She helped us redo our den, spruce up our living room, design an office, design a guest bedroom, installation of wood floors, update 3 bathrooms and redo a master bedroom! From the beginning, Margaret spent time understanding our ideas and connecting with our aesthetic. With each project, she brought fabric, furniture, wallpaper, and fixture suggestions/ideas. Once decisions were made, Margaret would ensure painters, electricians, builders, etc. were all coordinated. She did a good job of keeping us aware of the timing and the next steps! We would highly recommend Margaret to assist with large scale projects such as remodels and smaller scaler projects such as sprucing up a room. In either case, Margaret works as a partner in bringing a vision to life! **Comment from Margeaux Interiors - Margaret Skinner:** > Thank you for the kind words. it is always a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Nikki Little, Nov. 2023** > Margaret has helped with several projects in my house, including redesigning my master bathroom and finding new carpet, a rug and furniture for my basement. She's awesome to work with, a great communicator and has amazing design style. I highly recommend Margaret and will be hiring her for future design projects! **Comment from Margeaux Interiors - Margaret Skinner:** > Thank you, Nikki. It is a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — KC Zalesin, Sept. 2023** > Margaret has impeccable taste ! She transformed our house masterfully in a relatively short period of time with minimal disruption to our lives. > She was kind, helpful, pleasant and attentive to our our requests to boot. > We couldn’t be happier with her work! She is MOST highly recommended!!! > KCZ **Comment from Margeaux Interiors - Margaret Skinner:** > Thank you KC for the kind words. It has been a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — dazureus, April 2021** > Margaret was instrumental in the initial creation of our house, literally. After our first builder failed to deliver before the drywall phase, Margaret got us in contact with a builder she has worked with in the past, who saved our house. She was the sole interior designer for the entirety of our build (5000 sq.ft.) and provided invaluable insight, design, planning, and execution into every last detail. Her selections save so much time and eliminated selection paralysis. Often double checking the build quality of the sub contractors and serving as a second, heavy handed liaison with the builder, no detail was too small to escape her vision and any deviation from that vision was firmly voiced to the builder and subcontractors. > > We again hired her last year during the middle of the pandemic to complete the previously unfinished powder room and kitchen banquette area. We didn't finish it initially due to budget over runs from the first builder so we were excited to finally have it completed. Despite all the material supply delays and show room limitations, Margaret worked with suppliers to deliver an outstanding final product. She always distills our tangled design aesthetic down to easy to make decision. Her suggestions are often "no-brainers" since she so perfectly meets our ideas. Very easy to communicate with and very respectful of our home and safety, everyone she brings into the project perfectly matches her high work ethic. > > We have a handful of projects still to complete and we will undoubtable be calling upon Margaret again to complete them. **Comment from Margeaux Interiors - Margaret Skinner:** > Thank you so much! Always a pleasure working with you. Looking forward to future projects. **★★★★★ — mdesem, Oct. 2020** > After several years of making no headway on our own, my husband and I hired Margaret to help us with a large renovation project that included our kitchen, dining area, great room, master suite, second bath, powder room, entry, and staircase. During our first meeting we shared our vision and style and within a few weeks Margaret presented her ideas for the new layout that incorporated good function and flow throughout our home. Deciding on the finishes was just as easy and fun. For each room, Margaret picked out 3 to 4 options per finish which could be mixed and matched, all of which reflected our style. The end result was beautiful. We highly recommend Margaret. She is reliable, professional, patient, and a GREAT designer. > > Thank you Margaret! We enjoy our home every day and look forward to working with you on new projects in the future. **Comment from Margeaux Interiors - Margaret Skinner:** > Thank you Michelle. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — davejen1124, Aug. 2020** > We would highly recommend Margaret. She helped us with an entire first floor renovation including our kitchen, mudroom, 2 bathrooms, living room and office space. Margaret truly listened to what we were hoping to create and made the process enjoyable. She also delivered ideas within the budget and helped us prioritize our wish list. She is professional, timely, and extremely organized. We are thrilled with the outcome and would not hesitate to hire her again. **Comment from Margeaux Interiors - Margaret Skinner:** > Thank you for the review. It has been a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Christina Solomon Corey, April 2020** > I would highly recommend Margaret for multiple reasons. Her professionalism, timeliness and most of all, her creative vision. My husband and I were struggling for months on what we wanted our front entrance and living room to look like. After only meeting with Margaret once she came back with recommendations on not just the design but the materials. We liked everything she selected and are beyond happy with the results. In addition to her creativity, the contractors she hired were the most professional and skilled workers we have ever experienced. We plan to do more home renovations in the near future and will hire Margaret again because of the quality of her work and our overall experience from beginning to end. **Comment from Margeaux Interiors - Margaret Skinner:** > Thank you. It was a pleasure working with you. i look forward to working with you again. **★★★★★ — HU-815215663, Nov. 2019** > Margaret did an awesome job on our home. She completely transformed it into a place that we love coming home to and spending time in. She listened carefully to our requests and did a great job finding pieces that matched our style. We are so grateful that we found her and had the opportunity to work with her! **★★★★★ — Melanie Mandell, Aug. 2019** > We hired Margaret to help us with a first floor remodel including the extensive makeover of our kitchen and dining room. Margaret was a dream to work with. She always showed me various options for style and price and considered my tastes as well. Margaret was always quick to answer any questions and help problem solve as well. We love our updated space! **★★★★★ — Erich Voeffray, May 2019** > Designed 2 bathrooms, kitchen, family room. Great to work with and wonderful design work. Made project very easy by managing contractors with great attention to details **★★★★★ — Fran, Nov. 2018** > I hired Margaret to help with decorating our home as we went through various room renovations. > She was always punctual, prepared for our appointments and had awesome ideas. > Importantly, her thoughts and ideas reflected the styling type my husband & I prefer; > she listened to what we liked which is huge ! > I would absolutely call on Margaret for her help and expertise on any future projects we may have, > Further, I have recommended her to friends . **★★★★★ — Amy Rogers, Jan. 2018** > I've known Margaret from previous small projects that I had her help me with in the past. This latest project involved updating my kitchen, bathrooms, adding recess lighting and hard wood floors. She listened to me and incorporated all that I asked for. I absolutely love the colors, materials and design elements. I had no idea where to start and she guided me through the process, lessening my fears and made it a good experience. I love everything that was accomplished. She is professional, easy to talk to, easy to get a hold off, prompt with appointments and getting back to you on any concerns or questions that you bring up. > She referred me to a contractor that she has worked with and I was very happy with the builder and his tradesmen. Thank You Margaret for a beautiful updated home!!! ## Selected projects - [South Bham Mod](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-bham-mod-pj-vj~6424297) - Location: Birmingham, MI - Photos: 41 - Description: The mid-century modern kitchen renovation and basement renovation of the 1940's bungalow in Birmingham was completed in 2020 and 2023.The 150 sq foot kitchen may have been challenged on square footage, however, the new layout allowed for an effective flow, which incorporated an island with storage and seating that eliminated the need for a small crowded dining table.
