She was so responsive and was able to help me virtually create a playroom and nursery! She stayed within my budget and gave great suggestions and a beautiful design board. Thank you Michelle! **★★★★★ — Jaime, Sept. 2020** > Michelle was incredible to work with and nailed exactly what we wanted and needed -- within budget. She understands the needs of a family with young kids (read: comfortable + chic + durable + not too precious) and was clutch in helping me pull our new house together on all things aesthetics, a la guidance with paint colors, furniture, lighting, miscellaneous housewares / accents. She's also easy to be around and chat with, which made the project that much more enjoyable. Highly recommend working with her! **★★★★★ — Kate, Sept. 2020** > Michelle is awesome. She is so easy to work with, organized, creative and efficient. I highly recommend Michelle when you just don’t know where to start and you need someone who listens, pivots and designs a beautiful home! Can’t wait for our next project together. **★★★★★ — tobina1, Sept. 2020** > I first hired Michelle a few years ago when we welcomed our second child into our small 2 bedroom apartment. Our goal was to optimize space while brightening up several rooms with new decor (art, shelving, paint, etc). We were thrilled with her recommendations for large furniture pieces and also smaller decorative items. We are now working with Michelle a second time, now to fully design our new home!. > She is wonderful to work with - producing fabulous designs that we've. implemented top-to-bottom. Michelle has created beautiful rooms for us, all while being very responsive, open to feedback on designs and flexible in offering options across all price points! **★★★★★ — Donna Pace Photography, Sept. 2020** > Michelle has amazing taste and is so on top of where to find beautiful things for the home (I followed her IG account even when I didn’t have a project to work on) - I was so glad she was available when I needed help decorating a new room after a renovation. We initially worked virtually since we were under COVID lockdown, and with a few photos, a quick video and measurements that I sent her, she was able to come up with a few designs for me to choose from and everything worked perfectly in the space - I LOVE this room! Michelle had great options for the furniture, lighting and smaller details that make a huge impact, and she’s so sweet and easy to work with. I love her ideas and am so glad I have another room for her to style! **★★★★★ — meghanleelally, July 2020** > We used Michelle to design our children’s rooms and she was excellent! Very easy to work with, great ideas and reasonably priced! I still reference her Instagram for design ideas! We recently sold our condo and multiple people who came to see it commented on our children’s bedrooms! Some thought they were staged :) **★★★★★ — Jenna Willits, July 2020** > Michelle, designer of Girl on the Hudson helped transform my former entertainment room to a playroom that my 3 year old and her friends are obsessed with playing in! Dividing the room with 2 carpets, getting the perfect center table that very useful and functional. She made the layout seamless, warm, comfortable and clean! The baskets were a must that truly make me smile daily! She also designed my patio and it’s the most wonderful entertaining space! I get endless compliments and could not be happier. Michelle is SO easy to work with, helpful, and best of all stays within a budget, listens and makes your design dreams come true!! ## Selected projects - [Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bedrooms-pj-vj~6278737) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Living Rooms & Family Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-rooms-and-family-rooms-pj-vj~6278730) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Laundry Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laundry-rooms-pj-vj~6278757) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~6278752) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Dining Rooms & Breakfast Nooks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dining-rooms-and-breakfast-nooks-pj-vj~6278747) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Nurseries & Kids' Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nurseries-and-kids-rooms-pj-vj~6278719) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-decorators/girl-on-the-hudson-pfvwus-pf~1044216592) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
