PLEASE! read before retaining or working with Chrissy! I recently purchased my first home and was extremely excited to turn it into my dream home. I began my search for an interior designer to make my dream come to life. I stumbled upon Chrissy's Instagram page and liked her style and portfolio, which led me to reach out to her. Initially I was so excited about working with Chrissy, I never imagined in a million years I would be leaving a review forewarning others from working with Chrissy and/or CHCC. I put my full faith, trust, and confidence in Chrissy and after over a year of working with her, I learned she took advantage of me in such an outrageous and unscrupulous manner that I couldn't initially wrap my mind around it. Turns out Chrissy charged me significant mark ups on actual cost of furniture and building materials. Our contract stated I was to receive her “designer discounts” and “VIP pricing”, which made abundant sense to me since I paid Chrissy a stipulated sum to compensate her for design services in addition to, what I was told would be, the supplier cost for all furniture and interior design materials, less discounts about which Chrissy was so proud to tell me. An example of this was marble slabs, which I learned came with an actual supplier cost of $2,000 per slab. Chrissy charged me around $12,000 per slab. When furniture and building materials were delivered to my home I hoped they would at least be of exceedingly high quality and fit for their intended purpose. Many items delivered to my home was of extremely poor quality, workmanship, and most items didn't fit in the spaces specified. One example being a bathroom vanity that wouldn't allow the door to close, another was a kitchen banquette that stuck out beyond one of the walls by more than 3 inches. In one example lucite handles were ordered that and massive mark-ups charged for that I came to find out were ordered from Etsy. The majority of the light fixtures specified for my home came from a company from which CHCC holds distribution rights. This resulted in Chrissy relying heavily on a single lighting supplier, resulting in further exorbitant markups. Never did I agree to pay Chrissy or CHCC markups for items they sourced on my behalf. Consistently throughout the project Chrissy confirmed for me that I was getting “great deals” and was given “all of her trade discounts''. This was far from the truth. Chrissy brands herself as an interior designer when my experiences exposed her as a decorator. I had to learn the difference between these designations the hard way. There was a significant amount of materials specified that in the end had to be removed because they failed to meet functional requirements, and in the worst cases, did not meet building code or applicable regulations. Walking through the house, it became clear Chrissy attempted to create isolated rooms to be photographed, not for my benefit but to bolster her portfolio. Chrissy would often tell me about how she thought the house would be featured in a design magazine and I quickly learned she seems to have designed the house for her own benefit, rather than my best interest and my design wishes. It has been a categorical disaster and heartbreaking journey, one I thought I would never experience and never wish for anyone else to experience..when you search for CHCC on the internet you will note 5-star reviews and a beautiful website, something my experience showed me is carefully orchestrated. If you read my review and are still considering working with Chrissy or CHCC, I urge you to do your due diligence and talk to others in the Vancouver interior design industry before taking the leap. I hope in sharing my experience that Chrissy will never again be able to harm someone financially and emotionally the way she harmed me.
