Recommendations
I approached Edwina as I was about to build my house as owner builder. I thought it would be great to have some help and fun with choosing colours and materials etc. I knew that through the build I would become too caught up in the building process so we sorted out a lot of colours, tiles, carpets and window coverings early on. Looking back on it I definitely didn’t have the time to spend on it later on in the build. I knew the look that I was after as this was my 4th house but Edwina certainly helped me achieve what I was after and tie everything together. Edwina was able to tap into my style very early on which made everything a lot easier. We have now moved into our house and I am extremely happy with how everything has turned out.
We’re thrilled to have an opportunity to recommend Edwina Hirst. For us she was a God-Send! Not only did she relieve the stress from the constant angst of what product to choose next for our major house renovation but she made it fun! Edwina’s warm and professional manner helped us glide through the decision making process. With Edwina’s help choosing the right paint colors, fabrics , carpets and kitchen cupboards was a breeze. The other wonderful result of Edwina’s advice has been that a few years down the track we still love the final result! Many thanks to you Edwina!
We approached Edwina to help us choose the external colour scheme of our house, we knew the feeling we wanted to create but had absolutely NO idea where to start! We felt overwhelmed with choosing a colour scheme. We knew we needed help! As soon as Edwina arrived her calm, professional and talented eye understood precisely what we were after and we worked together to select the colour that would best meet our needs.
Edwina patiently helped to explain the reasons behind colour choices, and the impact that they have and ensured that we were active participants in the process. It was an absolute pleasure working with Edwina and such a relief to know that the money we were investing in having our house painted was going to be a success. Edwina has a magical eye for style, sophistication and colour. She is extremely talented with her work and we will always be so grateful for her advice. It is with absolute pleasure that we recommend Edwina to our family and friends or for anyone looking to update their colour scheme.
We were introduced to Edwina when we needed help with choosing interior paint colour for our townhouse. We thought using a colour specialist was cheaper than marriage counselling, which was inevitable otherwise. What we got was so much more!
Edwina is now a family friend and we have used her amazing skills since to not only update our new home (inside and out), but also our industry style sound studio building. Her ability to conceptualise the aesthetic big picture and then execute on every little detail (often incrementally as budgets allowed) has seen us turn to her for the broadest range of projects. From styling and sourcing fabric for cushions, custom made lamps and chairs and lounges to paint colour, commissioned wall art for our children bedrooms to garage doors and bespoke kitchen designs, and of course those small styling pieces that make it all come together, she has exceeded every challenge we have asked of her. She has worked across both our contemporary (home) and industrial styles (studio) and been amazing in the visions she has helped us create. In addition to the personal value she has offered us her vast network of specialist contacts has opened up a new world of options that we would have taken years to discover, or probably would never have found, and her recommendations for other service providers have been so exceptional that we have happily used them again and passed on recommendations ourselves. Edwina has invested in everyone of our projects from the smallest to the largest as if it was her own.
We love Edwina (and of course all of her work) and incidentally so do our kids!
We can’t thank Edwina enough for all her help & guidance when we bought our new family home. Edwina made a big effort to really understand our brief/style and she was extremely mindful of the budget we had to work within. We always felt she was balancing both hand in hand with real consideration.
When it came to spending time selecting the pieces she was super patient and provided valuable feedback; we trusted her and leant on her heavily and we are so happy with the results. Her contacts and suppliers were fantastic, always reasonably priced and lovely to work with. I think this speaks to the strength of her relationships with them. The quality of the products have been outstanding as well. The execution of everything was fun to experience and her vision of the spaces really took shape when everything came together.
Being a residential real estate agent I have had experience over the years with a number of contacts within the styling industry. Edwina offers a very different level of service and has an extremely good eye for detail. She would be the perfect person to help with anyone looking to enhance their home to enjoy or add value if it was preparing for sale.
My wife & I very much look forward to working with her again and have already passed her details onto many friends and family.
