CYS Design

Michaeline has been a pleasure to work with since day one. At our inicial meeting/interview, she spent over an hour getting to know me and my project (which I loved bc many designers I interviewed did not take this much time or wanted to charge). I have loved working with Michaeline since her date of hire in October 2017. She is professional, patient, outgoing and very responsive- no matter where she is.
As my project winds down, the relationship she builds with her clients, makes you want to think of another project to continue the relationship (which I’m sure it will continue once we done). She truly is awesome! More...

Michaeline is a breath of fresh air! She is extremely personable and knowledgeable on current trends and available options. Michaeline listened to all feedback about our family's lifestyle and what we were trying to achieve with decorating, furniture and window treatments. We had her back many times and she really made our house become our "home". We incorporated a very large addition to our house and she immediately put the contractors at ease, discussing the project goals, making everything cohesive, and generally keeping things on budget and on time. She is timely, accurate with pricing and her installers were all professional and pleasant to work with. We highly recommend her for all your design and decorating needs! More...

I loved working with CYS Design - it was effortless, effective and fun! They respected my vision but completely elevated it and exceeded my expectations. (one example is I knew I wanted a clean, modern drum pendant and they installed 2 at different heights, it's so stunning!) They turned an entryway and bathroom into the 2 most buzzed about spaces in my commercial studio. I would work with them again in a NY minute! More...

CYS designed our bedroom and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Every time I walk into the room I am blown away by the job that Michaeline did. She created a sophisticated, elegant and comfortable space staying within the budget we'd discussed and staying true to my initial ideas for the room. She was knowledgeable, professional and friendly and I loved all of her ideas.

CYS found and coordinated the subcontractors, all of whom were friendly and professional.

We also asked Michaeline to give a quick update to our guest room and dining room. She did just that and more with a few simple, but dramatic changes.

We are thrilled with our new rooms! More...

We love Michaeline and her crew! They entered my house while my daughter was at school and I was at work. She accomplished a complete redo of my daughter's room by the end of the day, It went from a toddler's room to a "big" girls room. She had made new window treatments and bed coverings, covered the chair pad and coordinated lamps, rugs, wall hangings, rearranged the furniture. The whole works. It was like a fairy tale come true for my daughter who had wished and it was done so beautifully. More...

Create Your Space Design helped me with a kitchen redesign that entailed a complete demolition of my old kitchen and renovation of 80% of my first floor. I had been struggling with the idea of this project for many years and when I connected with Michaeline she took all the "struggle" out of it! She takes you through the process in a knowledgeable and caring way. Step by step decisions are made with guidance that allows your taste, input and consideration of cost. We love our new kitchen, powder room and first floor redesign! More...

CYS redecorated our 12 year old daughter's bedroom. The room is fun and energetic, a perfect compliment to our daughter. Michaeline worked with our daughter, asking her opinion on fabrics and colors.

Designed and redecorated a sunroom, which is used primarilly for watching TV by young teengars. The budget was fairly low, so Michaeline made few changes, but they had significant impact. She also shopped with me at stores like Home Goods to buy nice items at good prices. She suggested refinishing the wood floors and painting, which were simple to do, not too expensive, and were major visual enhancements. The room is long and narrow, which is challenging to arrange funriture, so she suggested that we primarilly provide seating in the room, rather than clutter it with too many decoarative items. She helped me to find a gently used modular couch which is so comfy. The room was not only a big hit with the teenagers, but also with my husand and myself. Michaeline turned a dated 'kids room' into a room to be enjoyed by the entire family. Including the dogs! More...

I hired Michaeline after we completed a major renovation on our home. The house went from having many small rooms to a large, open floor plan. She helped us to blend the spaces while still using the furniture that we had. She incorporated new drapes, some new rugs, new paint colors and accessories. The space came together beautifully! I have since recommended her to many of my friends and clients. She is easy and pleasant to work with and understands what the clients needs are. More...

I had CYS come in to make my house a home. Michaeline has such a way with creating the perfect space. Whether it was decorating my home for the holidays or redoing our powder room she got it right every time. Most recently she redid my living room. She completely transformed the space.

We were moving to new home from out of state and wanted to update a few areas of the home prior to moving in. Our realtor recommended Michaeline and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Michaeline at CYS did a fantastic job helping me select flooring, carpet, lighting, window treatments, and paint colors quickly and managed the installation and work process flawlessly for me. This was a huge relief given that we were living out of state and wanted the work complete prior to moving in. The businesses and contractors that she works with did a beautiful job. Since moving in, Michaeline has helped us decoratively pull our rooms together so they fit the style and function that we’re looking for. We have more home projects that we would like to do in the future and will definitely use Michaeline and CYS. More...

I hired Create Your Space Design for our basement remodeling project this past year. Because I've worked with the team at CYS for other projects in my home, I knew that Michaeline and her team could transform our dark, worn out "play space" into a beautiful space for both family and entertaining. CYS was able to help me shape my vision for the basement and also ensure that all the work done - woodwork, granite, flooring, electrical - was done on budget and in a timely manner. Michaeline was able to work really well with a contractor that I'd already hired to do some of the structural changes. He had some ideas he brought to the table and Michaeline was so open to incorporating them into our design changes for the space.

Michaeline brings a breadth of experience and creativity to each project I've hired her for. Her strengths include: her ability to incorporate what I want while gently steering me in a direction that I would not have necessarily chosen because she KNOWS what will look and feel amazing; her relationships in the design community and product knowledge; and her to move a project along and get it done!

I have recommended CYS Design to many friends and their projects have turned out above and beyond their expectations as well. More...
