“Just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our new kitchen. Your vision in designing such a functional and appealing room is a real credit to you. The large island bench has given us way more storage than we ever had and is used daily for sitting eating and of course drinking. Many a night we struggle to get our guests to leave the bench for a seat in the lounge. It's not only functional it's a really appealing area to sit.
So many thanks from us….. we love it and you have done an amazing job with your design and overseeing the entire project. One of the few renovations for us that was fun!” Sue and Paul

Sian Gillanders of SG Design designed and oversaw our new kitchen in Alexandra. The kitchen is a testament to Sian, it is stunning in its visual look, in its practicality of use and the impact it has when you enter the room. This was really made clear to us on completion as it was put to extreme use almost immediately with a wedding in the family, a number of Italian relations arrived from Italy and we all know about Italians and their passion for food, they descended and put my beautiful , new kitchen to use, and it performed even better than expected, it was fantastic, the work space was huge, and everything was easily accessible and well positioned, the extended family really put the kitchen through its paces like you would only see on TV.
Thank you Sian for your on to it ideas, your ability to listen and convert what I the client is thinking, your clever imagination and your knowledge, not only of the practical drawings etc., your natural easy communication and your passion for design and completing the most workable, gorgeous, styley kitchen i could have wished for.”
