Cebula Design brings a century-spanning American design perspective to fashioning transitional interiors with an emphasis on comfort and personal style. Based in Massachusetts' historic North Shore, the firm works with clients from Maine to the Caribbean on projects that range in size from intimate family spaces to large-scale estates. CDI's showroom offers a curated selection of the most-prized and best-crafted rugs, lighting, furnishings and accessories available in the luxury market today.
 
     Since 1985, CDI has melded an aesthetic vision with keen advice on the long-term value achieved by investing in fine homes. The design process involves not only a visual and tactile approach, but also logistical and fiduciary organization. To this task, Michael Cebula brings an extraordinary, wide-ranging knowledge of design, from period restorations to the latest trends in contemporary living.
 
     Regardless of the home's architectural style or client's decor preferences, a Michael Cebula room exudes a sublime balance. His inspiration may come from a certain painting, a prized family heirloom, or something as simple as a client's love of a whimsical chair. The harmonizing of gorgeous colors and textures, as well as the layering of details, brings a completeness and joy to each room. Thirty years and counting, the passion is still burning.

Michael Cebula, Owner and Design Director:
     Michael Cebula has loved art and design from a very early age. As an enthusiastic twelve year-old, he convinced his parents to let him paint their mahogany bedroom set and it all seemed to take off from there.  “I always approach a project with the same enthusiasm I had when I began my career. Cebula is a six-time PRISM award winner and has been recognized nationally by the NAHB for Best Interior Design of a Custom Home. Michael gives thanks every day for good health and happiness.

Jeffrey Adams, Owner and Managing Director:
     In his role leading the business, Adams brings keen insight into the  complexities of running a vital and dynamic multi-level operation. He also brings his expertise for the visual arts to clients interested in building their own fine art collections. From humble beginnings, Adams recognizes the value his parents put on education and self discipline for their children.  Understanding he was given the privilege to learn and succeed is the fuel that drives his life each day.  Blessings are everywhere.

**★★★★★ — Joy Fogg-Reynolds, Sept. 2022**

> We used Cebula Design as the general contractor for the complete renovation of our house. They began under difficult circumstances as they took over the renovation from another contractor. They started with the studs and took the renovation all the way to completion including custom wood work, new electrical service and wiring, replumbing the entire house, installing radiant floor heating, and flooring, granite counters and tiling. We were thrilled with the results.
> We met some of the nicest contractors. They were all conscientious and treated our house with respect – as if it was their own home.
> We also used Cebula for the interior design services (including picture hanging) and selection of furnishings. They were so helpful with narrowing down the fabric choices and furniture selections. The details are everything when it comes to the interior design and Cebula kept us informed about the progress of the manufacturing of our furniture from selection to delivery.
> We would certainly work with Cebula Design in the future.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Roy, April 2016**

> Cebula Design recently designed our new kitchen and living room as well as a powder room.  They captured our style and tastes and have created spaces that look like they belong in a magazine.  We are delighted with their work as well as their ability to deal with the unexpected.  Every person who worked on our house was friendly and professional.
>
> Our renovation would have been completed on time if it had not been for a problem outside of their control.  More importantly, they worked to address the problem swiftly and made sure it was not just fixed but that we were still completely happy with the outcome.  I would recommend them to anyone!

**★★★★★ — erinlghrn, Aug. 2014**

> Cebula Design was wonderful to work with. They introduced so many great design ideas and successfully executed the vision we had for the room.  We could not be happier with the final product.

**★★★★★ — kristincanty, July 2014**

> I have hired Cebula Design for both very small projects and for whole house projects, and It is always a  pleasure working with them.  Their talent, expertise,  experience, and excellent customer service makes every project I do with them fun and stress free.  I love their work and highly recommend them.

**★★★★★ — gobby68, July 2014**

> I have worked with Cebula for a number of years now, and I'm always 100% satisfied.  I receive great advice and top-notch service every time Cebula is involved in one of my home design projects.  The work they do is high-quality and beautiful, and they have never steered me wrong.  I would recommend Cebula Design to anyone interested in home decor - either small or large projects - you will not be disappointed!!!

**★★★★★ — jpclark, July 2014**

> We have been working with Cebula Design, Inc. for almost 12 years.  They started with our primary residence in Boxford, helped with our summer home in New Hampshire, then assisted with the new home we moved to in Manchester-by-the-Sea.  Michael, Jeffrey and staff are the consummate professionals.  They were respectful of our style and taste, and always keep in mind our budget.  They work diligently to bring you fresh, innovative ideas while never being pushy.  They always stand by their products and services.  If there is ever an issue, they promptly address your concerns and develop an action plan.  We purchased our furniture, antique rugs and artwork through Cebula Design.  There isn't a person that comes to our house that doesn't remark how beautiful it looks.  We always give the credit to Michael and Jeffrey.  They are not only our decorators, but have become dear friends who would do anything for us!

**★★★★★ — Windover Construction, Feb. 2014**

> We (Windover Construction) have worked with Cebula Design on a number of projects. Michael Cebula and his team have done an amazing job for all of our clients. When a client is in need of an interior designer, we recommend Cebula Design every time. They are a collaborative partner that understands the importance of putting our clients first and making the experience exceptional every time. We look forward to working with Cebula Design again soon!

**★★★★★ — Olde Colony Woodworking, Feb. 2014**

> I have worked hand in hand with Cebula Design on numerous projects over the past ten years. Michael Cebula and Jeffery Adams can offer unique and inspiring options to their customers. The attention to detail from the entire staff is refreshing. The clients vision and satisfaction are the main focus in every case. Cebula Design is always apleasure to work with.
