What clients say...

The first redesign project was for our home on the Cape – which happened to be featured in New England Home Remodeler and Cape Cod Home Magazine after it was finished. More recently, we hired Casabella Interiors for our Beacon Hill home (circa 1840) —which was a daunting project because it was so outdated . It hadn’t been renovated since the 1970s! We did a large-scale renovation on the first two floors. Meeting with Michele at her shop and having her go through different layout options and product ideas was fun — she exudes positive energy and her enthusiasm is contagious! She did all the organizing and the footwork and took everything off our hands. Her professional contacts were fabulous and dependable.

Unlike other designers I’ve worked, Michele completes the job – when she’s done it’s like someone waved a magic wand over your home and you’re just amazed it could look so lovely.

She and Shannon are very detail oriented and do not miss a thing. They are a pleasure to work with. They helped us choose all the furnishings, flooring, drapes, lighting, and paint colors. When the project was complete, if was beautiful - down to area rugs on the floors, gorgeous lamps on the tables, and placemats on the table with matching napkins! If you’re looking for a beautiful, calming and finished look, I suggest you make contact with Casabella Interiors."

My husband and I wanted to transform our current bedroom and bathroom to a relaxing, beautiful master suite with additional closet space.

Michele’s design and execution surpassed our expectations. She and her team are fun to work with and made the entire process seem easy.

Everything was complete down to the accessories that make the room feel like home. We ended up with a master suite that has become our retreat and an oasis."

After we walked through the house together, I started to see it differently. I realized that if we fixed one room I would not be happy with some of the others. It’s a 5-bedroom, 5,000 square foot house so it went from a simple project to a very complex one. We wound up redecorating 10 rooms – everything from window treatments, rugs and furniture to paint, wallpaper and accessories.

I’ve worked with a few designers before, but what makes Michele different – beyond that she has a store — is that she is lickety-split fast. She is just on it. If she says she’s going to get the project done in three months she gets it done in 3 months.

She’s open to what you’re interested in. I’m one of those people who know what I like when I see it, but I’m not good at generating ideas. Michele and Shannon generated the ideas. I love the end result. She staged everything so when I walked into each room it was a surprise and a thrill to see. It’s hard to know which room I love best because all the rooms are beautiful. I have recommended Casabella and told people ‘You can trust them to do the right thing. You’ll definitely be happy."

Ans was pleasantly surprise by how beautiful, cozy and homey it was. I completely fell in love with it and Michele. Our personalities just clicked. So when my husband and I bought a brand new construction 3-bedroom Condo in Hingham, I immediately thought of her and her team.

The condo has an open floor plan—which is daunting because all the spaces need to look pulled together. So I hired Michele to do the whole first floor (kitchen, dining room, living room, and den) – including paint, drapes, and furnishings to pictures, accessories, lighting, and rugs. I don’t know what my style is but I know what I like when I see it. So at the beginning, I went through magazines and showed her what I like.

After that, she just had a gift of knowing what I’d love. She took the project under her wings so all the worries were on her. Michele made everything exciting, easy, and fun. I always looked forward to talking to her. She’s one of those people you just want to be around.

The best part of the whole project was the reveal. It was a masterpiece in the end. I got all choked up. The space is beautiful, soothing, and relaxing. It’s been a few years since the project, but I love to pop into her shop when I need something. She knows what will work in my space, and she’s always happy to give me advice."

We traveled to NYC and Boston looking for the anchor furniture pieces that would set the tone for our vision. We had a particular vibe in mind for the space and were not quite able to find the pieces until we stumbled across Casabella while driving to a meeting on Cape Cod.  The store was beautifully appointed and we immediately saw some furniture that would be a great fit for our vision.  Then we met Michele and Shannon. When we shared our concept they really listened to what we were trying to accomplish.  Not just the beauty, but the functionality as well.

Now that I think about it, the pieces that they selected were always the ones that our customers noticed - I think my favorite thing they found for us was the lighting.  Not only was it unique and beautiful but it really set the ambiance in the space.  There was one piece of furniture at Casabella that we loved--Michele redesigned it and had it built out as a wall unit that housed our server/POS system. It turned out fantastic!

There were so many times that Michele and her team drove up to the restaurant —which was over an hour away —with van loads of accessories and finishing touches for us to try out in the space. They did that again and again until we had everything we needed.

The restaurant was a huge undertaking and we worked with a lot of people  Most were very nice, but I would say working with Casabella was the best part of the project. Michele is a very talented lady--she not only has a passion for what she does but she really cares that you get what you want. Many designers don’t listen to what you want but Michele and Shannon heard us on vision, execution and budget.

To homeowners, I would say that in any type of design project there are so many decisions to make. The Casabella team will take the time to understand your vision, really listen to you, and in a non-forceful way take the burden off your plate. They’ll present you with the most amazing things – pieces you will love. Nothing they show you is mediocre. Needless to say, we now consider them our friends, and we’ve referred many people to Casabella."

The first time I went into her shop, I knew my wife would love it because it had that relaxed sophistication that we wanted for our home. When my wife did stop in to meet Michele, it turned out to be the beginning of a long-standing relationship. Michele has decorated two of our homes, and a business. Every time we’ve worked with Casabella, they completely blow our minds.  On our own, we could never imagine the ideas they come up.

The first project originally started out small, but when Michele came to our home as part of a design package, she opened our eyes to the possibilities of our space and we ultimately redid the entire house (lighting, paint scheme, furnishings, artwork, rugs, and accessories, etc.).

They conceptualized exactly what we wanted, and when it was done, it was beyond our wildest dreams.

Somehow Michele managed to make our 1,000 square foot house look a lot roomier – which turned out to be a big bonus when we sold that home. The redesign was a big investment, but we got it all back and more. A big part of that was because Michele and her team really transformed our home so each room was finished in its best light. We’re in a bigger home now, and we continue to work with Casabella. In fact, they just redid our master bedroom suite, which looks like something out of a magazine. Thankfully, Casabella handles everything so we never need to get involved in the grunt work like calling the electrician and coordinating with the painting crew and installers. There are a lot of designers who won’t do that.  It’s another reason why we never think twice about recommending them."
