Something Different

I had such a fantastic experience with Bessie and her team! I've been admiring their work for over a year before deciding to ask them to help renovate my first home. Bessie and her team have clearly streamlined their entire interior design process, and that was evident every time I spoke or met with them. What could've felt intimidating or overwhelming turned into easy, natural conversations around what I wanted my home to feel like. We started small with a couple of rooms and only renovating a few things but after project completion, I'm already looking forward to working with Bessie and her team again. We were given unparalleled guidance, communication and customer service. They have created such a beautiful and cohesive space for us that far exceeds anything I could've imagined. We are so grateful and can't wait to work with her and her team again!

We hired Bessie and her team to help us renovate the main living area and kitchen in our home. We needed to make it more accessible/safer for our son who has a disability. I cannot say enough, how amazing our new space is and how incredible it feels to know the space is safer for our son and looks beautiful! It feels like a new home and with the help of Kardinia's team, we were able to get the function we needed while also creating a beautiful, cozy space for our family. The Kardinia team was always available for any of our questions and provided timely updates throughout the process.

I love this fabulous shop! Lydie carries the most exquisite items for the home, whether for every day, or special times for entertaining & holidays - Easter & Christmas, for example. Her tablecloths are beautiful - very festive but wipable. I have found the most unique items that my friends love - “Where did you get that?” “Something Different, but I bought the last one. Perhaps Lydie can special order for you!” I try to go to Something Different each time I’m in Cocoa Village - it’s a treat, even for 5 minutes to see what’s new. A treasure for Cocoa Village!

Unique, quality items you won’t find anywhere else, with prices ranging from affordable to as much as you want to spend. The owner, Lydie, has a talent for decorating & floral arranging you see in high-end magazines. I know she graduated top of her class years ago after 7 years of studying interior design in Paris, France, later opening a second shoppe in that city after her first one was a success. There is much more to her story just know we are very fortunate to have this wonderful, talented, sweet & savvy business woman in Cocoa Village. Leah N.

We had an amazing experience working with Bessie and her team! This was a new build and I had many ideas and she was able to put everything together in the most elegant effortless way. Their attention to detail and beauty is priceless. I love her style and how the team was great at responding to our questions/emails right away. They were able to work with our timeline which was very small. I can’t wait to move into our new home and thanks to Bessie and her team it’s timeless, elegant and beautiful
