Being able to recommend Paul's talent always serves my clients and myself very well. Apart from excellent taste, he is sensitive to the clients' needs and budget, always making them feel like they are getting the 'star' treatment. Every time he comes up with solutions and ideas which never crossed our minds - and this is why he has become the 'go-to' decorator for questions beyond furnishings and swatches. I love how he can study a space and create a whole new configuration which no one else ever saw. Paul has an impressive scope which is never limiting. Whether it is traditional, contemporary or of another culture - he just gets it. He is the Ace in my pocket. **Comment from re:source lifestyles:** > Thank you for your review and referrals.
