Kate Lyons and Home Decorating

As a design student in Toronto, I knew that I was on the right career path. Being a designer is who I am and what I enjoy. My career began working for a design studio creating sets and graphics for a large television network. From there, I started my own design firm specializing in corporate design. After moving to Vancouver, it seemed a natural time to transition my design focus - taking my experience, knowledge of colour and design fundamentals into the world of interior design. Best Dressed Homes & Co. was born.
I’m inspired by others,

Improved features

We've added some new links and features... Open house maps, Space Planner & "Fit to Sell" tips.
