Gale Michaud Interiors

We worked with Gale on 2 homes and we are thrilled with the work on both projects. The first project was a rebuild and she helped from the beginning phase and saved us hours and hours of frustration by simplifying it down to just a few choices based on our style. She also was always available to meet the workers (tile guy, electrician, builder etc.) to make sure they understood exactly what was planned. The end result was quality products that looked amazing and installed perfectly. She is very knowledgable and professional, she made sure she understood our style and vision but also made suggestions based on her expertise and we always loved the end result. I would highly recommend her services!

I cannot speak highly enough of Gale and her team. I asked for their help in a full renovation of a waterfront residence. She did the most incredible job in creating a warm and welcoming place for friends and families to gather. While she brought so much creativity, wisdom and insight to the project, she did one better in actually listening to me and my family in all our wants and needs. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Gale helped me with updating my kitchen and family room. Her choices of fabrics, furniture and rugs were within my budget, and absolutely perfect. She completely understood the look I wanted, professionally presented several options of all the pieces and fabrics, and we were able to finalize the selections after only one meeting. Her suggestions of where to spend money on new items and re-finish existing pieces helped balance the project and keep it within budget, and the look was exactly what I had envisioned. Her special finishing touches were so appreciated, including one fabulous fun lamp that completed the family room. I loved working with her!

Gale was a delight to work with. She was prepared and organized through out the process. Timelines and prices were spelled out clearly in the proposal. Quality workmanship in the window treatments etc. Gale communicated promptly throug out the process. My house is beautiful now, thanks to Gale!!!

Working with Gale was a fun and effective experience! She helped me paln and implement the decorating process of my living and family room as well as coordinated the first floor paint and wallpaper scheme to create a balanced in flow in our home. She was very patitent which made her easy to work with. She was always accessible to answer questions in regards to fabrics and products. She was very familiar with products lines to work best within your budget to get the job done. I found her very useful in helping to decide upon floor plan options, furniture styles and fabric choices to fit our young families needs and lifestyles.

I have used Gale for all types of projects from a major home renovation, living room updates and purchases of single pieces of furniture or artwork. In each case, Gale took the time to understand our tastes and the goals for each renovation, ensuring that we were fully informed of our options, estimated time for completion and the costs. Her extensive experience with renovations, knowledge of potential resources and keen eye for color and texture are invaluable. She saved us from making costly mistakes and we loved the finished product in each case.

We hired Gale after we purchased a new home and needed help with decorating various rooms and adding to an existing kitchen. Gale listened to our wants and needs, and provided us with a variety of paint swatches, fabric samples, rug samples and kitchen plans in a very timely manner. She was very willing to bring us new samples when we changed our minds, as well. She worked with our small space and made it appear visually larger throughout. The kitchen cabinets and counter space were extremely limited when we moved in, but Gale drew up a plan to double everything, while actually making the kitchen feel bigger in the end. She used her expertise in every room of our house; including a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a nursery, kids playroom, two bathrooms and a screened-in porch, all while staying within our budget. Her professional experience and ability to visualize an end result, were instrumental to our successful partnership, and made us even more excited about our new home.

Gale embodies a kaleidoscope of talents. She listens to the needs of her clients adjusting the project to the financial ability of the client. She adds to the design not only her extraordinary sense of color but her sense of architectural design. Gales friendly nature is coupled with a prompt and business like approach to her clients. I found her to be the complete designer.

Gale has helped us transform the rooms in our home as well as assist us with several renovations. She helped us with the re-finishing of our basement, and many people have commented that it is the nicest basement they have seen. When we first started working with her, she took the time to understand our style and what we were looking for. We have been extremely happy with everything she has done and she has helped make our home an enjoyable and comfortable place where we truly enjoy spending our time.

I secured Gale's services for a number of projects in my home including bathroom renovation, drapery design, furniture layout for home staging and most recently interior design for my new home. Gale is a listener who is attentive to the needs of her client. She offers contemporary ideas and suggestions to enhance the design process. All work was completed in a timely fashion and I have been delighted with the finished product.

I have helped Gale keep a photographic record of her interior design work for over 20 years. I admire Gale as an artist and a person. Incredibly inventive, she creates amazing interiors across all design genres. At the same time, her intuitive personal skills ensure that she’s respected the client’s tastes, not just her own artistic vision. I know she does this because I've watched Gale interact with clients. It’s like watching two old friends catching up. I understand why people hire her to transform their living spaces—Gale really listens to their needs and wants, so clients trust her to translate their hopes and dreams into something wonderful. And she does, every time.

I am a Decorative Artist and have owned my business for 28 years. I work with designers in Boston, the South Shore and Cape Cod. I have known, and done projects for Gale, over a 15+ year period. It is always a pleasure. Gale is creative, knowledgable and listens to her clients. What I look for in working with my designers is their professionalism, their ability to communicate their ideas and our clients wishes and the trust in me to let me create specialty finishes that are unique. Gale is all this. As a sub contractor, I also value designers who pay promptly. I can always expect timely deposits for jobs and payments in full at the completion of our projects. We recently finished a smaller project together, but last years was sizable for a client of ours who had recently purchased a much larger house. They were wonderful repeat clients. The project included 3 rooms and even a turret! I look forward to continued work with Gale! Michele Meister www.Meisterarts,com
