“I worked with Christina Fratila to decorate our brand new beach house in Cinnamon Shore South, which was completed in November 2023. It was an incredible experience from start to finish and I cannot sing her praises loud enough! Christina was a delight to work with. She is friendly, extremely talented and always quick to respond. She did an amazing job staying within our budget. I had a general idea of the colors I wanted in the home and showed Christina some pictures of my ideas. She and her team truly went beyond my wildest dreams. She has a talent for mixing reasonably priced items with high end to ensure the home looks lovely, the furniture can take some wear and tear, and the client stays within their budget. Christina was a life saver on a few occasions when she noticed potential builder-related issues as the home was under construction. She advocates for her client and is very knowledgeable. The entire process could not have gone smoother.”

“We chose to work with Christina to design our brand new beach house in Cinnamon Shore. After an initial conversation about style, color preferences and budget, she had a clear vision of what the space was to become and we are completely in love. When I say she did everything, I mean she will handle EVERYTHING as she knows exactly what needs to be done. We had full confidence in her and her team throughout the entire process. She was honest, upfront, a clear communicator and decisive which we truly appreciated. She not only designs beautiful spaces with intent, she was a trusted resource that we came to depend on as we lived out of state. I fully recommend CF Designs and would not hesitate to use her talents again.”

"My husband and I worked with Christina in our beach house at Cinnamon Shores, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Christina is an incredible creative interior designer who not only brought all her expertise to find the right décor for our home; but her innovative approach to find the unique style for her customers made a difference.

We started with mood-boards and colors; and from there, she brought the magic into the decoration of every room, every wall, every space inside our house. Every time we go back to our beach house, we fall in love with it all over again.

She curated personalized designs, she brought with her not only the approach of a traditional designer who finds the item from what is out in the market, but she actually creates her own designs and brings them to life.

Our house has art pieces that were built by her, and unique items that makes the house a home.

In terms of her process, it couldn’t have been easier.  She did it all, we got a turn key house where everything was a piece of the magnificent design she created for us. We recommend her to anyone looking a unique and personalized to your needs approach.

"I was struggling with paint colors and decor to create a coastal feel in a dreary, dated building. Christina listened to what I wanted to create and we made it happen.
Painting everything white really lightened and opened up the space. Adding coastal accents with rattan and bamboo furnishings, natural fiber baskets, and neutral fiber rugs gave an immediate beachy feel to the natural hard wood floors and whitewashed walls. We painted the concrete porch floor and front door a beautiful teal, factored in green potted plants and colorful surf art and my new Pilates studio is my happy place!"

"Christina is an approachable, fun designer. Her style melds function and a soothing aesthetic. I love the way she made me feel at ease. I went from overwhelmed to a beautiful, function space in our home."
