They had a tremendous amount of selections for us to choose from and we found everything we needed for our new home. We started by sending in pictures of things we loved and then they picked out several options for us to consider. They were generous with their time as we spent hours in Cindy's studio pouring over items, pictures, swatches, etc. I have already recommended StudioTrimble to others and will continue to do so. **Comment from StudioTrimble:** > Thank you Howard for your review. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and Susie on your very cool modern home in the mountains! **★★★★★ — Greg Sumner, Dec. 2020** > I highly recommend Cindy and her team at Studio Trimble. We did a complete remodel of a house on the Toccoa Rive in Blue Rdige, GA. Cindy and her team played an integral part of every aspect of the design, from beginning to end. The final product was exceptional! We provided them with a vision and they provided us with an end product beyond our expectation! **Comment from StudioTrimble:** > Greg, thank you very much. You and your family were such a joy to work with!!! We loved the way your home renovation turned out - the team work with you, Tim Wheat and his team was so enjoyable and successful!!! Thank you for the opportunity!! **★★★★★ — krfnc40, Dec. 2020** > Cindy was amazing I was ill and had to be out of town for treatment Cindy took my charmer mountain cottage and truly made it into a home. > I gave Cindy free rein on fixtures lighting paint > Etc. She was especially sensitive to sticking > To a tight budget . > Cindy started the project by designing a floor > Plan and furniture plan .Her architectural > Skills were especially useful to help me > Visualize her Vision. > > Cindy is also very creative in finding solutions > To possible problems My kitchen cabinets > Needed replacing.

You gave us the direction we needed to pull the design together and make your little cabin a quiet get-away from the city! Thank you for the opportunity to help you! It was so much fun. **★★★★★ — Linda Pirkle, Dec. 2018** > I loved working with Cindy and team to turn a 1985 log cabin into an updated mountain retreat and home! Cindy took my vague descriptions and transformed them into design that perfectly captured my love for the old, my desire for updated functionality, and my desire to accentuate appreciation for the outdoors… all while including quite a few objects from another home and style. > The entire StudioTrimble team was a pleasure to work with. It’s obvious that they enjoy working together, discovering and exceeding their clients’ expectations, and sharing the joy of getting to know new people. A wonderful experience! **Comment from StudioTrimble:** > Thank you so much Linda for your review! It was such a pleasure working with you and Quentin! Your home is so charming and the more "modern cottage" design direction that you desired was a perfect fit for your traditional log home. We were so pleased with the end result and wish you and Quentin many years of happiness enjoying living there! **★★★★★ — Sandy Wilbanks, Dec. 2018** > Studio Trimble IS the benchmark for interior design in North Georgia. Cindy Trimble and her team took a great deal of time discussing what my goals were with the project. She was spot on with her suggestions and earned my trust. > She did a wonderful job for me and she went out of her way to make the process as easy as possible. I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Carol Hunt, Dec. 2018** > I wish there were a rating higher than 5 stars; StudioTrimble is deserving of such a rating. Cindy and her team are amazing. They were able to listen to my vision and make it so. I have an eclectic style (to say the least). I want my home to reflect the many layers of what I love and who we are, as a family. My love for varied art, antiques, modern style, old farm boards,... yes, Grandpa's wood toting 100 year old wagon is next to the grand piano. Cindy knows how to weave balance, color, design, style and make it YOU. She and her team also have a great respect for you budget. What is really cool is that ALL of my art fit back in the room (and, even better). I am only having to purchase two cushy chairs and the couch.. .all other furniture fits as if it was made to be so. Well, perhaps it was. > > On a practical note, Team Trimble was super fast to answer any last minute questions or brain storm thoughts. Follow through with deadlines and communication with my contractor- also excellent. These are important qualities to make a project fun and make good memories int the process. > > Thank you, StudioTrimble, for your awesome work. **Comment from StudioTrimble:** > Carol, > Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart to the top of my drawing board for this amazing review. You were such fun to work with, absolutely loved the process and best of all the end result. We are so thrilled you are so happy with your renovation. Thank you!!! > Cindy **★★★★★ — Ron Rodgers, Jan. 2018** > Cindy’s professionalism, deep knowledge and ability to focus disparate inputs were pivotal to the successful construction of our mountain home in North Georgia. Her talents extended far beyond what I would consider the “design elements” into more of a project manager’s role. Cindy’s vast experience allowed her to monitor and advise the builder during all aspects of construction. This “value added” benefit allowed for seamless communication and monitoring when I was unable to visit the construction site - especially important when you are building two hours away from your home! Cindy allowed us to stay within our budget not simply by suggesting cheaper alternatives but by seeking out suppliers that were willing to work with us on pricing. Cindy is absolutely a joy to work with and I continue to call for advice as I work on our new home in Atlanta. I would not just recommend her . . . I would not build another home without her! **★★★★★ — Linda Feldman, Jan. 2018** > I hired StudioTrimble to decorate our 4-bedroom, 4-bath cabin on Lake Blue Ridge, and Cindy and her staff were wonderful to work with. Every time I or my guests walk in, we are greeted with beauty and serenity. From furnishings, to bedding, kitchen ware and accessories, everything works. I can highly recommend this professional. **★★★★★ — Jim McCarter, Dec. 2017** > Cindy was the consummate professional on the project she helped us with and became a valued partner in the process. Her suggestions were always used and to great reviews from those visiting our home. She is a take charge person who listened to our ideas and then made them come alive coupling them with her own ideas to give us what we wanted, but often did not know they existed. She was easy to do business with and her forecasts were spot on with the later invoices. Cindy has an uncanny ability to work together with customers, vendors, builders & sub-contractors. > > The next time we have a need to use a decorator, we will definitely use Cindy Trimble, **★★★★★ — Steve Grable, Dec. 2017** > We've just completed a total renovation and expansion of a seventeen year old house located in Blue Ridge, GA, on Lake Blue Ridge. Including pre-construction design consultation, the project has taken a full 12 months. The results are phenomenal and we're very pleased! We could not have done this without the design and construction review services provided by Cindy Trimble at Studio Trimble. She took an aging lakeside bungalow and turned it into a contemporary "mountain modern" home with vast open areas, massive fireplace utilizing coronado stone, and a 40' long telescoping glass door that provides access to our deck overlooking the lake. In addition, she was sensitive to our budget and helped in many ways to keep the project affordable without sacrificing quality. She is great to work with! **★★★★★ — Ben Hatfield, Dec. 2017** > I recently had the pleasure of using Cindy's talent and skill for a third large interior design project. She very successfully helped me transition modern art deco furnishings from a high rise Atlanta condo to a lake cabin. Not something easy to pull off. But with Cindy’s creative ideas, it turned out great. I couldn't be happier with Cindy’s work on this project, as well as the previous two. She will work with you until you are happy. **★★★★★ — Marti Nunn, Dec. 2017** > Cindy Trimble isn't just a designer. She is an amazing person. Several years ago, she donated her time and talents to Second Wind Retreat, a non-profit free mountain retreat for cancer patients. She championed our cause in so many ways, and was even instrumental in connecting us with high quality, affordable kitchen, bathroom, flooring, furnishings and other resources. The result is a warm, inviting, relaxing environment that our cancer patient guests never fail to comment on. ## Selected projects - [Sycamore Crossing Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sycamore-crossing-residence-pj-vj~6919954) - Location: Blue Ridge, GA - Photos: 9 - [Modern on Lake Blue Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-on-lake-blue-ridge-pj-vj~2862473) - Location: Blue Ridge, GA - Photos: 19 - [The Ridgeline Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-ridgeline-retreat-pj-vj~6446556) - Location: Blue Ridge, GA - Photos: 37 - [River's Edge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-s-edge-pj-vj~6314816) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Ben's Fishcamp and Martini Bar Front Entry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ben-s-fishcamp-and-martini-bar-front-entry-pj-vj~6314803) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Blue Ridge Eclectic on the Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-ridge-eclectic-on-the-lake-pj-vj~6053338) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Star Creek Modern Mountain Lake House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/star-creek-modern-mountain-lake-house-pj-vj~5527209) - Location: Blue Ridge, GA - Photos: 14 - [Necoya Cove Timberframe](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/necoya-cove-timberframe-pj-vj~5497164) - Location: Blue Ridge, GA - Photos: 16 - [Choctaw Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/choctaw-residence-pj-vj~2262986) - Location: Blue Ridge, GA - Photos: 23 - Description: Choctaw was designed and constructed to be a very low maintenance, easy living accessible home for a retired couple to “Age in Place” comfortably and easily. The main living area is all on the main level. The lower terrace level houses two guest rooms with baths, a Den with a TV and game table and a bar. The exterior is all Hardee board siding with an architectural shingle roof. The only real wood accents are at the front door entry and on rear decks.

