Highly recommend her if she goes back to doing interior design, I know right now she's focusing on house staging.

We hired Cynthia Bennett and Associates to remodel our 1920s historic home in Altadena focusing on…read morethe kitchen and bathrooms. As we proceeded with the remodel, we encountered many challenges ranging from wildfires, difficult issues with Edison Electric, and many neglected problems with the home during previous homeowners. It ended up being a very difficult and challenging project. Carolien (who has taken over the business from her mother, Cynthia) rose to each challenge and found a way to make things right. Once we moved in a few unexpected issues arose and Carolien was there to make it right. A large project like ours always has its challenges (we have gone through another major remodel 30 years ago in Phoenix), especially in an older home that is in need of care. It really matters to have someone with a great reputation who cares about the project and has great sub-contractors working for them. I would recommend Cynthia Bennet and Associates for a remodel project.

Throughout the process, I found Carolien and Tim to be extremely responsive, detail oriented and tasteful in their recommendations. Their subs were uniformly *excellent* and the work was scheduled efficiently. Drafting and plans were clean and detailed, fixture selection was very assured and I found their focus on executional excellence remarkable. The project was completed on budget and dramatically increased not just the value of our home, but the pleasure we take in it. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Unfortunately, I'm a poor 20-something, $100k in the hole, post-grad. My love of interior decor porn led me to the Pasadena Showcase Society's annual showcase house in La Canada Flintridge. I loved the vintage touch given to the English manor, but only one room stood out to me. Designed by Tamra Kaye-Honey, it was this amazing, whimsical and quirky room. Perfect little unexpected details all around. A bit of vintage, a bit of vintage-inspired, a bit modern, and a bit of contemporary fashion. I fell in love with this porcelain bust piece, and I followed it to House of Honey, Kaye-Honey's bricks and mortar locale. Just amazing. Exactly what I expected from the decorator of my dreams. I would say a treasure trove of the best finds from the 20's-70's and beautiful pieces from some contemporary designers. Even if you're like me, just lusting after what you would buy when you win the lottery, you have to come see how beautiful and fun this store is set up. Oh, the shop girl was also super friendly. She wasn't pretentious at all when I came in to ask questions.

She is an extremely talented designer who can look at your home and architect's plans and immediately figure out where problems may pop up and how to make things more aesthetically pleasing. She has saved me time and money, by refining our architect's plans before even starting our projects- making the flow of the spaces better and more logical. Christine knows the best vendors and has taken me shopping to help me see my choices. She then refines your furniture choices when she figures out what you like. As a busy surgeon, I don't have a lot of time to be shopping and Christine was amazing at narrowing down the overwhelming number of choices of design options to something perfect for me! She would even bring rugs, furniture and items to the house to try them out to see how they looked and if they didn't work- take them right back. Her artistic vision for my house gave it a very unified theme and a beautiful look. Everyone always asks who did our house - it's a gorgeous, warm, family-friendly Italian look, that is classic and refined, but not stuffy. Call Christine and you will be impressed. Her energetic, happy personality is super motivating when you have a big project ahead and you don't know where to start. I highly recommend Santana Interiors!
