Having lived in other people's dreams for 34+ years, we had grand dreams of our own when it came to our own “dream home”. We had taken the best ideas that suited us from them, friends' homes, display homes and a house full of much loved bespoke furniture … and then we found Vince! We gave him a list of wants, “must haves” and photos and dimensions of the furniture and let him loose. He didn't let us down. Even at the incomplete stage, it's obvious from friends' faces when they have a look that we definitely have the “wow” factor; to say we are thrilled is an understatement. And as for handling recalcitrant councils? Just leave it to Vince. What a gem!

Approximate cost: $Reasonable!
