Michelle was very helpful in offering suggestions in drapery fabric and design while being sensitive to our budget. Custom draperies are not inexpensive! I would gladly recommend her services. Ended up being a better decision than going with a box store. ### All 55 reviews **★★★★★ — Lisa Butcher, April 2026** > Michelle is just beyond amazing. From our initial call I knew I had made the right decision selecting a designer for my new home. Michelle just has an eye for detail and my project came together beautifully and within budget. She worked with me on a whole home redesign as well as a master bedroom remodel. She took the time to understand my needs as well as what patterns, textures and colors I loved. Michelle literally transformed the space from boring and drab to luxurious and extraordinary - it feels like a sanctuary in there! Delivery and install went smoother than I could have imagined - truly a great experience from start to finish. I cannot wait to work with her again! **★★★★★ — HU-25015454897, Feb. 2026** > For more than two years, I struggled to choose a main paint color that would complement all of my adjoining spaces and felt completely stuck. I was nervous about hiring a designer, worried I’d be told to replace everything, but Michelle reassured me and helped me see the potential in what I already owned. I’m so glad I trusted Michelle. She selected a color that works seamlessly with my furnishings and transformed the feel of my home! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thanks Holly! Your home looks great. Thanks for trusting me. **★★★★★ — Raul Chavez, Oct. 2025** > Michelle (MJN Interiors) did a fantastic job in helping me with color coordination for my home. In addition, she provided services to select and install drapes, shades and a valance that were beautiful and professionally installed. Michelle was there with me during the entire install process. It has been truly a white glove service. I highly recommend her design services. > > Raul **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Raul. I’m glad I could help with the beautiful changes you are making to your home. **★★★★ — RSB, April 2025** > We just completed a two year project, our custom home. I needed help in interior design, I am clueless about that - I wanted to be sure that we did not make mistakes and that the feel of our home would be warm and welcoming with good flow and style. We hired Michelle (MJN & Associates) early in the process and she helped us every step of the way, from the time the architect was drawing up our plans until the builder received our Certificate of Occupancy. We relied on her to make suggestions about possible features and to assist in choosing the dozens of features in the house. Michelle took the lead when we chose colors and furniture. She was great to work with; she figured out quickly that the style we sought was sleek and simple in a coastal way, and she always suggested things to match the style we were seeking. The result has been stupendous, we could not be happier with our new home. Our best decision was to hire Michelle, we highly recommend her. She is professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Michelle will be sure that you are very happy with the finished project and that you make no mistakes along the way! **★★★★★ — Sharon White, March 2024** > After doing some online research, I spoke to Michelle and was immediately impressed. I needed to turn a small empty condo into a coastal oasis. She listened to my ideas, needs and concerns. She was collaborative and made the design process fun. I love the result and will recommend her to others. **★★★★★ — Charles Littleton, Oct. 2023** > Michelle was wonderful to work with. She has a good eye for color and blending different fabrics. She helped push me out of my comfort zone and I couldn’t be happier with the results. > She kept me informed through the process so there were no surprises. Her work was on time and on budget. I highly recommend Michelle, you won’t be disappointed. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Charles and Eileen. I enjoyed working with you and seeing the transformation of your living areas. I'm delighted that you are pleased. **★★★★★ — Amanda Sohn, July 2023** > Words can’t describe how amazing it was to work with Michelle. We recently bought the home we plan to raise the kids in and knew we wanted a fresh, clean slate with rooms and furniture that just flowed together. I am not a decorator and have no vision. I just knew what colors and patterns I liked. Michelle took that limited direction from me and created a masterpiece. The color scheme is perfect. The furniture is high quality and so comfortable. Every suggestion she made was spot on. We made classy updates to the kitchen and added seating. She helped turn limited master closet space into a more functional area. And my favorite space is our master bathroom that we completely gutted and remodeled. Michelle helped with the floor plan and design and it couldn’t be more perfect. I wish I had endless funds and endless space so I could keep doing projects with her. I’m already looking forward to our next one. