Kathy Dickinson Townhouse Refresh
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars
We hired Lael to do a refresh on our townhouse for the purposes of resale.
Lael was excellent at pinpointing the areas that required upgrading and that would provide the most impact.
Her eye for color, design and budget are excellent and she was always open to my ideas, needs and concerns.
I would recommend Lael to anyone who is looking for a professional and personable designer who has great design skills.
I will be looking to hire Lael again when we downsize into a smaller home.

This designer has exceptional vision and a true eye for style. She demonstrates a unique ability to conceptualize your wishes and find exceptionally creative solutions for complex design problems. Her guidance and management of her highly skilled team was evident at every stage of the project. Our renovation of two main bathrooms was started before and accomplished during the Covid pandemic. This was a difficult challenge given the necessary function of these spaces. Lael and her team provided great peace of mind, were able to make many accommodations and adjustments to their schedules to adhere to all required public health guidelines. The final products are truly outstanding!
Many, many thanks!

Lael has a true talent for bringing life and vibrancy to any space. I have enjoyed working with her and her team to bring several projects back from the brink of mediocrity. Her eye for detail is sharp and her drive for excellence is appreciated.

We started working with Lael before the purchase of our house closed in 2018. She helped us visualize the potential and hit the ground running before we moved in. Lael has worked with us on a wide range of projects from major renovations to lighting and wallpaper etc. She is decisive yet always provides a range of ideas, and she is creative yet practical given she understands our lifestyle and our desire to work around pieces we love.
Lael has a good group of tradesmen who are reliable and courteous and we always enjoy working with her team. We know we can call her about any issue related to our home and she always finds a solution. We would not hesitate to recommend her highly and plan to continue to work with her on future projects.

Lael is an exceptional combination of a creative thinking designer who encourage her clients to think outside of their own comfort zone AND has the organization to manage the project from conception to completion. The result is a fun, smooth process that reaps spaces and homes that fit her clients so well and yet are nothing they would have ever thought of on their own. I’m constantly dreaming up projects just for us to get a chance to work together!

Comment from Lael O'Brien Design:
Many thanks, Cali; it's really all about the client and you are amazing to work with!
I worked with Lael on my kitchen project few years ago and she did a spectacular job in all her design ideas. To this day, I’m so grateful for her amazing and creative ideas.
Lael has wonderful creativity and possesses great taste in color pallets. On another occasion of choosing exterior house color, she put together 3 different color palette that looks so phenomenal and chic. I have gotten complements by neighbors about our house color, and our kitchen redesign.
If you’re looking for a interior designer in West Vancouver/North Vancouver, I would highly recommend Lael. She has the ability to bring both beauty and function to a space. I would definitely use Lael in any future interior designs.

It was a real pleasure working with Lael. She is professional, responsive and has a wonderful eye for design. It was my first time doing any sort of renovation. Working with Lael provided me with a great deal of comfort in undertaking a complete bathroom renovation. From the first meeting she understood what I wanted to achieve. With her knowledge and vision she transformed a cookie cutter bathroom into a bathroom with the 'wow' factor. The work done by all the trades involved in the renovation was excellent. The tradesmen were extremely professional at all times. Lael kept me up to date on progress every step of the way. I am absolutely delighted with my new bathroom and would highly recommend Lael O'Brien Design.

Lael designed and managed a complete bathroom renovation with many structural challenges. The project was delivered on time and beautifully. She took the time to get to learn what my desires were for the project and respected these, but still added her skills and creativity to produce a completely beautiful space.

Lael did a great job with our budget and design challenges. She provided several alternatives and recommendations - each one was carefully considerate of our space, tastes and budget/time/scope. Her approach to design and creative flair, professionalism, project management skills, exceptional trades and positive energy are a delight.

We had such a great time working with Lael on our renovation. Her hard work, open mind, and insight as well as a great team made our renovation a positive experience from beginning to end. She took us through every step of the process and made it easy. We are so happy with the outcome and we are grateful that Lael was able to make it happen for us.
