She was a great asset to have during a complicated and high-end build. Her tenacious attitude left no stone unturned when complications arose. She shows sophistication with her eye for detail and Design. We appreciate her knowledge and expertise. **★★★★★ — Kimberley Hinman, Feb. 2018** > Colleen has a unique ability to totally transform a space and make it fabulous! Unique ideas in her designs and an emphasis first on form and function. We enjoy working with Colleen and so do our clients. **Comment from CMC Design Studio LLC:** > Thank you Kim! I love working with Hinman Construction as well! **★★★★★ — Peter Brooks, Feb. 2018** > One would expect every professional designer to be well informed on materials, styles, and colors. Colleen certainly has command of all that information. But what makes her stand out are her creativity and energy. We had several knotty space challenges and she came up with great ideas - which work! In addition, her high energy level is reflected in persistence and consistent attention to detail. **★★★★★ — Larissa Rosecrans, Feb. 2018** > Colleen's designs, and eye for detail is some of the best i've ever seen. Her finished work is spectacular, and she really does think of EVERYTHING to make the space functional for what we as her clients NEED and WANT, AND stunningly beautiful. She was willing to go above and beyond to coordinate everyone involved in the projects to ensure timely completion and exceptional workmanship. She does beautiful work, so if great end results are what you are after, you will not be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Barb Holmes, Sept. 2016** > Collen is extremely organized and professional. She was always available and on time for every meeting prepared with great plans. I felt very listened to and my style was quickly absorbed into her design. She uses a lot of resources to make sure she has the best layout and overall feel. Colleen is super patient! She spent a long time trying different options to accommodate my ideas. Colleen always modified the plans until I loved it. She nailed my vision for my kitchen renovation! **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2015** > I had previously hired CMC Design Studios to redo my kitchen, and since I was so very pleased with the result, I hired them again to remodel my master bathroom. Colleen Coleman and her team were wonderful to work with and they completed the job within my budget. The results far exceeded my expectations! > At the beginning of the bathroom project, Colleen gave me a good understanding of what my bathroom would look like in advance using her digital design tools and provided different design options for me to choose from. I love the unique custom features Colleen incorporated into the design, including a vanity drawer with handy compartments, a stunning wall design in the shower made from tiles in the same stone of different sizes, and gorgeous lighting and plumbing fixtures. This bathroom is both beautiful and highly functional. > Colleen is a very engaged project manager. She oversaw every aspect of the project and ensured that all work met her high standards. I highly recommend CMC Design Studios. > Dora Q. **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2015** > We used CMC Design Studio to redesign the Master Bathroom. Colleen provided creative design alternatives and addressed construction details that would be needed to make the final design. She was always available to help with hardware and decorating selections. The contractors were very happy to work with her and they commented many times about how her technical input during the design and construction of the project was a significant asset to efficient and timely completion of the work. It was a delight to work with Colleen on this project in our home. **★★★★★ — caghandi, Dec. 2015** > CMC Design Studio LLC is just GREAT !! > > The proprietor, Colleen Coleman, has a super eye for detail, finds amazing deals to keep costs down, and works with the contractors to get the install done right the first time. > > Background > =========== > I needed a studio office over the garage to run a business from my home. > The ceiling is inclined and CMC used both the shape and location of windows > to match up the exterior surroundings of the Vermont hillsides. We went with a > modern Scandinavian look with green marble counter top and maple wood work. > The space blends well with the natural soundings. > When I am not using it for office space, the kitchenette and full bath makes for great guest housing for family and even professional visitors. The Vermont Soapstone Ben Franklin stove fits perfectly to round off the space to a cozy lodge feeling with versatile sofa that wheels out to a full Queen size bed. > > without an interior designer and CMC's ability to provide a full 3D mock up, it would have been