With Tina's insight we were able to take our kitchen/family room renovation from "nice" to Fabulous! She is very knowledgeable and detail oriented. Tina was very thoughtful with her designs, ensuring they met all of our needs. Her guidance in the choice of materials helped create a timeless look in both our kitchen and family room. She was easy to work with and available whenever we needed her. She worked well with our previously chosen contractor and was able to offer her own trades people when needed. Tina's friendly nature and professionalism reduced the stress related to a large renovation especially during this difficult time. We are thrilled with the end result and look forward to many happy times in our "dream" kitchen and family room.Read More

As a contractor I have worked with many designers and Tina is one of the best !!
Her designs and plans are second to none. Very easy to communicate and work with.
The final result of our project was fantastic. Working with Tina resulted in a smooth and efficient project with no headaches for the contractor or home owner, which is very rare.
I would highly recommend McCabe Design & Interiors to all !Read More

Tina is a joy to work with! Even through a pandemic, she remained calm and collected while we struggled through trying to keep things moving on our project. Her focus on details and relationship with vendors saved our project. She took time to help me understand my design style while at the same time helping steer us to make timeless/classic choices. She went above and beyond to respond to our needs. Her friendly and professional manner through a time of chaos was truly appreciated. We had to put some of our original project on hold and she still remained committed to making sure we have what we need when we are ready to move ahead. Highly recommend!Read More

I had just moved to Vancouver and wanted some help decorating my new living room that had a challenging layout. My previous furniture was not going to do the trick (too old and too small for the room) so I was basically starting from scratch. It was hard to navigate not knowing my way around, which stores to shop at etc so I called around to various interior designers for help. Most didn’t even return my phone call or respond to forms I submitted on their websites. But Tina immediately answered and was quick to come over to my house the next day to meet for a free consultation. I liked her style from her previous work and had confidence she could make the room look fantastic. She knew of all the right stores and where to get a deal – she was very conscious of my budget which I tremendously appreciated. She offered some great suggestions on the layout and really picked up on the styles that I liked too. She has great taste. She was also conscious that I had young kids so needed to ‘accommodate’ for that! The room is now SO beautiful, warm and cozy – yet stylish – for my young family. What a transformation! It’s just a joy to be in that room – I’ve had many visitors since it’s been put together and every single person has commented on how wonderful the room looks. I highly recommend Tina!Read More

I heard about McCabe Design through a client and I was so happy for the referral. I met with Tina to go over exterior paint for my home and she was lovely. She was professional and so knowledgeable. She covered a variety of paints from dark to light and wanted me to take time to figure out my favourite colour. Choosing paint colour is one of the hardest things and it was so nice to have some direction. We ended up going with a bright white- chantilly lace and black accents. We did a black balcony that wraped around half of the house. I was a little worried that the black would be too much but she reassured me it would look great, and it did! I absolutely love it! She didn’t discredit anything I had thought of, she guided me and recommended ways to improve my design. Tina is very passionate about design, she’s thorough and up to date with the newest trends. There is so much that goes into design and Tina knows it all! I highly recommend her and hope to work with her again!Read More

After being in the same home for 32 years, we decided it was time for a full renovation – “down to the studs, clear out the house, move out” kind of renovation. Our builder recommended Tina McCabe of McCabe Design & Interiors to assist with the plans. This was a new experience for us and we did not know what to expect. Tina worked with us tirelessly to ensure that the end product was exactly what we wanted – and we ABSOLUTELY love it! Tina left no detail untouched. In addition to planning the look and flow of our “new” home, she worked diligently with us to ensure we had considered every option before making a final decision on all aspects of our home. She applied this process throughout the project from the floor plan, to the kitchen, bar and dining/family room millwork, and fireplace profiles, to the renovated exterior – including type of material, colours, door & window selections and everything in between. Tina is also assisting us with furnishings and home accents. Tina’s creative ideas, superior vision and careful attention to all details (particularly measurements and adequate spacing) ensure a spectacular result. Tina listened to what we wanted and made it happen. I would not hesitate to recommend Tina to anyone who is looking for a designer to help with a new build or a renovation. I LOVE our “new” home! Thank you Tina!Read More

