Transit Design

I have successfully designed and rehabbed many residential spaces. My last project was a rehab of a beach house that I gutted and remodeled in just over three months. While I pride myself in choosing every material and furnishing, I didn't have the luxury of time to ponder each choice this time. That's where Michael stepped in. Because I trust his opinions and sense of style implicitly, he became my yes man, helping me make quick decisions with confidence. We had a great time bouncing ideas off one another, shopping, and often laughing our way through. At the end of the project when the house was finished and furnished and I had to leave town, I left Michael in charge of the final details, something he is brilliant at. He worked his magic with finishing touches that turned the house into a cozy home. Michael was a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to give him carte blanche on my entire project!

If I could give Michael 10 stars, I would. Having worked with a few other decorators and designers in the past, there are few that seem to understand the word "budget." Michael was able to provide all work under budget and provide a cohesive, great look that exceeded our expectations. Drawing from his years of experience in graphic design, he was able to arrange the paintings, shop for and select the furniture, design the mantle, work on a schedule and pick the right piece for every spot from the rug to the lamps. We consider Michael a true professional and friend and will not change anything in the house without his input or advice. We love the look and feel of his work and would recommend him without reservation to anyone interested in a new look or a total transformation.

Michael Watt of Transit Design did an amazing job with our home. My husband and I prefer contemporary furnishings but we live in a traditional farmhouse. Somehow Michael managed to blend our preferences with our reality to create a beautiful, restful space. He not only recommended found the furnishings within our budget, he also helped arrange artwork and the accessories to give a look that is complete without being fussy. He also came back during the holidays to help with making our holiday home festive with just the right amount of changes and decorations. I would recommend him for any decorating job from small to a complete overhaul.

My experience with Transit Design was wonderful. Everything was done perfectly. They were very attentive to our needs and surpassed our expectations. I highly recommend them and will hire them again!

Some of my colleagues who have travelled extensively, told me about Transit Design's Bus Scrolls which detail several of the trips similar to ones they have taken. Upon reviewing the website and portfolio, I purchased a canvas art piece designed by Transit Design and was no less pleased when I saw it in person - just as fabulous as the bus scrolls. Transit Design's owner Michael, was conscientious about understanding my needs and desires and ensuring that the product I was receiving was going to hit the mark. I highly recommend browsing his portfolio and shop if not to buy, to be inspired by his work - it's incredibly fresh and personal, which isn't easy to do these days.

Michael Jon Watt brings impeccable taste, polished style and a wry sense of humor to all of his design work. His keen eye for color and texture, and gift for creating pieces that invoke both thought and pleasure are unmatched. He is also a master at blending old and new and reprurposing everyday objects into chic must-haves. Whether desgning works of art or meticulously crafting interior spaces (that appear deceptively effortless), his signature style sets him apart from all others. MJW is a true original.
