Q&A with CINDY BENNETT-MCCUNE – Designer
The person
Welcoming, witty and reliable, Cindy is a sought-after design partner but for most of her clients at the end of a project she is a new friend. She’s helpful and just a like a good friend will go above and beyond for you. Design partner + new BFF, what could be better?
The professional
Raised by a decorator that specialized in draperies and wallpaper, Cindy experienced the excitement of transforming spaces early in life. Her natural instincts for design and a professional career spanning 30 years provides an effortless and stress-free experience for her clients . She’ll simplify the project process for you. She’ll bring creative solutions to the table for challenges and above all else give you comfort through communication that your project is in good hands.
The Brunswick County resident
With the warmth of the people and weather, planting roots in Brunswick County was easy for Cindy. And, when she’s not designing spaces, Cindy can be found shopping at Callahan’s in Calabash, grabbing a quick bite at Burg-Dog Grill or an evening dinner at Oyster Rock. She (like most of us!) also has to get her sweet tooth fix and there’s no other choice than Sugar Confections Bakery in Shallotte.

Kitchen Design Spotlight: The Cook Project
The Cook Project
Buying a second home in Brunswick County often means buying for location and staying open to the need for renovation in order to create a space that supports your lifestyle.
The Cook Project forced Cindy to explore new options to overcome renovation challenges in order to support the Cook’s lifestyle. The project required designer creativity and this is exactly what Cindy loves to do.
Cindy’s Takeaway on the Project
“The Cook project was a favorite for the color combo and innovative ideas needed to make everything work!“

Sunset Beach Kitchen Spotlight
In this stunning kitchen transformation at Sunset Beach, homeowners collaborated with Designer Cindy to create a masterpiece of functionality and style. The space features Waypoint Cabinetry, perfectly complementing the Super White granite countertops. The use of this granite as a full countersplash truly sets this kitchen apart, making it not just a cooking area but a statement of exquisite design. Like a chef’s kiss, this kitchen is the epitome of perfection.
