Enter Cindy. She has been an absolute lifesaver throughout this process! > > From the moment we started working together, Cindy brought innovative ideas to the table. She helped us transform our dated kitchen into a stunning, open-concept space by suggesting we remove a clunky corner pantry and reimagine the layout. For our master bathroom, she introduced us to elegant tile and hardware options that gave it a spa-like feel. And the outdoor patio? Cindy turned it into the perfect oasis with her design expertise and connections to an incredible landscaping team. > > Being out of town frequently, I relied on Cindy to keep everything on track. She met with contractors and suppliers on-site, handled all the coordination, and kept us informed every step of the way. Her ability to manage countless decisions—from paint colors and furniture to lighting and flooring—was a game-changer. > > Her selections for each space were nothing short of perfect, and her attention to detail brought out the personality of our home in a way we couldn't have imagined. Cindy’s network of trusted professionals ensured that every aspect of the work was done to the highest standard. > > Beyond her talent and professionalism, Cindy is a joy to work with—creative, approachable, and so much fun! I couldn’t be happier with the results and will undoubtedly be calling her for any future projects. I wholeheartedly recommend Cindy for any design needs, big or small! **★★★★★ — nomalleymd, July 2023** > I worked with Cindy Dakovich in redecorating our living room, dining room, entry room, kitchen and breakfast nook. She transformed our tired, dated rooms into a light, bright, serene and comfortable home. It was always a pleasure to work with Cindy. She quickly discerned our desires and knew just what to look for, saving us tremendous time. She gladly worked within our budget and came up with great ideas. She is an excellent communicator, easy to work with, honest, hard working, and able to think outside the box, coming up with wonderful options for problem spaces. I always looked forward to our sessions together. She would preselect several possible options for every decision that needed to be made based on our previous conversations. They were always creative and gorgeous ideas within our budget. She would patiently help me compare all options and answer all my questions before any decisions were made. > > Her billing was always straightforward and clear, there were no surprises. I have only great things to say about Cindy and her team. I would highly recommend her for any design projects. **★★★★★ — Sally Z, Dec. 2022** > We hired Cindy to help design our dream home. She partnered with us from conception to completion in our two year project on the central coast. Cindy did a beautiful job of incorporating family heirlooms, perfectly mixing modern aesthetic with timeless pieces paying homage to our heritage. Her impeccable attention to detail seamlessly tied together every room across our expansive home. She developed concept boards that served as the springboard for collaboration allowing us the opportunity to engage in a streamlined feedback process highlighting her skills in bringing to life everything we imagined and more. She has an eye for quality materials and craftsmanship delivering both function and highly stylized concepts. She is a joy to work with and always made us feel like her highest priority. We always recommend her services and will definitely use her in any future projects. Thank you Impact Interiors! **★★★★★ — HU-863374341, Nov. 2021** > What started out to be a 1 empty room project quickly turned into a complete redo. Then, Cindy worked her magic. I totally love the redo and cannot thank her enough for giving me this warm-comfortable-cozy home. > > If you are fortunate enough to have Cindy as your designer you are fortunate, indeed!, > > Patty Nagel **Comment from Coral & Oak Furnishings & Design:** > Patty... It has been such a pleasure working with you for over the past 2 years. You have a great eye and know what you like which makes my job so much easier. Your home came together beautifully and I am so glad you are happy with it and I was a part of it! **★★★★★ — Robert Mohr, April 2021** > It has been my great pleasure to work with Cindy at Impact Interiors. She came into my full interior home remodel project which had already been partially completed. Advice was needed to complete the project and create a contemporary “look.” Within days of evaluating what had been done thus far, she turned the project around into a new and professionally correct direction. Cindy is a pleasure to work with and will “listen” to the person that has asked her for expert guidance. I highly recommend her