"I am so energised and motivated by what I have learnt from Sue and her wealth of knowledge and expertise in interiors of which she shares. I absolutely love her Project before & after images in the final step.
Every step was essential information - it was seamless and very very enjoyable. Sue points out, that planning in the early steps with the vision and lifestyle statement is key to the seamless progression of your project. I only wish I'd found Boutique School earlier in my building and interiors planning. I have gained so much knowledge!"