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Amanda! We so enjoyed working with you. And we are so happy that you are pleased with the results. That, after all is our biggest goal. We love the selections you agreed to. Enjoy your new home!! **★★★★★ — Gina G, June 2023** > Michelle (MJN & Associates) was the BEST decision we made during our home remodel project. I was stressing over the many details and overwhelmed with the color selections and coordination of textures and flow from one room to the next. Michelle came in and simplified the entire process with ease. She was simply the quintessential professional who turned the stressful project into a fun adventure again. I cannot say enough positive things about her skills as a designer, her calm demeanor and her superior customer-service. She was always available to answer my questions, meet me for more shopping and material selections, and she never became frustrated if I changed my mind at any time. I honestly would never have been able to complete our project and end up with the beautiful, timeless interior that I now have had I not consulted Michelle. I am truly grateful for her knowledge, patience, and her design skills. I would highly recommend her for any project! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Gina. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. I love your new kitchen and I'm so glad you do too! **★★★★★ — Angela Kerns, March 2023** > Working with Michelle and her team was an enjoyable and stress free experience. I engaged Michelle for assistance with bringing style and cohesiveness to my living room, office, dining room and master bedroom. Through thoughtful furniture, draperies and custom pillows, my rooms have much more style and flow. I lacked the ideas and know how but Michelle put forth many great ideas and patterns to choose from where I just had to say yes or no. That was exactly what I needed and I am very happy with the end results. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Angela. You made it very easy. We loved working with you. I hope you are enjoying all your new rooms! **★★★★★ — gcovey, Oct. 2022** > After meeting Michelle on a project for one of my clients, I hired her to help me update several rooms in my own home. Although I was unsure of where to begin and not knowing exactly what I wanted, Michelle was able to help me transform my living room, dining room and the kid's playroom. She came to every meeting with enthusiasm and an abundance of ideas and suggestions to help guide me to the end result. Throughout the entire process she was patient and incredibly helpful as we navigated everything from the wall colors to the furniture and window treatments. I am thoroughly pleased with the overall experience and would highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — Brandy, Oct. 2022** > We moved into our new home in March 2022 and are gradually getting settled. This was our fist time working with Michelle but it will certainly not be the last. Her patience is beyond measurable! She was wonderful in offering her numerous resources to find us the best options for our needs and budget for our sunroom and family room. > She kept us informed of shipping and deliveries in this time of uncertainty in that department! Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with and did a wonderful job of guiding us through every step of the design process. We love both spaces and look forward to working with Michelle and MJN Associates on our future projects! **★★★★★ — HU-73278681, Aug. 2022** > Our home got hit by lightning in August of 2020, and burned down. We were devastated. Once we recovered enough to have a vision, we contacted Michelle. She was so compassionate, and such a great listener. She has made us feel like we’re important through all the emotional ups and downs of a rebuild after a fire. My husband and I each had our own priorities, and she was amazing at dealing with both of us individually, as well as handling us as a couple. We are both so incredibly happy with what we have now. The vision was real, and Michelle made it come to fruition. Her guidance was invaluable, and I’m sure we will do more business as time goes on. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful lady and her team. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Cayce and Tom, You both have been a joy to work with. Your new home is beautiful. I look forward to continuing working with you as you put on the finishing touches. **★★★★★ — HU-960889953, Dec. 2021** > Michelle brought her expertise and helped to see my vision for our reconfigured bedroom sitting area. Her ability to narrow choices truly helped make the decision-making stress-free. > Always on time, Michelle made sure our time together was productive without feeling rushed. I recommend Michelle for any decorating needs you may have! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you, Melinda. So glad we could bring your vision to life. Loved working with you! **★★★★★ — HU-618371213, Aug. 2021** > Would happily recommend Michelle. Her professionalism is second to none and her sources are great! Really enjoyed working with her. