In the middle of a renovation, I needed an interior designer's eye for choosing paint colors, and this delivered exactly that: professional, insider guidance made simple. She even shares her own technique, Color Ebbing, for softening a color so it works with your home's light. Beautifully done and genuinely fun to read. If you're agonizing over paint like I was, start here! **★★★★★ — Shanon Whaley, Nov. 2025** > I would highly recommend hiring One Coast for any of your design needs! > > Michelle and Melissa are incredibly talented, thoughtful, and professional. They helped bring our new custom-built home to life, assisting with everything from cabinet hardware, tile, paint colors, and lighting to furniture, wallpaper, artwork framing, and bedding. > > The process started with a detailed questionnaire and Pinterest boards so they could truly understand my style. When they presented the design boards, it felt like they had captured exactly what I had envisioned but could never have pulled together on my own. They were always open to my feedback and preferences, yet encouraged me to take a few bold leaps that made all the difference in the final look. > > Their weekly email updates kept everything on schedule and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Now that it’s complete, our family couldn’t be happier—the house feels straight out of a magazine, yet warm, inviting, and completely livable. It feels like us, just more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. > > We wouldn’t change a single thing about our home—and I’ll definitely be calling One Coast again for any future design needs. > > Thanks One Coast! > > The Whaleys **Comment from One Coast Design - Summerville, SC:** > Thank you!! We absolutely love working with y'all and your gorgeous home!! **★★★★★ — merioneast, Sept. 2024** > I absolutely love the final outcome after working with Michelle and the One Coast Design team. I appreciated all of their hard work from initial design concept to finish and couldn’t be happier with the results. It's so wonderful to come home to my gorgeous new, fully designed home! **Comment from One Coast Design - Summerville, SC:** > We love working with you, Jane!!! Thank you so much! **★★★★★ — Christina Henderson, Jan. 2023** > Michelle Wooley-Sauter is by far the most talented designer and artist I’ve worked with across several design projects. Her team is incredibly talented as well. I’m in homebuilding and have worked with many design pros both professionally and personally over the past 20 years and Michelle is by far in a league all her own. Michelle has a gift and is skilled in every aspect and at all stages of design. I worked with her and her team on architectural enhancements, space planning, furniture, window treatment, art, and accessory selection. Not only do I love my home and the finished space, the One Coast Design team is very customer-focused and consistently impressed me with the small touches they do that let clients know they’re appreciated. Whenever anyone asks me who I recommend for design and art, it has been and will be Michelle and the amazing team at One Coast Design. Thank you for a beautiful home! **★★★★★ — HU-957570411, April 2022** > We can't begin to tell you how excited and happy we are with the design choices and the ease of working with your team. The communication has been awesome! We love the designs and they're everything we asked for in our initial meeting! You listened to all of our needs and wants regarding colors we like and our unique design direction and created a coastal look that is one-of-a-kind and just for us. > > We will highly recommend One Coast Design. **Comment from One Coast Design - Summerville, SC:** > So wonderful to work with such great clients!!! Thank you!! **★★★★★ — HU-200614362, Jan. 2022** > My husband and I reached out to One Coast Design for a 2-hour consultation for design direction for a new home we had just purchased. Michelle, the owner, had so many amazing ideas for things we could do structurally and design-wise right out of the gate! Honestly, we didn't know where to start, we needed help and it was great to have a fresh set of eyes to point out things we might have missed! She was wonderful in how she explained what our timeline should be for certain phases of our project and gave us good feedback on the ideas we presented. Understanding how certain decisions would affect others down the road was a huge help to us! Michelle made the overwhelming process of designing our new home much more approachable and answers all our questions in a timely manner! We will continue to seek out Michelle's help as we tackle each new project in our home! **★★★★★ — HU-450178917, Oct. 2021** > We are so glad we reached out to One Coast Design! We were a bit nervous as to how it would work, but they immediately set us at ease, and by the end, we had so many excellent recommendations we will use in our kitchen reno! We highly recommend Michelle and her team! **★★★★★ — Carol Koenecke-Grant, July 2021** > I reached out to Michelle at One Coast Design right here in Summerville to help me freshen up the look of our historic Bed & Breakfast and she helped me so much! She moved artwork around and made some adjustments in the furniture layout and I couldn't believe what a difference it made! She even beautifully laid out a gallery wall of antique framed artwork for us, too...such a show-stopper! So worth the two-hour consult and wonderful to work with!