This home was shy of storage, loaded with lots of wood (floors, walls and ceilings were all wood) and was dated and dull. We completely blew out the kitchen and all bathrooms and totally renovated the basement into a cozy entertainment space. The style ended up being "mountain modern" which was sensitive to the modern home style, but fresh with contemporary creature comforts and details. - [Fightingtown Creek Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fightingtown-creek-estate-pj-vj~2862498) - Location: Blue Ridge, GA - Photos: 18 - Description: StudioTrimble was involved in this project from initial home concept design through complete Interior Design and Interior Decoration. The home is 10,000 square feet which was initiated by our client's dream plan that he had sketched years prior. We took his hand drawing and detailed all the floor plans, the exterior and interior elevations. We assisted with the selection of all doors and windows, handrails, hardware and exterior materials. The Interior Design scope included: selection of all fin… - [Utana Bluffs Homestead](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/utana-bluffs-homestead-pj-vj~2295834) - Location: Ellijay, GA - Photos: 39 - Description: This home was 90% completed when our studio got involved to reconfigure some of the spaces to take better advantage of the million dollar view (moved the laundry room to the back of the house against the woods and created a new dining space with window seat). We skinned the new bay window where the dining room is with reclaimed red barnwood to add interest to the brown and gray facade. we also added red barnwood shutters and shelves for the clients window boxes.

This pushed the home owners into a different design direction that was to change the "true log house" into a "warm, shabby chic cottage" feel. In addition to renovating the existing log shell, we bumped out the back deck facing the lake, extended the left side to create an outdoor living area with a bedroom and office below. The existing bedrooms and baths… - [Mountain High Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-high-residence-pj-vj~343945) - Location: Blue Ridge, GA - Photos: 10 - [Lake Front Log Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-front-log-home-pj-vj~343969) - Location: Blue Ridge, GA - Photos: 1 [See all 25 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/studiotrimble-pfvwus-pf~1736481780) ## Ideabooks - [Wood Kitchen Hoods](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/35119679/list/wood-kitchen-hoods) — 1 idea - [Beams on Vaulted ceiling](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33299056/list/beams-on-vaulted-ceiling) — 3 ideas - [Rustic Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30209217/list/rustic-fireplaces) — 11 ideas - [Built In Bunk Beds](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30209166/list/built-in-bunk-beds) — 8 ideas - [Garage/Carport Ideas - Yount](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/12336906/list/garage-carport-ideas-yount) — 2 ideas - [ctrimblekelly's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2852581/list/ctrimblekelly-s-ideas) — 1 idea [See all 6 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/studiotrimble) ## Community Q&A **Q: What brand and style and color is the floor brick?** *(in Photo Questions)* Also wondering if the product is a brick or a porcelain tile. I like the look as I am wanting to install a redish brick over the dirt floor of my cellar with limestone rock walls. Something that will tie in with the 1880 built cellar. Thanks A: This is a true thin brick paver intended for floor use. I’m so sorry that this project was built such a long time ago that we no longer have the information on the specific product and manufacturer. **Q: cabin** *(in Photo Questions)* how much money is this? A: I am not sure what your question is referring to, furniture, lighting, etc. **Q: What kinda of blinds are on the windows** *(in Photo Questions)* Building a new home A: thank you for your question, the blinds are Graber pleated shades. they are wonderful because they fold up to a minimal amount so not to block views! **Q: Would love to feature your log cabin living room!** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello, My Name is Sarah Woods, I’m an Editor at Log Cabin Hub, one of the leading online Log Cabin publications.
