Cynthia's Philosophy

"I am a vehicle for my client's self-expression. It is my belief that a home is a place where safety and sensuality meet function to provide a feeling of well-being and tranquility. My relationship with my clients is built on honesty and trust, which makes for a wonderful co-creative experience. My clients work with me on a design fee basis, only. I do not charge a mark up on purchases and pass on my trade discounts. This allows my client's to know where they stand at all times and pay most suppliers directly and even use credit cards for those great air miles ! I have an ongoing relationship spanning generations with my clients and enjoy working with their children as  they go into their own homes."