I did a 2-hour Consultation that led to me hiring her to help me complete the rooms I had already begun. I felt a bit stuck and Michelle gave me so many wonderful ideas and helped me select furniture and where to put it, colors, lighting, hardware, fabrics and the best of all, her artwork! She pulled everything together seamlessly and we couldn't be happier in our 'new' home! Highly recommend!' **Comment from One Coast Design - Summerville, SC:** > Thank you so much Carla!! We enjoyed working with you and your husband so much! You were a delight and so creative in your own right! I love working with wonderful clients like you that embrace the process and want your home to be the best it can be! Cheers to a great collaboration! **★★★★★ — Cesta Ford, Oct. 2019** > I met Michelle and her assistant Tabetha at the Charleston Home Show during a 'Meet the Designer' event and am so I glad I did! We hit it off right away! I booked a 2-hour consult and invited Michelle to come and see my home. She gave me so many fantastic ideas for design and color during her initial consult, I booked her for a day of 'one-on-one shopping' for furniture and decor! She and Tabetha arrived at our appointment with so many pieces of specifically selected artwork and decor items in tow for me to see in my spaces - I couldn't believe how amazing everything looked! We then purchased a few furniture pieces, lighting and decor to put the finishing touches on rooms I knew needed attention and Michelle hung all the artwork! I had a party that coming weekend and everyone who attended remarked on how beautiful my home was! Michelle and Tabetha truly amazed me...they stayed within my budget and my husband is thrilled with how our home looks now!! ## Selected projects - [Coastal Schumacher inspired Master Bathroom for a Queen!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-schumacher-inspired-master-bathroom-for-a-queen-pj-vj~7822885) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: A dreamy palm wallpaper in the most perfect warm taupe sets the scene in this custom primary bath, where every detail feels considered, curated, and completely one-of-a-kind.

Since a signature is required, I will be back at work so I cannot sign. Thank you. Susan A: Hi Susan - Houzz was having trouble relaying messgaes for a bit - did you get your picture from me??? SO sorry for the delay - you have a question for me? **Q: Wondering what the gold things are surrounding the lights?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Kelly! Thanks for your question! These light fixtures come with metal spires eminating from the frosted globe! They are from Global Views in Dallas! I just used they in another project, too - Gorg! :) Hope this helps! **Q: How much does this mirror cost? Where can I purchase one? Thanks.** *(in Photo Questions)* The Versailles Mirror has a 1 ½” beveled clear glass mirror and gold beaded filet has a very ornately carved exquisite gold frame and is able to hang horizontally or vertically. Additional Information: The process of painting on wood enables me to recreate the countenance of an ancient fresco. Using the wood’s grain as my canvas, I employ multiple hand layered painting technique. A: Hello - this mirror is $6900 and can be seen from our satellite store in Raleigh, NC. Ships to Continental US only. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. The photo does not do the piece justice...seeing it in person is worth the trip to Raleigh! :) **Q: hey -- how can we get this shipped to Hawaii?** *(in Product Questions)* A: Hello @markhed, we would need to crate and ship it to you! I would need your address in order to calculate the cost and time lines. Thank you for your interest! :) **Q: Are there more in this series??** *(in Product Questions)* A: I see you have beautiful pieces selected on your Houzz portfolio...you may like my new piece for your collection? :) It's an original on wood and very high gloss. Would love your feedback and have a great weekend! :) -Michelle **Q: paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the paint wall color? A: Hello! It's Benjamin Moore, 'Bleeker Beige' - I use it on a LOT of projects, it's extremely versatile and looks great with most warm wood floors! Hope this helps! :) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
