"My consult with Christina Cole was immensely valuable. I had toyed with so many iterations of the kitchen/living room layout for my new home over the past year. Based on guidance she provided I had my plans re-drawn and I am finally elated with the design. She also provided specific shopping links. I have direction now that I can put into action to bring my vision to life. She helped me elevate the project. I will likely have additional consults as we get further into our project. "
