  • Marg C, Dalwood NSW

    “I cannot recommend the interior design services of Mel Hoekstra, more highly. I have recently renovated my old farmhouse, as well as adding a large extension. My brief to Mel was to create a cohesive feel between the new & old, and to also reuse some of my favorite pieces. I wanted a contempory classic farmhouse look. Mel nailed it!! She was able to interpret my style & ideas, as well as bringing a fresh, on trend look to the interior creating a comfortable, stylish home.”
