West Wind Design Group

Working with Karen at West WInd Design Group is great! She is extremely organized in her project management. It is very important for the professional painting team to arrive at just the right time in the renovation process. Karen makes this happen each and every time. The end result is a job well done!

I cannot say enough positive things about working with Karen - her ability to read our tastes, save us loads of time by preselecting items and eliminating many paths down which we would not want to go, has saved us a great deal of time and effort, with results that speak for themselves. Karen is very pleasant to work with, has accommodated our busy schedule without complaint, and clearly loves what she does - a real benefit to those, like us, who know what we do not want when we see it, but otherwise are pretty open to suggestion. We have been struck several times with the realization that Karen anticipated matters of which we would have been oblivious - at least until after the renovation, when we would be living with the result. Karen has a real ability to consider practical realities of space and convenience, which she can combine with a design eye that is spot on! We have returned to Karen several times over the past several years - kitchen, then basement, then bathrooms - and have been impressed and pleased each time.

Karen provided design services to us for three projects. The first was our kitchen, second our basement, and thirdly our bathrooms. The renovations were highly customized with Karen finding us unique suppliers from artisans (blacksmith) to speciality wood suppliers for butcher blocks and flooring to commercial quality sinks and high end shower features including steam showers. We didn't want big box store and Karen really delivered. These 3 projects were done over the last 4 years 2011 to 2015. Our basement made it into a magazine spread on the unique renovation. We relied heavily on Karen, gave her lots of discretion and asked her to make it really easy for us. She brought samples to the house for us to choose from, did the shopping for us, it was great. We certainly paid her for her time and expertise and her judgment but it was worth it in every respect. I'm sure that Karen and Westwind design can work to whatever budget one sets but we spared no expense.
