"Well…..I’m finding it difficult to know where to start to explain the impact that Claire and Mollins Antis have had on both my house, and me.
At the initial contact, I was only interested in having one room modified, to accommodate my ailing husband’s needs. Shortly thereafter my dear husband deteriorated and then passed away, so plans were put on hold. After re-establishing contact with Claire, she couldn’t have been more sympathetic, empathetic and kind.
During our very first meeting Claire was very gentle and aware that any changes to my environment were going to bring emotional responses. She took care to ensure that the three rooms I now had decided to renovate would, not only, reflect my own tastes, but would include all the elements that were important to both myself and my late husband. Although she had never met him, I felt as though she understood us as a couple.
The project included renovating the lounge (as originally planned), the dining room and the hallway. I gave Claire a budget, which she was extremely careful to adhere to.Her initial mood boards were AMAZING, and I was quite taken aback at how quickly she had captured the essence of my taste and requirements. I have two cats, so the designs needed to be practical as well as beautiful – and ‘boy’ were they…?
After firmly stating that I wanted EVERYTHING that was shown on the mood boards, we took our time and modified some elements in each room, and Claire gently pushed me out of my comfort zone with paint colours and coverage. The final effect of which I am thrilled with.The lounge and dining room both needed to have some building/installation work done before the decorating, flooring, lighting and plumbing could commence. Claire was amazing at coordinating all of the ‘trades’ and took a great deal of the stress away from this process. The people that Claire uses were all really genuine lovely people, and we all became friends during the build.
I cannot recommend Claire, and Mollins Antis, highly enough. I know some people say that quite glibly, but I genuinely mean it. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of the project. I am very proud to show my friends, who have all said how beautiful my house is.
Thank you Claire, Ben and the Mollins Antis ‘family’. You are all now ‘my family’ and welcome to my lovely house whenever you want coffee and cake!!"
