Designs by TAP

We worked with Teresa for the first time recently and were very impressed. Our clients home looked and felt warm, comfortable, and inviting - truly a designed interior. It didn't look staged, it looked as if someone with impeccable taste loved this home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TAP.

Great taste, great ideas, professional and created a wow feeling that helped sell our home in three days at full price!!

I am very pleased with the job done recently to stage my home for sale. Teresa had very good ideas and yet was quite open to listening to mine. Together we had the home looking comfortable yet not cluttered. The house sold in one day.

Teresa at TAP Designs has an amazing talent and made my home look elegant and simple before selling. I recommend Teresa and her ability to create a warm inviting atmosphere that will with no doubt help sell your home quickly.

Teresa guided us through this home renovation. She understood the vision I had and ensured the products and colours chosen were good quality, complementary and economical. Teresa was a calm and professional voice when the reno felt stressful. She was a hands-on designer who completed some of the project herself. I highly recommend Teresa and LOVE my new bathroom/master bedroom!

Teresa designed and coordinated a lighting project. We are pleased with the finished work, which was completed under Teresa's supervision, while we were away. Teresa worked well with the trades people involved. She was knowledgeable about the amount of work and costs involved. Without Teresa's leadership we do not believe that the project would have been completed in a timely fashion. She proved to be economical in her approach, flexible in her planning and followed through on her committments. We have received much positive feedback from disinterested third parties.

We had a wonderful experience working with Theresa when she staged our home for sale . She is highly skilled and most professional . We wished we had worked with her sooner to show us just how great our small space could look . I would not hesitate to give her our strongest reccomendation .

We used Teresa's services to stage our home. Teresa is really really good at what she does! We were selling our little upgraded cabin which had a lot of underlying charm and character. She brought out the potential so that it went from kinda cute to irresistibly charming. We moved furniture around, edited some things, added beautiful things, etc, to create a feel, a sense of harmony, and to make the home that much more inviting. She also transformed entrance on the outside with beautiful potted plants. Teresa then redid the photos for our listing. In this day and age, I find the listing photos to be super important. She is a very practical problem solver, and has strong artistic ability. I felt so proud of our home when we were selling it. We had the ability to be a little choosy with the offers and we sold quickly, at the price we wanted! How good is that.

Teresa did a spectacular job with our yard. She took it from a total wasteland of struggling plants and overgrown groundcover to a lovely oasis of texture, blooms and green. She was happy to have us working alongside of her during the grunt work and answering all my horticultural questions. I learned a great deal from her. We didn’t particularly have a vision, so she worked with what we had and encouraged us to move plants instead of just ripping them out, re use brick from a failed past project and took a severely underused portion of the backyard (under the deck) and turned it into functional storage that looks great. Her suggestions of workable plants, trees and shrubbery were complementary, hardy, easy to maintain, yet beautiful to look at and work within. I was thrilled when, this past Spring, everything we had accomplished with this yard renovation came springing back to life..lush and happy! I would work with her again in a heartbeat. She is down to earth, practical and very knowledgeable. Our experience was fantastic, affordable, finished on time and on budget!! -The Haytons, Courtenay BC

Teresa was inspirational when I completed installation of my new kitchen and needed to add a back splash. The country feel of my kitchen needed the right touch. She worked with me to find the right tile at the right price and then completed the installation quickly so my family could enjoy our new kitchen. Great Job Teresa. Thank you for all you help.

Teresa totally transformed out home using our furnishings and artwork while adding finishing touches that took it all to a totally different level. It was great to work with such a talented professional.

I highly recommend Teresa for anyone looking to do home renovations and interiors styling. Teresa is a skilled problem-solver, and her work ethic is incredible. She is 100% reliable, and delivers real value for money. Teresa has done a number of small projects for me: a small kitchen constructed from reclaimed materials (my choice), the design and installation of kitchen carpentry to maximize storage space, inset track and other lighting in several places in my home, plumbing fixtures, etc.. Teresa has the ability to visualize viable options in a constrained space - I won't hesitate to use her ongoing.
