Hove
This spacious Victorian villa had beautiful bone structure, but was outdated and tired and many of the original architectural features had been removed. To increase the light and improve the flow we commissioned crittall doors and screens throughout the ground floor which opened up the space and allowed light to stream in. The reconfiguration of the kitchen and utility room allowed access to the cellar which was converted into a cosy cinema room. The addition of a tessellated tiled floor and a redesign of an imposing stained glass window in the hall continued to flood the house with gorgeous light. A bespoke new Shaker style kitchen was installed, as well the redesign of the bathrooms throughout the property. Many pieces of beautifully crafted bespoke furniture were commissioned including a well thought out dressing room, to ensure the house works for the clients now and for many years to come.
"We are delighted with the way Georgina transformed our town house, both from a design and a project management point of view. The first time we met we were impressed that Georgina was much more concerned with finding out what we wanted rather than talking about herself. We wanted an overall colour scheme for the whole house, and the scope included decorating and carports/flooring/tiling throughout, a new bathroom, a new kitchen and some furniture and joinery. She then came up with her ideas for an overall concept and for some features in the main rooms, and we were delighted - they were very much in tune with what we wanted. At all stages she sought our agreement and let us choose between options she found for us. She then managed the project very effectively: getting quotes from contractors she trusted, letting us choose them, and then managing them. In fact we were able to move out for five of the eight weeks, makings it easier for us and the workers, and Georgina oversaw the work. She kept us updated with item by item costs on an amazing spreadsheet. In the end it was done to a high standard and we are very pleased. Georgina was a joy to work with, with a good sense of humour."
