TESTIMONIALS

"My husband and I renovated our family home in 2021. It was a challenging year where Covid significantly affected the industry with construction closures, materials limited, strict Covid rules and illness on top of the usual stresses surrounding a significant renovation.

However, despite all these difficulties, my experience working with Shellie and Mishell was wonderful and I truly enjoyed my year under their creative care.

They understood our brief from the beginning and we were on the same page from the start. We appreciated their attention to each detail with enormous commitment and authenticity - they work with heart. We put our trust in Shellie and Mishell, taking on their ideas and suggestions openly and because of this, our home is everything and more than we could ever have dreamt."

"Conway and Wise were recommended to us by a friend as an innovative and easy to work with interior design company. We weren’t disappointed. Shellie and Mishell worked collaboratively with us for more than twelve months transforming our twenty year old apartment into a beautiful, light filled contemporary home in Paddington that exceeded our expectations.

Very different in personality and outlook, Shellie and Mishell each brought their own unique skills and flair to a challenging renovation that taught us much about the importance of light, colour, fabric, flow and above all, harmony. Always ready to listen, they had firm views about what would and wouldn’t work. But they never sought to impose those views and readily accepted our preferences and 'must haves' to give us what we wanted.

They were invaluable in helping to find and coordinate the purchase of materials and furniture. And they were present at critical moments during their delivery and installation to provide quality control and ensure the tradies adhered to the design concept. We highly recommend Shellie and Mishell for the excellence of their design work, professionalism and personal integrity."

"Conway and Wise came to our apartment redesign at a stage when works had already commenced and managed to ease into the project with the enthusiasm, confidence and energy that we really needed as we were based in Dubai. Our renovations started as minor works but Conway and Wise took the concept to another level and transformed our residence into a beautiful modern Parisian style apartment. The older age of the building made work challenging at times but Shellie and Mishell were never phased and handled unforeseen challenges with a fantastic attitude.

Always happy to listen, discuss and work with us and the builders their assistance and ideas have been invaluable. Their professional manner and preempting of potential issues have been a great asset to our project. They have managed to keep the beautiful decorative features and blend them with the modern design to give us a space we love. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to bring style and beauty to their home or interior."

"I am absolutely delighted to provide a glowing testimonial for Shellie and Mishell's outstanding work as designers. Their creativity and vision have truly left an indelible mark on our project and we are thrilled with the results. C&W’s commitment to delivering exceptional results while truly reflecting our vision was evident from the very beginning. They listened to our needs and incorporated our preferences while still infusing their artistic flair.

The result is a home that is not only stylish - I still smile when I walk by the kitchen - but functional as well. C&W’s attention to detail combined with an innate understanding of aesthetics has transformed our space into a true work of art and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone seeking to transform their spaces into extraordinary living experiences."

"Conway and Wise have helped me twice with renovating my house. The first time was tricky for them as they came in to fix up mistakes that another interior designer had caused. Despite the challenges Mishell managed to pull everything together and make the best of what we had without having to redo all the furniture and finishes. We then asked Conway and Wise to assist us with another renovation, which they guided from start to finish. Mishell had amazing ideas and worked with our architect and builder to turn them into beautiful features and wonderful spaces. Mishell is creative yet practical and very talented at problem solving.

She also has a way of getting the best out of everyone around her and manages people with skill and kindness. She has an amazing attention to detail but still sees the whole picture. She can work with any budget and is also very generous with her time and her uplifting energy. I highly recommend Conway and Wise as probably the best interior design firm I’ve worked with as they exceeded all expectations."

"Any renovation is challenging, perhaps mine more than most. A psychotherapy space has very specific requirements. From our very first meeting, I could see that Shellie and Mishell just ‘got it’. They were receptive, imaginative and speedily created a compelling concept. From the outset I liked that the two had complementary perspectives and talents, yet were always respectful of each other. They were skilled in working effectively with me and managing my many concerns gently and logically, without losing their ever clear focus.

The relationship that developed between us made it easy for any of us to contribute creatively, or ‘give way’, as circumstances dictated. They liaised with tradespeople efficiently and seamlessly. They were diligent, conscientious and always willing to go the extra distance for me. I felt they were personally invested in an excellent outcome, which I am pleased to say they achieved. The end result was way beyond even my expectations. Their business efficiency, aesthetic sense, creativity and communication skills were all outstanding and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others."

"I can’t recommend Mishell and Shellie from Conway + Wise enough. This is the second time we have used them, the first was just for the interior of our house and this time we have built and redesigned the interior as well and the exterior our of new family home.

Their involvement from the outset ensured an exceptional outcome from the initial conception to the facade, and interiors and soft furnishings. Mishell had great ideas that were on the same page as me. She was wiling to go above and beyond and we cant thank her enough for designing our house into a fabulous family home. There is no way I could have done it without them."

"C & W we're selected to do an urgent small apartment renovation plus furnishings for us. Following basic instructions & property inspection, they went to work and very quickly produced plans for our review. C & W were very helpful, they recommended a Builder and arranged for a new By-Law & Strata approval.

With contracts in hand, our Builder commenced the building work. C & W undertook regular inspections of work to ensure job quality. We in turn received fortnightly progress Reports which gave us complete assurance that our job was on track. The Builder's work was excellent which was completed on time and on budget.

Then C & W came to give us more of their Professional expertise with an excellent choice of quality furnishings.

We are extremely happy with our home and cannot fault any aspect of work undertaken or management of the project. C & W come with our highest recommendation."

LORRAINE & KEVIN S.

"As a builder, working on Conway + Wise projects is always a pleasure. Shellie and Mishell provide highly detailed and thoughtfully considered construction plans that integrate seamlessly with their finishes schedules. This not only ensures the build runs smoothly and efficiently, but also allows us to deliver accurate estimates to clients from day one.

They take great pride in their work and are frequently onsite, carefully working through the finer details. They don’t shy away from construction challenges and are quick to offer smart, practical design resolutions when needed. Both are approachable, fun to work with and have the ability to adapt their designs to suit a wide range of project constraints, whether that’s budget, space or timeline.

It’s a real asset to work with designers who have been involved in so many projects, including their own. Their deep understanding of the entire process, from early planning and design right through to construction and handover, sets them apart. I look forward to collaborating with them again in the future!"
