**★★★★★ — Stephanie Newcomb, April 2019**

> Kevin and his team are PHENOMENAL! Their attention to detail was fantastic, and after sending them a lot of pictures of what I liked for a bathroom remodel, they understood my taste and visualized what I wish I could on my own. I was nervous at first as many reviews showcased gigantic remodels, but they understood my scope and budget and worked with it without pressuring me to give more money. I would use them again and highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Joyce L, Oct. 2017**

> I used Kevin Michael Interiors for my recent kitchen renovation, new floors & lighting throughout my family’s lake home, as well as a new sunroom addition.  To say I’m thoroughly impressed would not do him justice. Kevin listened to what we needed out of these rooms and executed it all flawlessly.
>
> Wonderful eye for detail, prompt and pleasant service, not to mention he made it so much fun - you can’t go wrong with this guy!

**★★★★★ — Chandra Hines, July 2017**

> Kevin is professional, knowledgeable,  and works within the set budget. Kevin stays true to his word and makes every effort to stay on task and schedule.

**★★★★★ — Amanda, Feb. 2017**

> AMAZING. Kevin was involved in our entire design process for a new layout for the kitchen. His design was so beautiful that we went ahead and had him design the wet bar for the study and our bathroom vanities. I am amazed at how much detail that he puts into every bit of his designs. He is wonderful to work with. Very professional and always available whenever I had questions. He was a huge help in picking out tile and flooring. With all of the possibilities that are available, I needed someone to step in and narrow the choices down and to guide me in in making selections. He got to know me and listened to my likes and dislikes, and steered me toward options that would match my style and the style of my home! We will definitely be using him more in the upcoming weeks to help pick out color pallets and finish our remodel.

**★★★★★ — Green Line Homes, LLC, Sept. 2016**

> I have had the pleasure of working along side of Kevin for many kitchen and bath design projects.  He has a meticulous eye for details which shows in every aspect of each project.  Kevin stays up to date on the latest trends and it shows from concept until last detail.

**★★★★★ — Elizabeth Murray, Sept. 2016**

> Could not be more pleased with everything.  Kevin did a wonderful job listening to my ideas, sharing his and keeping the character of my home in mind.  I have a 1920's craftsman home with beautiful woodwork.  He updated my kitchen, bathroom and added an en suite to the master.  Kevin has a keen idea for detail and it is definitely magical to see your visions come alive.

- [Master Bath - Ski Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-ski-retreat-pj-vj~6367080)
  - Location: Vail, Colorado
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: This Vail, CO project focused on reviving a dated master bath for our client’s vacation home. The goal was to provide husband and wife with a retreat where they could wind down after a long day on the slopes. There was one main takeaway from our initial consultation - a love of Scandinavian design meant that form and function were truly equal priorities. To bring an atmosphere of clean elegance, we included unique custom sinks with stone inserts, a solid surface soaking tub and a cut rock shower…
- [Lake House Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-house-retreat-pj-vj~2742367)
  - Location: Littleton, NC
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: This lake house project was designed with purpose - during our initial interview with the homeowners, we discussed two priorites. One, the need to withstand friends, family and pets all summer long - and two, the desire to renovate the kitchen and not have to do it again for a very long time. Tasked with the challenge of “durable and timeless”, we got to work creating a space that would be the center of the home for a lifetime of summers. Our first priority was to create enough space to house th…

  - Description: This exciting project was a collaboration with another local designer - we came together to work on this 20,000 sq ft. home. With three kitchens and multiple bathrooms, the designer brought us in to plan and design the custom cabinetry for the kitchens and bathrooms.

  - Location: Durham, North Carolina
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: When it comes to working with couples, "compromise" is a keyword found in many of our emails. With this kitchen and master bath remodel, however, our husband-and-wife clients couldn't have been more in sync. They each came with a task at hand and neither had any interest in swaying the other - truly a dream project! She wanted to open up the kitchen and expand storage into the breakfast nook. He wanted a bathroom built around comfort and organization. Our in-house cabinetry design was the star i…

## Community Q&A

**Q: New home. Need ideas how to decorate.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

New home. Need ideas how to furnish and decorate entry/living room
. Starting fresh, so open to any colors/suggestions. Thanks.

A: Hi Marie, 
Congratulations on the new home purchase!!! While there is certainly a lot to consider when designing the entire space, starting with your flooring (as your re. above) is the best! My only caveat to this would be consider your kitchen, first. Depending on what you intend to do with the space, installing the flooring there at the same time is best - less quarter round molding/trim needed which translates to a cleaner look and less maint.
For flooring - personally,  there is NOTHING I love more than a piano black stain; however, every dark finish will show dirt and debris...every bit of if, no matter what. If pets or children are a factor, this may not be the best fit. This all depends on lifestyle needs! 
In my opinion, there is never a better option or a more neutral base than a light oak floor. Of course this can go warmer or lighter depending on the intended feel. However, oak, specifically light oak, is timeless and a good base for any design. This will lend itself to future design trends/changes as your taste changes. This is also a benefit should you ever consider to sell the home. 
It works with traditional, modern, contemporary, rustic, EVERYTHING!!! 
I do recommend on holding off for paint. Too many other large ticket items to select first, and then the paint which is the least expensive part. You want to make sure everything works for the intended aesthetic of the room!
Hope this project is filled with lots of memories and fun days ahead! 
If we can ever be of assistance, please feel free to reach out! We offer virtual design packages and complimentary kitchen design services (full transparency - some restrictions apply - reach out if you’d like to know more). We’d be happy to help! 
Best,
Kevin

