Michelle and her team did a wonderful job on our partial bathroom remodel. Our master bathroom had a very large garden tub and we asked her to design a bathroom that removed the tub, enlarged our shower, and blended in with our bathroom vanity, mirrors, and tile already on our walls around the vanity and toilet area. The result was a beautiful bathroom that blends both our traditional taste with a modern twist. The tile work she added was extensive and blended beautifully with what we already had. She was extremely responsive to any questions we had along the way. In addition, she came in under budget. We love our new bathroom!

We are thrilled with the end result of our kitchen remodel. I don’t know how she did it, but Michele was able to fit a nice sized pantry area and abundance of counter space and additional storage into the existing, very tight footprint The space is incredibly functional, and so much brighter. We also love the dry bar she was able to squeeze into our den. She handled every step and detail from demo to the final lighting installation and kept us well informed. This was critical since this is a second home and we could not be there much of the time. Highly recommend Michele and With a Twist. See the “after” photos next to one “before” view below.

We worked with Michele on a Master Bath, Powder Room and Entryway Foyer. Michele was fantastic, easy to work with and has great ideas. Our project stood out. We have since engaged with Michele to redo our kitchen and family room. Looking forward to seeing how this proect turns out!!

We needed to enlarge our kitchen area. Luckily we were able to bump out our dining area onto an existing deck. Michele helped us with the design and remodeling of our kitchen/dining area. She was easy to work with and offered great suggestions which allowed us to gain a much more functional kitchen. She also, provided us with qualified contractors and tradesmen. We highly recommend With-A-Twist for any kitchen/bath projects you have. The pictures provide a before and after look at our project.

Michele is wonderful to work with. She is a genius with kitchen cabinet design and creating major storage in small spaces. Michele is quick to respond and always adjusts her schedule to make time for a call or in personal meeting. We finished a major renovation (beach cottage taken down to the studs) together and throughout the entire process, Michele listended to my concerns, ideas and was keen to recommend solutions where I did not see the pathway forward. She has exquisite taste and will work within a budget, large or small. I look forward to working with Michele in the Fall on another major project!

I had a very extensive beach house renovation completed through With a Twist. Michele provided expert advice on materials, finishes and color selections and made a sometimes stressful process less so. Because of her excellent knowledge and impeccable taste, I was able to confidently make decisions and move the project forward. I also appreciated her responsiveness to my questions and prompt replies to my calls or texts. Guest reviews of our beach house include many compliments for the interior of our home. I highly recommend Michele and her team!

I found With a Twist on Houzz.com. I contacted Michele to design my main bathroom upstairs. It was a very dated, small space with limited options. Michele presented 4 different design options before we settled on the last one, which required a total gutting of the bathroom and adjacent closet and moving the plumbing. The bathroom Michele designed is a masterful use of very limited space. She had great ideas for adding some light to the dark room and was able to include my wishlist items. We even added a little built-in shelf for extra storage/display. I absolutely LOVE my new bathroom. It sparkles and shines and makes me smile every time I walk through the door. Thank you Michele for persevering with me to design and build a truly unique space.

We absolutely love working with Michele. Her attention to detail and eye for design makes the whole process run smoothly. She goes out of her way to make sure the homeowner gets their desired finishes and make sure each detail is executed flawlessly. We hope to get the opportunity to work with her again and would highly recommend to any client.

Michelle is an absolute pleasure to work with! Listened to our thoughts and created them before our eyes! She is wonderfully communicative, practical and fun to be around. Any issues were presented to us with solutions and she kept us informed of all progress or delays along the way. We adore our new kitchen and bath and couldn't be happier with her work!

Michelle was amazing to work with. Her creativity and problem-solving skills are a valuable asset. She was able to give me a high-end look while staying within my budget. I built a new home in Southern Shores. Her energy is contagious and much needed when going through the building process. She made it easy and kept the selections from becoming overwhelming. I highly recommend Michelle and With a Twist.

