Colin Mcshane Email and Phone Number

Trained as a cataloguer of antique and domestic furnishings, my career began with a 13 year spell at Lyon & Turnbull Auctioneers in Edinburgh's George Street. Having become & practiced as an auctioneer, I changed direction & moved in to property management & estate agency resulting in a long, happy & successful spell & association with DJ Alexander. The skills of my early career inc the know-how to source good, interesting & stylish furnishings led me in to furnishing & dressing many properties for the letting & sales markets & soon I was also project managing redecoration & renovation projects. The marriage of all my work life skills it seems had led me to a position of being able to indulge & make a living from creating & transforming interior spaces. Even as a child I was known to move a chair or an ornament ever so slightly to create a better effect! Interiors for me has always been a matter of instinct as well as a passion. In 2008, Colin McShane Inventory Services (of which Colin McShane Interior Styling is a division) was formed. I believed I'd amassed a relevant sufficiency of not only skills but confidence as well to steer my own ships & the addition of GirCo followed just over 4 years later. I have never really set goals in my life, I have largely enjoyed, savoured & learned all that brought me fulfilment & purpose which always in turn took me naturally to the next stage & level. I've also been very fortunate to have worked with & for many who inspired me...
