“We hired Michele to manage the renovation and interior design of our four bedroom duplex in Manhattan. It was a large project that involved the renovation of a kitchen and four bathrooms as well as structural changes such as adding doors and closets. Michele also managed the decorating aspect of the entire apartment. Michele was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her attitude and demeanor are lovely, her fees are fair and transparent, and most importantly, we felt that she truly got to know us, listened and anticipated our needs and desires in making her recommendations and selecting materials. Her taste is impeccable. She manages to deliver an absolutely stunning product while respecting budget considerations. Throughout the process, Michele consistently came up with ideas and suggestions based on what she observed about us, and she consistently nailed it. We have two small children, and we now have a gorgeous, sophisticated apartment that somehow manages to be child friendly at the same time because she chose materials that are both luxurious and durable. Michele has amazing contacts and was able to address every need via her network. The millwork in our home is positively stunning and completely custom, all designed by Michele. She gave each room in the house a unique personality while achieving cohesiveness and flow throughout our home. She also worked beautifully with our contractors and electrician. I would recommend Michele without hesitation!”

“We recently completed our project with Michele – the interior design of a 4-bedroom apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We are beyond thrilled with the results – Michele managed to create an incredibly elegant and sophisticated environment that is great for entertaining, while still being family-friendly, fun, and comfortable for my 3-year old twins. 

Michele carefully designed every aspect of our apartment – coming up with the optimal furniture placement that would maximize every square inch; selecting all furnishings, wall and floor coverings, window treatments, lighting, and décor; and designing custom built-ins that made our space completely functional. Many items in the apartment are either beautiful vintage pieces (Michele clearly has a great eye for sourcing truly perfect vintage items) or were custom-designed by Michele (including our amazing sectional sofa, bedside tables, and even a children’s table). She came up with room schemes that would make every space multi-functional –a vibrant playroom that doubles as a chic guest bedroom; a stunning home office that also works as my husband’s workout room; a sophisticated den off the living room that also works as a children’s art and reading space. The dining room, living room, and master bedroom have all elicited oohs and aaahs from our various guests these last couple of weeks. 

She also managed the very un-fun part of the design process – managing the contractor work, tracking deliveries and costs, and even managing our move-in – making the process as stress-free and enjoyable for me as possible. She is an excellent project manager – critical for a truly good designer. 

Not only does Michele have a terrific eye for design, she is such a pleasure to work with. She was completely attentive to my tastes and preferences, and I always felt it was a 100% collaborative process. She was very understanding of budgetary constraints on certain elements in the design, and seemed to always find solutions to the various challenges, big or small, that popped up in the course of the project. I could not imagine having accomplished a fraction of what was done without her help, and thanks to her, my family has an amazing home to enjoy, and my kids will be growing up in a beautiful family home.”

“I had originally worked another high end designer, whose plans were way over budget and not at all in line with my taste. I was introduced to Michele through a friend and felt so relieved to be working with someone that actually listened and offered solutions that I really loved and worked within my budget. I had very little time to focus on the apartment and could completely rely on Michele to oversee the project and with her help, we were able to move in on time.”

“I have nothing but raves for this most consummate of design professionals. We had a large ($500,000+) and complicated project that required coordination, efficiency and most of all vision given the number and nature of rooms that were encompassed, as well as the demands of family members of all ages and tastes. We returned to our home following an absence of a reasonable length to discover a magical transformation that delighted us all. We were impressed throughout the course of our project by Michele's design abilities, sourcing of materials and project management, including an impressive facility with all nature of contractors, who were uniformly responsive and happy to work for her. I look forward to engaging Michele in the near future to work on my next property, and a I recommend her firm without reservation.”

“I have a one-bedroom in Chelsea (Manhattan) that was in dire need of a makeover. Michele designed & oversaw a complete renovation which included new bamboo floors, moving walls, recessing the ceiling, and an entirely new kitchen & bathroom. The result is simply stunning. Michele took her time to learn about my style and then came up with wonderful suggestions for fabrics, finishes, furniture & hardware. I felt like the end product really reflected my own tastes, but her experience & knowledge brought it all together in a way I never could. Under her supervision, the contracting crew was also extremely neat & timely.”

“Michele worked with my husband and I to flawlessly execute on a renovation and interior design project. She was exceptionally professional, efficient and had a great eye for design. She helped us not only to work within our budget and design aesthetic but also to realize our dream home in Manhattan. We're amazingly happy with the result. I would highly recommend her!”

Riverside Drive 2

“The project was challenging in that Michele had to work within considerable restraints and had to marry two very different styles. She was professional and efficient, and she did what the best designers do: she gave me what I wanted and helped me figure out what that was, as well as pushing me a bit out of my comfort zone at times. The project was finished on time. At the end of it all, my husband and I were so pleased that we are contemplating another project with Michele and her team. (Her team was also phenomenal).”

Greenwich, CT

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Michele while we expanded our home and redecorated the interior of the house. I can only say positive things about her. We live outside of the city and Michele was extremely organized, reliable, and efficient when coming out of the city to work. She worked very well with our contractor to make sure the project was being done according to her plans. She came out every time with a tremendous amount of samples to look through and several options of furniture layouts and styles. We have a five bedroom, seven bath home and Michele managed to decorate it beautifully while keeping within our budget. She has a great eye for detail and the finished product is beautiful. I would highly recommend her!”