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Lara. We enjoyed working with you as well. **★★★★★ — HU-97219837, Feb. 2021** > First time working with Michelle Nettles and what a pleasure! Exceptionally efficient and deliberate, but never pushy-- always keeping us 'in the know' and making sure that we, as well as the client were well informed and that all went smoothly. As high-end installers, we have worked with many designers over the past 25 plus years--some very good and some so-so, with Michelle definitely being on the upper end of the scale. A most enjoyable work ethic, hopefully one that will be repeated with our company soon. Thank you, Michelle! > > Ken Raybin > Morray Enterprises > Custom Carpet and Stair Installation **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you so much for the words of praise. I'm sure we can arrange some future work together. **★★★★★ — jdbrenner, Jan. 2021** > Michelle is an amazing resource. From starting design concept to product selection, Michelle and team did an extraordinary job helping to turn our 1970s home into a showplace that was completely livable and an extension of me and my family. Michelle’s unique skill set of engineering and design skills helps her to master most any home challenge. Also, she is a real pleasure to work with and keeps budget in mind as well. I hope that I have the opportunity to work with her on my next project! > Danielle B. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thanks so much Danielle. I look forward to working with you on your new home. **★★★★★ — Angela Moreland, Dec. 2020** > Working with Michelle and Becca with MJN & Associates Interiors has been a true pleasure. Michelle is the ultimate professional, being honest, and up-front about the process for completing the interior design of our new home. She took the time to ask questions and get to know my preferences, which enabled her to very skillfully narrow down the countless options available in fabrics, furnishings, rugs, etc. to a manageable number of choices. Michelle and Becca took what would have been very overwhelming for someone like me (who previously had no experience with the world of professional interior design), and made it a fun and simplified process. Michelle was not overbearing or pushy with her guidance and recommendations- she presented options with her professional expertise to help me make the final choices; all recommendations she made were spot-on, and led to achieving the comfortable, warm, and welcoming environment that I originally wanted in our new home. Customer satisfaction is MJN & Associates’ ultimate concern, and I wholeheartedly recommend them! Thank you Michelle and Becca!! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > We so enjoyed working with you Angela! We are so pleased that you love the results. Thank you for your kind words. **★★★★★ — Stella Jacovides, Sept. 2020** > Michelle Nettles is a gifted designer . > As you spend important information gathering time with Michelle, she is able to discern the “look” and functionality that you desire . Her access to huge samples of fabrics and products allows her to sift through them and to present so many options to the client . All of this in the comfort of your home . She is reliable , honest and very pleasant to be with . > Our experience w/ Michelle was excellent and successful . I recommend her highly . **★★★★★ — Catherine King, Dec. 2019** > My husband found MJN & Associated while looking on Houzz and I’m so glad he did! Michelle designed our dining room, office and family room - from the furnishings to the paint colors, to the window treatments and area rugs. The rooms are absolutely beautiful and I’ve received many compliments. Working with Michelle was wonderful and I highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Farabaugh, Dec. 2019** > I reached out to Michelle when I was moving to the area because I knew I needed help and liked her work I saw on Houzz. I was so pleased that I did. She listened to what my husband and I wanted, was very conscious of our budget and style, and was honest and helpful. Additionally and very importantly, she was not pushy at all. We are overjoyed with what she helped us with. We highly recommend her and will definitely be seeking her help in the future. **★★★★★ — HU-221590727, Oct. 2019** > MJN & Assoc are very professional and friendly. > Michelle was very helpful and made suggestions and showed us fabrics for our widow treatments. > Our home looks beautiful and complete. Thank you Sheri and Jim Stofko **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Sheri and Jim. We enjoyed working with you both! **★★★★★ — Trevor Gray, Sept. 2019** > I wandered into the realm of interior decorating knowing absolutely nothing. I wasn't even really sure where to start. Fortunately, I stumbled across Michelle and Becca through Houzz and I could not be happier. Michelle and Becca are consummate professionals. They do a great job of communicating with you to determine your wants and needs. They show up on time for appointments and do not waste your time. Michelle has extensive knowledge of interior design and she does a wonderful job of presenting her ideas to you. As the project moved forward Michelle advised me of time frames for completion at each stage. Cost of the project was explained via proposals and Michelle was always ready to modify something if it didn't fit the budget. Now that the project is completed, I am extremely pleased. Michelle and Becca helped to transform my new beach home into the paradise I have always wanted. Thank you! