REINVENT – REORGANIZE
When our energy has no room to flow, we become stagnant. Our homes are an extension of our energy field. Start to move that energy by reducing clutter.
A cluttered space can make us feel overwhelmed. When tackled properly, tasks such as organizing your closet, tidying a room, or disposing of excess items can produce a fundamental shift in your life. It can also be incredibly empowering, calming and have the most profound effect on our well being.
Feel uplifted! Organize your home, with assistance from Impressions Interior Decorating.
Loved Jan! Her energy, her “let’s get it done” attitude was exactly what I needed! Everything I needed and more was completed, done with attention to detail and with joy and laughter! Thank you Jan!

PORTFOLIO
BENEFITS
Hiring an interior decorator is a smart decision, and it is important to understand the benefits that they can bring to your project. Many clients feel that using the services of a decorator is strictly for the rich and famous, who are quite happy to replace existing furnishings with costly pieces. And yes, these clients do exist, but the majority of clients are not from trust fund families. Often, clients have design ideas of their own but need help to pull their vision together. They simply do not have the time to execute their plan, with day to day busy schedules to deal with.
Apart from the obvious attraction of gaining a functional, attractive, comfortable and inviting home, the following outlines a list of points that you may not have yet considered:
REVIEWS
Just a note to thank you for your amazing presentation of my listings. Not only do the properties look and feel completely modern and compelling, the owners are thrilled with the ease with which you interpret the strongest features and draw out the real beauty of their home. Often the owners of the homes that you stage have said “Wow! I don’t think I want to sell it anymore!”, but of course, the show goes on and within a very short time, not only do the properties draw exactly the target market I am aiming for, but we get real solid offers in the price band we are seeking.
RUTH
North Vancouver | REALTOR
My husband and I had recently renovated our kitchen, dining room and living room but it was furnished with a mishmash of outdated, hand-me-down furniture. Jan swooped in and waved her magic wand (literally, she’s magic!) and transformed all 3 spaces. There are so many things I can say about Jan; she is a lovely person and so fun to work with, she has a wonderful sense of style and colour which she used to help me find my own, she is extremely practical and while our new furnishings are beautiful, they didn’t break the bank. On top of this, Jan has been extremely supportive and helpful to other members of my family who weren’t exactly easy to deal with! She has always been there when we needed her and I know that I can call on her for her consistently excellent advice. The real testament, in my opinion, is that Jan helped me make choices in my home that inspired my 27 year old daughter in decorating and furnishing her first home.

Edgemont Village | HOUSE
Jan was instrumental in transforming our new house into a “home”. We recently moved in to a lovely single-family house that was in desperate need of some life and personality. We were lucky enough to find Jan and have her come over for a consultation before we had even unpacked! She took the time to listen to what our ideas were and picked up on our style right away. From paint colour choices, to big statement pieces, to decor accents, we are so in love with the spaces she has created. We have been so impressed with her ability to bring a room together and integrate our existing furniture into the design. She has also been a wonderful resource for quality trades and contractors. We can’t wait to keep tackling room after room with her!

Jan was referred to me by a colleague when I found myself in a pinch with a client. She was quick, easy to work with and my clients found her to be very helpful. I have since used her on a number of occasions and can happily say that each property she has staged was successfully SOLD! I would not hesitate to recommend her services…actually I already have!

We have had the pleasure to work with Jan on a few projects and we always look forward to each opportunity. Jan’s attention to detail and her creative eye for design make her a valued part of the team. She has such a wonderful & warm personality and combined with her design and decorating talent it always leads to an amazingly positive experience for everyone involved. Thank you so much Jan!

Sprucehill Contracting Inc. | CONTRACTOR
Buying a new home was daunting enough…then I had to decorate it. Well, that’s where Jan came in. We met and I had an instant connection with her. We worked approximately 8 months together. Jan is a great listener and you feel like she’s fully invested in your vision for your home. She’s great with colour and brings her unique flare to the project; I call it the ‘wow factor’. She spends so much time shopping and looking for what’s going to fit in that perfect spot. I’ve been so pleased with her work I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
KATHRYN & TOM
North Vancouver | PENTHOUSE
When I undertook my kitchen and master bathroom renovation project, I really wasn’t sure where to start. My first step was to call Jan, and that was the best first step I could have taken. Jan has been a terrific resource, from recommending a top-notch contractor to providing a keen eye and good taste for colours and materials. And she’s a joy to work with: personable and warm, she is also down-to-earth and direct, and her natural gift for detail manifests itself in her thoughtful design suggestions. I would definitely recommend Jan’s services.
LINDA
North Vancouver | HOUSE
A new listing of mine needed some creative staging and, on the recommendation of a fellow realtor, I was fortunate to be introduced to Jan from Impressions Interior Decorating. The interior transformation she achieved, at short notice and in a very timely fashion, was truly amazing. Both the sellers and myself thoroughly enjoyed the experience of collaborating together with Jan and her team. Her suggestions were practical and she delivered everything she had promised. Thanks to Jan’s creativity and hard work the listing sold in 3 days with 3 competing offers. The sellers were delighted and it greatly facilitated my job as the realtor. Impressive results and I’ve found a dynamic new stager and decorator with a personable touch to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending Jan and her team.
ANNE
North Vancouver | REALTOR
Jan is a dream to work with. She provided the right level of options and direction I needed to transform my home from drab to beautiful. I appreciated Jan’s knack for picking up on my aesthetic, her attention to detail and her appreciation for the budget. The whole process was so easy, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
KRISTA
Olympic Village | APARTMENT
Moving into a 1,000 square foot apartment had so many challenges that we were feeling overwhelmed. With Jan’s help, we enjoyed decorating and furnishing our new home. Jan relieved all the stress, worry and confusion. We couldn’t have done it without her!
RON & DORIS
North Vancouver | CONDO
Our family was in the midst of a major renovation when I consulted with Jan. She helped us make our tiling and counter choices for our bathrooms and kitchen. At this point we were entirely overwhelmed with the many choices available. Through her thoughtful and patient discussions with us, she proposed a colour palette that created an integrated and calming interior. I later asked Jan to help us choose a new exterior house colour. She was instrumental in helping us find a colour that was striking as well as in harmony with our interior colours. I will definitely work with Jan again as she brought a wonderful sense of colour, patience and humour which helped us navigate what could have been a very stressful period.
LYNNE & DOUG
North Vancouver | HOUSE
A couple of years ago, my husband and I embarked on a major renovation of our home. We were feeling a little overwhelmed at the prospect of choosing paint colours, furniture, finishes, etc. Jan came highly recommended to us by a long time friend so we hired her to help us. At our first meeting with Jan our fears and concerns were put to rest. She was able to help us find our own sense of style and to come up with solutions to mine and my husband’s differing opinions. She also stayed respectful of our budget. We are both very proud of our “new” home and still enjoy the compliments we get when people come over. We have since recommended Jan with confidence to other friends.
