"I couldn't be more delighted or grateful for my consultation with Tommy Smythe. He understood my plans and offered me a solution to a problem with my kitchen plan that's been niggling at me for months. It was so great to hear his ideas and get his expertise, but also he was just a lovely conversationalist and so warm and friendly. He both inspired me and motivated me to follow my passions without spending too much thought on "the next buyer," and it was very reassuring. Thank you so very much!"

"This was great: I got to meet one of my favourite designers and get individualized advice on my upcoming projects. We also got through way more than I thought we would but also was never made to feel rushed. Such a great service to be able to get great advice at a fixed, flat, rate. Workshopped some ideas and got some excellent suggestions for local stores and options. Would highly recommend. "

He was also able to give me the names of local resources for fabric, wallpaper and restoration. He has given me ideas I would not have come up with on my own. Highly recommend!"
