Downsizing Services in Keysborough, Victoria

“Retiring, downsizing, moving State and in need of a new kitchen. Stressed? Oh yes! Where to start? Well, out walking our Dalmatian Bella, happenstance brought us to Keypiece Design Studio. We walked in unannounced and the rest as they say is history! Jo-Anne took pity on us, placed us firmly under her colourful Bird of Paradise wing and guided us seamlessly through what would have been a minefield for us. Imagine this poor lady visiting our home for the first time to be met with only one painting on the wall, little furniture and even less object d'art on show. No clues there then as to our lifestyle, likes and dislikes! She listened, engaged and actively encouraged our input. Jo-Anne's vast design experience, calm determined demeanour, exciting and innovative ideas resonated with us and saw us eager and impatient to proceed. Her relationship with Emma, Contractors, builders and suppliers alike was conducted with respect on both sides which saw the project move along swiftly. On paper the kitchen plans were inspiring. In reality the finished kitchen is my dream of stylish contemporary design. Everything and more that I could have hoped for. Soaring to ceiling wall cabinets with the most elegant sexy handles. A double butlers sink, my husbands only plea for inclusion. Being such a messy cook the huge double recycle pullout storage bins brings a self satisfied smile to my face every day they are used. The innovative graphite colour powder coated tin backsplash - Jo-Anne assured it was easy clean - and she was so right, is a triumph drawing the colours of the wall cabinets and bench tops together and a great talking point for guests. The black and white mosaic island bench ties in the kitchen and adds a dramatic pop of colour and interest. The handsome spotted gum wooden flooring grounds (no pun intended) not only the kitchen but also the dining and sitting room creating a spacious open feel that flows.There were no nasty surprises or budget overruns with work dovetailing seamlessly. Sometimes in life one just gets lucky. Luck was certainly involved in finding Jo-Anne but there was no luck involved in the design and implementation of our kitchen - that was due to sheer professionalism. Thank you Jo-Anne.”

“Fantastic design and styling. Most importantly, came in on budget and on time! I can highly recommend Provoke and will certainly use again!”

“After a consultation, Natasha presented fabrics, wallpaper, paint, door solutions and general suggestions that were aligned with my preferences as well as the existing house design. Her solutions to my tricky window requirements were perfect and her suggestion on wallpapering resulted in my formal living areas transitioning form good to "wow". She was the project manager and chose trades people with impeccable work ethic and skill. Talk to Natasha if you want to get everything done that you have put off for a long time because you need inspiration and someone who can keep the project on track.”