Tina helped me to realize my dream master bathroom! I hired Tina to assist me in my renovation project of an existing master bathroom. My country house was sadly stuck in the 90s and it desperately needed someone who understood the potential inside to make it shine. When I first met Tina she seemed as excited about my ideas as I was. I truly felt that we were on the same page when it came to the style I was after and so I hired her for my first major project. This is a special house and she got that. Ultimately, she worked my ideas and occasional impulse purchases into the design and the end is a stunning bathroom that fits in line with the character of the home I knew would shine with the right approach.
Tina also introduced me to a wonderful contractor who I will definitely use again. This project was a ways away from Tina but she was always available by phone or text whenever any problems or questions arose. As my first big project, I found it to be a lot less scary having someone with Tina's expertise guiding me through. She allowed me to trust my choices and gut as I knew she would somehow make it work!Read More

I was referred to Tina McCabe by a friend who had success working with Tina on a new build in North Vancouver. I have had the pleasure of working with Tina on 2 separate projects. Tina has been professional, knowledgeable and fun to work with. She is enthusiastic about design and her passion for design is evident in her work. As an opinionated homeowner, I have found that Tina will provide her opinion, but allow the client to ultimately make the decision based on their personal needs for the space. I would have no hesitation recommending Tina to others.Read More

For the last 6-8 months, I have been working on two large projects with Tina of McCabe Design: building a new large Cottage/Lakehouse on the Sunshine Coast and an extremely large renovation that is essentially a new build. I am involved in the exterior plans and permit drawings and applications and Tina is doing the interior design. Tina is a consummate professional. She loves what she does and brings a great deal of enthusiasm and design expertise to the project. She is extremely detailed oriented and understands the various building considerations necessary at the outset of a project to ensure it's success. She also anticipates renovation challenges and plans for them during the initial phases. She is very personable, upbeat, and positive and both clients are extremely happy to be working with her. In team meetings, it is apparent that the client's value and respect Tina, her design, recommendations, and overall approach. Tina goes the extra mile and has an amazing work ethic. It is a pleasure to be involved with her particularly as such large projects take a great deal of time in the planning and design phase. I am eager to execute these projects with her and can't wait to see the final results. I highly recommend McCabe Design and look forward to working with her again.Read More

Whether space management and furniture placement, colour and lighting, textures, textiles and accessories, her attention to even the smallest detail shows beautifully in the end project. I have recommended her since working with McCabe Design and have further heard positive feedback. I will continue to seek their services as I too continue down the endless path of design perfection.Read More

We purchased an older home in North Vancouver in need of an overhaul and redesign to meet the needs of our family. After being referred to Tina by our builder, we hired McCabe Design to assist us with our whole house renovation which completed in 2016. Tina designed all the major interior spaces of our home including our new kitchen space and design, master bathroom, bathrooms, living areas, etc. She worked extremely well with our builder and architect and contributed tremendously to our project. We are thrilled with our new beautiful home and all our finishing materials. Tina then assisted us with various soft furnishings, accessories, and final touches that made the house "our home" and "reflective of our style". It was a pleasure to work with Tina. She is a terrific designer who is friendly, down to earth and budget conscious. We would highly recommend McCabe Design & Interiors.

My wife and I were very pleased that Tina McCabe helped us with the design for a large renovation we did on our West Vancouver home. Tina came into the project about 6 weeks into the renovation, and worked well with our architect under tight deadlines. She suggested changes to the layout, floor plan, and structural requirements that saved us a lot of headache, time, and money, as well as ending beautifully. Tina also helped us with the overall design of and custom millwork for two fireplaces and bathrooms, as well as furnishings. She was able to incorporate both my wife's and my different visions and tastes into the designs. Tina was also able to recommend trades people and work well with the ones we already had. Her attention to detail when giving instructions and measurements to trades people saved us a lot of problems. We love the end result of our home and definitely recommend Tina McCabe to anyone looking for a talented and savvy designer willing to listen and work with them.Read More

Tina assisted us in a fairly major renovation project in 2014.
Her design input and ideas were invaluable as we gutted/upgraded a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, refinished floors, added moldings and doors and new lighting throughout. Tina helped us create an updated aesthetic for our 65+ year old character home. We wanted to modernize the home but at the same time respect it’s charm and age.
Tina guided us through multiple kitchen layout options, paint and overall color schemes, moulding/trim/lighting choices and even upholstery. Tina listened to our ideas and added new ones with a good understanding of our lifestyle and design leanings.
Tina brought a high level of trades knowledge and attention to details in both design and execution therefore ensuring a overall beautiful design, practical installation and great use of different and creative materials.
Tina really sweats the small stuff and it paid off in the project being well thought through and as a result we are very happy with the final results.Read More
