Just wanted to say what an amazing result we have in the apartment common areas. The work is almost complete. There is an owner on the commercial floor who is refusing to have his doors painted, and one on middle floor is unoccupied at present so that may take a bit to round up access.
Each part of the scheme is splendid in its originality and its dramatic effect. The result is how the EC wished. I trust that time will allow all other owners to feel the same way. Thank you for liaising on site again and for your help through this project. It will be a joy if we can get the building in print.
I made my first visit today to the above after the painting and adjustments had been made to the lighting. I LOVED it. It's BOLD, it's FRESH, it has SOUL and it is OUT THERE….the building has come alive again.
We shall be meeting on May 4th with any disgruntled owners and hopefully by that time they will have gained an appreciation of the completed work.
I hope you are as pleased with the work as much as both myself and Camille are.
After five years of successful trading, our cafe needed a refresh. working with someone like Nadine from DNA Design made the whole process a pleasant journey. After discussing the brief, it was a welcome relief to work with someone who is so insightful and could embrace and enhance our original ideas. She is a great collaborator, is passionate about colour and design and worked tirelessly to achieve our vision. She not only found the perfect wallpaper, but matched it with some great Porter’s paint products, retro lights and fans to really bring the design together. Nadine worked way beyond the call of duty and genuinely cared about the project and us. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Now that the dust has settled I thought I’d drop you a quick line to advise you what a pleasure it was selling your property.
This is now the third time I’ve had the privilege of viewing one of your properties and this time I was lucky enough to represent it.
You may not be aware the sale price we achieved for your property is a street record and one that I expect will stand for some time. I put this down to the way it was so professionally executed, with such flair for colour and providing that essence of wanting to come home to such an environment. It immediately captured your senses and definitely demanded your attention. Nothing was missed, such an eye for detail.
No pressure Nadine, however, I eagerly await your next property!
I had no idea where to start with my own place- and it all just seemed too hard. I walked away knowing exactly what I wanted and needed, to create the perfect space for me. The best part was, it wasn’t someone else’s opinion on what they thought I should do based on their tastes, or what was ‘in’ right now. I feel motivated and inspired and can’t wait to get started! Annette Staglieno Marketing Manager- Australian Artists. If you are thinking of making changes to your home then your first stop should be the “ Blueprint Workshop”, at DNA Design!
You will walk away with the knowledge and confidence to start right away.
I was surprised at how much fun it was and Nadine made me feel so at home that I didn’t want to leave . Looking back, I wish I had been able to do this course earlier, because I would have done a whole lot of things differently from the beginning and would have saved myself a lot of money as well.
Nadine I love the way you follow up on everything, to make sure I stay on the right track ! Your knowledge and contacts are invaluable!
Thanks so much, I loved everything about this course.
As a business owner in the Australian art market, I can see the value of the Blueprint Workshop for my clients. It provides the opportunity to explore a new perspective on your own space and personality. Nadine presents the workshop in an encouraging, positive and enlightening way, to assist you to uncover your blueprint needs.
Prior to attending Nadine’s workshop, if somebody had asked me what my taste or style was in relation to my space, I would not have been able to answer. I had no idea where to start, it all seemed too hard.
The day I spent with Nadine was such an amazing eye opener for me. I learnt how important my space was to my well being and discovered quite a lot about myself as a person and what it was that I wanted to surround myself with. This workshop is a fantastic way to start your decorating journey and I highly recommend it to anybody who is interested in making their space the best it can be for them.
For years I’ve known that our open-plan living space was ‘missing something’. When I read about Nadine’s Blueprint Workshop, I took the day out to do the course. Not only was it a fun day, it was an invaluable experience. After doing Nadine’s one-day workshop, I discovered how to achieve balance, harmony and warmth in our home.
The workshop demonstrates that everyone responds to colour in different ways. We learned which colours, textures and finishes will bring balance to our space.
Nadine believes that we all thrive in the right environment and the workshop gives us the tools to implement change in our space. I needed some direction and I certainly came away feeling inspired and motivated to make our space work for us.
I can highly recommend the Blueprint workshop and also Nadine’s optional ‘follow-up day of shopping’. Wow…I wish I’d done it years ago. My family is now thriving in our new space and the great thing is….it didn’t cost the earth.
Leveraging the palette from our existing furniture and art work, Nadine partnered with us to help us make bolder colour decisions that evoke emotion and mood in each room. The value of her consulting was not only colour section but also important insights on where and how to use it. We are delighted with the final results; warm inviting rooms enhanced but not dominated by colour.
Following our first interview with Nadine through to moving in and furnishing our house, Nadine was a great help. Her advice or recommendations on design, layout, colour scheme and other aspects of our renovation were invaluable. Her “hands on” approach in relation to understanding the house and understanding our personalities made a big difference, particularly in relation to the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. We had several visits to tile, stone and lighting shops where Nadine was able to guide us through various products and create a potential relationship between the product and our house which made our decisions a lot easier. My wife and I are very happy with the appearance of our house both internally and externally to which Nadine had a massive contribution and we are forever grateful. Should we ever renovate, re-build or re-furbish in the future, Nadine will be the first person we call.
From our initial meeting five years ago to align and discuss design & colour selection for Facades of houses I have always felt that Nadine has always had the answers when it comes to colour & design. Nadine’s attention to detail is flawless & is extremely patient with her clients. Nadine’s professionalism, knowledge & flexibility sets her apart from others in her field. Her personality and enthusiastic approach is a recipe for success.
Being the business owner as Nadine is, it is really easy to see her passion come out in her chosen field as her attention to detail is prevalent.
What an absolute pleasure to deal with and would have no hesitation in recommending Nadine’s services.
Nadine was absolutely delightful to work with on the internal and external colour selections of our home. We had a last minute change on our external selections and had sleepless nights to make final decisions on our colouors. Nadine was fantastic and extremely helpful with the recommendations on the amended colour combinations. Thanks a lot Nadine for your great services and we look forward to working with you again.
Nadine was an absolute pleasure to work with on deciding the external colours of our apartment building in Darlinghurst. The owners corporation sought Nadine’s expertise in colour selection to decide what colour to repaint our building which contains 14 apartments. The building was built in the 1920’s and is located in a heritage conservation area which made this a unique process. Nadine has a very hands on approach, meeting myself and other owners on site several times and painted samples on the walls to ensure we were happy with the decision. Nadine also provided us with photo shop images of the proposed colour on our building which the owners found extremely useful and also assisted in the subsequent council application. It was not an easy process to have 14 owners all agree on a colour however Nadine was extremely patient and understanding throughout the process. The job is now complete and we are all extremely happy with the result and the colour choice. I would highly recommend Nadine’s services.
Nadine worked passionately at creating a new colour scheme for our building- Glo apartments. This was no easy feat, due to the complexity of the building and the fact that there are 91 apartments. Nadine worked diligently at ensuring all members were heard and committing herself to the process until the new and fantastic result was achieved. Working with a real hand’s on approach, ensuring samples were painted onto the building and owners could see the colours on the actual walls, in all lights of day.
The EC committee are extremely happy with the updated look and comment on how fresh and harmonious the building feels. The Strata management- Wellman Strata, are also extremely happy with the end result and have no hesitation in recommending DNADesign
I thought you might like to know. All works have been completed and all contractors ,did an excellent job. Our owners are very happy with the result although, personally, I would still have strongly preferred your more adventurous colour scheme. The beige scheme has helped our building look less obvious and we are glad to be rid of the previous ‘housing commission green’ colour scheme.
Most importantly, the building looks SO much better.
May I thank you for your work. It has certainly added value to our property.
