Cynthia Espy
Principal
I started my business as a fashion designer in 1988 with an eponymous line of hair accessories and jewelry, then fell in love with silk fabrics and produced a popular line of silk scarves. My best selling scarf invention, La Cravat™, was patented in the mid 90’s and sold all over the world.
In 2000, I started designing for the home with a line of Quote Pillows which sold in resorts and stores nationwide and received wide press attention. After adding custom draperies and bedding, I was asked to provide full service interior design and Amenities Home Design was born. In the 23 years since then, I have done over 60 residential design projects, along with over 500 paint consultations. My goal is to make Chicago beautiful, one home at a time!
