Serenity In Design

I studied the art of dance from Patsy Swayze in Houston, YES, Patrick Swayze's mother. I taught tap, and ballet to preschool and high school students which included my own children at Jan Pierce School of Dance in The Woodlands, TX. While advancing other creative interest, I later managed a showroom at the Design Center in Houston TX with Scalamandre' Fabrics, further studied historical fabric and wallpaper reproduction in NY. Received my ASID in 1993. Practiced Residential and Commercial design in TX as Cynthia Thomas Interiors. Lead designer/Designers Showcase/Master Suite benefiting the Columbus GA symphony in 2005. I now manage "Serenity In Design", online design magazine promoting other creative designers, artists, design products, architects, and individual homes.

Feel free to visit my online design magazine for articles, photos and more about interior design.

my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

I got to where I am now with a natural talent and desire to decorate and design. I am now retired but still promote my love of design through my online design magazine.

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

I see myself differently now than I did 10 years ago because I am more mature, relaxed, know who I am yet with technology assisting us daily, I still love to learn as much as I can regularly. 

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see myself in 10 years being able to watch my grandchildren's progress in life, still enjoying my design, my gourmet cooking and trips to visit my sons in California and my daughter in Houston and generally being healty and have a stable loving life.
