“Great meeting you today. I think you did a great job and we’re both really excited about putting this together. Best €250 we are likely to spend on the whole project!” I’ll be in touch and let you know how it goes”. (16 Dec 2014 & 02 Feb 2015)

Mary G, Rathfarnham, 12 June 2014 (re interior works to 3 bed apartment):

“John and I are delighted with the consultation yesterday – very professional and informative and great value – thank you so much!”.

Jennifer, Rathfarnham, 04 June 2014 (re proposed extension to semi-d):

“I really enjoyed your visit and the suggestions you gave me.   I certainly learned the importance of planning everything and having it all on the drawings.  We have someone coming out this week to do up our drawings so we feel things are moving. Saw your article in last Sunday’s Times….. lovely reading it and especially after just meeting you !!  Maybe later on in the year when we have the work done I could use your advice on wardrobe storage etc.”

Emer, Maynooth, 03 May 2014 (re extension and alterations to 3 bed home):

“It was great meeting with you last week. The idea you gave us for the kitchen and family area exactly fit what we need at the moment. It was very good also to get another opinion on an upstairs extension and to focus on what our priorities are rather than doing unnecessary work. The tips for the rest of the house were a bonus for getting the most out of our existing house. I think your service is very useful and am definitely going to recommend you to my friends.
I thought your website was very generous in tips but what I liked the most was where you admitted when you got it wrong like the untidy photographs and clothes drying area under the stairs and things you could improve! The website gave a sense of what your house and personality were like and also that you were very aware of the realities of family life and the changing needs of families as they grow.
I felt very comfortable with you in my house and we got a lot out of the two hour session. For me at the moment I’m trying to make my mind up about building and designing a house from scratch or staying where I am. I’m still not sure what we’ll do but your visit to the house was very worthwhile as it gives us the option of making our house work much better.
So wishing you lots of success and thanks again!”

Alison S, Clontarf, 25 April 2014 (re fitting out Play Room and other alterations):

“Definitely loads of food for thought and further research…..I think even starting by taking out the fireplace and putting tv screen on the wall, taking out the darker cabinet and replacing with floor lamp and then really starting to think logistically about what is it the kids actually play with and what would they be more willing to play with with better accessability and organisation. I can feel my approach now coming together and I am going to start tackling the purging of broken, baby, toys and accessories!!!”

Declan H, Templeogue, 29 January 2014 (re sketches for rear extension):

“Hi Eva, I really enjoyed having you out to the house and I’ve passed on your details to a number of friends so hopefully they’ll get in touch over the next couple of months when they get planning!  We really liked the idea you had as well and we are getting a builder out to give a ballpark price in the next week or so.”

VL, Kimmage, 18 January 2014

“It was lovely meeting you: we really liked your ideas and would like to move forward with them. We might call you for another consultation as we move forward with the building work. Many thanks for your help!”

It was great to meet you earlier today and you’ve definitely given me new enthusiasm about my apartment, can’t wait to get started to be honest!Will definitely get back to you about a shipping expedition to Ikea.

AM, Ballsbridge, 16 September 2013

Thank you SO much for your consultation on Friday  – it was really fantastic.  I was feeling very overwhelmed and confused with conflicting advice from various quarters. I was facing into a black hole and wanted to run the other way! Now I have great designs, custom-made for my house and how I want to live in it, and am looking forward to the project.

 Thank you so much – I didn’t realise how much I’d get out of the consultation, and how much I’d learn. You measured the whole house! I have real drawings that I can give to a builder. You worked intensely thoughout and are so clever to be able to think up the designs so quickly.

I will definitely recommend you and will get you back again for advice about finishes and colours.

My Home…

“My house has 2 sitting rooms & neither are a decent size ( old style 3 bed house). Sliding doors between both rooms. The main sitting room has a bay window but the door is in a really awkward place.  I had also recently extended the dining area. I lost sleep trying to plan the 2 sitting rooms/ kitchen  and somehow  make it all  flow properly…So before I spent any more money I  decided to get some professional help.”

My 2 hour House Consultation…

“I had a 2 hour consultation with Eva in May 2013. I was a bit apprehensive at first but have to say I was more than pleased . Firstly Eva is a very nice person & I felt very comfortable with her. She walked me through every room and discussed what I wanted and what was possible.  After listening to my concerns &  ideas Eva then drew out a detailed layout for each room . She came up with some great ideas  which I am in the process of implementing . At least now I have a plan that I know I will be happy with when I am finished. I am only sorry I didn’t do this sooner as I would have saved a lot of money & avoided some heartache…”

Clara L, Blackrock, 12 June 2013

Thank you so much for your visit last week and for all your insight. I’ve been slowly digesting all the information and talking to my husband about our issues and needs. He really liked your idea for the bathroom but I need to convince him about painting the windows white, which I think I would love but he’s not sure about. We got our new door and is looking great, actually.
