It went great since Cathy had the overall decorating picture in mind -- combining paint colors, rugs, furniture, artwork & accessories. She makes our house our HOME! Love it. Very easy & fun to work with too.
Description of Work: Remodeling of all living areas such as a combined living room/family room & dining room & kitchen & master bath.

I had attended one of Ms. Chitwood's paint color seminars and liked the colors she presented. I liked her also; found her to be brisk, forthright and occasionally funny. She is all those things, but what she is not, is tactful. She came into our home and immediately began criticizing our taste is accessories. My husband was sitting in the living room looking more and more annoyed as she disapproved of all his favorite things. Everything we have means something to one of us. Rather as an after thought she left us with two color samples and we didn't think either was any improvement over what we already had. We went straight to a paint store and selected something entirely different.
Description of Work: We asked her to help select a paint color for the walls of our den.

They came out for an hour and the lady gave me some suggestions. I spent about $500 on the job. She came in and did an evaluation. She was very friendly and very high-energy. She was really ready to go, which I really liked. Overall, I liked her. I think she had ideas. She didn?t ask me what my ideas were; I would have really liked that better. I will use this company again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Drake Interiors, five months ago.

I love working with Cathy. She is high-energied, patient, creative, punctual, and gets the job done. She is also good at taking what I already have that is personal or sentimental to me, and incorporating those things into a fresher looking room.
Description of Work: Cathy helped me rearrange rooms, and select accessories - lamps, paintings, natural florals. She has a great sense of color and helped me coordinate wall color, tile, carpet, and furniture when we built our home.

Cathy and her crew are so fun to work with and have such great ideas! I have bought items from her store for years but had never had her out to my home. She arrived to take pictures and see what I had, then went to her store to select items to bring back. Worked on rearranging/accessorizing my family room, living room, kitchen, office, guest bed/bath, master bed/bath, separate 'womens' office/half bath. She's flexible and very easy to work with. This work took place over several visits.
Description of Work: Accessorizing - provided from store and came to home for placement. Rearranged bookshelves in two rooms. Also recommended paint colors. Cathy is great at taking what you already have, adding to it (or subtracting!) and pulling it all together.

We have worked with Cathy Chitwood, the owner of Drake Interiors for several years. She is a phenomenal designer who never ceases to amaze! Her eye for color is always right-on and she's able to incorporate our existing pieces with beautiful new items from her store. The end result is always fabulous! We highly recommend Cathy Chitwood and Drake Interiors!

I called Cathy Chitwood to help us assess an upcoming move. We have used her services in the past and been very pleased. We are moving to a smaller home and needed some advice. Cathy helped us decide which pieces of furniture to move to the new house and where everything would go. She recommended painting some pieces to reuse in other areas. She is very creative and works with what we have instead of trying to redo it all. She chose paint colors for every room and selected carpeting as well. She recommended a painter and window covering person - both are inexpensive and do quality work. Cathy is knowledgable, responsive, honest, and very quick. She can accomplish more in one hour than anyone I know. The upcoming move is less overwhelming now that we have a color scheme and a plan. We know where everything will go in the new house and can't wait to have Cathy see the finished product.
Description of Work: Assessed decorating needs and furniture placement for new home. Selected paint colors and flooring.
