Deanna Hutton

We have worked with Dee on several occasions and she has always delivered a good product, excellent advice and creative solutions all in a professional and affordable package.

Dee created both a kitchen and basement design for us. She listened to our needs and wants and translated that to provide a couple of designs from which to choose. With our design in hand, we were able to compare apples to apples when we approached kitchen renovation companies for estimates.

Dee helped us stage our home before we put it up for sale and we ended up selling for more than $60,000 over asking! Once in our new home, Dee offered suggestions for furniture placement and storage solutions. These suggestions made a huge difference. I would work with her again anytime.

Deanna has an ability to "see" the things that I am unable to manage. She took a cluttered, overstuffed and disorganized bedroom and turned it into a peaceful, calm and inviting place. After her initial visit, Deanna showed me what things needed to go, and which pieces of furniture could be reused. I spent my money on the consultation, the paint and a few shelves and some lighting. I was able to use most of the stuff we already had. We went to work and whenever I had a question Deanna was there to provide an answer!

I have used Deanna services many times over the years. I work full time and have little time for cleaning let alone designing. The disorganization in our home was driving me insane plus after 5 years we had yet to add our own signiture to the house. Deanna read our personalities and was able to guide us to what we needed and liked. I had picked out ecclectic colours for our kitchen with Deanna's help and then she guided us as to how to really make it pop. She has since helped with many spaces in our home. Thanks to Deanna our home now feels like us and is also far more organized. She read us then lead us. Her gift is that she does not force her opinions but listens to the clients. It is a very refreashing approach.

Deanna was simply amazing to work with. We desperately needed to renovate our galley style kitchen which was poorly laid out, dated in appearance and had absolutely no storage space. We had no idea what to do or how to start. Friends of ours had hired Dee previously when re-designing their house. We'd seen her work and really liked it so we gave her a call. She came (on time) to look at the kitchen, listened to what we disliked about the kitchen,what we wanted to see changed and what our budget was. She took photos for her to reference and came up with a series of options for us to consider. She took everything into consideration. Without pushing her personal opinion, she walked us through each design option and explained the rationale behind each design. Her kitchen layouts were unbelievable - now we've more counter and storage space than kitchens that are 3 times the size of ours. She also provided a lot of support and advise when it came to choosing colour schemes. The colour choices were ours but she was able to explain what would or wouldn't work and why. She was also a huge resource for getting names of contractors, handymen etc. It's been 5 years since we renovated our kitchen and we love every aspect of it. Dee's insight and professional approach gave us exactly what we wanted and needed in our kitchen. If you're looking for an interior design consultant this is the person to hire. She's absolutely fantastic.

This was a small kitchen renovation to provide a more open space, more counter space and storage. I wanted to open the kitchen to the dining room and add an island between the two. This meant removing a pantry. Deanna created a design that met all criteria and ensured I did not lose storage. Good creativity, easy to follow plans, good job.

After a pre-consultation, Dee attended our finishing appointment with our new home builder. Over the course of several hours Dee’s insight and advice really made the difference in some of our most important decisions. Subsequently, Dee directed us through a very deliberate process that solicited from us what was truly important to us for our new home colour scheme the results were both unexpected and fantastic! We are looking forward to involving Dee in the design of our basement finishing.
