Michele with Awaken Interiors has been amazing! She helped us with our color scheme for our new house and selecting flooring, window coverings and furniture. The result is beautiful. She has been great at helping us find items within our budget that still look great. Our project has been ongoing, and she's been available to answer my questions and provide advice quickly as I need it. I highly recommend her!

I was fortunate to meet Michele at a business club, and what a difference knowing her has made this year! I asked Michele if she could help me re-purpose the furniture I've been living with (uncomfortably) for almost 20 years. I wanted to find better placement for it and get help with colors (because I also have a paint color on the walls I don't like, but for budget reasons haven't changed since moving in 3 years ago).
Michele graciously agreed to help, and has been super flexible about how we could work together and very generous with her advice and talents. My husband had worked with a designer years ago, so the only model he knew was a decorator who needed $50,000 to buy stuff. Not so with Michele.
After getting her design plans, I've been able to make massive changes to how the space is used and how it looks without breaking the bank. I've taken the lead on finding and buying "missing pieces" but Michele always is happy to give her feedback before I choose. I've re-purposed 95% of the stuff I had, which was my husband's , and while it was all very expensive it has never been my taste or sized right for me or the houses we've had since he bought it. This is one of Michele's strengths. She isn't trying to decorate a museum or a space for a magazine photo op; she is very tuned into how you actually use the space and getting maximum comfort. And being able to take the pieces if you need to move.
Everyone who comes over is amazed, as I have been , at the difference putting pieces in their proper spaces makes. Living in a townhouse, I could only ever envision one placement/layout, but Michele came up with 6-8 that works great. The best part is so much of the square footage was under used or not used at all. Having unused space felt so wasteful to me, and much of the house felt like "dead space". Now, I feel so happy because every room has a purpose, looks lovely, and is being highly used. We also had a lot of nice art that was not properly presented, and now the new arrangements Michele advised have made the collection look terrific and really beautify the spaces.
Michele nailed how to furnish and use a very difficult, narrow loft area. It is now my husband's office. He loves it, and I love that he is not working in my main space and spreading his papers about. Michele also figured out how to blend our two very different styles (he likes masculine, traditional, heavy leather and antiques ; I like Shabby Chic and white French Provincial). I had thought that would be hopeless without starting over with all brand new, which I couldn't do.
On top of these great results, MIchele is a perfectly lovely , gracious, and generous person. She is truly a joy, and great to work with. Thank you, Michele!

Michele with Awaken Interiors has the ability to visualize exactly what each room/ house/ space needs to reach its own potential. At the same time she listens and incorporates the clients desires into design planning.
Our latest project was returning an 1880's 3 unit apartment dwelling to a rehabilitated single family house. The exterior of the house is restored. The interior , completely furnished, now sparkles. The paint colors, drapery and fabrics are traditional but not stuffy. The lower level has industrial feel but blends with the main and upper floors. Michele meets deadlines and budgets while working cooperatively with suppliers. I could not have done this project without Michele's expert advice.

We look forward to the current project and those to come.

Michele turned each room in our home into a beautiful, cozy, naturally warm and inviting space to live in. She always was timely, precise, organized and beyond professional, yet so down to earth and pleasant to be around. Having the opportunity to work with Michele in collaborating and bringing my vision to a reality was a pure blessing. She goes above and beyond to take your inspirations mixed with your personality to bring your masterpiece to life. She works hard at each job, but wants to get to know each client on a personal level as well so she can really formulate the best outcome for each project. Not only does she take what each client wants into perspective, but she also uses her knowledge and expertise to optimize the best possible solution for each and every aspect of completing a room or project. Nothing ever gets left unfinished when it comes to detail. She always adds the final finishing touches until a room is absolutely perfect and flawless.
I will continue only using Michele for any future projects because she always seems to amaze me and inspire me with her ability to transform a room into a pure work of art.
