We've never worked with an interior decorator before, but after moving into a larger home we felt overwhelmed. I first saw Michele’s work while touring an open house. The rooms were so beautifully and functionally put together. After meeting Michele for the first time, we knew we could work with her. Not only is she unbelievably nice and down to earth, she has an amazing eye for color, pattern and proportion.
Michele takes pride in her work and it shows in every detail. She has great style herself, but carefully listens to what would fit best for you. She listened and understood my vision for my house better than I could’ve ever imagined. My budget was limited, so she didn’t push any big, expensive furniture. Instead of buying a new dresser for my son, she helped me repurpose an old dresser in storage. Michele also went around my house suggesting where to place my already existing furniture and artwork. Because I was working with a limited budget, I hired her as an hourly design consultant. It was great to ask her questions, as they came up, and get her design expertise by the hour.
The highlight of my time working with Michele was shopping at ABC Carpet and selecting a beautiful oriental rug for my living room. Before I worked with her, I had bought, on sale, very bright, geometric-patterned chairs for my living room. I found it impossible to find a rug that would coordinate with these crazy chairs. Michele came to my house, took pictures and measured the entire room. She then personally shopped with me to find just the right rug. I love how the living room looks now.
My only regret is not using her from the start of my decorating process. Hire Michele from the beginning, she will save you time and money. You're not going to find a nicer, more creative interior designer than Michele.
