What are you passionate about?

 

I am passionate about creating beautiful spaces that are stylish and comfortable, to me design should make you happy the minute you walk through the door, I am obsessed with color. I love going the extra mile for a client and knowing that when they leave they are happy, to hear a client rave about how well their pieces turned out is such a thrill to me. Oh yeah and London!

What is the most important decision is buying a piece of furniture?

 

I think making sure you give thought to how will I feel about this choice a few years down the road, will I regret the fabric choice and most of all scale, if it ends up overpowering the room you will regret the purchase every time you look at it.

 

What is our favorite thing to hear from your customers?

That I made the process wonderful and easy for them, at the end of the day it’s that which puts a smile on my face and makes me proud of what I do.
