Interior Designer

You’re Home is the lifelong dream of owner, Cathy Carchidi. Cathy’s working career, spanning 20+ years, included time in human resources, law, and business management. Her career change came about as a result of a life-threatening illness, which caused her to seek her true calling.
Cathy had a mid-life “aha” moment when she realized that she needed to work in a more creative field. She attended New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk, and set about gaining experience in the design field. Today she has over 9 years of design experience, including stints at a Wellesley design firm specializing in custom window treatments and furniture and a management position overseeing a residential design department for a major furniture retailer. She has also designed and managed numerous kitchen and bath renovations. Cathy’s philosophy about interior design has been realized in her new business venture: keep it simple, give her clients gentle guidance, deliver what they ask for, and offer excellent service.
