"...delectable luxury, contemporary luxe with contrasting purity. There is often an audible gasp from people when they walk into the bedrooms." "Master of the art" "The most exciting element, however, is inside. Lancaster-based specialist painter and muralist James Mackie created blue-and-white landscapes in rococo frames and a geometric painted floor ...the perfect place to sip bohea - or perhaps something stronger." "His attention to detail is phenomenal. Everything has to be just right." "Well worth a visit." "A passion for design and a startling attention to detail." "A contemporary vision ... exquisite fabrics, delicate and sensual textures... crisp and immaculate." "James is passionate about how interiors affect peoples lives, their spirit and their moods" "Stepping into Mackies means escaping the shrill outside world and entering into one of sheer sensuality - sumptuous fabrics; jewel-like cushions; the softest throws; immaculate leather console tables; lovingly-built furniture; superb art; tempting paint colours that soothe and uplift - and immaculate service. At Mackies you'll never be sold anything you don't need or love. When I'm puzzled over a paint choice, James always picks out the right one - usually one I hadn't considered. In fact, all the staff share their knowledge and expertise generously." |