impossible to figure out how to fit all the little pieces together in a cozy layout. > > Small space design needs a lot of pre-planning. A good designer like CMC saved me a ton because we could really plan things out carefully, in stages, over a few years to keep within budget. ## Selected projects - [Custom Walk-In Closet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-walk-in-closet-pj-vj~2917713) - Location: Saratoga Springs, NY - Photos: 2 - [Contemporary Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-cottage-pj-vj~1333660) - Location: Greenwich, NY - Photos: 13 - [A Cook's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-cook-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1340138) - Location: Clifton Park, NY - Photos: 12 - Description: Winner of the 2015 NY Tri-State NKBA Best Remodel Kitchen up to 300 Sqft - [Master Bathroom Blue Flower](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bathroom-blue-flower-pj-vj~1337619) - Location: Saratoga Springs, NY - Photos: 25 - Description: What to do with a dark, dated master bath? All the client knew was she wanted a chandelier with some “bling”. Check! Now for the bathroom. With a great need to lighten the overall space, we developed a decorative tile scheme from a singular selection in different sizes. The shower stall was enlarged and prepped with blocking material for grab bars. We incorporated a hydrorail by Kohler to simplify the valves between the rainshower head and the hand held unit. The pressure valve was located near… - [Small Kitchen Living Large](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/small-kitchen-living-large-pj-vj~1362090) - Location: Albany, NY - Photos: 12 - Description: Winner of the 2015 NY Tri-State NKBA Best Remodel Kitchen up to 150 Sqft - [A Masterful Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-masterful-bathroom-pj-vj~1362270) - Location: Saratoga Springs, NY - Photos: 7 - [Sentimental Vanity](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sentimental-vanity-pj-vj~1454181) - Location: Clifton Park, NY - Photos: 3 - Description: Winner of the 2015 NY Tri-State NKBA Best Remodel Half Bath - [A Modern Historical Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-modern-historical-kitchen-pj-vj~6150411) - Location: Malta, NY - Photos: 14 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/cmc-design-studio-llc-pfvwus-pf~788542760) ## Ideabooks - [Full Bath make Over](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/109795513/list/full-bath-make-over) — 2 ideas - [Stone Kitchen Sink-Custom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/104833693/list/stone-kitchen-sink-custom) — 1 idea - [Savannah Home](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/98006210/list/savannah-home) — 1 idea - [professional office small spaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/94425185/list/professional-office-small-spaces) — 3 ideas - [Black Dining Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88217980/list/black-dining-rooms) — 9 ideas - [Loft Living](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21899561/list/loft-living) — 9 ideas - [Small Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21472709/list/small-family-room) — 3 ideas - [Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1820792/list/bedrooms) — 2 ideas [See all 8 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/cmcds) ## Community Q&A **Q: Brand and size of sink** *(in Photo Questions)* Would you please tell the make and size of the kitchen sink? Also, just verifying that the cabinet width is the same as the sink? So many undermount sinks require 3+ inch larger cabinet to undermount "within" the sink cabinet's walls but some like this one maybe are resting on top of braces attached to next cabinets' walls? A: Thank you for your inquiry. The sink is the Kohler Whitehaven. The cabinets are all custom designed & crafted with the sink base at 30” wide to accommodate the farm sink. Please contact us if you are interested in discussing a kitchen design! **Q: Dimension** *(in Photo Questions)* Whats the dimension of the space and the length of the bar? Thanks. A: Thank you for your inquiry. The kitchen dimensions are 12'-1" x 9'-4". The wood bar top which sits directly on the Silestone countertop is 8'6" L x 18" D. Using the white cabinets and light countertops visually enlarged this space significantly from its original appearance and cabinet layout. Hope that is helpful. **Q: Tell us: Do you send thank you gifts to clients?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Do you send thank you gifts to clients over the holidays? If so, what do you send? Has it been received well? Tell us! (photos encouraged) A: Yes, I love finding something special that speaks to the clients project. At Christmas time, I even make them cookies! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-03.*
