I have worked with the wonderful ladies with Elephant Ears for over 3 years. They are a joy to work with on their projects. Whether you're looking for high quality furniture or a complete re-design of your home, they are everything you would want in a partner.

I have the pleasure of working with Cathy and Megan often on projects that require a lot of attention to detail. As the owner of a marble company we are always looking for ways to implement mixed natural stones for great design and balance. The designers at Elephant Ears Design are always on it and are fantastic at bringing great interior design and color sequence together that makes our work stand out. Highly recommend them!

Everyone at Elephant Ears Design it was very helpful and always responded in timely manner. They were able to help me furnish a one bedroom apartment to make it really feel like home. I've worked with them in the past and will continue to work with them in the future.

A true professional, with grace and inspiration from nature. One of Cathy's clients was Carolina Eye, located in Southern Pines, NC. I loved her use of Pine-Straw in the glass dividers within the waiting areas. She likes to bring nature indoors and it works.

Coming from a true artist, I love that compliment, Mary Ann! Thanks so much!

Comment from Elephant Ears Design:
Thanks Rachael! We recently used your project on social media as it has so much "curb appeal". We love working with true artists like you and hope we can do some more yoga together soon! Thanks again for the nice compliment!

Ms. Maready and her firm,Elephant Ears, transformed my home to be both an elegant but livable space. . Cathy listened to what we wanted and gave us options to choose from while keeping us focused on our goal. Professional from start to finish and when the job was done you felt comfortable with her to either invite her into your beautiful living space for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Highly recommend both Cathy and her firm.

Comment from Elephant Ears Design:
Awww. Christina. You made my day. The best compliment of working with someone is becoming part of their "family". We loved working with you and creating your equestrian paradise. You have a dream home!!! Thank you so much for the great accolades!

Commented: what is the counter top and what is the back splash in this ?Thanks Mazum. The backsplash is an aggregate made with outer shells. Very durable. It is in the form of a tile. The countertop is a light granite. Very pretty:)

Commented: Hardwood floors for our farmhouse ?Hi Debbie, Yes, these are knotty pine. The home (this is a "before" photo) is located in Horse Country in NC where pine trees are quite common. No stain was added.

Commented: Please, what material was used for the countertop?Thank you so much for your kind words, kinanaco! The counter top is "Witch Hazel" by Corian. We love the soft texture and subtle color this solid surface provides in the space.

Commented: Are the oars "just" an accessory, or were they used? Pretty!Thank you for your question. They are reproductions of vintage oars. They can be purchased individually or as a set. For more information or to purchase, please contact us at eedecor@aol.com.

Commented: What is the wall color used?Thank you, Denise! The wall color that we used in there was Benjamin Moore Hollingsworth Green. Palladian Blue is another option that would have worked well in this room.
