Claire has brought her expert and creative eye everytime, as we've undertaken the decoration and interior design of our new house. We have hired Claire on a number of occassions from researching fabric\/furniture pieces, advice on cost-effective solutions through to the designing our art deco style lounge. It's fun working with Claire but more than that she always brings a fresh perspective to our inital ideas and has sourced a cost effective approach on every occassion. If you're a busy working individual or couple I'd highly recommend Claire to Project Manage your latest interior design dreams. <\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>
