We had never worked with a designer before, but we immediately saw the value in doing so: she solidified a vision for all of our "wish list" desires, she brought my husband and I onto the same page, and she was extremely respectful of budget and time. When I think about the time that Michelle saved my husband and I, I am so grateful that we found her! It felt great to have so much work done to the house, with confidence, knowing that we had an expert's set of eyes on everything. She is very well connected and facilitated project quotes, samples and much more. She's candid with her opinion while being respectful of your style and wishes. I can't recommend her enough - she is an absolute joy to work with! We look forward to many years of projects with Michelle. She is gem! **★★★★★ — Ron Prater, April 2017** > Our project was a remodel of a bedroom and associated bathroom, plus a guest bathroom. The bedroom, originally the master bedroom, had been divided into two smaller rooms, and the bathrooms were as originally constructed in 1968. The work involved a complete demo of the old bedroom interior and the two baths. Michelle was the interior designer. She helped us first with the overall concept: how we planned to use the rooms and how we wanted them to look. Michelle was very responsive to our tastes and reinforced what we were after. She did this by creating an accurate sketchup layout that was easily modified for different configurations and finishes. For example, where should a window be and how large? Questions like that were easily addressed by the model, which helped avoided expensive changes after construction had started. She also helped tremendously by exposing us to the large range of finishes—tile types and colors, for example—and then by helping us reduce that range to a manageable selection for consideration. She helped with coordinating the purchase of the plumbing parts, electrical parts, and the tile, as well as follow-up with the vendors when there was a delivery or installation issue. I had no idea so much was involved! > > Prior to the start of construction, she generated a binder for each room. Each binder included detailed drawings of the layout of that room, all the materials specified, switch locations, plumbing, and so on. The construction crew found these binders invaluable, and they helped greatly to avoid mistakes and to speed and smooth the construction. > > The construction lasted about 3 months, and throughout that time Michelle was instantly available whenever a question arose. Her responses to design issues were careful and well thought out. Many times she helped me to think something out more carefully—“Well, let’s talk this through”—and the remodel was improved on that basis. > > We highly recommend Michelle and her small group to anyone contemplating work like this. **Comment from InteriorEcho, LLC:** > Thank you for the kind words! It was an absolute pleasure working with you. We had a great time creating spaces that aesthetically suit your home's architecture and functionally work with your lifestyle. Enjoy your new rooms! **★★★★★ — kristinhelling, June 2016** > I have had a couple of negative experience's in working with designers and feel so lucky to have found Michelle. Michelle has a great eye for design and just as critical, listened to my ideas and really worked to understand my style. She asks great questions, let's you know the pros and cons of decisions you make, offers creative solutions to issues that arise and is always responsive. Her creativity is matched by her positive attitude and even when I was not able to get exactly what I wanted, due to budget constraints, Michelle was able to come up with a work around that is fantastic. I completely remodeled my home and could not have done it without Michelle. **Comment from InteriorEcho, LLC:** > It has been a pleasure working with you, Kristin! I am so excited for your family to enjoy your gorgeous new home. **★★★★★ — osiasfamily, Nov. 2014** > Michelle Strausbaugh with Reveal Studio was a delight to work with on > our total master bath remodel. Ms. Strausbaugh provided both aesthetic as well as functional designs to update our bathroom. She was excellent at interpreting, defining and creating our overall vision. > Ms. Strausbaugh worked extremely well with the general contractor and the various subcontractors. She was especially helpful in selecting all the plumbing fixtures, decorative hardware, lighting , stone and tile surfaces. > We could never have completed this project without her design guidance. > Ms. Strausbaugh's calm demeanor, work ethic and dedication to making sure all the work was done right made all the difference to us. **★★★★★ — hopemm1, Nov. 2014** > I have worked with Michelle on several projects and I would recommend her without hesitation. She has great design ideas, really works to understand her client's goals and needs, and respects the budget. I am certain that my projects were completed with better design, reduced cost and time to execute because of Michelle. In addition to great designs her Project Management services are fantastic. I am a busy professional who travels frequently. I guess you could say that I could not have done it without her! Plus, she has a great personality and makes the planning and execution fun! **★★★★★ — Laurie B, Oct. 2014** > Michelle is amazing. She designed the most beautiful kitchen, bath and bedroom I could ever imagine. I love my home and it is because of her. I will admit that I am probably the most difficult client to work with because I am a control freak and a perfectionist, but Michelle understands and overcompensates for my imperfections. Thank you so much, Michelle, for our beautiful space! xoxo ## Selected projects - [Cape Cod Inspired library and office, San Diego, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cape-cod-inspired-library-and-office-san-diego-ca-pj-vj~2007110) - Location: Encinitas, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: A busy finance exec /wife/mother wrote her first bestselling novels in a makeshift office at the entry to the home. She dreamed of transforming the family’s loft into a proper office space, and using the entry area as a cozy reading nook. On her office wish list was a large desktop to spread out research materials, a place for her two daughters to be with her watching TV or playing, and a door to