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Trevor. We so enjoyed working with you and hope you can enjoy this beautiful new home for many years to come. **★★★★★ — Debra Courtney, March 2019** > Words cannot express how pleased I am with the professional services rendered by Michelle and her staff in bringing my vision for my new home to reality. Michelle was patient with all my questions, listened to what my desires were, and far exceeded my expectations of how my project would be handled and come to fruition. She is easy to work with and has a wonderfully warm personality which made my design process fun. She helped me marry my color choices with fabrics and furniture, which I was having extreme difficulty doing on my own. She was professional and prompt and her work was of the utmost quality. Everything was delivered on time, exactly when she said, and she handled every detail. From the hanging of window treatments and pictures, to furniture delivery and placement, she was in my home and took charge of the entire process. I didn't have to do a thing but watch my home unfold. It is a wonderful feeling to come home at night to my beautiful home that Michelle helped to create. Kudos to this incredible designer and her team of professionals! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thanks Debra. I so enjoyed working with you both. You said you had difficulty making decisions but you showed us otherwise. Your home is beautiful and we certainly would welcome the opportunity to work with you again soon. **★★★★★ — Kelly Moran, Nov. 2018** > MJN & Associates, headed by Michelle Nettles is one of the best Interior Design companies in the Hampton Roads area! Michelle was very intuitive, knowing what questions to ask and suggestions to make when I was struggling to figure out how to pull a room and idea together. She truly listens, comes up with suggestions, all the while keeping your budget in mind. Her work ethic is above reproach and she delivered an all around stress free and beautiful experience. I work in the real estate industry and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to friend and clients!! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thanks Kelly. You made some beautiful choices for your room and I always enjoy working with you! **★★★★★ — Courtney, Oct. 2018** > We have worked with Michelle on a couple of projects now and she is absolutely fabulous! Not only does she have gorgeous taste, she can just get stuff done! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to spruce up their home. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Courtney. You are great to work with and so knowledgeable about your product. I know I will always have a productive experience working with you. **★★★★★ — Holly Martin, May 2018** > We had a lovely experience working with Michelle at MJN & Associates Interiors. After living in our home for a few years, we had a few areas we just needed to finish. Michelle helped us select some custom window treatments for our kitchen, as well as several new pieces of furniture for our kitchen and master bedroom. She did a great job of incorporating some fresh, new additions into our existing color scheme and decor, and she made the process easy and efficient during a busy time of year (work-wise) for us. Our house finally feels finished (for now, anyway)! We highly recommend Michelle and her team and hope to work with her again. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Holly for the kind words. I enjoyed working with you both and am thrilled that you both are pleased. **★★★★★ — Gina Fratiani, Jan. 2018** > Michelle was awesome to work with, truly loves what she does and runs a top-notch business! Having just moved back to coastal VA last July after having lived in CO for almost 9 years, we had many challenges to overcome (besides the heat and humidity!) to make our new home livable and a reflection of our taste. First, our new “used” home had a great layout and many special qualities, but was done in a completely different aesthetic than what we wanted and needed some updates as well. Second, having sold all our furniture with our old home we had no comfortable aesthetically pleasing furniture. And lastly, we were stuck in “rustic mountain style aesthetics” mindset though we knew we wanted a home with a “colorful tropical coastal vibe” but had no idea how to achieve that—Michelle really helped us hone in on the look and feel we were wanting while also helping us stay well within our budget! From her initial survey, to in-home consultations, on-line collaborations, emails, texts, and phone calls, Michelle was always available and helped us come to a wonderful design plan to furnish, update and decorate our large open concept living/dining/kitchen! Michelle went above and beyond even delivering various furniture pieces as soon as they arrived vice waiting for the whole order, trying to help us get our home feeling like a home! Now, our home looks beautiful and inviting and is exactly what we wanted! We really enjoyed working with Michelle and highly recommend her and MJN & Associates Interiors! