"Having found an old cupboard in a little local antique shop, I asked Georgie to restore and paint it for my little grandson’s nursery. We had a number of conversations and exchanged various ideas. Eventually we settled on jungle theme. The whole process was great fun and I was so impressed with Georgie’s creative and imaginative approach. The finished result was even better than I hoped. There were monkeys, elephants and a tiger, wandering through lush jungle greenery. There was even a crocodile lurking in the water. My grandson had such fun spotting and identifying all the creatures including the snake and the birds which we adults missed at first. It was a wonderful transformation of a previously tired old piece of furniture which now has pride of place in his room and filled with his favourite toys and will become a family heirloom! We really love what you have achieved."

"Georgina is in a class of her own as one of the few fully skilled exponents of traditional furniture restoration, painting and paint finishes. She worked for me for many years and I implicitly trust her abilities."
"Georgie is an outstanding specialist painter. We couldn't find the right colour for our drawing room. She mixed different options for us and we were able to discuss them with her. She really listens and is able to achieve exactly what one wants. The colour drew together our antique furniture, plates etc. and she made sure the light was taken into account. In another room with a big tapestry, she mixed for us a perfect colour, not grey as suggested by other paint experts. She then hand drew and painted a gothic pattern on the wall up four flights of stairs. Her colour mixtures enhance and add coherence to our rooms. She is amazing and a delight to work with."
"The work that you have done to our drawing room walls is beyond good. I get so much pleasure from them that I detour through the room on my way anywhere. As you know there are quite a few 'items' to hang, we just can't bring ourselves to cover any part of your work, so they all remain in the attic!.... What a pleasure it was having your humour about, I still cherish the time you were here. Love and thanks."
"I entrusted Georgie with 12 blacked-laquered Regency chairs with flower paintings. At least 3 needed extensive work. It was great to have the benefit and her knowledge and advice. She has restored the lacquer and flower painings to their former glory, but in a way that was always sensitive to their age etc. I was so delighted with the result. There may be someone out there who can do as good a job, but I doubt it."
