You may have the shabbiest palace in need of a complete makeover or an almost perfect penthouse that just needs a few final touches. If so, I can help!

Over the past 12 years I've worked as a female painter and decorator transforming countless homes into exciting new places to live. Now I'd like to help you to use your own skills to do the same for your home.

I came into decorating by an accident really. I found myself single in my late twenties and ended up buying a little flat. It was dated and modest, but I loved it. An old lady had lived in it before me, so it was full of things like sunflower tiles in the bathroom, and lots of lavender and magnolia. I set about updating it. It was just at the time when the internet was becoming mainstream (doesn’t that make me sound old?), but there was little information about decorating on there. So I had to do my research through books and asking tradespeople, and then trial and error.

However, I discovered that I loved doing it. I loved making the flat my own. I loved the creativity. And I loved the satisfaction it gave me. But because I was having to learn as I went along, it took a looooooong time. My friends started to notice the transformation in my flat, and asked me to help with their houses. I was struggling to juggle my corporate job with all the decorating, so I took the plunge – I did my exams in painting and decorating, qualified and left employment to go it alone.

12 years later, I know it was the best decision I ever made. I have been working professionally ever since decorating customer’s homes in and around where I live. Now you are able to use what I’ve learnt over the years to decorate your home beautifully without having to go to the hassle of finding a tradesperson. I can share all my hints and shortcuts here to give you perfect results each time.