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Gina! I loved your willingness to go outside the box and to make your beautiful new home truly yours. **★★★★★ — Melissa Rice Schwitters, Jan. 2018** > We purchased a new home in East Beach and very quickly realized we needed a professional to help us achieve our goals. While we knew that we wanted our new home to be simple, warm, inviting and elegant, we weren't sure how to get there...especially given some quirky room configurations. We feel so lucky to have found Michelle and MJN & Associates!! Right from the start, we were very impressed with her extremely high standards of professionalism and knowledge. This project first started small, but once she completed my husband's space... and we were both so blown away, we decided to have her work her magic on the rest of the house. She was always timely, conscientious of our budget, and always produced high quality products. She made the process extremely smooth and simple. The end result is fabulous!! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you so much Melissa. You were so much fun to work with and so receptive to ideas. I'm glad I've made your East Beach house feel like home. **★★★★★ — Ken Stafford, Nov. 2017** > MJN, Michelle, was brought into my home to replace/update all window and sliding door coverings and bedding for the MBR. We agreed on options/pricing and Michelle and her team did a wonderful job. She offered options for wall paint throughout my home which coordinated nicely and supplied two side chairs for my LR. I was completely pleased with this engagement. Ken Stafford **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Ken! I was happy I could help. Best of luck and tons of happiness with your new endeavors. **★★★★★ — Amelia Schiff, Nov. 2017** > We are so pleased we chose Michelle to help us update our master bedroom. She did a wonderful job figuring out what our bedroom needed and what we wanted without us knowing what we wanted. She provided us with an array of color and fabric possibilities. By selecting a pleasing balance of colors and textures, Michelle created a sleek romantic bedroom for us. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Amelia. I enjoyed working with you both. I love your new updates and am so happy that you both are pleased. **★★★★★ — Lois Hensley, Oct. 2017** > Michelle, > You are a great representative for MJN & Associates Interiors. > We loved working with you. It was great to work with someone who could make our thoughts materialize. The coffee station turn out fabulous! The quality of the fabrics and the furniture is outstanding. Working with a Church schedule can be a challenge, Michelle worked great with delivery and setup We have only had positive feedback from all who have entered your building. A designer who has patience, understanding and communication skill, an A+. The change is stunning. **★★★★★ — Annette Jaffe Interiors, July 2017** > Michelle is gifted professional who brings high energy, exquisite taste and sound judgement to her interior design. She recently completed a project for us in downtown Norfolk and she did an absolutely wonderful job. Everything from her correspondence to her selections to installation and billing was done flawlessly. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Annette. You do beautiful work and I enjoyed being a part of it. **★★★★★ — Jackie Grice, June 2017** > I just really needed someone to come into my home and give me some clarity for a few spaces. What I received was so much more! Michelle was courteous, considerate and really took into consideration the things that I liked. She gave suggestions, while still allowing me to give my input on what I felt good about. The other amazing thing is that she has such an eye for creativity that she was able to look at spaces in my home and create entirely different looks by just moving a few pieces of furniture! She definitely has a gift for what she does and this caliber of talent can't be taught in books ! **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Jackie. I enjoyed working with you. Good luck with your event at the end of the month. **★★★★★ — Dyteya Lewis, May 2017** > I loved the work that this designer did for 2016 Homearama so I got her card. I recently downsized to a small living space in East Beach. Since I was accustomed to more space, I just could not find my bearings in my smaller space. I knew it was a long shot but I called MJN Interiors. I do not know what I was expecting but I can tell you what I was not expecting, and that is the warm, friendly owner-Designer Michele. I explained that I was in a situation where I was forced