What Clients Say
I’m absolutely delighted with the beautiful lamps that Cecilia and Phil created for us—what an incredibly talented team! Phil transformed a set of old glass wine jars into beautiful lamp bases, which were complemented by Cecilia’s gorgeous hand-printed lampshades.
Phil is a true craftsman, able to turn almost anything into a beautifully finished and functional piece. Cecilia is such a talent with an exceptional eye for design, fabrics, and finishes,
They are such a lovely couple to work with, who really care about the finished work.
They communicate throughout the entire process on fabrics, colours, and finishes with the same care as if they were designing for their own home.
I can’t recommend them enough for any design aspects of your home.

What Clients Say
Cecilia and Phil are amazing. She has a great eye and exquisite taste, but is able to source materials and furnishings at very reasonable prices. He is meticulous and and efficient.
They are a great team. The project took longer than expected because of delivery delays but the project was completed by the time I needed the house finished.
A++ design and construction and I would work with them again any time!