**Q: Horrible quartzite installation** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We have had quartzite in several homes and have never had a problem. We chose quartz on the kitchen counters and quartzite for the island slab, called Adamantium. The quartz looks good although they made it 2.5 inches thick and we asked for the counters to be 1.2 - 2 inches and 3 inches on the island. When I questioned that the counters looked too thick, the owner said, "they would not have looked good any smaller" Well, we knew what we wanted...The real issue came the next day when they installed the beautiful quartzite. I have never seen edges look so bad, all along all sides.  Our fabricator installer in a different home we had in another state saw the pics and knew immediately what the problem was. Can you see the issue's? When I questioned the owner, he said it was the material, and stone is finicky. I just can't accept this. Would love some advice.
Thank you -

A: Hi Sue, 
So sorry to see/hear of this installation issue you’ve experienced. It seems to be a two-fold issue...first being the fabricator clearly not listening to the desired design and making sweeping decisions without approval - not acceptable. To add insult to injury, the quality of the edge treatment done on the stone is far from acceptable. While it is true some stones can chip, this is hardly ever the case upon delivery to the site unless the stone was improperly handled. There are countless other Houzz users that have selected quartzite showcasing a quality edge treatment.

I’d personally work with the shop owner for a remedy, and if no luck, discuss it with your financial institution utilized to purchase the countertops. Perhaps begin with consulting with another fabrication for a “repair” assment... Assuming keeping the stone.  If this were a project I worked on, I would have rejected the material at time of installation or held final payment for the work.

**Q: Kitchen help!!!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We just had new granite countertops installed and they ended up so far from what we had thought they would be. The color is Blue Flowers (AKA Blue Galaxy and Blue Flower) and they came out so much more creamy/yellow than we expected. Now we feel like we just spend thousands of dollars on something that totally killed what we were working towards. We have cool blues throughout our house and that’s why we went with this granite that has some blue/gray “flowers” in it. Does anyone have ideas for how we could work these counters in a little better? They just look so warm and yellowy against the bright white cabinetry. Would you paint the lower cabinets and island a different color? Please help us with any ideas or suggestions you have!!

A: I love Flo’s recommendation of Rhinestone. I think this is a good contender.

The attached is a perfect example of how warmth does not blend well with a cooler white.  The photo showcases Rhinestone on the walls and there is a cooler white cabinet in the background for re. The beige/tans are out of place and perfectly illustrate competing undertones.

**Q: Can you help with furniture selection please?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

This room has always been a challenge to me. The couch and chair are old and just barely hanging on. The coffee table is something I picked up at an antique store years ago. We spend all of our time in this room (yep, the tv is here). There is not enough room for a sofa and love seat (they overlap depth wise), but I’d like enough seating for 4 people to be comfortable. Do I get a sectional or would that be nuts? That couch corner is a favorite coffee drinking/reading spot,and I’m afraid a sectional would just be frustrating. It is not an eat in kitchen, but the table and chairs are used everyday. I used to have an even bigger table, but it just felt crowded. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have decision paralysis.
On a side note, thank you to all of you who are sheltering in place as we all should be. As a RN, I implore all of us to do our part so we can get through this. Work is scary, so I’m decorating to relieve my stress :). Thanks for your help and wash those hands!

A: Hi Jake, 
To start -  thank YOU for your efforts during these times. You and your colleagues play a crucial roll in our recovery and we are all very grateful!
Regarding the design dilemma - would you be able to share what’s on the wall opposite of the window? It looks like it may be a fireplace?  Based on the limited view, my initial thought was a small sectional with a chaise (possibly detached for variable seating options). Something with a low-profile arm (re. Photo attached) would be best to minimize intrusion into the space both perspectively and physically.  Without knowing what’s on the  other side, I’d (currently) opt for the ottoman placement to be on the right when standing in front of this. 
Additionally, this would allow for the removal of the chair, or replacement - space permitting. 
For the table, unfortunately, the thickness of the base, darker wood tone, and solid top and pedestal all play into the heavier appearance. If feasible, I’d vote for swapping this out for a glass top which would improve the visual in the tighter area by reducing the bulk of this potion of the room. If not a fan of glass, a lighter or more delicate pedestal would be the second best option! 
Last but not least, a small rug for the living area to match the new seating will help pull the area together, provide a “landing” spot to anchor the coffee table and better define the areas. This is very important for helping the flow of the room and should improve the overall feel. 
Of course, when it comes to options, selections are endless but there are great features on the HOUZZ app; especially the 3-D space planner. If the current pieces are throwing the visual and getting in the way, these can always be slid out of the way to try out a few pieces virtually. 
I certainly hope some of this is helpful! These are a few of many options, but i feel these few points will help and improve overall!

**Q: Sherwin Williams Paint finish for bathroom?** *(in Paint)*

I need to pick a Sherwin Williams paint type and finish for master bath remodel.  I don't love shiny paint surfaces and generally pick an eggshell/satin finish when painting other rooms.  Contractor recommended I use semi-gloss in the bathroom.  That sheen hasn't ever been my favorite, but I don't want to make a foolish decision that I will regret later. ( I am painting primed pine shiplap and sheetrock.)  Do I "need" to go with semi-gloss, or is a good quality paint in eggshell acceptable?  And what type of SW paint do you generally prefer for bathrooms?

A: @katinparadise - I completely agree!! :)

**Q: could you please provide details about the countertop.** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi Sally,

With limitless stone options on the market now it would be near impossible to say what this exact material is! I've recently come across Polar Stone by recommendation of a colleague. I've found their quartz product offers a very realistic marble like veining with the desired properties of a quartz. There are many patterns to choose as they specialize in marble patterns, and of course no concerns that one would have from using a natural marble. 

Hope this is of some help!
