"I've loved Beth's work for a long time, so it was wonderful to have this chance to spend an hour with her chatting about my house. She was warm and lovely and gave me so many useful tips and ideas to think about. I was really impressed and grateful that she'd taken the time to look at the photos I'd uploaded before we spoke - she'd even taken the time to find a floorplan of my house. I'm feeling much more confident about designing my hall and lounge now. Thank you so much, Beth :)"
