'At the conclusion of my first consultation with Celia she outlined a vision to transform my flat and she has delivered 100% on that promise. Employing Celia as project coordinator as well as Designer was a masterstroke. Celia has succeeded across the all important quality, time and cost measures. l have had a trouble free experience, despite the significance of the refurbishment and redecoration undertaken and this is largely attributable to Celia’s experience, sheer hard work and professionalism. l know that during the course of the contract there have been a number of occasions where Celia has gone the extra mile to make sure l get exactly what l want and to the standard l want it. Her energy and enthusiasm are particularly noteworthy. l have no hesitation in commending Celia’s interior design and related project coordination abilities to others.'
Stephen C, Tunbridge Wells, November '06
'The work was extensive.... Such a project needed imagination in design, management skills and organisation across a range of disciplines.'
'From the start Celia has impressed with her grasp of the concept, and, taking into account my requirements, has demonstrated her considerable experience and creativity through the planning stage to the execution of my much admired kitchen. Her choices and co-ordination of all the relevant trades have ensured a professional process, where, all too often, weak links in the chain could have caused all manner of disruption.'
'The work was completed on budget and l have no doubt that Celia’s knowledge and expertise have saved me from costly errors. The confidence inspired by her skills, as well as her commitment to the project have been reassuring at all times and l would employ Celia without hesitation for any similar undertaking large or small.'

'Celia creates a relaxing look without allowing the decor to become bland... the understated feel comes from clever use of colour... loving attention to detail.'

'Celia manages to combine inspiring the client with new ideas, colours, textures and innovative ways of looking at home design while being sympathetic to a client's budget and requests. She demonstrates excellent project management skills thus easing the client through what can often be a difficult time; dealing with builders, the intrusion into one's home and remembering ALL the little things that go into finishing the project and making your home look luxurious.'

'Thank you Celia for all your work in assisting me with my recent projects. You offered me inspiration for my blinds and curtains with creative colour schemes enhancing all these rooms.
'The colour scheme for the refurbishment of my bathroom has created an area of outstanding imagination, resulting in a warm and relaxing environment. I couldn't have done it on my own.'

Thanks to your experience, know-how and stylishness, we now have a house that feels smart and comfortable.
'Thank you for being mindful of our budget - which meant that we could do a little more - and for accommodating some well-loved family furniture. I'm so pleased!!'
