2b VENTURES

Expert advice! And she's creative, too. She gave me an idea for darker, contrasting trim that most designers would never consider. I actually had considered it, but was too scared to try it, and had no idea, absolutely none, of which colour to choose. She had swatches with her and chose one within minutes. It was amazing. She helped with my tile choice too, narrowed it down in a few minutes. I will post pictures when the job is done. Thank you, Sandra!!

We were SO Blessed to have Sandi help us with the Furniture Placement of Our 400 square foot Studio Apartment! I have a real LOVE for Antiques & Vintage Pieces! She has so much insight of what would work better for my Husband and I . We are SO GRATEFUL for her help to make Our Home function better. Would HIGHLY recommend her expertise!

Sandy is absolutely passionate about interior design. When she walked into our house it wasn't more than a few minutes before she identified the walls that we should accent and the colours we should use. We are extremely pleased with the look - it gives our house a "refreshed and refined" look. Thanks very much Sandy!

Sandy is a complete pro and extremely talented. She listened to our needs, and in the end, has helped us transform our home with a few changes, colour selection, and a laundry room redo. I can't believe the difference! Everything looks fabulous! I am not quite finished yet with the paint, but have added a few pictures. Painting the blue was bold and I was a little nervous but it takes my breath away now with how beautiful it looks. Everything is pulled together.

Sandy provided us the perfect visual foundation from which to finish our new home build in the look and feel we were hoping to capture and create. The process of choosing colours, to choosing the right furniture to make the house a home is a daunting task (especially when beginning with a completely blank slate). Sandy's expertise brought a sense of calmness to the process and was key in narrowing the thousands of choices to a manageable list. Now that the home is done, we can honestly say that the vision was captured and created, right down to the small details. The results prove the value in that visual foundation she gave us. New build or renovation, I would recommend adding her eye and expertise to your process especially if you want to create something special. It will make your life easier and the project less stressful.

So pleased! Sandy came to our home to help us lay out furniture and decorate with what we already own as well as plan for what we need to additionally purchase and paint. After a few hours our home was literally transformed and had become stylish and much more inviting and comfortable! And Sandy integrated many pieces of furniture and a large rug into our home design which we did not think we would be able to use. It’s just gorgeous! And now we have a packet from her with mood boards and suggested items, wallpaper swatches and paint chips so we know how to move forward to complete our projects. And she is still available to help us further! But the stunning thing was the incredible transformation that occurred in the span of a couple hours and her amazing ability to choose colours and place furniture and art. Sandy’s services were a valuable investment, and we feel happier and more comfortable in our home now!

We love what 2b Ventures has done for our daughter's bedroom. Sandy listened carefully to what we wanted/desired to create a better layout bedroom. Sandy equipped us strategies for decluttering and worked with our existing furniture/items to help create a beautiful bedroom that is much more functional, organized and above all, beautifully decorated. Best of all, we were able to do under budget. Sharing pictures of before and after the first session (with more sessions to come). Now my daughter loves spending time in her bedroom. Thank you Sandy and 2b Ventures for helping create such an amazing space.

Coming from The Manufacture/Supplier side of the business Sandy is fantastic to work with. Besides being thorough, efficient, great to deal with, she creates beautiful projects & spaces!. Always a pleasure to work with you Sandy.

As a strata manager, it was a pleasure working with Sandy. She was asked to assist with a refurnishing and upgrading project at one of our buildings in Port Coquitlam. This was a 46-unit complex built in 2008, which already started to look obsolete on the interior. The Council of this building wanted to proceed with the painting of the common hallways and carpet replacement. This was the point where our company proposed the involvement of professional designer services, as there was already a history of good cooperation between 2b Ventures and Strataco. Following an onsite inspection, there was a meeting with the council on product consultation, where Sandy presented several color and texture options for both painting and carpeting, along with her recommendations. After the completion of the project, Strataco received a lot of positive feedback from the council and owners for the desginer choice we have made. Last, but not the least, the overall prices for consultation and product recommendation were realistic, helping the entire project stay within the budget brackets. I highly recommend Sandy for her professionalism, style and efficiency. Doina Lucanu Strata Manager Strataco Management Ltd.

Professional and friendly to work with.- paint colours in my townhouse were discussed and different upgrades that can be done.

Sandy Blue, with her extraordinary skills, put my furniture and carpet together in a completely new configuration and it looks amazing. The added bonus is her ability to choose the perfect colour to accent the new arrangement, taking into account my ocean view with its bright light and my art collection. I followed her suggestions and my place looks twice as big with the judicious and creative use of colour on one wall and the valence of the kitchen and the door down the hall. It all works perfectly. It is also important that Sandy has such a positive helping attitude as it is emotionally draining for a homeowner to give up control over something everyone thinks they can do themselves! I highly recommend Sandy.

It was is my pleasure to provide this testimonial for Sandy Blue. She is the essence of professional; honest, honorable, and conscientious in her work. Her talents are many, she is a creative thinker, solution-oriented, and client satisfaction driven. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for any project she accepts and will bring it in on time and on budget.

Sandy was a pleasure to work with. When my husband and I couldn’t agree on the colours for the update to the exterior of our house, We called Sandy. She was able to customize a colour palette specifically for us, incorporating each of our wishes. . It’s so much more than just paint... Sandy helped us turn our tired looking house into a home.

Sandy was a great help with the four-building project in our complex that needed updated carpets and paint. She’s very professional and easy to work with! Her knowledge of design and colour was impressive! I would recommend her for any future projects!

