Chapmans Peak – The Mint Experience

“The highlight this year for us has undoubtedly been the incredible transformation of  our  Cape Town condo. And having Sue (founder of Mint) handle this from start to finish was top of our wish list.

We are still pinching ourselves every day , so thank you so much Sue for this masterpiece. What you and your  team have achieved is just fantastic.  From interpreting our brief  that then extended into the innovative design, the renovation itself and all the finishes, to the furnishings.

We are still stunned at the magnificence of our place. We notice new design details every day. Your meticulous and thorough management with regular reports and feedback to us in Canada was so reassuring and consistent throughout the renovation.

To arrive in Cape Town and see the final result was like unwrapping the most spectacular gift. “

Mosaic SA private sanctuary

“We worked with Sue on a project at Mosaic Private Sanctuary, renovating our Lagoon Lodge and replacing furniture and fabrics for cushions and drapery. We had a very tight schedule to complete the project before we had a media launch for our Elemis BIOTEC Facials and products at our Mosaic Spa. Sue ‘pulled rabbits out of her hat’ to get the design concepts together, get orders completed and products on site prior to our launch. Everything was delivered on time and Sue personally came out to make sure everything was placed and styled perfectly, making us very happy clients! Thanks to Sue for all her work!”

Fresnaye refreshed

I have only had wonderful professional engagement with Sue from Mint – she has an inherent ability to understand my needs, my style and my colour scheme. She has the gentle skill of guiding you in the right direction making one believe that you got to the decision alone! Her efficiency in delivering a quality product on time IN Record time is phenomenal.

We had a problem with fading of some of the coverings, and Sue arranged for complete replacement of the fabric at no cost within a week – we further needed some more outdoor sofas done in time for my husband’s 50th, a last minute decision – and Sue managed to source, collect, recover and return the completed cushions all within 2 weeks! I highly recommend Sue Lloyd – Roberts for efficient, professional interior services.”

“Mint did an outstanding job in our kitchen. From designs, 3-D’s and detailed technical drawings to input on colours, tiles, flooring and fittings. This team were great to work with and we finally have our dream kitchen that fits our needs. Critical for us, as we were living in the house with our toddler during the renovation, was that it was completed exactly within the estimated time frame. Three weeks from start to finish. We felt comfortable with all the contractors.

The team always left the site tidy and Susan project managed with ease, attention to detail and was always available onsite. Can’t recommend highly enough!.”

“From the moment Mint was awarded the rooms refurbishment of Lagoon Beach Hotel there was action, Sue Lloyd Roberts worked tirelessly to ensure that all aspects were covered. She spent many a long day at the hotel ensuring that colours were correct, furniture was in the right position and that the lighting was perfect. Well done on a great result Sue”

Radiant Rondebosch

“Very true words “ the devil is in the detail”. Our beautiful home was just short of that before Sue stepped in to provide the ever important finishing touches that complete the picture. Sue redecorated our main bedroom, guest bathroom and added very important softs and furnishings to our lounge and entertainment areas.  It was a 100% turnaround and allowed us to enjoy and then sell our home quickly and successfully. Thank you Sue. No doubt our paths will cross again.”

“Sue matched our budget, practical needs and somewhat hazy vision with innovative and smart ideas and a touch of Mint magic – we now have a home that is a thing of beauty and that works for our family.”

“What a treat it was to have Mint do my ‘one and only’ dream bathroom. A very dated small space was completely transformed into a generous shower/wet room with gorgeous finishes. All tucked behind crisp white glass sliding bedroom cupboard doors. The team worked diligently and neatly and were finished in the specified time. Sue interpreted my brief perfectly and elements of the ocean were cleverly repeated in the texture and colour of the finishes, all of which make for a serene space that I love to relax and unwind in.”

“Meeting everyone’s demands in an office renovation is never easy, but we are all thrilled with the end result, so much so, the Chairman and trustees wouldn’t mind moving in!.”

Renovating during COVID

“Just wanted to say THANK YOU to you and your incredible team for making dreams come true! After the disappointment of the project being delayed for more than a year due to COVID19, we are absolutely thrilled to have finally managed to complete the bedroom wing renovation. Being able to give our tween girls a fresh, more modern bedroom look and feel, with individual touches and their own en-suite bathrooms, has been heart-warming seeing them using and appreciating their new personal space. Our guests are also lucky enough to enjoy an upgrade to the guest room and bathroom, so tastefully done.

I am extremely happy with the service that was delivered to me by Mint and will use them over & over again whenever I have the opportunity! Thanks again Sue for making this a home that genuinely reflects who I am!”

Newlands Reimagined

“The experience of renovating and furnishing our Newlands’ home from a distance was both fun and satisfying. It was enhanced on every level by Sue’s warmth, creative energy and breadth of experience and particularly by her ability to work with people in a calm and flexible way.

The addition of a guest cloakroom was genius and certainly adds to the value of the apartment. I am so pleased that I trusted your design vision! I can only thank you for your professional handling of potential difficulties with neighbours body corporate. Sue you have gone way beyond what I expected. Thank you.

Thank you for the amazing transformation from a fairly dark and quite closed-in ground floor, to an amazing modern open plan apartment. I would never have imagined such a dramatic transformation.”

Newlands Renewed

“This was a challenging project given that we brought so many of the materials with us, and that we had such a fixed idea of what the outcome should be. We are very pleased with the final results, the quality of the building work and the overall project management.”

Retirement Enriched

“A very very big thank you from me and my family for the extraordinary effort and spirit of caring that helped make a potentially difficult project one of great joy and creativity … In a project such as this one where the design is very specialised and tight, (with severe working constraints), everyone was tested and came up trumps!”

Finessing Fernwood

“It has been such a pleasure working with you, Sue. You are professional and so intrinsically invested in making sure everything from start to finish on the project was 100%. Your team is top class too, so polite and respectful of our living needs, and their workmanship so neat and tidy. Nothing was too much to ask and just to mention keeping to the estimated timelines and completing the project precisely on time! I would highly recommend Mint to anyone who is thinking of a renovation project, they would not be disappointed!

Doing a major renovation is a huge emotional and financial undertaking, one if not done correctly, could have repercussions for a very long time. We made a list of suitable criteria for an interior designer and home renovator. It was essential to find someone we could trust. From the first time we met you, we felt at ease in being guided by your vision for the design and to manage the overall project.Renovating either side of Covid lockdown wasn’t easy, but your lighthearted conversation and organised manner made the process much easier.We still marvel at the finer detail and functionality of our wonderful home. Thank you for exceeding our expectations!”
