**★★★★★ — K Gleason, Oct. 2019**

> Amazing end product, Enjoyable process.  Cira is one of a kind!  After 7 years of spinning my wheels over everything from light fixtures to rugs to paint colors to furniture and art placement, and making mistake after mistake, we found Cira through a friend's recommendation.  Cira turned out to be the game changer we had been waiting for!  Our home now feels like "us" and has the pulled-together feel were we craving but just couldn't achieve on our own.  Cira worked with much of what we had but pulled it all together and amped up the style with key new items such as new paint color ideas, light fixtures & lamps, area rugs, accent tables, and re-upholstery fabric for a custom sectional sofa we wanted to keep.  The services we chose included style boards, as well as the design in a day which was the best day ever.  Cira delivered a re-designed & re-styled space that felt "right on" and also wildly exceeded our expectations.  On top of our delight with the end product, we must note that working with Cira was awesome - her talent and creativity blew us away, but she is also a kind, pleasant, upbeat, energetic person who we found to be very inspiring.  Our project included: foyer, living, dining, office, kitchen, kitchen conversation area & family room.

**Comment from Cira James:**

> This is sooooo kind and generous, Kay!!! You guys were a delight to work with. I’m so glad we found each other, and that you truly feel “at home,” now. I adored everything about this project. Thank you for all your trust!!!

**★★★★★ — Jean Genzano, March 2019**

> Cira is in a league of her own. She has unmatched creativity, drive, vision and taste. We enlisted Cira's Design in a Day services to help us settle into our new apartment in Manhattan after living in a large home in the suburbs for years prior. Her dedication to turning our new, unfamiliar space into a home for my family gave us such a head start on helping ourselves and our children transition to NYC. Her attention to detail, bringing to life the things we never knew how to showcase and flat out taking a HUGE chunk of the pain of moving off our plates was worth its weight in gold. Pictures of our apartment have been reposted across several social media platforms, online communities and even our very own neighborhood instagram. We're incredibly happy and proud of our home and would (and do!) recommend Cira to everyone we meet.

**Comment from Cira James:**

> ...wowza: I'm flattered. And honored. And sooOOOoOOOOOOoOoo grateful for this project and the ones that subsequently followed because of it. xx 5000

**★★★★★ — HU-383334924, March 2019**

> Cira has an incredible talent of transforming spaces into magical places of delight. She really listens to the customers requests and needs to bring inspiration to their everyday lives. Cira is truly gifted and can work within any budget, using things that you took for granted and shoved in the basement. You will look at your home, office, workplace in a whole new way once she is through. Do yourself a favor and give her a call, you will be so grateful you did!

**Comment from Cira James:**

> ...not sure which client of mine this is, but THANK YOU!!!!! So sweet and generous to say.

**★★★★★ — Debbie Hepler, Feb. 2019**

> My team and I love working with Cira! She has helped many of my clients transform their houses into beautiful homes. She is creative and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her for any design project you might have!

**★★★★★ — Jean Gross, Jan. 2019**

> My Real Estate Team has worked with Cira for over 5years. There are not words to describe her TALENT in "Staging" my listings. My Sales statistics have been Excellent in great part due to her 'Magic' in Staging my listings to go on the Market. AND many of my clients ask her to help 'set up' their homes after purchase as well...   Cira expresses the modern vibe that seems to embody your Life Style in home décor!!

**★★★★★ — Amy Barnes, Nov. 2017**

> Cira has helped me with three of my properties and I would never hire anyone but her. She has such a keen eye for unique placement and she is a true visionary. I would go away for the day and come back and it was like Christmas! She arranges my spaces in ways I would never be able to imagine...she isn’t bossy and is completely open to your input, budget and time frame. She never makes you feel lost in your vision...she is patient and kind and really listens to what is important to you. She can find really cool hard to find pieces too if your on a mission.   Cira is simply the BEST!!

**★★★★★ — Kim Wardell, Oct. 2017**

> Working with Cira James has been such a fun and wonderful experience! She has knowledge on a wide variety of styles and a natural eye for Interior Design. She works with your design style and incorporates new, innovative ways to make a space practical and beautiful! She has helped me with the design and set up of two retail locations and will be working on my personal home renovations from concept to design to implementation. She is super hands on and is a dream to work with - I am looking forward to working with her for years to come!

**★★★★★ — Leigh Green, Oct. 2017**

> I love working with Cira. She has an incredible eye for how to make spaces functional, beautiful and comfortable. She's helped me with kitchen design, exterior colors and roofing, office layout, paint colors and so much more. One of her best skills is creating spaces that feel really fresh and smart, spaces people can be proud to show off, but that also function and work in real life. For any sort of design need or space reinvention, I highly recommend Cira James Design.

**★★★★★ — Meredith Hankins, Oct. 2017**

> Cira is an amazing professional with the absolute best style.  It seems to come to her effortlessly.  She redesigned my kitchen and truly made my vision come to life.  Her work is thorough, creative, beautiful and unique.  I honestly can't recommend her enough, she is fabulous!

**★★★★★ — Amy Musumeci, Oct. 2017**

> Cira was able to clearly combine my style with my husband’s to make our home mirror the both of us. She used pieces we had and was able to easily and effectively work within our budget. I would highly recommend her.

**★★★★★ — sfalderman, Oct. 2017**

> I have never struggled with which elements I'd pick to put into my home but have struggled with arranging these elements once I get them through the door. I've hired Cira to help me with two different homes. She has worked with my existing items and furniture, putting them in a better arrangement than I could have conceptualized, and she has also made new purchases for me, always mindful of my budget parameters.
>
> I can't wait to hire Cira in the future when I have the ability to give her full control over my entire home's design. I trust her so much and admire her taste to such a degree, that I would hire her again and again!
