"A Path of Her Life's Journey"
CNK INTERIOR WORKS
As I hear the sound of the wind and feel the breeze over my face, just taking the time to admire the creation of God. How magnificent it is viewing how every detail processed and created for His glory, is how I feel about design. Interior designing has always been a part of my life. As a little girl, I watched my mother as she decorated and witnessed everything; it always looked so beautiful and eloquent. Through the years of watching and acknowledging the detail and thought put into her decorating, her gift would eventually be transferred to me. Interior Design is something I envisioned doing as a hobby. I graduated from Mississippi Valley State University with a bachelor’s degree, and it has been a blessing and well used in my business. It was noticeable that I had interior design skills laying dormant inside me, and the skills had such great demands. So, one day I just started enjoying the beautification of designing while spending so much time in the atmosphere when assisting my mother with different projects. To my surprise, I was good at it. I just don’t know what happened or how to express it, I just became my mother. As I reflected over the years and thought about my earlier designs, which were good, but I noticed that I had evolved and the elegant, luxurious, and lavish styles that I saw in my mother’s work began to show up in my work. I am grateful that I sat under someone who had mastered the Art of Interior Design. I was blessed that I didn’t have to go to school to learn these skills. My entire life I sat under a much greater institution, which was Mother school of Design, and I must say, “She was a Master Teacher.” It was mastered in such a way I feel I inherited the gift; it is in my DNA.
While sharing my Interior Designs with my mother, it’s so funny, because now she tells me that I am better than her now. When she told me that, I felt like she transferred her anointing on to me. Because of my mother, each project I raise the bar, so she will know I respect, embrace and cherish her gift as well as use it to the fullest. Now when I design, it feels like I am looking through the eyes of my mother. CNK Interior Design is not new, it is a company that went through many challenges, practice and now has worth. This is a company that can guarantee the client will be pleased, and when the client is pleased that is when the project is completed.

Kingdom I can be. I want my work to speak for me, and my belief and faith in GOD to be remembered as my foundation to success. I am so humble that God chose me to carry such a wonderful gift. Thank you for trusting me with your assignment! I look forward to hearing from you soon.

"Hallmarks"
In the 30+ years that I have known Chiquita, she has truly been an asset in both my personal and professional life. I’ve been so fortunate to have her as a friend. Over 20 years ago, Chiquita displayed her amazing talents when she helped with the renovations of my aging mother’s home. Her attention to detail, knowledge and passion helped to create a space where my mom would be comfortable and able to age peacefully. She has been there for me and remained an amazing friend throughout the years. I will forever be grateful to her for being so selfless. In 2021, when I began to open my business as well as continue to work a full-time job, Chiquita worked tirelessly to help get my first Airbnb open in a timely manner. Her professionalism and superb decorating skills all came together to make my grand opening a success. Her skill set is the best in the business. Leveraging those skills will improve your personal or business space and allow you to maximize your potential.

Welcome to the journey of CNK Interior Works. I am the proud Mother of Chiquita N. Kingdom. Where do I begin, from the time she was my beautiful caring little girl she had an eye for beauty, staging, what looked right and how things flowed together. As she matured, I couldn't choose her attire without her adding in her own little flair. As I observed her staging, decorating and designing skills, I could see the birthing of an entrepreneur and a successful business owner on the horizon. I'm in awe of the inspirational process behind her authentic body of work. To see her transform old rooms, houses, yards and business spaces into something stylish, chic and luxurious is simply amazing. If you desire your home, landscape spruced up or your business to be converted into a serene place, then look no further. CNK Interior Works will bring your vision into reality while using unique styles of fashion expertise. I promise you will not regret calling to set up a consultation with CNK Interior Works!!!
