We met Cathie in a panic - having already gutted our bathroom and then realizing that we were overwhelmed to make any decisions. She proved herself invaluable; took charge of the situation and was able to work and communicate effectively with the contractor that we had already hired. After finishing the bathroom, we decorated the kitchen, family room and dining room.

Catherine was instrumental in getting us organized and putting together all the right elements to redesign the bathroom, finding the perfect marble slabs, and all the right bathroom elements including fixtures.

We then moved onto doing the family room. Catherine put together all the perfect elements including custom built-ins, new couches, and floor coverings. All of which needed to be family friendly - and safe for small children to climb on. Our family room is the perfect blend of beauty and function - we couldn't be more pleased.

I think we have been most excited about the dining room project. We had a custom dining room table built, which blended beautifully with the antiques that she had found from her contacts around the country. Even with this, the room has remained functional. We have had great feedback from family and friends whom we've entertained.

We have more projects planned with Catherine Interiors in the near future. We can't wait to see what new ideas Cathie and her team will bring to the table.
