Thank you Carla and the team at “Make Your House A House” for the tremendous results you achieved in our home. We lived with our lounge room “undecorated” for many years waiting to find just the right items. Being able to go to one location and deal with one person who was able to coordinate everything was fantastic. We found the in-home assessment to be very beneficial and were impressed with Carla’s no fuss, no hard sell, ideas for our lounge room and bedroom. Within a few weeks of our initial approach to MYHAH, Carla had transformed our home into a warm and inviting haven we all love to be in.
Many thanks Carla. We have, and will continue to highly recommend you and MYHAH as an extremely professional and positive decorating experience.

Hi Julie,
Just thought I would let you know that the following has occured...
no one wants to help me cook dinner
no one wants to do the jobs or do the dishes....
All as they want to do is head for the couches and not move!
They are really beautiful, comfortable and I would like to thank you for all your assistance and advice. We are all very happy with the comfort, design and the size.
(The one that loves them the most is the daugther that complained about the red color for sixteen weeks!)
I would also like to thank the delivery guys they were very patient with the whole delivery and took time and care, which was lovely - and I really appreciated the couch being delivered direct to our lounge room.
Thanking you, kind regards - Maria (Melbourne)

Thank you Carla for making the experience of re-dressing our living areas such a pleasure. The home consultation was a great way for you to get an understanding of our tastes and the spaces available to work with. You were able to articulate our ideas and put items and colours together that look absolutely fantastic, something that we would not have been able to do without your help. Thank-you for enabling us to put colour and texture into our living areas in a tasteful way!

Hi Lisa, the furniture is coming up really great! Rust/orange colour makes a massive difference, as does the canvas! Haven't set up the rug yet.
Bed looks beautiful, the metallic black Europe pillows make it!

Hi Lis and Norm,
Just wanted to say congratulations the store looks beautiful. So many great things to look at I'll have to come back again to take it all in. But overall it looks fabulous and you should be very proud of yourselves for creating it in such a relatively short time. I know it has been very hard work and very stressful but I'm sure it will all pay off. I think people will be talking about it all over town. Tex can't wait to come and see it, I told him tonight how fantastic it looks.
Again congratulations. Kim xxxx

Thanks Kylie

Hello, I thought I would send a quick email to say thank you to the girls that helped me pick out the hundreds of cinnamon bark swirls this morning. I used these for a mirror project I have been working on. I found this old mirror at a garage sale for $5 and sanded it back and repainted the frame. I was looking for something natural to give it some texture to adorn the frame, and the cinnamon bark did just the trick! I have attached a photo of my finished product. Thanks again for the great service and I will be back again soon to visit your store once relocated.
Kind regards, Yvonne (Bendigo)

Dealing with Alyse on the phone when ordering the bar stools, was an absolute pleasure. She phoned back immediately to say that she didn't have an answer as yet and was great, she let me know when she would have an answer and made sure that she called when she said she would. You should know that she impressed me a lot!
Thanks a bunch – Mike 10x Bendigo

Dear Lisa and co,
Ta for your phone call yesterday to check on the dining chairs we picked up last week. We absolutely love them, they're quirky and fun and are just what we wanted - thought I'd email you a pic to see for yourself! "Where did you get those?" is the first question my friends are asking, so I'm singing your praises so hopefully we can all share the love in Bendigo!
Thanks for your great service and price, much appreciated.
best,
Lauren Mitchell and family.

Having recently moved into a brand new home and not sure what to do with the spaces, the design service at make your house a home made the decisions easy. Carla walked me through many ideas and possibilities, making time to really understand my tastes and expectations. The results were fantastic the shapes and colours blended to make a modern but comfortable and classic feel for the home.

"Such a great transformation - we are actually using this space now!! It was a really fun project and not too expensive as we made gradual changes in keeping with our budget - I will certainly involve you in other rooms."

I walked in to Make Your House a Home to search out some ideas for my new house.
Lisa was there to greet me and together we set on the journey to convert my new house to a home.
My house was totally bare and I had some ideas but I just didn' t know what would work the best.
Then my saviour Lisa ventured over to my house, talking through some ideas so she understood my ideas and taking measurements and photos so she could go away and think about what would look best.
Lisa produced a book of ideas with materials and photos for us to discuss and perhaps for me to use in my house.
It was great seeing the ideas in front of me so I had a better idea of how things would look.
I trusted Lisa' s instincts and now my new house has been transformed into a beautiful home with great colours, fabrics, cushions, rugs, wall paintings, foot stools and lamps.
All my guests comment on how fabulous my home looks, the first word is WOW.
Thank you Lisa at Make Your House a Home in Bendigo for Making My House a Home!

