THE PROCESS
"I was so impressed with Michaela's approach to our personal consultation to redesign our kitchen space. We sat in the space for a while having a cup of tea and we talked at length about what we needed from the space for us as a family in terms of kitchen cupboard storage but also what the potential and limitations were for adding extra light and room and an extra sense of space. We talked about many options but Michaela came up with some fantastic ideas both for storage and giving a sense of light and room which we simply hadn't thought about which we will implement in due course. I completely recommend Michaela if you need some help and advice redesigning your space she is talented and thoughtful in her approach and works totally with you in mind".

“Thinking about this early in the planning stage was incredibly useful, saving stress and costly mistakes further down the line.”

Classic Design, With A Touch of Rock and Roll
"Michaela was wonderful to work with. Her enthusiasm for the project was clear and it was great to talk with someone who was keen to help me get the design on paper that I had in my head. She listened carefully to my thoughts and wish list and gave me thoughtful, considered ideas and feedback. She asked questions to ascertain my needs and ‘must haves’ and really understood what I was after. Her ideas were clear, creative, and well thought out and enabled me to visualise our new space in a much clearer way. She came up with ways to make our space flow better that I hadn’t thought of and really helped me see how my space would work best. Michaela’s sense of style is obvious, and she is warm and enthusiastic to work with on project designs. Thank you for your help in designing our new kitchen"
