Interior Design Portfolio

"We wanted to update our bathroom and also find a way to extend our walk-in closet without expanding the footprint. Cathy came out with an amazing design that completely rearranged our bathroom and closet space. She was able to give us a much roomier shower and a walk-in closet triple the size—all within the same space. The way she utilized the layout was incredibly effective and thoughtful. We are absolutely in love with the new design and are so grateful to Cathy and her team for the hard work, creativity, and care they put into this project. Highly recommend!"

"I want to give you my most heartfelt thanks for the outstanding design work and renovation you did on my home. Every detail reflects your incredible design talent and amazing eye for color. I was devastated and overwhelmed when I had severe water damage to my home just 5 weeks after a total knee replacement. My first thought was to call you. Even though you were at the airport in Florida, you answered my call, and I knew all would be ok. You took care of everything. You met with the restoration company, leak detection company, and even the masonry company for the outside brick damage. I knew you had fabulous design skills from previously working with you, but your extensive knowledge of construction and your ability to meet with different tradespeople were invaluable. I never would have made it without you. All along the way, you were caring, supportive, and made sure I liked the changes. I absolutely love how everything came together. The change is truly stunning. I will always be grateful for your guidance, expertise, and friendship."

"Cathy & Brian are so talented and professional. I have used them in several design categories and their resources are unmatched. They also have excellent taste and they don't try to persuade you to "like" their taste and ideas, but rather work within your ideas and budget."

"Cathy helped transform my office from a mess to a functioning asset that helps me work. I thought it would just simply be ordering some furniture and having it setup, but it was far more than that. They went the extra mile and helped with organizing the space to make it function better. I would highly recommend them for any project."

"Cathy has done work for me for over 7 years and has always impressed me! She is insanely talented, professional and ensures a project is done with high quality. Cathy has an ability to visualize a major transformation to your living space and always exceeds my expectations!!"

"Cathy was easy to work with and listened to what we were looking for. She provided great suggestions and has a great design skill set. Cathy stayed on top of all our projects and maintained great communication throughout. Cathy was a pleasure to work with and always had a great attitude."

"Cathy did a remodel for our home. She was not only professional and friendly, she was an amazing person to work with. Her prices are so fair for all the work she put into our project. I would highly refer her. You will not be disappointed."

"Cathy has the sixth sense to gauge your taste and style and takes it to perfection in designing and choice of colors and materials. She is very professional and works well with people. The house I bought was 30 years old, and now it can be featured on the pages of sunset magazine!"

"I so enjoyed working with Cathy Tonks, Designs With You In Mind, on a major remodel where we doubled the number of bedrooms and baths and redesigned the entire kitchen and family area. I especially liked her attention-to-detail and the ability to assist my contractor in solving problems. Her ideas were inspirational and her vendor contacts made decision making a joy. I highly recommend her for projects large or small."

"We have worked with Designs With You In Mind on a number of projects. Cathy is extremely talented and very professional. It's evident she has a passion for what she does. Communication and attention-to-detail are excellent!!"
