In a city with numerous aging communities whose homes display dusty rose carpets, country-kitsch wallpaper borders and pastel-hued window poufs, The Design Studio Inc. has found a niche updating and renovating to a more contemporary standard. Partners Janet and Rob Farnham and Stephanie Coyston launched the company in 2010, bringing their collective talents in the housing industry together under one roof.
Originally located on High Street in McKenzie Towne, the firm has moved to the East Shepard industrial area on 112th Avenue Southeast, a building which counts several high-end homebuilders among its tenants. Coyston focuses on kitchen and bath renovations, while Janet is the lead interior designer and Rob oversees project management.