Hi Lisa,
just thought I'd say thanks for organising everything!!! The couch is amazing I love it & can't wait to start using it!!
the water feature is awesome, I thought it was going to be much smaller & it's going to look so good in front of our bedroom.
I'll make sure I send you over some photos so you can see the difference. You'll have to come over one weekend for a BBQ if you have time to check the final product.
Just wanted to say thanks again for everything there is no way I could have come up with such a great look on my own!!
Cathie (Rupunyup)
Dear Lisa,
Thank-you for the generous support for our new showroom displays.
Our opening weekend was a huge success and the showroom has hosted a steady stream of potential clients ever since.
We received nothing but positive comments about our new displays, which were beautifully complimented by accessories supplied by you.
Thank-you once again for your generosity and be assured your store will be our first point of call when we are next in the market for fabulous decorator items.
Yours sincerely

Dear Tarryn,
The sofa bed arrived promptly on Monday morning delivered by two delightful gentlemen. We are very happy with the sofa and more so by the bed component of it. Thank you for all your help in enabling our purchase of this item. We appreciate your promptness with responding to our questions and the excellent follow up we received by your self. We have already recommended your services to our friends here and in Melbourne.
Regards,
Kim Stokes - Perth, WA
Hi Lisa,
Thank you very much for your advice and colour sample. Your suggestions are great and I'm keen to implement them - once the other work (pergola and landscaping stage one) is carried out. We'll be touch nearer to our relocation time regarding blinds etc.
Kinda Regards,
Suzanne (Kyneton)
Thanks to Lisa and the Team at 'Make Your House a Home' for transforming our home.
We had some basic ideas and were not really sure of how to go the next step. Enter Lisa!
We strongly recommend Lisa and her team - right from the beginning at the initial consultation where Lisa took the time to understand what we liked and wanted to achieve. Lisa also subtly introduced new ideas and concepts that we loved but would never have thought of by ourselves. We certainly received our value from this consultation by asking many questions and seeking advice.
The initial consultation is the best valued money anyone looking at improving their home can spend, from this a plan is provided and there is never any pressure to accomplish any of it in a certain timeframe – it's a master plan that you can achieve at your own leisure and according to your own finances, taking one step at a time.
Though in our case, once we got started implementing the ideas from Lisa – we couldn't stop! We were eager to see the reality of our plan come to life, Lisa was great in assisting with further advice & ideas along the way - even coming back to our home again to ensure everything went smoothly.
Our children love the color of their feature walls in their bedrooms and we all love the color recommended for various walls in our kitchen & living areas that unites the whole house in together but has each room with its own unique inpiduality in layout, furniture and accessories.
We love our home and enjoying the atmosphere of the changes we made through Lisa and 'Make Your house a Home' team.
Thank you very much
Paul & Belinda (Strathfieldsaye)
Thank you to Norm and Lisa who with your creative ideas, impeccable service, and final touches have made our house a home. Perfectly!
To Lisa and Norm,
I am delighted with everything I have purchased; it looks lovely and suits everything. The bed linen purchased has been commented on. Thank you very much for your warm, friendly, and alternative services.
Thank you Norm, who didn't mess around upon delivery and installation.
Thank you Barbara and John Bickley (Goornong)
We wanted to update our living area, but with a business and young family, we didn't have the time to look around for furniture or ideas. We also had no idea when it came to matching things and choosing colours and furniture.
We contacted 'Make Your House A Home' and one of their interior design consultants visited our house and immediately put our minds at rest. She presented us with new ideas, colour samples, paintings and furniture choices in a booklet showing us diagrams of furniture placement, samples of wall colours and advised us on curtain styles and patterns. We also received pictures showing us choices of furniture, artwork and rugs which would suit our home. All we had to do was contact her with our choices. She sourced the suppliers and did the rest.
Our living area has now been transformed from being dull with 'make-do' furniture, into a beautifully decorated modern room, and we didn't even have to leave the house to do it!
Darren and Kylie Kay (Kennington)
Thank you Lisa. Your expertise when coming to choose furniture was really helpful. I have received my furniture safely and Adam really loves it. The colour looks fantastic with all the wood we have in our house. I can't wait to put up the light fitting now.
Sally (Longlea)
We had the feature walls painted last week and they look fantastic, you should call around one day and have a look.
- thanks again for all your help... we are sooooooo happy!
Shona, Chris & Teal (Strathfieldsaye)
Thanks for the extra blue samples - I'm inclined to go for the "Limousine" colour
Thanks for everything. Feel free to call in anytime and see the results"
