Cumby's Interiors :: chic. classic. comfortable.

Cumby's Interiors had the joy of working with Samantha on many rooms in her house. Here's what she has to say about her experience with Cumby:

"Cumby did an exceptional job creating the living room we have always wanted. Her eye for color and design helped us pull the room together. She listened to all our needs and desires and integrated them into a finished
product - something we had not been able to achieve on our own. Most recently we decided to update and redesign our Master Bedroom to fit our needs. Again, Cumby helped us to pull it all together with some special
needs for storage that were beautifully designed so that we were certainly happy with the results, yet others are not aware of the 'hidden design features' that we used. We continue to work on our design priorities with Cumby's help and expertise!"

I am so very excited and I had to share! I have just learned that I will be a featured designer this week at AvaLiving, a designer network website that helps people to find a designer. I entered the competition for Design Success University at AvaLiving and will be featured for this week.

The professional with whom I chose (and have been fortunate enough) to work is Cumby Hammock-Cobb of Columbia’s Custom Interiors. My collaboration with Cumby on this project has been a wonderful experience, for not only is she a joy to work with, she’s also a joyous person and brings that aspect of her personality into everything she does!

During the initial meeting here at the house, we spent time looking at and talking about the space, and what I wanted from it, both aesthetically and functionally.

Armed with that information, Cumby set out to work her magic in the form of a detailed plan which ably and beautifully incorporated the form and function part of the equation (my need for comfort and storage), with my wishes for a space that was also beautiful, calm, warm and inviting.

Though I’m told other designers prefer for their clients to be ‘hands-off’ during projects, I was thrilled to find and really appreciated the fact that Cumby very much welcomed and included me in the process. She not only delivered on all of my wishes for this space, but created a place which is so much more than I could ever have hoped for, one which is very much, “me.”

Real Estate Friends & Colleagues,

I am so excited about this opportunity to recommend the services of my interior designer and stager, Cumby Hammock-Cobb of Columbia's Custom Interiors. Cumby and I have worked together on many projects, including listings. Her consultation helps home SELLERS present their homes to the market in such a way that the home "stands out" in the crowd.

In 2003, Cumby chose exterior paint colors for my personal home to market it properly. With her help, the exterior turned out beautifully with lots of curb appeal and it sold for full price within 45 days on the market.

Again, when I renovated my current home, I did not proceed with any decision until we had our consultation. You see, she really makes your house your home by listening to your ideas and implementing them correctly with your investment in mind.

With that positive note, I began to use Cumby's services on my listings and to give my home BUYERS an added edge with a stager's consultation to bring the home to the market. The staging of my listings helps the homes to sell quicker, giving the seller the confidence that they need, and bringing buyers to immediately feel comfortable in visualizing themselves in this new home.

Of course, in our business, we love statistics and the stats prove that my staged homes sell quicker, help the seller move forward and reduce the time that the buying agent and the buyers tour the home.

Her work is timeless and classic, whether you need her services for "Staging to Sell or Staging to Dwell".... get your home sold quicker or enjoy living in your home for more years with an updated interior!

Oh, and did I mention that in March of 2008, in a challenging market, I marketed Cumby's personal home of 13 years in Saddle Creek? We received three offers in 35 days and were able to negotiate the sale that worked for all involved.
