Cynthia’s design studio is located in her home BannockBurn 1878. The stately stone home on seven acres is located in the pastoral countryside near the shores of Lake Huron. Cynthia finds herself most at home when surrounded by the things she adores; her charming country home, her husband Kent, their dashing dachshund Beau, Ty a large and loving Doberman and their horses Willow, Mac and Bayleigh. Their son Spencer and his wife Jenni also play a big part in their lives!
Cynthia has a deep routed love of history and antiques. She has developed a wonderful network for sourcing one-of-a-kind items for her clients homes and work spaces.
Cynthia envelopes herself with creativity daily. She draws inspiration from the many creative people in her life including her late uncle, one of Canada’s favourite painters, Peter Etril Snyder who inspired Cynthia to pursue a career in design.
In 2013 Cynthia and Pete began collaborating more seriously and in 2016 Pete decided to transferred the copyright to his complete portfolio to Cynthia. Sadly, Pete died in 2017. His influence on her remains a constant as does her dedication to continue sharing his work with the public through the Gallery Website http://www.snydergallery.com.
Along with interior design projects for clients, Cynthia also enjoys posting on Instagram where she often shares aspects of her work and lifestyle… Gargens, Entertaining, Design, DIY and personal stories all play a role.
In years past Cynthia also wrote blog posts. You can find the archived posts here. Her busy design schedule and increased list of daily tasks surrounding the care and feeding of a historic home led to her decision to step back a bit from blogging. You will see a post every once in awhile but she mostly shares on IG as it fits into her daily life more easily.
