After purchasing my loft I decided it needed a new look. I hired Andrea Michaelson design and it was the best experience I've ever had with a design and build firm. Andrea took charge and converted a single room loft into a work of art. From custom metal and leather walls, to a fabulous kitchen and bathroom. I have storage space galore due to the design and implementation of a wall system custom built and finished by professionals working with Andrea. Andrea had a sofa and two coffee tables she personally designed made to fit seamlessly into the living areas. My bathroom consists of a Japanese soaking tub, German made cabinets, custom marble sinks and vanities and a great two person shower. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and the professionalism displayed by Andrea Michaelson Design.
