As most young homeowners, we bought our first house 34 years ago with all the funds we had and used elbow grease to clean and fix and improve areas inside and outside as we had time and money. Neither my wife or I are very gifted with colors or special arrangements and for sure, not with design. We both work hard and don’t spend much time focusing on these matters. Thirty-four years later, we are still in the same house. One day is a rare creative moment in 2021 working from home, my wife and I thought we needed to update many things in our home, and we realized we could not do it alone. We did not have the skill or expertise. Our dear, lifelong friend, Carmen popped into our minds. Carmen and John have been friends for more than 47 years. We have seen Carmen’s beautiful gifts in designs and styles for many years in many different homes. Carmen was kind enough and gracious enough to join us on this journey of change with great wisdom and patience. Carmen met with us to understand our desires and helped us prioritize projects based on timing and budget. Carmen is a great listener. She understood our desires and she understood our budget and how to design in this budget. Almost always, Carmen would give us a recommendation with a low cost and a moderate cost option, and she was a genius at teaching us where and when it was important to spend more for a greater effect and where we could save on purchases. We have had so many people in our transformed home that just could not believe the transformations, especially in our dining area. They asked if we remodeled, added or removed kitchen cabinets and the like and all we did was paint (new colors), add a different dining room table, rug, shutters, and light fixtures. It was amazing to do what Carmen said as she led us to this beautiful and transforming result. We are so thankful and grateful. Carmen is such a professional. She never allowed us to choose something that would be a mistake, based on our limited gifts in this area. The magic here is that she led us to the best result with such patience and grace. Carmen is so honest and open, and she kept us in current design each and every time while we were choosing our changes. We recommend Carmen with the highest regard. You will love Carmen and her results. Tom & Lisa

I have worked with Anne on various projects over the years and have been 100% completely satisfied. Her first project for our family was to completely re-do our family room - top to bottom - including floors, wall coverings, furniture and window treatments. Anne came in, with her unique vision and worked with our style and budget and turned our family room into a beautiful living space that my family loved and enjoyed for many years. It was a key room in helping to sell that home about 5 years ago. Upon purchasing our next home, Anne was again my go to designer. This time she helped us turn our dingy bathroom/dressing area into a really amazing master bath that is not only efficient and organized but luxurious as well. For this project, we came in BELOW budget and ahead of the predicted time expected ~ how great was that? The third project I enlisted Anne's services for, was for my mother's home. Anne came in and helped me update my mother's master bedroom and sitting area into such a beautiful space. Anne spent a lot of time really listening to my mother's needs and tastes and created such a beautiful oasis for her . My mother loves her new rooms and still often tells me how happy it makes her. Needless to say, I've referred Anne to many close friends and will continue to do so and the friends that have used her have been thrilled with her as well. In my experience with Anne, she has always been professional, punctual, available, knowledgeable and generous. She was worth every penny and I look forward to working with her again.

As a professional writer who works from home, my work area is very important to me, but due to lack of space, my "office" has always had to perform double duty--second bedroom, etc... I contacted Carmen at Soho Interiors to help me solve the problem. Her solution was ingenious! I had a formal dining room in the front of the house that I did not use. She suggested turning that space into a beautiful open concept office area. From the desk to the chair to the colorful rug and other accessories, she handled it all, making sure that the look of my office is "mine" but that it also flowed with the rest of the home. Now, instead of working from a small room staring at a wall, I have a gorgeous view of my backyard swimming pool and a space that I can finally call mine and mine alone. Everyone who comes to the house is amazed at how lovely it looks and how well it functions. Thank you, Carmen!

Over the last several years, Carmen has worked with me room-by-room to decorate my house. I am so grateful for her talent. Most recently she helped me turn our patio into a beautiful sunroom for my family. We simply couldn’t have done it without her. She picked out every detail, managed my contractors and made certain that I was completely satisfied with the finished product. It is stunning. My new room is my second favorite room that Carmen has done for me - second only to my son‘s nursery, which is the most perfect place you’ve ever seen. Carmen always presents me with tons of options and guidance and understanding of my budget. She can always figure out a way to make something look good while being practical and childproof. I would strongly recommend her for any of your projects.

Although they excel in a certain style of design for interior and commercial properties and represent some top of the line manufacturers i.e. Tom Dixon, Knoll etc, their boutique rocks in the gift department. I always try to stop by there first before heading to Tiffany's or Bloomies because what they have is unique. You will not feel awkward if you can't afford the USM $10k console to look at their light fixtures and specialty gift items. The customer service is stellar. I worked with Michael the last time i was there and gave him my price point and he later emailed me several options for client gifts. I just as excited for them to receive the gift, as I am to have sent. Thank you to this cooler than cool store located in Winter Park's design district.
