Summerland Homes and Gardens - Osterville, Massachusetts

Elle transformed my house to a place that I love! She had a great vision and elevated the look of my home using new pieces, but also incorporating the favorite items I already had. She introduced some wallpaper, window treatments, accent rugs, and she even switched out some hardware on a tv cabinet - a small detail that made a big difference. She understood my budget and style, and had a great knowledge of period pieces that would work well in my antique home. My house now looks cohesive and upscale. I couldn't be happier, and have asked her to come back to work on some more rooms/projects once we both have time. She and her staff are always responsive and professional. I have already recommended Elle and will continue to do so.

We worked with Michelle on a garden design project for a mutual client. She was prompt, professional, and courteous. And she created a beautiful design which exceed our client's expectations! We look forward to working with Summerland in the future!

Whether your project involves constructing new space (indoor/outdoor), renovations, or providing a fresh décor in your home, you really want and need Elle by your side. The depth and scope of Elle's knowledge and expertise is truly extraordinary and sets her apart from others in her field.

I had the good fortune of being referred to Elle by Cape Associates, Inc when undertaking a major home renovation. She was invaluable and far superior to designers I previously worked with on home projects before I relocated back to the Cape,.

Here's why I recommend Elle so highly. 1) In a 60 minute interview/walk thru of my home, Elle totally "got" my style AND how to blend unique features of my home...even though I couldn't describe those things. It made future decisions about palettes, fixtures, etc. so easy because she already knew best, right options to put forth. 2) Elle is budget-sensitive. Whatever your price point, Elle will respect it & exceed your expectations on quality/range of options she presents. 3) Elle has a great sense of humor, fun to work with, and a way of diffusing project-related stress. It really helps to keep energy focused on important decision-making items.

One last point....if your project involves new construction or renovation, I strongly urge you to bring Elle into project planning ASAP. She's a master at identifying potential issues in design process which can save you time, money, and ultimately lead to outcomes you envisioned for your home.

I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Elle. Contact her. You'll experience the benefits of her expertise and knowledge as I did.

I acquired a home that needed a total update and have been using Summerland to update but still keep some of the family heirlooms. They are doing a great job! I love their style - Elle is able to bring a fresh look while maintaining the family history. And she understands my budget for a child friendly vacation home!

Elle, helped us with our basement project. She was recommended by Cape Associates, who handled the construction part; Elle handled the aesthetics of what the basement would look like when finished. She helped transform it from a concrete box in the ground to a beautiful, inviting and cozy living space for our family. What was most helpful was having Elle accompany us to various stores to pick out flooring, lighting, tiles and bathroom fixtures. We are so thankful we had Elle's excellent advice and guidance all along the way. We love our new basement!

We hired Elle and her team over a year ago. We are undertaking an enormous residential project that requires the utmost attention to detail. We have been exceptionally pleased with the service we are given. Summerland continually meets all of our expectations in regards to communication skills and meeting promised deadlines. We feel they go above and beyond their duties with personal touches. Our ideas were heard and implemented into our overall design. Elle brought ideas to the table that we would never have thought of and as a result, we have the plans we dreamed of but could not achieve on our own.
Highly recommended!!

I really enjoyed working with Michelle and her team. My house was "stuck in the 90's." I wanted to lighten it up and update it. Michelle took the time to learn about my style goals and sourced a number of items for me. My house now has the east coast aesthetic and relaxed sophisticated style that I was searching. Michelle not only has an amazing eye but she is also a lovely and thoughtful business owner!

Michelle has used several of my paintings in client projects. I especially enjoy working on commissioned pieces with her, because we are able to customize a piece that works seamlessly with the room. Michelle is professional every step of the way, and always does a great job of communicating her vision (& her client's!).
