Just wow. Jessica and Tony are true professionals and lovely people. I just had my kitchen…read morecompletely renovated and have been super-impressed with their service and dedication. Creating dream kitchens is clearly their passion. I chose Merit cabinetry in white and it just looks stunning with the countertop from Colonial. (Jessica organizes the whole thing, not just the cabinets.) She suggested a tap that has little divots in the handle, that look like rhinestones. I can't tell you how much pleasure I get from that tap! Truong and Brad (installers) are similarly fabulous people and pay huge attention to the tiniest of details. I just cannot say enough good things and would give ten stars if that rating were available.

Of course you can always get cheaper stuff on Wayfair or Ikea, but you have to assemble it yourself, or you don't know what you are getting, and then you end up replacing it in a few years anyway.

After looking around for a TV stand that would actually fit in with my other Danish modern…read morefurniture pieces, which is a lot harder then one would think, I came across Monarch Furnishings. I can't say a negative thing about Monarch. The service was great, the staff was very helpful, and didn't come off as snobby unlike a few other furniture stores that I won't mention here. The furniture itself is fantastic. Real, sustainably harvested hardwood construction with great design aesthetics, and all reasonably priced for the quality of furniture you're getting. Sure, they're more expensive then Ikea, but would you rather spend more for a quality piece of furniture that's going to last you a long time, or would rather spend less for a semi-disposable, particle board, piece of sh!t that every frat boy has?

When I decided that my living room needed a total makeover, I was apprehensive about implementing…read moredrastic change without professional help. I have always known what I like, but I was intimidated by the myriad of decisions facing me, and more importantly, I did not want to make any expensive mistakes. I live in Vancouver so hiring an interior decorator in Victoria seemed problematic, but I knew what a great designer Sue Pipes was and Janice, the owner of Calla Design, assured me that the extra cost would be minimal. The first thing I have to say about my experience with these 2 highly professional ladies is that we quickly established a very easy working relationship. They were immediately accessible through email and phone, and from the outset exhibited terrific enthusiasm, even though my one-room project was a relatively modest one. They suggested 3 different options for my living room and provided paint, fabric and carpet samples for each look. What was amazing is that they helped me recognize how important it was to keep an open mind and push the boundaries of my comfort zone in order to achieve something special and exciting. The result was just that - a look much bolder and more colourful than I would have ever imagined for myself - but because it was put together with professional expertise and flair, I have to say I am thrilled with the outcome! Along the way one unfortunate problem was encountered with a piece of custom-made furniture where an error in dimensions had been made by the supplier. Sue & Janice swiftly alleviated my concern, emphasizing that my satisfaction was paramount. They resolved a difficult situation in a thoroughly professional manner without involving me. Following this hiccup, Sue worked long and hard to help me in the final stages of the project - assisting me with decisions relating to artwork, and accessorizing - for that final polished result. For anyone on a hunt for a first-rate interior designer who has fresh and original ideas relating to style and a remarkable sense of colour, I recommend Sue Pipes of Calla Design without reservation!

Hands down the best experience we've had with a tradesperson. We had 4 companies come out to do a…read morequote for a repair to our cracked shower pan, and Radek was the most straightforward, reliable and was able to do all the work himself (other companies were only able to do the demo/repair or tiling, but not both, and few companies would touch the removal and reinstall of our existing glass shower doors, which would of resulted in us having to hire multiple people for the 1 job). He ended up building a new tiled shower pan to replace our damaged plastic one (from a previously improperly done job). He was honest and upfront about potential cost, complications, and time it would take to do the job, and he adhered to all( which we understand isn't easy to do in the trades). I will recommend him to anyone needing work, and we will definitely use him in the future. I can't say enough about Radek and his professionalism.
