She helped us choose wonderful paint colors for the new home we bought. She had great ideas about pieces of furniture we needed and did all the work of ordering them and getting them delivered to the house in a timely fashion.

She has an excellent understanding of color, scale, detail, placement, and architecture. I have worked with Michelle personally, and have seen the final outcomes of a number of her other projects as well. In each case, Michelle works with her client to develop a design plan that specifically suits her client's taste. For some clients, Michelle's work focuses on using items already in the home in new ways; a simple rearrangement of furnishings and accents can bring new life to a space. For others, she has consulted on everything from choosing paint colors to implementing a design plan for an entire home, including kitchen and bath. Michelle is very knowledgeable about home-related products and materials, and she has beautiful taste. Beyond this, Michelle is delightful to work with. She is extremely respectful of her clients and their homes, and she listens carefully to each client to ensure that a project meets or exceeds their expectations. Your project will never become 'hers.' I would highly recommend Michelle Jacoby. ## Selected projects - [Hutchinson Island Condo Redo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hutchinson-island-condo-redo-pj-vj~1072058) - Location: Ft.
