Danniels French Design

Deborah designed two very different bathrooms for us and we are absolutely delighted with the results. She worked in a very timely fashion and had an excellent relationship not only with us but with the general contractor. She anticipates the needs and taste of the client and produces designs accordingly for review and discussion. She has a superb knowledge of the materials and equipment required, and has a list of reliable and trusted suppliers. Last but not least, Deborah has innovative ideas which are totally workable and saved us considerable expense. We look forward to working with her again when we renovate the kitchen.

I don’t know how we would have lived through our kitchen renovation without Deborah. From conception to completion, she was a pleasure to work with, practical, and in the end, cost-saving. She always
respected our design ideas, but without being pushy, suggested new ways of looking at things that improved on our original ideas. She knows her materials, can draw detailed plans, and has trusted suppliers and tradespeople we could count on, especially with Deborah keeping a constant and watchful eye. She was remarkably patient and upbeat throughout the whole renovation process, a real boost to our spirits. I always felt confident that no matter what came up, Deborah would go that extra mile to make sure we got everything we wanted. We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen.

We are very, very happy with Deborah's work.
Deborah has an excellent sense of colour, space and proportion.
Our renvation is much nicer that that of others in our neighbourhood who paid the same amount of money or more.
Our kitchen is spectacular.

Deborah helped us as we worked our way through adding a main floor family room and garage to our 75 year old home which had many original elements prior to our renovation. In addition she assisted us in generally updating the entire house over a 2 year period, with my husband and I living in the house throughout the renovation.

This was our first experience doing a major renovatiion to a house. We engaged Deborah after first working for a few months with a very good contractor who was not meeting deadlines and who prepared the plans for the permit for the addition and garage. Deborah reworked many elements of the plans and changed what would have been OK to spectacular. She corrected the mistakes of others involved in the project, some of which we were aware of, and some not aware of but would have otherwise later become apparent to us.

Deborah is adept at changing the direction of a contractor when needed.

Like Deborah, the trades with whom Deborah works are also highly skilled, honest, reasonably priced, and work within pre-arranged deadlines.

We our very proud of the appearance and atmosphere of our home.

We are grateful to Deborah for guiding us through the renovation and in so doing minimizing the pain and troubles and cost over-runs generally associated with a renovation. Deborah is a pleasure to work with and a real asset to any job.

I would highly recommend Deborah. She is very creative and listens well, she understands intuitivley ones needs and desires. She is very creative and has exceptional taste. She drew up all our drawings for our renovation which was tremednously helpful for our builder
She managed to keep us on budget and on time.
Deborah is a pleasure to work with.

Deborah helped us renovate two upstairs bathrooms and our master bedroom. Deborah is very professinal, with a keen eye for details that look more expensive than they cost. She was always very conscious of our budget and really listened to what we wanted. We had a vision and she stuck to it beautifully, all the while keeping the budget in sight. Deborah is very easy to work with and has a great sense of timelss style, but also a very strong knowledge of design. We have received many compliments on our bathrooms and bedroom.

We are not finished with Deborah, as we still have a basement and kitchen to renovate and Deborah will be our first call when we start these projects.

Deborah took our 1970's dark, and congested kitchen and transformed it into a light and well-appointed chef's paradise, and family gathering spot! The old family room had a built-in BBQ and woodbox in a brick wall. Deborah ingeniously designed a faux armoire with drawers that fit the holes in the wall, centred the fireplace and thrilled us with the total living/entertaining space! With new wood floors for the whole first level (to replace broadloom) we came in on budget with a transformed home of the 21st century.
