world of potential waiting to be uncovered. Before: Larkhall Crescent Home: Like many original North Vancouver homes, the interior was definitely dated. We encountered late ‘80s finishes in powder pink and teal green, old carpet, and a kitchen that wasn’t maximized to suit this family’s modern-day lifestyle. However, the size of the rooms offered us a ton of space with which to get creative. Knowing our clients’ love of cooking, need for work spaces (Emma and Vince both work remotely), and growing family, we developed a design concept that would increase usable space, optimize storage, and create intimacy in this large area. As for the style, we were inspired by their European roots, inventing a new and modern take on “Belgian Farmhouse” style. Now, the home is truly one-of-a-kind. After: Warm & Cozy Family Room: Fresh, bright, and comfortable, this living area has been transformed! We started with the fireplace as a focal point, selecting aged brick tiles for added texture and a crisp wood mantle. The taupe-coloured sectional infuses the room with visual warmth and serves the added purpose of separating the family room from the kitchen. Emma and Vince were also keen on using non-toxic materials in their home, and we were happy to oblige. To meet their needs, we sourced natural wood elements and sought out Canadian-made products - that adhere to high health standards - whenever possible. Look closer at the elements of this space, and you will find this stunning, honeycomb-patterned rug in earthy gold, beige, and charcoal tones. It’s plush to the touch and full of visual texture that brings this room’s colour palette together. We sourced these two-tone chairs with caning, petrified wood side table, black sconces, and botanical prints in greyscale from local artist, Heather Johnston. We topped off the space with this dark wood and rattan console that offers storage facing the kitchen and presents an opportunity to display cherished items. The result is a cozy lounging space brimming with comfort and functionality. It’s perfect for enjoying quality family time, or Emma can simply slide the coffee table away to make room for her morning yoga practice. Now, let’s turn around and give some attention to the kitchen. Do you remember what the original kitchen looked like? If not, scroll back up, because the transformation is shocking… Moody & Welcoming Kitchen for Healthy Living: This kitchen looks very different from how it started, right? Though we didn’t touch any walls, the kitchen has almost doubled in usable space! We created a long, extended island with storage, an outlet for small appliances, and seating for comfortable prep, after-school snacking, or mingling among friends. On the other side of the island, the family has even more storage and an integrated dishwasher within easy reach of the sink, perfect for quick clean-up. From this angle, you can also see the expansive custom Shaker cabinetry in white and the integrated double ovens. These facilitate their cooking experience and gave us the opportunity to add an additional surprise… A coffee garage station and more hidden storage! Keeping these items located along the perimeter allows them to be accessed by the family or their guests without someone getting under the cook’s feet. These are the little details that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. Moving deeper into the kitchen, the seamless induction cooktop topped with a freestanding concealed hood fan commands attention in a soft yet prominent way. The natural wood accent mirrors the fireplace mantle, and the choice of off-black wood-grain cabinets not only continues our black-and-white colour palette but adds a sense of depth and contrast. The corner sink is located to the right and perfectly positioned with a view of their thriving backyard. To invite more of this family’s character into the space, we mixed metals for interest — matte black, dark pewter, and warm brass — and created open shelves in white oak for their plants and decor. You can also glimpse the tumbled edge of the backsplash tile, which echoes the rustic brick of the fireplace. It adds that farmhouse charm while still feeling timeless and sophisticated. Last but not least, we designed this dining banquette in the bay window (with integrated bench storage, of course), where the family can share a meal together, the kids can do homework, or Emma and Vince can work and enjoy a change of scenery from their offices. Like the other spaces in the home, it was designed to be beautiful, multi-functional, and long-lasting. Praise from Our Clients: It is clear that we love this home, but what did our clients have to say? “Lori is a visionary and masters execution to the finest detail all at the same time. When she first met us to know more about who we are and how we live, she could right away envision how we could use the space in our kitchen and living room…The results exceeded our expectations. Lori and her team were also a delight to work with — coordination with all the trades, fast problem-solving, regular updates, professional and friendly attitude of her entire team — made it the dream team. Thank you SHD for making our space so beautiful!” In turn, we are so grateful for this family’s trust, their open communication, and for being wonderful people with whom to work. (So, thank you!)