to downsize. She listened patiently, and I made an appointment to have her come out. I have one word the describe MJN & Associates: PHENOMENAL!!! Michele completely transformed my space by strategically placing the furniture that I had, and by adding a few accessories that I got from her. My place looked as though it had doubled in size; I was blown away! It was very elegant too. > What I appreciate most about Michele is that she treated me as though I was her highest paying client, and I know I was probably the lowest paying. I told her about my situation going in, and the maximum I had to spend. She was so very gracious and professional. She allowed me to keep my dignity. When she left not only did my place feel more like a home but I felt cared for and pampered. Michelle really gave my spirit a much needed boost. I would recommend MJN & Associates because not only are they super talented, they have heart. Thank you so very much. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Glad I could help Dyteya! I enjoyed working with you. **★★★★★ — Megan Shipplett, May 2017** > “Michelle has been my boss and mentor for years. I have had the honor of learning from Michelle since before I graduated design school. She has helped me learn the ins and outs of the design world in only a way that an amazing businesswoman can. Michelle not only excels in the design field, but has a background in teaching, giving her an edge when it comes to communicating with others. She is professional and courteous. Michelle has always been fully committed to her clients, completing projects beautifully and within budget. She has displayed the utmost respect for me, as well as others within the design community. I know Michelle will continue to be successful in the design community due to her customer service skills and knowledge in her field." **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thank you Megan. You were a gem to work with and set the standard for all those that follow. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors. **★★★★★ — Ivana Zelms, May 2017** > Michelle was fantastic to work with for our interior decorating project. She helped us figure out what we liked and didn't like and was patient with us throughout the whole process. She got me to come out of my comfort zone and select colors and fabrics I would not have picked out on my own. She turned my very plain and sterile downstairs into a warm and inviting home.

Michelle is very friendly and professional, and knew exactly what I was looking for. She was very prompt with our first appointment and assessed my window, and returned in a few days with samples and suggestions. I loved her designs and had a difficult time deciding between which design I wanted the most for my window. I was more than pleased with the end results.

I am so happy you are please with the results! **★★★★★ — dona1155, Dec. 2015** > MJN & Associates met with me about re-decorating my den. She had me fill out a questionnaire to narrow down my likes and dislikes; then came to my house with samples of the colors she assessed were of my liking. In no time we picked out fabrics for my new sofa, chairs and room size rug as well as tables and ottoman. On delivery day Michelle was there to make sure everything was positioned in the appropriate spot. Then off we went to look for artwork and accessories. For a week I kept walking into that room and feeling like pinch me because everything looked so beautiful! I would recommend Michelle Nettles to anyone who is looking to decorate their home. **Comment from MJN & Associates Interiors:** > Thanks Dona! I just love the colors we worked with!

Kass not only recommended Michelle, she practically insisted on her ... and it was truly the BEST piece of advice we could have received! > > We were so delighted with our family room transformation that in less than a year we decided to tackle our bedroom ... with Michelle's help, of course! We hired out part of the painting, did some ourselves, but we left the "heavy lifting" (i.e., window treatment design, accent furniture selection, etc.) to Michelle. I simply told Michelle how I wanted our bedroom to "feel" and once again Michelle hit the mark perfectly. My reaction was tears of joy and awe at the make-over. My husband said our furniture never looked more beautiful! > > Michelle is a true treasure! She's fantastic at her craft, talented, a great listener and one of the nicest people we know.

I have never been disappointed! Working with Michelle Nettles, the company's owner, was extremely easy, enjoyable and completely accomplished my design goals and wishes. Michelle listens to what you want and quickly picks-up on your style, likes and dislikes. Together we redesigned, furnished and decorated a family room, cozied-up a formal living room with the addition of a beautiful rug, and repurposed a finished basement with custom seating to create a bedroom and lounge for a returning college graduate! All of these projects have helped my home look beautiful and pulled-together. Michelle makes the sometimes daunting process of selecting colors and fabrics manageable and fun.