for your project design and development. **★★★★★ — Terri Heron, Aug. 2020** > Cindy at Impact Interiors exceeded all our expectations! She is awesome to work with and does absolute beautiful work. I highly recommend her! She will not disappoint. **★★★★★ — Noreen Freitas, Dec. 2019** > Working with Cindy was the biggest breath of fresh air. After interviewing many designers, Cindy gave me the peace of mind that I wouldn't have to worry about anything. She truly listened to everything that I wanted and worked so well with my contractor and architect. I now live in my dream home and know it wouldn't feel nearly the same without Cindy's help. I would recommend her an day! **★★★★★ — Sharon Fisher, Dec. 2017** > Well, our little "remodel" ended up being a total renovation! I was completely overwhelmed having to choose EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING for our beach home. Thank goodness I found Cindy! Living almost 3 hours away from the project made having Cindy (who lived near the project) a MUST. She had SUCH great ideas - like to blow out the wall between the kitchen and living room -- and kept our choices in tile, plumbing, light fixtures, hardware, furnishings and paint choices meticulously organized, making the process SO much easier! She set up meetings and brought with her whatever we needed at each stage to make the best decisions for the look we were going for. She met with our contractor and various subs at the job site for us due to the long distance factor. The floor she chose for us is beyond FABULOUS as are the paint colors, quartz and tile selections used in our home. All are absolutely perfect in every way for our beach house. The cabinet maker, window coverings people and landscaper that she introduced us to were all total professionals and did a fantastic job! Not only does Cindy have tons of great ideas, she's such a fun person to work with. I would highly recommend Impact Interiors for any minor to major home renovation! We are absolutely thrilled with the finished project. **★★★★★ — Rich Klimczak, Aug. 2017** > We wanted to update our kitchen and we knew we needed help to do it. Watching the home remodel shows on TV made us also realize we would need to update our family room, dining room, living room and main entry way along with the kitchen as we desired an open concept design. We picked Cindy based on her Houzz projects and positive reviews. We definitely made the right choice. Cindy was a joy to work with. She listened to our ideas and merged them with her vision and the end result was perfect. She guided us to make the right choices in the design of the rooms and was invaluable helping us pick out rugs, furniture and window coverings. The thing about Cindy we especially enjoyed was that she never hesitated providing us with ideas. This allowed us to make selections without long periods of time of not knowing what to do. We highly recommend Cindy, she is an expert at what she does. **★★★★★ — P Neves, Aug. 2016** > We can't say enough great things about Cindy and Impact Interiors! She made decorating fun! She's so talented and organized. She's very professional and always had our best interest. She has great ideas and a knack for finding just the right pieces with cost consciousness in mind. We were so impressed and pleased with this project. Our friends and family love her work, as well. We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend her services! **Comment from Coral & Oak Furnishings & Design:** > Thank you so much Pat! It was really a pleasure working with you and Stan. You guys made everything very easy for me. I'm not sure where these photos are from attached to this but you can see the pictures I posted of your project under the projects tab on my home page here and Pismo Beach Vacation Rental. I have gotten a lot of positive feedback on them! Thank you for letting me be a part of this ;) **★★★★★ — janicebeene, Aug. 2016** > Cindy was very professional and listened to my needs. She helped my pick out the furniture, area rugs, and the interior paints. I trusted her in bringing the rooms together. She gave me small projects to complete. I replaced the artificial plants with live ones in colorful pots. I recovered the dining room chairs. I bought new frames for some pictures and a circular mirror that looks great over the mantel. I enjoyed the hands on projects. It was a team effort and I love the outcome. **★★★★★ — C W Quinn Home, July 2016** > I loved working with Cindy. We recently helped her pick tile for a large project of hers. She is an excellent designer with great taste and the ultimate professional. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a wonderful interior designer. It was a lot of fun!

