My wife Jean and I were delighted with the finished product Allie and her team delivered for our place in the Northern Beaches. This was a reasonably large job, encompassing multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, floors and a pool cabana conversion into a granny flat. Allie has an incredible eye for detail and design. Being able to align our fairly complicated design palate (coastal, Hamptons and country) with a series of finishes that have complimented each other perfectly and this was echoes by our family and friends on completion. Allie also strong relationships with wholesalers, which we would never have had access to as a retail buyer. We managed to consistently save 50% off retail prices for top quality furniture, which in itself would have saved us the equivalent of the design fee we paid for Allie's services. We were also able to avoid other costs like architects and draftsmen as a result of the software made available by Allie and her team, which was sufficient to design a major kitchen rebuild and various other structural adjustments to the house. Patience is key and whilst we thought this was a 6-12 month process, it took closer to two years. Having a patient designer who understands there are at times competing priorities was critical to getting the job finished e.g. my wife and I were both working full time with a young family and like everyone, regularly had conflicting views around the best material/design path forward. I am not sure every designer has that type of patience, so we were very thankfully on that front. We love our house and have benefitted from a handsome uplift in the value of our property as a result of Allies hard work. Most importantly, Allie and her team are a lovely bunch and a pleasure to work with. We will be recommending Coast Hamptons Design to all of our friends and family.
