Teresa is wonderful to work with! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and she went above and beyond to keep us informed and to work with our existing style. We are so proud to show off her work and we will be working with her again when it is time to do the upstairs!

We have been using Design Inspirations for well over 8 years. We just keep coming back to have Teresa Lee do every aspect in our home. We started room by room and then recently moved to a new home in which we undertook major renovations. Teresa designed every step of the renovation as well as furniture, draperies and window coverings. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and the service. She knows our style and provides impeccable service and professionalism. We now have beautiful, warm and inviting spaces. We will use Teresa again most definitely for the next stages in our home. It's gotten to the point where I don't want to buy anything without her opinion - it's that good! Thank you Design Inspirations!

We were impressed form the start and happy with the end results! During our initial consult Teresa came through our house and provided us with some great ideas and a starting point for our decorating and renovation project. This initial consult was well worth the money which is why, after meeting with the others that we were considering, we chose to work with Teresa on our project. We were starting with a dated, 90s style build. Our project was to finish furnishing the house, renovate the kitchen area, and update and brighten the living space with paint and lighting. Teresa assisted us with selecting the right paint colours, blinds, furniture, fixtures, counter tops and developing a plan and timetable for getting everything completed on time! With her vision and guidance we were able to work around the few existing furniture pieces – repainted a tv console, new cushions for a sofa, & modernized our fireplace by removing an old, oversized mirror above it and repainting the area to transform it into an attractive focal point for the room. Throughout the process she had great ideas and suggestions and was able to provide us with great options that fit our property and lifestyle. Teresa stayed within our budget and understood the goals and needs we had for the property – there are many beautiful furniture pieces that, when we eventually move, are still versatile enough to be used in other settings. Throughout the process she was able to suggest contractors and other professionals to help with electrical work, cabinet refinishing & painting, blinds, and countertops. After all the main furniture pieces and renovations were complete she was able to bring the house to life and tie everything together by adding some artwork and decorations to the house at a reasonable price. We are happy with the results and highly recommend meeting and working with her!

Through the wonders of technology we have been able to reconnect with our favorite designer. We are returning clients who worked with Design Inspirations when we lived in Alberta. We were thrilled with the results then. We now live on Vancouver Island and Teresa Lee (Design Inspirations) has moved to St. Catharine's ON, so meeting in person is much less feasible. Today, we had a very productive consultation using online methods (Facebook messenger with video). By sending her photos and doing a live virtual tour of the spaces -- both inside and outside the house -- Teresa was able to provide some great ideas and design suggestions as well as share several useful websites for us to research colours, draperies, etc. . We talked for almost 2 hours and look forward to continuing our beneficial relationship!

I trust Teresa will satisfy your decor needs and provide exceptional guidance with any look you are aiming to achieve! I was referred to Teresa from a satisfied client who utilized her services on two separate occasions. I have never had the experience of working with a designer previously; however I am extremely thrilled with my investment and the final result of my two bedroom townhome! The look achieved was not something I could have accomplished independently. Start through finish, Teresa was professional, kind, patient, and detail oriented. She allowed me the flexibility to have as much or as little input into the decision making as I desired. Her fees are reasonable, and her follow through is timely. This was a smaller scale project for Teresa, but she dedicated the same energy and perfectionist attitude as she would in any other project. I would recommend Teresa’s expertise to anyone who wants to fall in love with the space they live in. She turned a cold, unfurnished 2 bedroom stacked townhome into a place I feel so blessed to call home. I will certainly utilize her services for future decorating opportunities! Thank you Teresa and Design Inspirations!
