You’re in the Right Place!
I’m Michael
Online interior designer, space planning expert, and proud awkward house owner!
I’ve been helping stressed out homeowners who are frustrated with their awkward rooms and tricky layouts since 2009.
Before that, I made a heartbreaking design mistake with my first house. But, I’ve learned how to make the best use of all kinds of challenging rooms as a result.
That’s why I’m dedicated to helping you avoid similar unnecessary headaches.
