Description Of Work:
Catherine Snyder Skaletsky of Catherine Interiors was recommended to us by close friends who had worked with her on an extensive project in their home. We relied on Catherines vision for a facelift/update of our interior. She gutted the kitchen, transforming it from a dated 1980s kitchen to a spectacular 21st century kitchen, mixing classic style with new technology. She also redecorated our LR, DR, powder room, and master suite. The work included Catherines’ overall assessment of what our visions were, coupled with her vision and expertise. All the selection of colorways, fabric, tile and materials, with samples for each room to give us an overall feel for the ultimate outcome of the project.

Member Comments:
She was invaluable and right on the mark with assessing our lifestyle and tastes, and bringing her expertise, as well as those on her design team, into our project. We developed a comfortable rapport with Catherine and found that nearly all her suggestions were the right suggestions. She has a very strong color sense, as well as an eye for detail and space planning. She was an ally and not a dictator, in doing this project for us. The crafts people she employed on the project for us were all top of the line and the timeline that we were assured was very close to the original projected date of completion. She uses the best carpenters, painters, decorative painters, tile and stone workers, drapery and upholstery people. They collaborated brilliantly to give us results beyond our expectations. We love our new space! While Catherines’ pricing was somewhat higher than we planned to spend, we wouldn’t do it any other way. Her warmth and professionalism are rare, we loved her!
