Michele Evans

Michele's award-winning work has appeared in major newspapers, lifestyle and design magazines and has been featured in Susan Sully's book "The Southern Cosmopolitan, Sophisticated Southern Style", Rizzoli, 2012.

A designer whose work reflects the New American Classic style—modern, crisp, and iconic—Michele creates luxurious and understated environments. Rooms are impeccably tailored and edited to showcase the softness of fabric, the texture of materials, and the architecture.

Michele's style features a masterly combination of classic elements such as cornices and columns with modern and contemporary elements and objects.Curated objects may include those by masters Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, and other icons of style.

Working in partnership with homeowners, she creates the perfect harmonious balance between the past and the present, the old and the new.

MICHELE EVANS DESIGN SERVICES

We begin with a consultation in your home, where the ground work is laid as we walk through your house and talk about what you like, what you don't like, and discuss everything from color to style. We provide analysis, options, and ideas for achieving your priorities and goals. Strategies for transformation may include creating from scratch, adding and editing to your collections, or both. We believe in strong partnerships between designer and client and will work with you to achieve the results you desire.

We can start in any room and work from there, or can develop a broad concept consisting of color, style, and best use of space. The is to create a flow that allows each room to remain unique while providing a smooth transition to the next. We will work together on a questionnaire that will help to define project goals, costs, likes, dislikes, and must-dos, and then will develop a realistic budget and will target resources that fit your unique profile.

Pricing depends on the scope of the project. Each home is unique and each requires certain tradesmen and craftsmen that are appropriate for your project. You will receive a comprehensive proposal from us that will include a timeline, budget, and scope of work. Smaller projects are billed hourly and larger projects are usually billed by the room.

We also offer DONE IN A DAY service which can be the answer for a graduation or holiday. It is an instant refresh for one room. We will come for a two hour site visit, take pictures, measure and discuss with you several options for what can be achieved in the room. We can pull furniture from other rooms or purchase items that we present to you for approval before the transformation. We will send a proposal which might include pillows, lamps, paintings, sculpture, tables, and flowers. Or it might be that everything we need is within the home and needs to be rearranged. Please contact us for pricing and details on this service.
