Honoring God with our homes means carefully stewarding our financial gifts, embracing hospitality, and loving well all who enter.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

—SHEILA Z.

"I was so fortunate to get to work with Michele! She was able to help with any issue that came up on our remodel and addition project. She kindly persuaded me to do some things differently and I'm so glad she did! She was very professional and prompt with every detail of the project. I would highly recommend Michele's help with your project!"

"Everything turned out beautifully and beyond what I envisioned."

—LINDA M.

"Michelle offered several perspectives and ideas from which to choose. It wasn’t hard to see that she was skilled, not to mention up-to-date in the field of design. This addition has altered my perception of my home, while all I really expected was more interior space. And you did this from hundreds of miles away! Amazing."

"Michele gave me a vision for something that was so much more than I expected."

—DANIELLE P.

"Michele helped my husband and I find furniture and decor for our new office. She was patient with our lack of knowledge about the process, mentioned factors that we never would have thought about and was very punctual when it came to communicating. We are excited to work on future projects with her!

"Michele made the design process feel so simple and exciting."

—JODI B.

"I was so blessed to work with Michele. My only regret was not finding her sooner in the construction process! Michele has amazing attention to the details and listened carefully to my vision. She helped us stay in budget and provided quality choices in materials. The building process felt so overwhelming with so many decisions but she helped tremendously in navigating. I would gladly work with Michele again on future projects.

"Michele truly made this home a show-stopper."

—lindsey v.

"From our very first meeting until the very end of our project Michele was wonderful. I was consistently thankful for her professionalism and great communication. She helped us stay focused on what we wanted from our home and took care of all the big and small details to get us there. I feel gratitude every time I see a pile of my kids’ friends’ shoes in our home because we’ve built a space that they all feel welcome and comfortable in. Every space feels not only functional, but beautiful."

"I’d choose Michele again and again."
