About the Interior Design Service:
“We had never worked with an interior designer before, and had no idea what to expect…Michelle transformed an apartment unit into a home. It is amazing how well the studio has come together, and what a difference this makes on a daily basis for my sister. She is so proud of her new home and constantly wants to “show it off” to other people. The design layout simplifies my sister’s life… all of these design features have helped my sister adapt readily to this new environment.”

“We were moving my mother from upstate New York into a small studio apartment in a senior housing facility. Her move was successfully implemented in less than two months! My mother is thrilled with her new home. She has plenty of storage space, her apartment is cozy and welcoming, and she is always happy to invite people into her space…Your expertise in colors, lighting and furniture considerations for low vision clients was invaluable. Also, your attention to detail and subsequent follow-through were greatly appreciated.”

“I just love the bar for the kids’ art projects and for eating. My favorite thing is all the counter space for different cooking stations. I’ve had five cooks in the kitchen at once and managed nicely! People gather in the dining room at the bar and talk to me while cooking. The double sinks helped tremendously and everyone comments on the great floor.”

Michelle was able to clearly interpret our vision and implement plans to make this succeed for us. The color studies of the kitchen wood stains helped us personalize our kitchen in a unique yet sophisticated way.”
– The Professional, Parent, World Traveler
“I really would like to thank you for your design help (and lessons). You gave us the courage to branch out and choose a fireplace surround we normally wouldn’t have considered. It’s gorgeous and we love it! The lighting layout saved us considerable money from our original lighting plan. It has transformed the feeling of the room. We actually use the room rather then leave it as an over-sized hallway.”

I appreciated how she listened to our needs our needs and preferences and then educated us on lighting design, choosing a color palette for the whole house and space planning well suited to our family and lifestyle.”
