My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

I have worked with Christina Ishida on multiple projects throughout my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail was outstanding. She truly listened to my vision and elevated it in ways I never imagined. One of my favorite projects is my primary bathroom and walk in closet which completely transformed the space and made it both beautiful and functional. Every element feels intentional, and the quality of work is top-notch. If you’re looking for an interior designer who delivers exceptional results with a personal touch, I highly recommend Christina Ishida. Five stars all the way!

Christina is a pleasure to work with. She is very easy to relate to, has a warm personality and most importantly, great taste!! She listened to me and I listened to her. My kitchen was a collaborative effort and I appreciated her flexibility. Her responsiveness was key to making this project easy for me to get through. I will definitely work with Christina in the future!

I worked with Christina on a kitchen, family room, and front hall project. She was a joy to work with and has a wonderful aesthetic eye. She quickly grasped my style and put together the look I wanted but wasn't sure how to achieve. Her selections were thoughtful, fit beautifully in the space, and elevated the pieces I already had. I love the finished product and I look forward to working with her again on my next project.

Christina is easy to work with. I like how she has an option to just pay her by the hour. That way, there is no pressure to buy anything. She gave me good advice, and helped me make a decision when I was completely overwhelmed.

We have known Christina for several years and she has been invaluable in helping us decorate our home and our vacation home. Christina took the time to really get to know us and our lifestyle so much so that we consider her to be a part of our family. This is evident in the spectacular designs she has done for us. Her delivery in both of these homes has far exceeded our expectations. When we first saw the finished product in our vacation home it simply took our breath away.....and still does today. We are so, so happy with everything she has done for us.....we cannot recommended her enough to others. Cindy Feldman

Remodeled foyer including staircase, paint color and decorations. Remodeled main floor powder room. Assisted with cabinet refacing and paint color for light kitchen remodel. Christina is kind, patient and has a beautiful vision. She is a true professional and a perfectionist. She wants everything to be perfect and will not rest until it is to a high standard. I very much enjoyed working with her and genuinely appreciated all of her efforts in revitalizing our home.

It was great working with Christina from Cici Crib Interiors. She listened carefully the style we wanted, gave us options to choose from, and truly transformed our family room. She and her assistant Polly were always there for us with quick responses to questions about everything. We're looking forward to working with them again on our next project.

Christina is a fantastic designer who "gets it". Her endless enthusiasm, creativity and professionalism made the whole process so easy for us. Christina respected our budget and was always on time. Her design took our space from boring to gorgeous. It feels like the well loved home we wanted. She presented us with furnishings, fabrics, colors, lighting etc. that was 100% exactly what we wanted.

We hired Christina to help buy "big kid" furniture for both of our children once they moved from a crib to a bed. She was great to work with and has excellent taste.

We hired Cici Crib Interiors to design the interior of our restaurant, Senti, in Pittsburgh. We wanted a modern, sophisticated look. And that is what we got. The design is minimal and stark with clean white walls offset by a large, dark purple wall highlighting world class artwork. Christina stayed within our tight budget, and she finished well within the deadline of our opening. She designed a sleek, golden bar in the center of the restaurant that glows when lit and creates warmth within the minimalism. The resulting look of the restaurant was beyond our expectations!

As an artist who has had the pleasure of working with Christina, I can honestly say that she is visually gifted, as well as the consummate professional. I observed her work her magic on many decorating projects, transforming rooms into special and welcoming spaces. She always creates a fresh and clean space, yet with the client's personality shining through. She listens to her clients, then researches diligently to make sure she can provide an original to the owner space. One-of-a-kind for sure.

I know Christine from when she had her store. She is a delightful person and so easy to deal with. She's worked with us to design, pick fabrics and have made curtains for my daughter's room. She has a great sense of style and fun!

Christina and her staff at Cici Crib Interiors are wonderful!! They listen to what you want and guide you in the right direction. They don't push products that are above and beyond what you want to spend. After working with Christina to decorate my daughter's room she has gotten to know what I like/don't like and is now helping me in other areas of my home. I look forward to more projects in the future with Christina!!

Commented: what color is the islandHi Allycin The colors of the cabinets were stock colors. The island cabinets are a dusty blue and the perimeter cabinets were a very light gray, almost white. I hope that helps you with your project!
