Inside Design

After the initial visit to view the project, Cynthia returned in good time with a guesstimated budget and some sample pictures of furniture, cloth samples and paint color samples. All were accepted. We then went shopping for the crown molding and some furniture at various stores and on various days at mutual convenience. She also gave me a number of online stores and furniture samples from which to buy which was done satisfactorily including a number of furniture pieces and light fixtures. She referred a painter and crown molding installer whose work was satisfactory but not done in a coordinated and smooth-running manner. Cynthia also referred a furniture assembler and a carpet installer whose work was satisfactory, but somewhat expensive. Although basically the job is finished, she is still attending to little things that need attention.

I'm a pretty savvy consumer which was part of my issue. I find it hard to make decisions because there are too many choices out there. Cynthia started out with a consultation where we went over what I wanted to do, what style I was going for and, most importantly, my budget. At the conclusion of the consultation we selected a color palette, she drew up floor plans, and gave me a contract. She was flexible in her contract options and very fair with her price. We divided the project into 2 phases so it was easier to handle. We selected paint colors and painters, new furniture, rugs and lighting for the bedroom and nursery, repositioned existing furniture, changed fixtures/counters in kitchen and bathroom and got rid of clutter. What I like most about Cynthia is that she's very patient and never says no. She takes all my thoughts and suggestions into consideration and gives me options to make informed decisions. I'm now starting phase 2.