Thank you, Sandy, for transforming my new condo in to my new home. I have to say that every time I come through my front door it's such a good feeling -it just 'feels like home'! When you move into a new home there are so many decisions to make and an overwhelming number of choices. Frankly I was 'stuck' not knowing even where to start. Then I saw your business card on the bulletin board and decided to call you. My only regret is that I didn't call you before I bought any furniture.You came that very day to see my place and listen to what I wanted to accomplish. That two hours was like a whirlwind, with you taking notes, asking questions, arranging furniture and setting the stage for what was to follow. You really LISTENED -and you translated what I said into the design plan. Within two days I had comprehensive written recommendation which I found so helpful; and I appreciated how you met with me to review everything and answer any question I had. Over the years I've traveled to Africa many times, and it was so important to me to have my African artwork displayed. You chose colors that work perfectly with my art and my furniture, chose lighting to complete the look, and arranged electrical and painting contractors to do the work. Once the painting was done you hung all my pictures where they'd look the best -and they look GREAT. I was so happy with her work that I have since had her do a walking tub as well as my laundry room. The end result is great. Thanks Sandy (and Bob)

We hired Sandy to help us design our kitchen and living room renovation. She was great to work with and very informative. She was readily available and gave us great ideas for our new space.

Sandy has a wonderful sense of style and colour! Stylish and welcoming. I strongly recommend her work - you will be happy with it.

When we needed help to get our home in 'show home' shape before our son's wedding, we called Sandy to help. She worked with the items we had, and even included some special furniture and décor pieces I hadn't anticipated being able to use. Sandy helped me choose and shop for accent pieces as well. Simply adding a few new items and rearranging the location and flow of our furniture made all the difference. The staging was quick and the results are amazing! Sandy also helped with choosing the paint color in our son's bedroom to match the renovations. She suggested a color palate I would have never thought of. We are so happy with the process and results and would definitely recommend 2B Ventures to all!

As Sales Manager for a multi-residential developer I’ve been impressed with Sandy’s ability to instantly see how by simply moving a few pieces of furniture or adding a touch of colour you can transform an entire room. An example of this is with a room in one of our sales show suites; where comments from prospective buyers indicated they were having trouble envisioning how they might use a room we had staged as an office. Within minutes, using the existing furniture and décor items she transformed the room so it somehow appeared bigger and more welcoming. What a difference! I’d definitely recommend calling on Sandy to help you solve your design dilemmas.

Sandy is a very professional, knowledgeable and thoughtful decorator. She helped us choose paint colours to visually maximize the size of the rooms and the colour that would best accentuate our decor. She also assisted with selecting the decor to complement the room. Our project was done in a timely and cost effective timeframe.

I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Sandy at 2b Ventures, over the last few years. She has the ability to work with clients on all facets of design, hear their needs, and creatively work within budget. Her creativity in using existing furniture, decor items, etc and creating new looks that blow people away, is always remarkable and greatly appreciated. Without hesitation, I'd highly recommend her for all your design needs.

It is our great pleasure to recommend 2b VENTURES interior design services. Sandy, the owner, worked with us on numerous occasions providing her advice on a wall colour scheme for the whole house. She knew we were working with a tight budget and used her connections and knowledge to secure us high-quality paint. Couple years ago, we built our dream house. Sandy's expertise helped us a lot as she brought many exquisite new design ideas that truly make our house a home. Sandy is very friendly. She has great communication, listening and organizational skills. We loved working with Sandy and we are happy to give her our endorsement.

Enjoyed working together. The finished result was better than we imagined. We were able to use our favorite pieces with new ideas.

Sandy from 2BVentures, introduced us to Color.. the decision to repaint our interior presented quite the challenge.. we had been use to all white walls which were rather boring to say the least and we realized we needed assistance in our decision making... Sandy made the process so easy, picking colors that complimented our artwork and totally changed the mood of the rooms.. without Sandy's impute & guidance, we would never have been comfortable in selecting the paint choices we did .. Thank You 2BVentrues

We’ve known Sandy for many years: she is a brilliant designer and a valuable resource on any project. Over the years we have worked with Sandy on several projects throughout our home, in fact, we have come full circle and are in the process of redoing our kitchen for the second time. We’ve been so pleased with every project, I’m constantly amazed at Sandy’s ability to visualize and incorporate colour, texture, all the details that I myself would never think of, often repurposing items already in the home. Her ability to recall a colour, a tile or a texture from years ago is very impressive. We are very appreciative of all the assistance and advice we’ve received over the years and without hesitation I recommend Sandy and 2bVentures for all your design projects, big or small. You will not be disappointed.

I have had the pleasure of working with2B Ventures on multiple projects. Not only are they easy to work with, but they are professional, competent, communicative and very customer service oriented! This makes our joint projects efficient with successful end results. I look forward to working with 2B Ventures in the future and I highly recommend them.

Since meeting Sandy in 2004 I’ve been amazed to see the way she so easily ‘sizes up’ what needs to be done and how quickly she transforms any room into such a beautiful place to be. I’ve used her services several times in my own home, and recommended her to clients over the years. She listens to what you want to achieve, and works with pieces you have to beautify and enhance any room. I would definitely recommend her.

I have worked with Sandy Blue on multiple projects and highly recommend her services. Her expertise with multiple facets of design - colours, flooring, decor - has helped our customers upgrade their property. More than that, Sandy's a great listener, able to hear our customers' core concerns and present the right design solutions. You will enjoy working with her!
