'I felt a bit stuck and Michelle gave me so many wonderful ideas! She helped me select furniture and decide where to put it, colors, lighting, hardware, fabrics and the best of all, her artwork! She pulled everything together seamlessly and we couldn't be happier in our 'new' home! Highly recommend!'

- Carla, Isle of Palms, Charleston

'I booked the initial consult with Michelle and she gave me so many ideas! Then I booked her for a day of 'one-on-one shopping' for furniture and decor! We purchased a few furniture pieces, lighting and decor to put the finishing touches on rooms I knew needed attention! Everyone who comes over now tells me how beautiful my home is! Michelle stayed within my budget and my husband is thrilled with how our home looks now!

- Cesta F., Charleston, SC

'I had been searching for a unique piece of artwork to give as a gift to my husband. It needed to be of a certain size, theme, and feel, so Michelle painted a beautiful custom piece for me along with her superb framing, as well. It was important to me that she add her own personality and touch to the piece, which she did, as that was what drew me to her work from the start. My husband loves it. Thank you for a great experience and a wonderful piece of art!'

- Carol A., Raleigh, NC

'Since we wouldn't be moving into our new home for several months and lived 1000 miles away, I didn't think it would be possible to get our new home furnished and decorated the way I "envisioned". Michelle was able to take my cryptic descriptions and produced a home that felt like home the moment I saw it several months later. Her attention to detail is incredible! Her ability to place the right furniture pieces that fit perfectly and made each room look spacious was amazing. Sometimes I have to pinch myself that I live here! Very, very pleased and would have her work on all my projects...no matter where they are located!'

'Michelle has been helping me with my Kitchen Design. She is so wonderful to work with. We are working across the country, basically doing eDesign and it has been so much fun! Michelle is intuitive and really knows how to work with our colors and spaces.'

If you want a design that feels pulled together and beautifully finished...

you need someone who has expertise in color.

An interior designer with an extensive background as a professional artist, Michelle Woolley Sauter is also a color expert who specializes in dynamic spaces where modern and traditional play off of each other to create unique design solutions that feel one of a kind. By combining layers of both old and new, her spaces come together organically in a stylish and exciting, yet livable way. Because, at the end of the day, people want to live in something beautiful, and it has to belong to the client, first and foremost. Michelle draws inspiration from her many years spent living on the coast up and down the Eastern Seaboard, in addition to finding inspiration from her travels with her husband and their Mini Goldendoodle named Charleston (aka “Charlie”)!
