Located in Danville, Kentucky, it is the second oldest interior design firm in Central Kentucky. In the beginning, Joe's wife Frances answered the phones and kept the appointment book, and his brother-in-law Richard Caldwell was the installer and kept the firm's books. Eventually, his daughter Mary Cynthia joined the firm, then bought it in 1995. In 2024 Mary Cynthia moved the workroom/business to 1107 Russell Cave Road in Paris Kentucky and updated the Firms name to Mary Cynthia Martin Designs.
