Thank you so much for giving him this opportunity! He had an absolutely FANTASTIC time He came to see me first thing Monday morning and brought me a little gift! He is certain he wants to attend Unitec now and will start in July this year.

I LOVE my job and this is why... Giving someone a chance to realise their dream is the most fantastic feeling! Thank you for the photo's, they are great & show just how 'hands on' your workshop was.

Please pass on my sincere thanks to Amanda for allowing CJ to complete this, CJ was VERY impressed with her!

Just a note to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the course on Saturday and was sorry to have missed the afternoon.  It was very informative for me and it was gratifying to hear a competent, professional designer speak eloquently and knowledgably about her subject matter.  I would love to come back and do the 'Colour' segment. Jane Lyon-Curtain Exchange

It inspired me to look at colours in different ways and how they compliment each other. The course material was informative, interesting and relevant to what I needed. Well done. I have already recommended you to others. Grant Peacock. GP Cabinets.

Thanks Amanda, I found the day very useful and at the time felt quite overwhelmed. Having stepped back and thought more closely about everything that you covered- it is falling into place. My paint draw downs have arrived and look great against existing cabinetry
The builder will be doing some work this week- kitchen false ceiling The painter called last night and will be starting in 2 weeks.
Will go out looking for wallpaper with my paint draw downs to guide me this weekend Thanks again- feeling back in control of my project.
Warm regards  Roz Mairangi Bay.
