Before my home renovation I have trusted my own taste and end up a quite mediocre decor. Even though I like every piece I cannot see how they come together and make each space distinct. George is definitely the money well-spent. This is the first time I pay someone to help me spend, and it is totally wise. Our budget is on the mid-lower end but we want to achieve the best possible luxury outcome ( in our own definition) and George has definitely helped us to achieve that goal. The pieces we picked and the way he taught me how to plan the budget according their priorities have definitely helped me survived our renovation phase 1. Now I just look forward to the vision coming true. He knows what I like/dislike after spending 1 shopping together and it is just so organically collaborating. I am so happy to have hired George.

George helped transform my apartment into a space where I now enjoy living. George collaborated with me on my likes and provided a vision for the space and he made it into a pleasant and calming environment. He provides options and a positive outlook and truly makes a project fun for the client to work through and complete.

George was quick to respond when I reached out to him for the much needed interior design help I needed before a house warming party. He has a very keen eye and understood what I wanted around the home. George was able to use items that I already had plus getting only a few extras to complement and enhance the shelf designs. I was most happy that he was able to incorporate my daughter’s art work into the arrangements. I was able to entertain friends at my home during which everyone commented on the beautiful interior design. Thank you George for your creativity and dedication, to bring the warmth I hoped for, to my home! Hope to work with you on more projects around my home.

I’ve meet George for the first time, and I feel like I’ve known him already from the time I’ve spoken to him on the phone. My home consultation with him was fun, friendly and helpful, and exciting. He listens to our needs and at the same time put in his expertise on his design views. I can't wait to see what he'll do to our house. I'm confident in his design knowledge. Thanks, George looking forward to the transformation of our house.🥰
