Candice Mathers is a Member of the ASID, having worked as a principal designer for over six years.

Additionally Candice has worked for an exclusive design-build firm, learning the various facets of building & designing high-end custom homes. By pouring over extensive plans with top interior designers, clarifying specifications to subcontractors, meeting with clients to confirm decisions, she received an extensive view of what's needed from all members contributing to large projects, for a successful finish to your custom interior design.

Testimonials From Previous Design Consultation Clients
Rona Seams- Chicago, IL
I found Candice online, liked her ideas form our initial consultation, and have enjoyed working with her ever since. She has done a wonderful job of redesigning my Lincoln Park loft with exposed brick, cedar beam ceilings, and terribly outdated stairs, bathrooms, bedrooms, floorings, and window treatments. Candice has done a phenomenal job of understanding my tastes and of recommending changes, managing the change in process, and providing the nice final touches to finish off my various spaces. She is a perfectionist, demands a job well done, and is a fantastic project manager. I highly recommend Candice.
Jennifer G- Palos Park, IL
Having built our home without the assistance of an interior designer, we learned the downfall of not having one from the get go the hard way. In 2005, when we were faced with tackling the only unfinished level of our home, we contacted Candice. The end result has been nothing short of spectacular. Candice suggested and implemented ideas that my husband and I could never have dreamed of. We've been working with Candice now for almost 2 years as projects have evolved, including 2 nurseries, finishing touches to our dining room and a complete overhaul of our main floor living room. Candice's eye for design has lent itself to cohesive spaces, mixed with beautiful custom furnishings and decorative touches. Everyone that enters our home now is blown away. Of course we're no exception. Thank you, Candice, for all that you have done to turn our house into a home.
George Kase - Winnetka, IL "As an architect and also having taught design at the University level, I feel especially qualified to sing the praises of CMR's capabilities. (or...Candices Mather's unique vision)When faced with reconsidering all of the interiors of my own newly redesigned home I sought out CMR who quickly offered a sensitive and intelligent scheme that complimented the architecture and accommodated my personality. Thanks Candice!"
Robert C. Parker - Naperville, IL "On behalf of Cindy & myself,thank you very much for the nice work on our condo on LaSalle Street. Cindy & the kids have visited on several occasions and not a weekend goes by that Cindy doesn't stop to reflect on what a great job you did helping me get settled in Chicago. You were able to acquire comfortable furnishings in a timely manner that I would have never been able to accomplish on my own. I wish you the very best & would be happy to work with you again!"
Alyna Chien - Chicago, IL "For initial consultation services, we have found you prompt and responsive. We find you easy to talk to, like that you have your own ideas, but also appreciated that you asked enough questions to understand our lifestyle and decoration sensibilities. I especially liked the way you evaluated our home upon it's existing positives, as well as it negatives. Lastly, it was refreshing to find someone working Friday afternoon as our schedules are crazy themselves!"
