Valerie's design skills had a life-changing impact on my life, leaving me in awe of her incredible talent. I never realized how much a beautiful home could transform one's everyday experience until Valerie worked her magic. One of the projects Valerie undertook was furnishing my Airbnb, and the results were nothing short of astounding. Thanks to her impeccable taste and attention to detail, my Airbnb became an instant success. I received an influx of bookings and countless compliments from my guests. Every time I step into the space, I can't help but feel a sense of joy and excitement. Valerie's design not only made it aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly functional, creating an ambiance that brings about positive moods and experiences. What sets Valerie apart is her ability to consider every little detail while keeping costs to a minimum. She has an uncanny talent for making ordinary items from the Superstore look high-end and luxurious. It's truly remarkable how she can transform a space without breaking the bank. Her dedication to delivering exceptional results within budget constraints is truly commendable. Currently, Valerie is working with me again to revamp my own home, and I couldn't be more thrilled. With her ingenious touch, she managed to breathe new life into our once-boring space using only our existing furniture. It's as if she possesses some kind of magic that instantly makes everything feel fresh and invigorating. I feel incredibly blessed to have her as my interior designer, as she has the ability to bring out the best in any space. In conclusion, Valerie's interior design skills have made an indelible impact on my life. Her ability to create stunning, functional, and budget-friendly designs is unmatched. From transforming my Airbnb into a thriving business to revamping my own home, Valerie has consistently exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking an exceptional interior designer who can bring dreams to life. Thank you, Valerie, for the incredible work you've done and for making my spaces truly magical!

Valerie Westra of At First Sight Staging was wonderful to work with: personable, professional and timely. My wife and I hired her to stage our Victoria, BC condominium in the spring of 2022. Valerie was easy to work with, made multiple sight visits and even accompanied me to a flooring store to help me source product. Her strong knowledge of the tastes of the local real estate market were invaluable. The quality of her presentation of our condo helped us to receive the best price possible. The staging and de-staging were well planned and executed. She worked closely with me to enable me to still live in my condo while it was staged and showing to prospective customers; this was a huge convenience for me. Valerie was quick and clear in email and phone correspondence also. She even did webcam with my wife in the USA for our staging planning sessions. I highly recommend Valerie Westra to stage your home or condominium.

Valerie is absolutely amazing and phenomenon at home staging! She has a great taste of artworks and furnitures, and clearly knows how to work her magic to mix what we have and what she has then bring them together. The house gets sold within a week after listed, even before the open house! We definitely recommend Valerie to anyone who are thinking about staging their home for sale. You'd greatly feel lucky having her like we do now.

Getting Valerie to stage our home was one of the best decisions we've made. Her choice of modern colours, contemporary furniture and vibrant artwork made our house look its best and, as a result, it sold quickly. Valerie was a pleasure to work with, taking on our job at short notice, working efficiently and communicating clearly. We highly recommend her.

Valerie was simply outstanding to work with. She was sensitive to the fact our home needed to be depersonalized yet remain comfortable and livable during the selling process. She was very creative, using as much of our own decor as possible, with absolutely beautiful results. We had many questions and Valerie responded quickly to emails and texts, giving her opinion readily. She was respectful of our budget and negotiated with suppliers, ensuring we got excellent quality furniture and artwork for the best price possible. She is a true professional, easy to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks to Valerie's work, feedback from showings was very positive and resulted in a quick sale. Highly recommend getting Valerie to help you sell your home!
