TaLord Interior Design

Working with Michelle was an awesome experience. First, she is an incredibly pleasant person. Second, she knows her stuff and is compulsively attentive to detail. She has an amazing ability to translate my ideas and vision into concrete options, but also brings suggestions from her ideas and experience to improve the vision. I would recommend Michelle without reservation.

My wife and I wanted to use a specific oil painting that our daughter created and decorate our living room, entry and dinning room around it. We sort of knew the style we liked but really didn't know how to fit everything together. Michelle had great ideas and motivated us to get started and work through to completion. She found the right furniture options and accessories in the right fabrics and colors; always giving us a few options to reflect our own taste and style. She even gently served as a tie breaker when my wife and I had a difference of opinion. We are both extremely pleased with the results and some visitors have commented that our living room now looks like a showroom. Michelle is always open to suggestions, always on time for meetings and follows through on the details. I can't imagine how the process could have went any smoother. We are looking forward to using Michelle on our next project (a hallway bathroom).

I (Fresh Start Cabinetry) recently worked with Michelle on a bathroom remodel project. I found her to be a great communicator. The client we worked with is very happy with the outcome of their project. I'm certain Michelle's clients appreciate her straightforward business model of forwarding her designer discount directly to the client. It was very simple to work with her client this way. I would recommend TaLord Interior Design.

Michelle was amazing to work with. All my scattered design ideas did not faze her and she kept me on track and within budget. We sat on a lot of couches and looked at a lot of fabrics but Michelle never lost patience. The one room redo turned into the whole first floor makeover including kitchen. Michelle is so creative and knowledgeable I’ve found my forever interior designer!

Michelle did a great job of helping me get ideas out of my head and into real life. She flexed with all my random “what about this?” questions and steered me gently toward a lovely outcome. My bathroom is no longer a dark cave!

We can't say enough about our wonderful experience working with Michelle! We wanted to do a complete update of the lower level of our home, and we were overwhelmed at the thought and the decisions we would need to make. Michelle approached our project with confidence, reassurance, knowledge and the skills to make it all happen! And she does this with a sincere smile on her face! We couldn't be happier with how our rooms transformed and we are thoroughly enjoying the new spaces. Michelle has fantastic ideas and can help improve project outcomes drastically. She goes above and beyond to keep the projects organized and on track. Michelle has connections to unlimited sources and is very budget conscious to give you several options and solutions. She works with quality contractors and cares deeply that you are satisfied when a project is completed. Michelle's gift of getting to know her clients, their tastes, and visions will always ensure positive outcomes. We look forward to working with her again as we tackle more updating projects in the future! Thank you, Michelle, you're the best!!

Michele is creative, caring, professional, and goes above and beyond expectations. Because my mother had been abruptly moved to Michigan due to a health crisis, her apartment was both chaotic and empty. Enter Michele! She listened patiently to Mom’s dream for her apartment, measured her space, drew up a map, then ordered all the matching furniture that fit perfectly. She even sewed a pillow and curtain for a finishing touch. Michele made sure ever piece arrived and met expectations. Mom looks like a queen in her new room, which builds her confidence, organization, joy, and overall health. Michele honors her clients’ vision and gently guides them toward what will work in the space. Michele made an assisted living apartment have style and fend shui. I can’t say enough about the impact this has made on my relationship with Mom.

Gave a design consultation to my daughter and son-in-law for their anniversary. Michelle was very helpful and kept me informed of the process throughout, even though I am in Georgia and they are in Michigan. Totally recommend her!

It was a pleasure working with Michelle. She helped me do a "refresh" of our somewhat dated '80 lakehouse. Such a beautiful update! Michelle made the process easy . Michelle would send me various furniture and lighting products to pick from which a range of costs. She helped me with furniture placement . The kitchen update is amazing - painted cabinets, new backsplash and new lighting- even the older appliances look great. Michelle listened to me every step of the way. I will definitely reach out next project I do !

Michelle was a joy to work with. As a contractor some times designers try to run the show & make my job difficult to manage. That was not the case with Michelle as she is active with the selections & details of the project & takes much care with walking the customer through the process. When it comes to executing everything she lets the contractor do their job. I highly recommend her & look forward to our next project together.

I can't say enough good things about Michelle. I had never worked with an interior decorator before and didn't know what to expect. Michelle made it so easy and fun. She got to know us and the styles that would work best for our tastes. She always stayed within the budget that we set out and she was so very knowledgable about products, styles, and all the tricks of the trade. She was patient with us as we debated back and forth over small and large details. She was flexible with her time and her schedule and she was available when we had emergency questions. I will continue to consult with Michelle as we continue to do projects around the house. Decorating is not something we are good at and Michelle gave us the confidence we needed to make our selections. Finally, Michelle is so creative and she encouraged us to do different things from the latest fads so that our rooms would not look outdated quickly. I appreciated that so much and feel that the final look in our rooms is so much better than anything my husband and I could have come up with.

Michelle has been our go to person for decorating and design for quite some time now. Most recently, we purchased and rehabbed an old fieldstone one-room school house. Her insights on how to tastefully decorate with an "old school" theme, integrated with newer refreshed elements, were perfect. Plus, she is fun to work with!