close off the room when desired. For the library/reading nook, she imagined her girls sitting in a w… - [Beer Room with Secret Door to Chilled Storage, Coronado, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beer-room-with-secret-door-to-chilled-storage-coronado-ca-pj-vj~2027095) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 10 - [Modern Glam Downtown Condo, San Diego, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-glam-downtown-condo-san-diego-ca-pj-vj~2042569) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 25 - [Bath of the Year Winning Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bath-of-the-year-winning-remodel-pj-vj~348629) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 5 - Description: “It’s time!” the homeowner’s of a beautiful Point Loma home declared. They had remodeled their bathroom in the 90’s, and a recent water leak prompted them to get started on an update. They wanted something more contemporary but with natural elements and a neutral palette. They envisioned a shower wall of natural stone, so we started at the slab yard. I told them they have to absolutely love it since it would be the inspiration for the rest of the space. After several trips, they fell hard for th… - [Luxury Ocean View Home, Del Mar, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-ocean-view-home-del-mar-ca-pj-vj~748642) - Location: Del Mar, CA - Photos: 26 - [Master Suite Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-suite-remodel-pj-vj~348637) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 9 - [Award Winning Traditional Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/award-winning-traditional-bath-pj-vj~116995) - Location: Carlsbad, CA - Photos: 3 - Description: Judith and Paul dreamed of creating a sanctuary for themselves. The busy couple tended to spend minimal time in the master suite, rushing in the morning to get all family members where they need to be, and drained by the days’ activities by nighttime. They were looking forward to having a functional and beautiful space for their master bath. The existing bathroom was spacious, but the layout was not efficient for the home owners. The large tub placed diagonally in the corner used up a lot of rea… - [Walnut and White Unite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walnut-and-white-unite-pj-vj~6731400) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: A lovely young family recently relocated to new home. With its ocean views, large windows, and ample interior space, it was sure to be a wonderful home for this family of four. This active clan prepares healthy meals together, and sometimes eats on-the-go to activities, and sometimes gets to enjoy sitting down together. The new kitchen needed to function well, provide different preparation areas as well as easy access to drinks and snacks for the kids, keep the incredible storage, and add more i… - [Obsessed with Southwest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/obsessed-with-southwest-pj-vj~6420866) - Location: Encinitas, CA - Photos: 12 - [Laundry Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laundry-room-pj-vj~5550264) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: Often times the laundry room is located off the garage, making it the first space you encounter when you come home. If it’s a disheveled mess, it’s not a very warm welcome. This family was ready for a better entry. They had requested a place to organize the kids’ backpacks and shoes, counterspace to fold laundry, a charging station and a place for wet swimwear to drip dry. The transformed space includes a drying rack over the sink that slides into the cabinetry when not in use.

By removing the wall between the vanity and water closet, we created space for a chair’s turning radius. The husband is a master woodworker, and wanted to create his own cabinetry out of purpleheart wood and rift oak. We raised each end of the vanity to break up the long ex… - [Coastal Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-bath-pj-vj~5543550) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fireplaces-pj-vj~5550260) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Woe to Wow Master Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woe-to-wow-master-suite-pj-vj~5540163) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: Hello 1970s! This home, located in beautiful Point Loma, had great bones with vaulted wood ceilings and an Asian inspired feel. But to say the master suite was stuck in times gone by, is a little bit of an understatement. The bedroom had only a few pieces of mismatched furniture. Nightly, the blinking lights from the computers had to be covered with a sheet so that the couple could sleep. Its spacious bathroom came with challenges, including a lot of wasted floor space, dated wallpaper, no tub,… [See all 16 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/interiorecho-llc-pfvwus-pf~1258452078) ## Ideabooks - [Condo](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/126938760/list/condo) — 4 ideas - [Protacio](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/104314711/list/protacio) — 5 ideas - [Thompson/Michelet](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/96325086/list/thompson-michelet) — 5 ideas - [Park City](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57848760/list/park-city) — 3 ideas - [country French](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52861973/list/country-french) — 5 ideas - [bostrom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/48807346/list/bostrom) — 10 ideas - [Ortiz Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/34602703/list/ortiz-kitchen) — 15 ideas - [pro bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30528956/list/pro-bathroom) — 2 ideas - [Casey Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29495168/list/casey-fireplace) — 7 ideas - [kavanaugh](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/16107733/list/kavanaugh) — 8 ideas - [Karen Mazzola](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/17655310/list/karen-mazzola) — 15 ideas - [Swedbak](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15540803/list/swedbak) — 23 ideas [See all 12 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/michellestrausbaugh) ## Community Q&A **Q: Wall tile information** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I find that turquoise wavy tile?
