testimonials

"Dianne chose the colours for our home renovation and extension including a self-contained section of the house which we now run as a bed and breakfast. Dianne did a fantastic job of creating a warm and inviting space for our B&B guests. She listened carefully to what we liked and didn't. We both love the result."

 "We had some basic ideas and furniture to work with but Dianne turned our basics into a total concept. her invaluable input ensured that the project was seen as a compete picture and has meant we are as thrilled with it now as we were on day one! I cannot recommend Dianne highly enough for advice on interior design and colour and I have, to all my friends."
