Design by Angela

Angela and her team flipped our kitchen and renovated two bathrooms at our 150 year-old house. A wall was removed, an island was installed, cabinetry was redone, and the list goes on and on. I highly recommend “Design by Angela” as she not only respected our budget, but also respected our timeline. Communication was easy, decisions were made swiftly, etc. If you want a creative professional who transforms indoor spaces into functional and visually appealing areas, give her a call.

Angela’s services were incredible during our renovations. She managed the entire process from beginning to end - dealing with quotes, contractors, sourcing, ensuring each trade was done on-time. My home is beautiful - also a testament to Angela’s ability to coordinate colours, cabinets, flooring, hardware, every detail.

A retired couple, my husband and I moved into our new home in December and by March were ready to start the interior decorating. We met with Angela and expressed our hope to have everything done by the start of summer, when out-of-town guests would begin arriving for visits. We wanted a comfortable and attractive environment that would be welcoming for our family and friends and enjoyable for us year-round. Angela achieved all our goals! With her unflagging energy and enthusiasm, she was able to find 99 per cent of the decor locally and available in a matter of weeks if not days. She arranged for the painter, electrician and handyman, who were all proficient and courteous. As we got to know Angela, we developed great confidence in her guidance and recommendations. She was able to take our ideas and preferences and turn them into beautiful rooms and a home that we love and of which we are proud. We would be delighted to work with Angela again and recommend her unreservedly.

I recently sold my home in Havelock and decided to move into a new 2-bed, 2-bath apartment complex in Napanee. As a recent, middle-aged widower, I really had no idea about how to down-size and make my new apartment, my new home. After a quick google search, I got in touch with Angela. She made the entire process so easy; even coming to my home in Havelock to help me decide what furniture would work in my new apartment. From new furniture, window covering, lighting, bedding, accent pieces etc., she was perfect and very professional. She took a keen interest in my lifestyle and I can honestly say that her ideas have transferred my new apartment; into my new home. Highly recommend. Thank you Angela

We had such a great experience with Angela and her team. She was quickly responsive to our initial enquiry and asked detailed questions about our goals. We did a complete overhaul of our basement family room and stairway and asked that it be kid-proof and pet-proof, and she delivered! It looks elegant, spacious, and has a peaceful vibe, and all surfaces are resilient and easy to clean. She had fresh ideas for a weather-proof entryway that has been a game-changer for our family. Her team was friendly and reliable and talented.

Angela provided the best services to meet our needs. We wanted someone to help us with design on the main floor of the home we moved into. The primary focus of this project was to establish a colour theme and provide all new lighting to stylize the home. We also wanted to use many of the primary pieces we had as well as improve with new pieces to update a classic style. Angela was an excellent advocate for her us with both professional trades and and retail providers. We always felt we had the best services and products. Angela was always responsive, engaging, and extremely sensitive to both money and time, in our favour. This has been the best experience for gaining a comfortable and stylish new home.

We found Angela’s interior design vision toward our home improvement project both efficiency & refreshing. Her straight forward approach and enthusiasm made a frustrating experience for us instantly enjoyable. She quickly grasped the rustic modern theme of our outdoor lifestyle and incorporated that into design of our lakefront home. The results far exceeded our expectations. We are delighted with the end result. Despite Covid 19’s restrictions Angela’s connections with quality contractors enabled us to quickly establish a concise budget and then ensured our Renovations were completed on time. Angela’s guidance saved us countless extra hours and potentially costly mistakes had we attempted the upgrades on our own. In summary, if you want to eliminate the many frustrations associated with home renovations we highly recommend Design By Angela ..., She’s That Good! L & C Showler

We hired Angela hoping to get some advice to help us refresh our 20 year old home. We were prepared to do a lot of the work ourselves, but lacked imagination when it came to colour and design details. It took us a few months (Thanks, covid!) to put her suggestions into action and we are so happy that we did. Angela has a real eye for colour. The wall, trim, flooring and kitchen cabinet colours that she chose had a striking result and literally made us "fall in love" with our home again. She worked with the furniture that we had and made practical suggestions for additions and arrangements. The contractors that she suggested were also impressive. And, we received discounts on flooring and paint because of the associations she has. We really enjoyed working with Angela and highly recommend her services.

Angela designed and managed our house renovations in August and September 2020, before we moved to Kingston. We were not able to be present on site during these renovations and were nervous that the project stayed on time. Angela was exceptional. She provided excellent advice on flooring, paint colours and our new kitchen. She also suggested knocking back the hallway cupboard to create an open space which we love. Angela worked with excellent craftsmen and contractor which meant that the renovations were mostly done by the time we moved in. Angela sent us emails and texts with photos almost daily during the renovations. COVID meant that our kitchen arrival was delayed, however it was installed the very next day. Angela did all the shopping for the smaller items and her attention to detail was wonderful. Overall, Angela exceeded our expectations. We would not have been able to upgrade our new house without her. She took on the difficult jobs of staying on top of the kitchen company and coordinating the different workmen. The pandemic did not make this easy for her. She removed our worry and allowed us to focus on moving. We thought her fees were very reasonable. Angela is very professional and she is a true pleasure to work with.

We hired Angela to help us with designing the living spaces in our new Home. We wanted a cozy, comfortable and functional design that fits our life style and taste. Angela started out by moving our existing furniture around, suggesting additional pieces and accessories. The outdated existing window coverings In the living room were replaced with beautiful curtains and sheers, complimenting the room. Our once fairly simple dining room was turned into a focal point by just adding upholstered chairs, wallpaper to the sideboard wall and a different chandelier. We absolutely love our new space, it’s warm, inviting and relaxing! Angela has an amazing eye for details and colours. She is very creative and an absolute pleasure to work with! Thank you, Angela!

Angela is a professional in every sense of the word. She knows how to bring out the best of your home so that the photographer just has to point and shoot. I really love how my home feels now. Working with Angela was a pleasure. Paula Haynes
