Ester Ford, Designer and Interior Stylist

I’m Ester, I share my renovation and redecoration journey as my husband and I juggle family life caring for our two young daughters and our fur-baby Beetlejuice. I am a designer by trade, working for many years in the fashion industry and then creating my own kidswear brand as I learned to balance my career alongside motherhood. Nowadays my passions lie in interior design and styling.

I’m a property enthusiast and while my personal portfolio is somewhat abstract (it’s stuck to my vision board!) I work to help people sell their properties and buy their dream homes in the wonderful and vibrant city of Bristol, UK. I began staging properties in early 2024 and very quickly saw the impact this had on peoples experiences of selling unfurnished homes, the results speak for themselves! By September 2024 I asked Tess to join me in this growing business.

Tess Knight, Visual Merchandiser and Interior Stylist

I’m Tess and I live on the outskirts of Bristol with my partner, two kids and two crazy chihuahuas. I have a passion for interior styling and fashion. Having worked in visual merchandising in London and Bristol for over 10 years, and then starting a family, I embarked on a career in interior styling and property staging.
