Kim is a perfectionist in her work and she backs this up by providing excellent service. I am delighted with the blinds she has made for my french doors - it wasn't a a straightforward job but the end result is great!

Just had floor to ceiling voiles made and fitted by Kim. They look absolutely stunning, not an easy job to do but kim has made them so beautifully. It was so easy. Kim measured, arranged for the track fitting and then fitted them. Great service and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend her to anyone

We are so pleased to have found Kim who is a true perfectionist. Curtains for our bay window with an uneven floor proved a challenge. Kim is a font of knowledge and advised us on the best type of curtain (single, double pleat...), she installed a new curtain rail, provided black-out lining and, knowing that the curtains would drop a little after a couple of weeks, returned to remeasure, took them down and came back to reinstall. The result is perfect. We strongly recommend Kim.
