Thank you a hundred times Over!! Who would have thought 2 offers at full asking price, but sold for $5,000 over asking price in Seven days!!! Your ideas were great and we learned so much from you. You have such talent and an eye for design. One of the best things working with you was you listened to our ideas and made them work with yours when possible. You were so patient with us and understood it's difficult to put some of the personal items away for a time. It was work to get everything together, but so worth it. Would we do it again? Yes, because you made a stressful time much easier and really enjoyable. Thanks again for all the talent you shared with us. We love the finished look and it goes without saying, so did a lot of people! -Russell & Karen, Rockford
Michele came into our home to stage one maybe two rooms, but with her keen decorating ideas we did six or seven rooms. All in about two days!! She worked with only the furniture I had, we only purchased items to hang on walls and accessories. We were extremely pleased with the outcome. Michele's efficient working style and great personality made her a pleasure to work with. She went way beyond her call of duty "staging" to help me in many other ways. Just an initial meeting with Michele and you will know; she knows how to turn a room from ordinary to tastefully elegant by "simply" moving furniture and adding accessories. I WILL definitely use Michele again in the future! THANK YOU MICHELE!!! -Jean, Belvidere, IL

When we contacted Michele to do our 2007 Parade home we weren't sure what to expect, but we were amazed by all she was able to accomplish. She is truely a talented, hard working individual. Needless to say, she will be doing our 2008 parade home as well. -Brad Zimmerman, Zimmerman Home Builders
