We were so pleased to have the services of Cynthia Stewart for the conversion of our small porch to an all-season smoking room. We went for comfortable furniture so my husband would stay out there. We got that and more. Besides the furniture, she guided us to purchase our rug and wall colors. We got a lovely, comfortable space where my husband loves to be. Thank you Cynthia!
