“Love it. Love it. Love it.”

“Brent and Dwaina, I wanted to let you both know how happy Chris and I are with the design plan for our living room. We always wanted this room to finally “grow up”, but we never had the time to really pull it all together. Now that we have an overall plan to start working from, we can budget our time and money for the different stages, knowing what we can do ourselves, and what we should contract out. I can’t wait to see it all finished!”

“Working with Good Space on our new living room and foyer was really fun, and I appreciated that my input and contributions were respected throughout the process. One of the reasons I had hesitated hiring a decorator before was because I didn’t know what I was committing to financially, or what was involved. I liked the Good Space concept because it was so clear and understandable, right from the beginning, and I knew all the costs up front. I am also happy knowing that my investment in this Plan has saved me money – no more bad decorating choices!”

Angela Scardillo – Burnaby, B.C.

“We could not be happier with our Good Space plan. Brent and Dwaina were so kind and helpful, and they really did an amazing job getting to know our tastes, and what we were looking for in our space — or, more importantly, how we wanted the rooms to function and how we wanted to feel in those rooms. Neither of us has a great design sense, just a sense of “I like this/don’t like that,” and Brent and Dwaina were able to focus all of that into a gorgeous plan that we could then execute.

The plan was incredibly detailed, including fabric swatches and even the names of the stores where we could purchase the things they were suggesting. They took out a huge part of the leg work, and basically all of the aggravation. Instead of having to go to twenty stores and look at hundreds of couches, for example, we went to two stores, compared prices, and made our choice, based on the styles and colour scheme Dwaina and Brent had suggested

Other great things about their plan: You can take it at your own pace. We are implementing the plan a section at a time, when finances and time allow.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Good Space. For time-strapped (and in our case, also somewhat design-challenged) people, this is an incredible service. I am convinced it winds up saving you money in the long run — no “big purchases” that you regret when you get them home, and no endless, exhausting and irritable days traipsing from store to store. With your Good Space plan you save literally days of your valuable time, and possibly marriages!”

“Good Space came up with a beautiful plan for our living room and gave us all the tools we needed to execute it – right down to the last button. The Good Space Plan is both exceptionally presented and full of useful tips and information that can be applied throughout your entire home. Dwaina and Brent turn what can be a stressful process into a fun experience.”

Christina Shorthouse, Vancouver BC

“Good design always starts with a good plan. Good Space Plans cover all the elements of designing a space, but saves the client considerable expense because they implement it them self. The Good Space process really is ideal for those clients who appreciate good design, but find that hiring a full service designer is not economically viable for them. It is also perfect for clients who just really want to be more hands on when creating their own living environment. I confidently refer clients to Good Space.”

“If you had asked people before what they thought of our house, they would have said “nice.” It was always well kept and clean, with “nice” furniture; it was “nicely” decorated. We did our best with what we had to work with, and my limited knowledge of decorating. But we wanted our house to be more than nice – we wanted it to be fantastic, like the kind you see in decorating magazines. Although we had some ideas for our space, we did not know how to execute them, or even where to begin.

Good Space helped us translate these ideas into more solid concepts, and helped us clarify what we really wanted and needed for our home. Working with Good Space was perfect for us; we were able to visualize the Plan and complete all the work ourselves. We love the end result. Now our house does look like it’s from a magazine. Although we could have created a decorating plan ourselves, and done a “nice” job, we are so glad Good Space helped us come up with something fantastic. Our home is now truly what we wanted.”
