So, you’ve just bought your house

CONGRATULATIONS

You’re stoked! You love it!

But also…

You’ve got a list of about 178 things you want to renovate:

"Those curtains NEED to go..."

"If we just RIP OUT the carpet and put in floorboards"

“A coat of paint will TRANSFORM the entire room..."

So first you unpack the boxes, put the rest in the garage “until you find the time”

(2029 sound convenient?!)

and then it’s time to start renovating to make your dream home a reality

Except…

Which shade of white should we choose?

“Which shade of white should we go with?”

“If we choose this tile, will it work with these fixtures?”

“Will the curtains match our new cushions?”

if we choose this tile will it work with these fixtures

It’s OVERWHELMING, and can lead to decision paralysis

(that thing where you do NOTHING and have to live with the red splash back forever).

What you need is an expert who can help you make decisions, see the overall vision and formulate a plan to match your budget…so you can feel CONFIDENT about your renovation (and avoid costly mistakes). 

That’s where I come in…

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

  • My experience with Carina has been great.

    Carina came up with a fabulous concept for us. Any help that I needed was answered straight away. I would highly recommend No Buttercups and would use again.

    — Raylene

  • We loved how she instinctively knew what would suit the room and home.

    We started with our kitchen and loved Carinas ideas so much we asked her to plan our bathroom too. Carina was able to bring together our different tastes and ideas and offer options that appealed to both of us.

    — Anna

  • It was a stylish yet fun mix for a teenager.

    The colour and soft furnishings consult I had with No Buttercups was great. She listened to my ideas then developed a fantastic range of colours and textures to use for the room.

    — Sylvia

  • Really happy with end results.

    The home design consultation and advice from No Buttercups was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable and worked with our tastes and plan to modernise lounge. Advice on paint colours, blinds, lighting and furnishings that modernised our lounge while working with existing fireplace features, and tied lounge and family room together.
