Hi, my name is Pip and I would love to help you transform your rooms into beautiful living spaces.
I work from a well-equipped workroom at home and I have 20 years' experience in the design and manufacture of soft furnishings.
The materials I use are of the best quality and all my products are well packaged and couriered to your door ready to install (all necessary components and instructions are included).
I can offer you fabrics from all the major suppliers (eg James Dunlop, Warwick, Charles Parsons, Maurice Kain etc). You just need to let me know the name and colour of the fabric and which supplier it's from and I will order it for you.
Alternatively, I will work with fabric you supply me (used fabric or curtains must be well cleaned prior to sending to me).
Email me to learn the very simple measuring process which ensures you get the maximum benefit from your new furnishings.
If you need sunscreen, roller, venetian or other blinds to complement your romans and curtains I can arrange these too - all at very competitive rates.
For more details and photos of my work have a look at my website and email me for a quote today - http://www.mckenziehouse.co.nz.

b**9 (178 Tuesday, 26 April 2022 )Pip is one of those rare souls who goes out of her way to help, above and beyond what is expected. I'm very thankful for the wisdom and extra work she put in to make my curtains a wonderful experience, despite problems from my side with the fabric supplier. Her expertise made all the difference. My curtains turned out beautifully - very high quality and with the right choice of pleating, as per her advice. I would recommend anyone using Pip's services. They come at a very competitive price too.
l**********g (15 Thursday, 11 August 2016 )Thank you Pip for the excellent job that you have made with making all our curtains in the house. Your attention to the details and the accuracy was excellent. I love the bay window seat squabs that you made as well. The whole house now looks complete and I am delighted with the results. I highly recommend Pip to anyone needing soft furnishings made, she does an excellent job and provides a wonderful service to clients.
k*********s (1471 Tuesday, 12 July 2016 )Pip did an amazing job on our blinds and curtains - the attention to detail and finished products are gorgeous. Pip also organised sunscreen blinds and installation for us which was really appreciated and then made some gorgeous cushions from leftover material - awesome. Nothing was too much trouble and Pip was really patient and so helpful in answering any questions I had. I am already planning to have more blinds made for other rooms and wouldn't consider going to anyone else. Felicity.
l*****w (67 Saturday, 18 June 2016 )Thank you so much for the Roman blind you made - I couldn’t be happier with it! The quality of the blind is excellent and the instructions to install were very easy to follow. Pip was lovely to deal with, her communication was very professional, fast and friendly. I highly recommend her service and will be ordering more blinds in the future.
m******1 (292 Wednesday, 18 May 2016 )Pip was brilliant to deal with. Quick, professional, friendly & helpful. Pip was also very accommodating and changed the header (from pencil pleat to eyelet) on some 'ready made' curtains I already had. The quality of the work she did was completed to a very high standard. Highly recommended.
n***y (84 Monday, 11 April 2016 )Pip is an incredibly patient and extremely helpful person to deal with (customer service A+++) and her drapes/blinds are top notch. She has gone above and beyond to help with sorting out my houselot of window treatments for our 1920s bungalow. I HIGHLY recommend Pip to everyone!
g****t (309 Sunday, 20 March 2016 )I am very happy with the two blinds that I got Pip to make for me. The quality of the workmanship is excellent and the instructions for installation very easy to follow. They look fantastic up and I will definitely use her again.

p*******y (274 Saturday, 27 June 2015 )I am so impressed with my gorgeous Roman Blinds - they look like pieces of Art. Pip made the whole process very simple with excellent communication and advice, and a whole lot of patience answering my myriad of questions. Our drapes are also beautiful. I can't recommend your service enough and will definitely be using you again in the future for more advice, blinds and drapes. Thank you so much.
d******7 (1081 Saturday, 21 February 2015 )Pip made us 8 Roman blinds in 2 different fabrics and in a variety of sizes. Every one was beautifully made and fit perfectly. Not only that, Pip is fabulous at communicating and worked around our timelines too. Thanks so much Pip we cant recommend you enough and will be back for more soon!

e*****o (164 Monday, 1 December 2014 )Pip made a mix of curtains and roman blinds for our whole house and we could not be happier. Pip was very helpful and always replied to emails quickly and thoroughly. Gave very concise but simple instructions for both measuring and hanging which made the process so easy. Her workmanship was beautiful and we would highly recommend her! Thank you so much Pip, we are so happy with them,much appreciated and all the best :)

a******3 (303 Thursday, 16 October 2014 )A year after having our curtains and blinds made they are still looking fantastic.With very large windows Pip managed to make our Roman sit and fold nicely without looking to bulky. Her attention to detail and professional manner was spot on. I would recommend Pip to anyone wanting a job well done.
Trader responded Monday, 20 October 2014Thanks Sandra! Yes, they were big windows! Great to hear everything is still looking good. Pip

i*****n (79 Thursday, 11 September 2014 )I have never had anything made from the internet before, so was rather dubious about having blinds made up , however, I did what you are probably doing now.. researched and read these reviews.You will NOT be disappointed with your choice should you choose to use Pip. From the first communication regarding a quote, I found Pip to be super efficient, professional , honest and very knowledgeable. She made me 4 huge roman blinds and also cushions. They look fabulous.gorgeous!! thank you so much!!!
Trader responded Wednesday, 1 October 2014Thanks very much Liz. I'm so glad they worked out well - as you say, the blinds were rather large! Thanks also for the photos - I think the blinds have finished your home off beautifully - great choice of fabric. Enjoy!
l*******o (267 Tuesday, 9 September 2014 )After doing my research and comparing Pip to Lahood and Harvey Furnishings, I was nervous at first, but even during their sales, Pip was better value. I started with a few roman blinds, and they were FANTASTIC! The guidance around suitable fabrics, the style that would suit our living area, and the quality of the workmanship meant I went ahead and ordered blinds for our entire house. They look great and I get great comments. It was a pleasure to work with Pip and I fully recommend her.
Trader responded Wednesday, 10 September 2014Thanks Elaine! The fabrics you chose were great to work with and they looked stunning made up. It was a pleasure to work with you too. Thanks again, Pip
n****1 (612 Monday, 8 September 2014 )Philippa was a pleasure to deal with right from the start. I found her very professional and willing to answer any of my questions.

Trader responded Tuesday, 9 September 2014Thanks Nicola! Hope everything is going well with your new addition to your family! Look forward to hearing from you again one day, Pip
d*****1 (101 Wednesday, 20 August 2014 )Pippa was timely in her response to questions and delivered great work within the given timeframe. We are very pleased with her customer service and workmanship. Will definitely use her again and will be recommending her to friends.
Trader responded Wednesday, 20 August 2014Thanks Claire - I loved the fabric you chose! Hope you enjoy the blinds.
d*****r (189 Sunday, 27 July 2014 )Pip is great to work with! Excellent customer service and she knows her stuff, adding value and ideas. I have no hesitation in recommending her and I just wish I'd come across her earlier to do all my blinds! Good price, great service, excellent product. Thank you!
Trader responded Tuesday, 29 July 2014Thanks! I hope the blind does the trick for you. Pip

m********p (1466 Saturday, 30 March 2013 )Absolutely amazing person to go through. She was so much more helpful than the two well known stores I went to and nearly half the price! She sent me samples and even looked for material that she thought would best suit our windows that we needed blinds. I started out only going to get one done but she was so helpful we ended up getting two. The blinds are beautiful and I couldn't have been happier with the quality of them. Thanks so much for your patience and help.
