Columbia's Custom Interiors

Testimonial

"I have truly enjoyed working with Cumby for more than 15 years now.  She knows me so well that she almost reads my mind with what I want in my home and she always pays strict attention to details, which I just love.  To be honest, we started with the idea that we would have a timeless, classical feel with a customized twist for my personal tastes and we have never deviated from that plan.  Her window treatment designs, exclusive fabrics and textures, grand furnishings and absolutely fabulous accessories have given my home a custom look that is truly reflective of my personality and enriches my lifestyle. Because Cumby has also designed my home to be so comfortable and functional, it is truly a pleasure coming home to relax with my family. I know that I will continue to enjoy working with Cumby as my design professional and being a friend for many years to come." – Shannon

Testimonial

 "Cumby did an exceptional job creating the living room we have always wanted. Her eye for color and design helped us pull the room together. She listened to all our needs and desires and integrated them into a finished product - something we had not been able to achieve on our own. Most recently we decided to update and redesign our Master Bedroom to fit our needs.  Again, Cumby helped us to pull it all together with some special needs for storage that were beautifully designed so that we were certainly happy with the results, yet others are not aware of the 'hidden design features' that we used.  We continue to work on our design priorities with Cumby's help and expertise!"

A Love for the Sea

Linda's Living Area oozes with comfort with her scrumptious fabrics, wonderful seating areas, a feeling of relaxation, and filled with the ambience of the sea. The traditional colors of the urchins of the ocean are underlying tones to the earthy reds, chocolates, tortoise shell and gold tones throughout. Every turn of the room grabs your attention with unique collectibles, artwork and accessories to reflect her love for the sea coast and her love for color!

Baubles and bangles from the sea are used throughout Linda's home to reflect her collectible spirit with her attraction to the sea coast and its mysteries. Whether it's a turtle that is a wonderful box or fabulous sea shells of every description and size or sculpture of corals, it is candy for your eyes. Custom built bookcases enhanced with faux finish and lighting adds details to the room, a place to display her collectibles, and even a glass "prop" for social gatherings. Every detail was considered in the design of the cabinetry and "recycled" faux finished furniture that took on a different character with customized accents.

Welcome with Botanicals

Romantic color tones, sheer and elegant silks, and classic furnishings set the mood for this wonderful Master Bedroom. It's an oasis of comfort enhanced with custom designed pillows and bed coverings that add the ambience to the room. The sheer botanical fabric on the windows, with an elegant decorative rod, add the final touch to the romantic bedroom and allow the beautiful view of the gardens in back of their home.

Linda and Larry's love for botanicals is a common thread in the character of their lovely home. In order to display the many collectible antique botanicals they have accumulated, we chose several of our favorites to have custom framed to create a gallery effect in the foyer. It is their personal version of Welcome to our Home! To accentuate the botanicals even more, unique accessories and a colorful rug add a chic look to a classic design, and add warmth to a large foyer area with an inviting appeal.

Ethnic treasures collected and displayed effectively through out this sitting are are reflected in this custom framed mirror. Highlighting the rich jewel tones in the fabrics, repitition of color and detail can also be found in the many wonderful accessories and artwork.

Here's what Linda had to say about her experience with Cumby:

"Having remodeled our home, completely changing paint colors, carpeting, and furniture in many of our rooms, I was in need of new window treatments, artwork and accessories to complete the decorating. I truly was overwhelmed with all of the decisions and the time involved in finding fabrics and coordinating these elements into our new look. I had never really considered using an interior designer as I wanted the look to be "ours" not someone else's. However, a friend recommended Columbia's Custom Interiors and after further inspection, I was quite impressed with the style and the quality of the workmanship on her window treatments. I made the call and from our initial consultation, I felt comfortable with Cumby. I had some specific ideas about what I wanted but I relied on her expertise to transform my ideas into a finished product that would enhance the remodeling we had done. She listened to my thoughts and presented me with options in both style and fabric. I relied on her knowledge and experience to guide me to make the correct decision as the window treatments truly are one of the most visible and important elements in decorating. I am very pleased with Cumby's work thus far and Ilook forward to working with her in our next steps in completing our renovation." - Linda

Shannon's Vibrant Home

Tradition and color…..two very important aspects in the design of this interior! Unique accessories and classic fabrics full of color are repeated throughout the formal Dining Room and Living Room. The attention to detail from the fringes, trims, custom designed pillows, exquisite window treatments, floral arrangements, classic custom furniture of tapestries and textures, unusual and elaborate accessories, dynamic wool area rugs and more all speak to an elegant but comfortable environment that Shannon was looking for with our design plan.
