Renee and Daniel are thrilled with both the results and the process of their renovation. “It was great working with Steve and Polly,” they say, adding that “we hope we will have another opportunity soon!” Steve is also happy with the results, citing the black sink and mixer from Roberstons as the stand-out feature as it emphasises the black grout used in the subway tiles.