Working with this company was the best decison i made with the whole job. The project was building a new house frome the ground up. I was in construction fore 35 years and all of the framing and ground work was easy fore me. The problem was all of the decisions like colors kitchen bathroom flooring and every thing that makes a house a home. I had just lost my wife to cancer and this was her dream house. I was at a lost as what to do and was about to stop the job. I met with this company she listen to my problem and understood what i needed .From that day on the job went fine she step in made all the right decisions that my wife would have liked. The house came out great with the kitchen being the center peace. If you are looking fore somebody who really cares and has great taste this is the professional you need. With A Twist geets5 stars the owner and who you wil be working with gets 10 plus stars. PS you can tell by my spelling i dont do this reviews this is from my heart. Call her you wont regret it.

We worked with Michele on a kitchen renovation in our second home. As a result, much of our early communication was done long distace, yet, we never felt like we were out of the loop. Michele was able to look past the kitchen's existing footprint and create a design that was much more updated and functional. She was professional in every aspect of th e project and kept on schedule - often keeping others involved on schedule as well! When we had a hiccup with our counter tops, Michele was on top of it, working with the quartz rep to remedy the problem in a timely manner with as little inconvenience to us as possible. It was a complete pleasure to work with Michele.

After interviewing three other companies I hired Michelle of With A Twist. The other layouts were almost identical. Michelle came up with a design that offered a great use of space with an island and pantry cabinet. She had creative was to amp up the wow factor while staying in budget. The center island was a contrasting gray paint that she had the trim carpenter wrap in ship lap and paint to match the cabinets. I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with the creativity and hard work that went into this project. I have my dream kitchen and it was within my budget!!

Michelle helped me solve a problem I’d wrestled with for almost 10 years with the front entry on our home in OBX. Not only did she solve the issue but did so in a manner that blew me away esthetically. Her prices are very reasonable and she’s a pleasure to deal with.

I hired With a Twist to do a complete kitchen remodel and replace the flooring throughout my house. The owner provided very personal service in assisting me with choosing complimentary colors and styles all while keeping in mind the budget. All work was done on time, and within budget. I am an absentee owner so I was not there to oversee the project yet there were only a couple of minor touch ups needed when the project was completed. I was impressed with the attention to detail so everything was done right the very first time. I look forward to working with this company on my next project.

Michele was very helpful in helping us to settle on how to accomplish our flooring revision project. She organized the project well, found us very competent and professional tile technicians and, most importantly found a way to fit the project into our very tight schedule. We would highly recommend With a Twist to anyone.

Michele did a fabulous job combining the tastes of my husband and I for our master bath and mudroom remodel. She definitely lived up to the "With a Twist" name as she incorporated some fun design aspects like a winding pebble stone path through our mudroom to give it the bit of flair and interest it needed. Michele has earned my respect and future referrals from our real estate company.

My company has worked with Michele and With a Twist multiple times and each time I am impressed with her knowledge of products, creativity and willingness to make design ideas come alive. Not only is Michele a talented kitchen and bath designer, she is also very professional, timely in responses and able to move projects along with quick turnaround, if needed. The showroom at With a Twist is well stocked and a fantastic place to visit with clients. The lines carried by With a Twist offer options that are different from things seen time and time again around the Outer Banks. Every time my company works with With a Twist, I know that we are in good hands. I would recommend Michele and her company to anyone looking to build or renovate their kitchen, bath, laundry area or mudroom!

Not only do they do a great job from start to finish on your project their designs are new and fresh. So many of the kitchen and bath designers on the beach do the same thing time after time and every project they do looks the same. With a twist designs are done to fit your needs, wants and life style!!

I have worked with Michelle/With a Twist in the past on my personal kitchen, and am currently working on a new project with the company. She does a wonderful job and is very knowledgeable about cabinetry and design. She was able to take all of my wants and create a functional, beautiful design. I appreciate her creativity and ability to listen to what I want, making it a reality!

With A Twist Inc. designed the master bath remodel for my 1985 bathroom. The bathroom is most unusual in that my house is a modified hexagon, so there are no easy angles anywhere in the home. The access to the bathroom and master bedroom is through a common door, so the bath is open to the bedroom. The bathroom was dated (very large, unused jacuzzi tub) and needed to be completed gutted. With a Twist Inc. managed all the contractors for the job (electrician, plumber, tiler, drywall, painting, carpentry and trim work). The completed project more than met my expectations and was completed within budget. I am completely satisfied with the quality and style of the bathroom and will be using With a Twist Inc. for any future remodel project in my home. Photos can be seen on the Facebook page of With a Twist Inc. (see March 2015 timeline to find photos)
