We had a hard time finding someone to help us oversee and design a bathroom renovation in our home at Laurel Valley subdivision In Townsend Tennessee. Residing five hours away much of the year, we did not have connections with any local contractors or vendors.
Finally! Cilla was recommended to us and at the first meeting I think we all knew we would be a good fit for each other. Honest, direct, connected, efficient, great communication, and a keen eye for design are all the things you want in someone coordinating a renovation project. Cilla fit the bill to a T. I never felt like she was pushing one design over another, dragging her feet, or ignoring my input. In fact, she would get very excited when I had an off-the-wall idea or two. We are so pleased with our bathroom renovation and our relationship with Cilla. It gets me thinking there might be another room we need to redo some time…

Awesome! I would add that being able to stay proactive on invoices, payments, and the accounting of a multi-vendor project is rare in my personal experience. In addition to competent and foresighted management of our project, Cilla was able to communicate and juggle the financial side of it very well. We greatly appreciated that.

I came across Cilla’s website when I was struggling to nest after moving to Knoxville. I spent countless hours buying and returning items I simply could not make work for my space. I felt helpless and could not make my own apartment feel like home. Cilla came to my rescue and brought my Pinterest board to life. I will be forever grateful for her patience, skill and friendship.

After almost a week of working with Finishing Touches my house looked, once more, like the beautiful HOME that it is. Cilla used furniture and decor that was special and meaningful to me and added a few nice pieces that compliment each area and my current decor. She was able to work within my budget to create beautiful/relaxing spaces in my home.

Cilla proved that transformations can be budget friendly and accomplished quickly.

I am finally getting to sit down and relax this evening. Brad and I sat in the living room for a while to take in what you did in there then moved into the sun room to check it out. I TRULY love all that you did today. It makes our house feel like home. Thank you for your talent and especially for your patience with me! These finishing touches are what makes all of the other stuff look great. I’ve always thought that it’s not what you see in a home but how you feel in a home. Tonight, I feel peaceful.

Finishing Touches helped reinvigorate our 35 year old Gatlinburg cabin. Cilla can do everything from interior design to project management of major renovations and even has a great network of contractors and local contacts that can help out-of-state vacation property owners during renovation and staging. She was a pleasure to work with from the first phone call and guided us through the process from start to finish. I highly recommend Finishing Touches for any interior design/renovation project!

The best parts about Finishing Touches are Cilla’s great ideas and her willingness to jump right in there and help with the hard jobs with enthusiasm and energy.

Finishing Touches has that knack of turning a house into home. Thanks for all the help we love it!

I hired Cilla to help me with my first vacation rental investment. As an Airbnb host she understands the needs of the guests and as designer her creativity was invaluable. She helped me create the luxurious/modern spaces that I wanted my guests to experience and saved me money by using most of the furniture that was sold with the cabin. Her expertise and advice was invaluable and her attention to detail was amazing! Updating a cabin on the other side of the United States could have been stressful, but Cilla helped me feel comfortable and confident in the entire process.

I was anxious about having a stranger working in our home, she wasn’t a stranger after five minutes.
