Michelle McKoy Designs

We never could have completed our remodel project without Michelle! Very responsive every time we had a question or new idea. She was with us every step of the way and made it very easy for us. She makes sure she understands what you are trying to achieve and then guides you through the entire process. She is very reasonably priced and doesn't nickel and dime you along the way. She coordinated with the builder and all of the contractors to make sure everything was done timely and correctly. You will be amazed with the final results! I highly recommend using Michelle for any of your design needs!!!

I worked with Michelle on a whole-home interior renovation that included flooring, tile, appliances, paint and furnishings. She helped pull everything together into a cohesive look and was especially helpful in sourcing unique pieces and materials at reasonable prices. Michelle was mindful of my budget throughout the project and offered practical options without pushing unnecessary upgrades. I'm very happy with the results and appreciated her guidance along the way!

Michelle did a great job working with us to incorporate our ideas into the design. She brought up items we would never have thought of. Our kitchen and primary bathroom have been completely transformed and we love it. We would highly recommend using Michelle on your design project.

We enjoyed working with Michelle during our kitchen remodel and first floor renovation. She helped us with paint color selections, countertop guidance, kitchen remodel input, window treatment ideas, and lighting fixtures. Michelle is professional, quickly responsive, and priced fairly. She shared information on where to source everything we needed for our project. We highly recommend Michelle McKoy!

I had worked with Michelle before to update our exterior roof and paint colors. So when it came time for our kitchen renovation, I already knew she was the person for the job! What started as a kitchen reno morphed into an update of almost the entire main level! She listens to her clients and helps them achieve a design that is true to their own style while also being current and in good taste. With her help, we made a couple of design choices that really raised the "Wow Factor" and are unique to our home! Michelle has a group of qualified and trusted contractors and subs that she has worked with for many years. She has a good rapport with these people and is not afraid to be persistent with them to achieve the level of quality that she and her clients expect. During the construction process, she stopped by every day to check on the subs and to ensure that everyone was on the same page. We entertain a lot and everyone who has seen the renovation is just blown away with how she transformed a 25 year old Tuscan nightmare into a gorgeous main level full of mixed finishes and interesting features. I'm so proud of our home and so thankful for all of her help!

I have been in the industry for 17 years. During that time I have worked with countless “designers”. Michelle rises above the rest- she is kind, listens to the client, can do trendy, but always wants to find a style that will last. I love her honesty, she never oversells. Michelle is respected in the building community and her trades love her. She understands not only the “pretty”, but the intricate details that make everything work. I would highly recommend.

Michelle and I have worked together for many years on many projects. She is consistently at the top of her game. Michelle is extremely talented with design, decor and communication. You will always have her honest opinion on your project and she always works with her client’s best interest in mind.

I have worked with Michelle on several kitchens and bathroom design projects, and I couldn't be happier with the results. One of the things I appreciate most is her incredible versatility, she effortless moves between styles, from Country French to Urban, to Traditional, always bringing a fresh and sophisticated touch. Her taste is impeccable, and she has a rare ability to understand exactly what I envision, even when I am not quite sure how to express it. Every space she has worked on feels both beautifully designed and deeply personal. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer with both talent and intuition.

When we had an unexpected hiccup with our contractor before our scheduled kitchen renovation, Michelle stepped in to save the day. From the very first phone call I knew she was going to be amazing. Her communication skills are excellent, and she listens to and respects any personal ideas while offering her brilliant and creative opinion. Michelle has this excellent quality of being able to be honest and tough while maintaining kindness and integrity. She honors your money and helps you get the most out of your budget. Multiple times she saved us a great deal of money either by showing us how we can use what we have or add new with consignment pieces, etc. It truly felt as if she was on our side the entire process. Her crews were always delightful to have in the house, and she was always pleasant and fun to be around despite the chaos that is inevitable during a full kitchen renovation. When we had several major setbacks with both the renovation (uncovering previous issues we needed to deal with before proceeding) and personally (I was diagnosed with breast cancer during the reno), Michelle remained professional and calmly solved problems while more importantly being a rock-solid friend. She stepped in to help in so many unexpected ways and went the extra mile time and time again. She kept on the various crews to be timely, efficient, and precise while making sure we were completely pleased with the outcome. We appreciated her attention to every detail. Our new kitchen is truly gorgeous and so much more functional because of Michelle's gift of design and project management skills. We could not be more thrilled! In fact, we plan to use her for our full master bath renovation soon. We highly recommend Michelle to anyone wanting to create a beautiful space in their home.

I've worked with Michelle over the years with small projects, but when we decided to undertake a large home addition, I knew exactly who to call. Michelle is easy to work with and great with communication. She listens to what you want, and helps you design a home that reflects you, not what the designer wants, all within your budget. She has a talent for designing in a broad range of styles, whether it is transitional, mid-century modern, or my favorite, California coastal. Her eye for color is amazing, and her ability to help me think outside of the box on certain design elements really helped bring my home together in just the way I wanted it. I can't recommend her highly enough.

We chose Michelle to lead us through a kitchen renovation and we could not be happier! During the inital visit we clicked right away and knew we would be in good hands. She is a great listener, but also had many clever ideas to help us work with some of the "special" features of our existing layout. Making decisions is something I struggle with-this is where I feel like Michelle's skills really shine! She was so helpful with honest and thoughtful feedback during the selection process. We never felt pressured into a decision but somehow she managed to keep us on task! The process of selecting cabinetry, appliances, and all the "jewelry" like hardware and lighting was enjoyable and we are thrilled with how everything turned out. The subcontractors working with Michelle were excellent and we were always well informed of any schedule updates. It was easy to see that communication is a high priority for her and we truly appreciated that extra attention to keeping us in the loop! I would definitely recommend Michelle for any renovation or design needs. She is a truly exceptional designer and project manager!

Michelle did such an amazing job on the remodel of our Master Bath! She made the process so easy for me, who has a hard time clearly articulating my "style". She was able to modernize and update our room, while keeping it within my comfort zone. I always felt like she was listening to my desires and hesitations, moving me in the right direction, and never making me feel "less than" in my thoughts or that she was pushing her own agenda. The result is a room we absolutely love!! The workmanship is also spot on! I would work with Michelle again and again for any home design project!
