Choosing a white for lime plaster
Lime plaster changes colour as it cures and again as the light moves. How we test whites on the wall before anyone signs off.
Process
What to order first: lead times in 2026
Custom sofas are running fourteen weeks and vintage rugs sell in a day. The order we place things in, and why.
Approach
Keeping the furniture you already love
Most houses we work on keep about a third of what was already there. How we decide what stays, what gets reupholstered and what goes to a good home.
Projects
Designing a bedroom around a view
In Summerland the sea is a narrow strip over the rooftops. Everything in the room was placed to keep your eye on it.
Start with two hours at your house
A designer walks every room with you, measures, listens, and sends written notes the same week. The visit is $450, and it comes off your design fee if we go on to work together.
