E Jackson Design

October 6, 2016 We first started working with Stefanie 8 years ago on our cottage in the northern interior of B.C. We came to Stefanie with a Panabode cedar log building at the lock-up stage. Stefanie prepared the interior furniture layout, helped us to choose furnishings; kitchen and bathroom cabinetry layout designs were done; counter tops, sinks and fixture choices were provided; as well as providing hardwood and slate flooring choices throughout the cottage. Stefanie's team provided custom cabinetry in the kitchen and bathrooms, custom glass fronted display/book shelf unit, front entrance bench seating/coat rack, custom bathroom transom window, a stunning rock faced fireplace, the entire lighting plan, interior and exterior, as well as fixture choices. Stefanie designed the layout of the lower level sitting area, bedroom, laundry and bathroom configurations as well. On the exterior of the building, she also made design recommendations for the expansion of our deck with a railing system of cedar, glass and iron spindles. The remarkable thing about all of this work is that Stefanie did it site unseen, working entirely from floor plans and measurements we gave her. The installations were done by local trades people. We brought up all cabinetry and furnishings including the flooring, ourselves, by trailer. It was a huge job and Stefanie facilitated a smooth transition of all materials from the companies involved, to us for transport. She was available to remediate any problems we had with suppliers. The project was on budget and finished within project deadlines. The outcome was fantastic! We love our cottage. Stefanie's ideas and special touches, along with maximizing use of space, have made our cottage a cozy gathering place we love to share with our family and friends. The next big project we undertook with Stefanie was the renovation of our main residence. Photographs of this project have been posted on this site. We have done the work in stages, starting with the upstairs and working our way down. Over the last four years, Stefanie and her team have completed for us: an office, hobby room, hallway sitting/library area, bedroom and ensuite; and on the main floor: kitchen/laundry/family room. We are so pleased with the results. Our home has a calm and serene quality to it that Stefanie conveyed through her design and ability to understand what we, as clients, want in our home. Our renovations continue and so does our happy association with Stefanie and her accomplished team.

When I decided I wanted to renovate my kitchen I did a ton of research. I first went to a bunch of places in Vancouver, then a friend of mine suggested I talk to E Jackson. After speaking with one of the owners, Chris, I was impressed with his work ethic and demeanour. Then I found out they also had a great Interior Designer, Stefanie. What a great combo they are! Stefanie was very hands on throughout the project, since I am a single guy I have no Idea what colours to choose and what countertops go with the cabinets. Even what I need in a kitchen I always thought that cabinets were just cabinets but she introduced me to so many cool things to make life easier when cooking! Plus the colours she picked out go well together with the rest of the house. When it came time for construction Chris is second to none, always on time and when we did run into unforeseen problems he gives you solutions that will fit into your budget or at least close to it. He was always on time and what I loved most was he was clean, a lot of contractors aren't. The project was finished within the quoted timeline and on Budget, I have recommended them already to several friends and when I do the renos for the rest of my house I will surely call them again! Thank you for the great kitchen Chris, Stefanie and E Jackson Team