I posted a few before pictures and will be adding more before and after pictures of the exterior soon so you can see where we started. This amazing home sits on a cliff in our beautiful beach town and the potential was endless. It had some serious foundation issues to start with which ended up taking the home almost down to the studs. The kitchen was closed in with walls blocking their amazing views and the ceiling sloped down… - [Pismo Beach Medical Spa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pismo-beach-medical-spa-pj-vj~6950163) - Location: Pismo Beach, CA - Photos: 5 - [Pismo Beach Furnishings Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pismo-beach-furnishings-project-pj-vj~6333813) - Location: Pismo Beach, CA - Photos: 13 - Description: This wonderful project was a joy to do! It was for furniture only as my clients had just finished some remodeling and decided to not bring back in any of the old furniture. So, it was out with the old and in with the new! We started with conceptual designs for each room and furniture layouts to see what would fit in to each room. From there, we dialed in each piece to fit perfectly, carefully choosing fabrics that would cater to a big family with some tall people! The overall feel is a soft coas… - [Santa Maria Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/santa-maria-custom-home-pj-vj~5860330) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - Description: This beautiful custom home was a special home for us indeed. We loved working with the classic mediterranean style with a transitional feel while highlighting the amazing views.

The patio was completely replaced with all new outdoor furniture, rugs, amazing potted succulents - [The Century Room Restaurant](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-century-room-restaurant-pj-vj~2635737) - Location: Santa Maria, CA - Photos: 20 - Description: This year is the 100 year anniversary of The Historic Santa Maria Inn. This restaurant inside the hotel was formerly named The Garden Room and was fittingly renamed The Century Room. The old layout was loose banquet style seating with heavy draperies as you will see in the before pictures below. Our vision went to a Frank Sinatra vibe with heavy velvet booths, textured leathers, warm wood flooring, meaningful artwork and so on. With this, we got started with AutoCAD drawings of several new layou… - [SLO Mid-Century Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/slo-mid-century-modern-pj-vj~2636014) - Location: San Luis Obispo, CA - Photos: 29 - Description: This was such a fun project!

We opened up the wall to the kitchen, re-arranged the layout of the kitchen, removed the "popcorn" ceiling, installed all new lighting, hardwood floors, paint, re-faced the fireplace, new cabinetry, tile and all new living room furniture. It was quite a transformation as you can see from the before and after pictures below! - [Modern Farmhouse Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farmhouse-remodel-pj-vj~2328202) - Location: Hanford, CA - Photos: 34 - Description: This beautiful home had great bones and a great lay out to start with. We started over with the kitchen tearing out the 2 islands that were there creating one large island. We added the bar area which feels like an extension of the kitchen. The cabinets were painted, glazed and stained, and a stunning slab of quartzite was leathered and used for the island countertop. We added reclaimed wood to the ceiling in the nook and dining room and barn doors to tie in the farmhouse feel of the home. The f… - [Pismo Beach Bungalow Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pismo-beach-bungalow-remodel-pj-vj~1241719) - Location: Pismo Beach, CA - Photos: 35 - Description: This project consisted of a complete renovation of a 1960's 2 bedroom/1 bath Pismo Beach bungalow. It was taken down to the studs along with adding on an additional 900 s.f. of space which includes a master bedroom and bathroom as well as a guest bathroom. The exterior entry was raised for a modern grand entrance complete with an 8 foot custom walnut door with decorative privacy glass. - [Cayucos Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cayucos-remodel-pj-vj~1214605) - Location: Cayucos, CA - Photos: 25 - Description: This was a complete renovation of a Cayucos beach home. The homeowners moved out for 6 months and we got busy! Every last thing was removed from the house and away we went. All of the flooring and tile in the entire house was removed along with all of the doors, casings, baseboards, lighting, cabinetry, fireplace and so on. Some walls were removed and others shortened or re-built. The kitchen and master bath were completely redesigned along with additional custom cabinetry added throughout. The… - [SLO Bachelor Pad](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/slo-bachelor-pad-pj-vj~1669962) - Location: San Luis Obispo, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: This home was very old, outdated and abandoned.

Aside from this, it is a breath taking ocean from home. Per our clients request, we took out the tub/shower combination in the guest bath and made it into a full walk-in shower complete with a seat. In the master bath, we took out a closet to add more room and accommodate a large soaking tub as well. It's hard to believe we started from these before pictures!
