Recommendation for Deanna White, Fresco Impressions
Anyone seeking to remodel, renovate or build a residence in the Whistler area should seriously consider hiring Deanna White as a designer. Based on our experience, my husband and I cannot recommend her highly enough. We hired Deanna when we were faced with rebuilding our condominium as a result of a fire in the building. The smoke and water damage resulted in an almost complete destruction of the unit, to include flooring, walls and contents. As a result of Deanna’s dedicated work, we now have a stunning, beautifully restored home despite very difficult circumstances.
As part of this process, Deanna helped us through the design choices of all of the materials to be used in the restoration including flooring, tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting, wood trim, doors, and hardware. She helped us think through all of the design decisions, both large and small, and suggested a number of changes from the original design that greatly improved the form and function of our home, not to mention greatly improving the look. This included reconfiguring part of the master bath to create an exceptional shower. Aside from material choices, Deanna was “hands on” with her design. For example, she not only worked out the design for the fireplace mantel — something made tricky by the placement of the fireplace between two windows — but found the appropriate beam to be used to construct it.
Because we do not live fulltime in the Whistler area Deanna was also tasked with being our eyes and ears for a project that was being run by a contractor selected by the insurance company. Under less than ideal conditions, she effectively supervised the construction on this project ensuring that everything was done to our specifications, and demanding corrections when necessary. Her knowledge of local craft persons was also essential to the project. For example, she introduced us to a wonderful cabinet maker who built all of the cabinetry in our rebuilt home and created the mantel to Deanna’s design.
Deanna also worked with us on the selection of all of the furnishings, and designed a wall unit that now constitutes the center piece of our living room. She was there to receive all of the deliveries and then arranged all of the furniture in the home. In short, the result is stunning and many times better than it was before the fire. Indeed, it is many times better than we could have hoped. This is something that would not have happened without Deanna’s help. Hire her!

RE: Deanna White - Fresco Impressions
Deanna White was a fantastic ‘find‘ when it came time to renovate our home in Whistler. She enthusiastically took on the role of general contractor for the job and nothing was ever too big or too small for her to handle for us. Deanna managed and secured the trades while overseeing their work on the house. Deanna hired whomever was needed to complete the renovation painters. plumbers. tiler. electrician, carpenters. drywallers, etc- Her contacts completed their jobs under her supervision and in a timely fashion. She would not hesitate to meet deliveries at the house which made things easier for us being in Vancouver while the work was being done. Deanna provided excellent suggestions for the renovations (eg what to do with the fireplace, how to reno the bathrooms and kitchen. what paint colours would work well throughout the house. where to buy plumbing fixtures) and was conscious of the budget at all times during the project.
Deanna was a pleasure to work with during our renovation and I would highly
recommend Deanna to assist you with your project in Whistler. We are
enjoying our Whistler home thanks to Deanna's suggestions and help.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Butt

RE: Deanna White - Fresco Impressions
Two years ago, my husband and I purchased a town home in Whistler knowing that a major renovation would be needed. Through a friend, I heard of Deanna and spent a fair bit of time interviewing her. I wanted someone with creative ideas to manage the project, listen to my needs and bring the job in on time and on budget.
Deanna surpassed all of my expectations. She sensed that I was more of a business person than a decorator and provided me with regular financial and project updates. She was sensitive to my need to be involved in the “idea of decorating” part of the project but was diplomatic in explaining to me why some of my ideas would not provide the desired outcomes. Deanna knew when to involve me in a decision and when to go it on her own and in this, she never made a mistake.
Deanna’s knowledge of interior design is outstanding and her ability to explain design concepts to the uninitiated is remarkable. The end result is a home that is a joy to live in; one in which I sit and often think WOW what a great job!
Sincerely,
Nancy Forrest
