TESTIMONIALS
“Christina is a designer with both vision and creative talent. On her first walk-through of our mid-century modern, Eichler home, she envisioned the spaces in both, exacting detail and as a whole, working together in color, pattern, and aesthetic… Most importantly, beyond her formidable design abilities, she is a wonderful, kind and caring person. Her exceptional design talent is combined with a gracious personality.” – L.Z. Orange, CA
“Christina is a wonderful designer with several talents… She assisted us with the design and selection of tile, mosaics, stone and countertops for our two bathrooms and a kitchen and with the installation. We both were so happy with her work we asked Christina to help us with our furniture. She assisted in selecting new textiles for the refurbishing and upholstery of our very special collection of inherited furnishings (19 pieces) along with some space planning, artwork and accessories selections, placement and installation… The project was a success and she has now become a dear friend of ours.” – A.S. Newport Beach, CA
“My husband and I were building a new home and in the midst of shopping for flooring, countertops, tiles and mosaics for a kitchen and five bathrooms… we started working with Christina on the tile selections and concepts for our home. Since we enjoyed working with Christina… we hired her as our designer to select the interior finishes, furnishings, artwork and accessories. After redesigning this home for five years, we found another home… this would be our final home. A major remodel was in store for us with several room additions which required a structural contractor and designer. Of course, we contacted Christina.” – R. C. Fullerton, CA
