“I have had the pleasure of working with Michele for many years on both personal and business projects. Her expertise and guidance have become so invaluable that I now seek her advice before purchasing any paint. She has a remarkable ability to analyze the composition of colors and harmonize them in a way that is truly complementary. I confidently and regularly recommend her to anyone who expresses difficulty choosing the right colors for their projects.”

“Michele was a godsend to work with on my project. I was completely overwhelmed and lacked the confidence to pick colors for the ENTIRE interior of my home. Michele was great to work with and helped make the process far less daunting with her ability to organize and coordinate colors with existing tile, flooring, and furnishings. Not only is she talented in working with color, she’s just fun to collaborate with her warmth and creativity. She educated me in how to see color and excelled at helping me flesh out the vision I was aiming for. She was also amazing when at the last minute we decided to paint all the kitchen cabinets. She carved out time in her schedule to come at the last minute to make sure the color choice was appropriate with the existing color scheme. I am thrilled with the outcome and appreciate all of her help in making the project a success.””

“Our home was old and extremely dated when we bought it in 1990. We hired someone to recommend colors, and we went with the suggestions, even though we weren’t sold on a few colors including the red arch separating the living/dining rooms. A few years later, we heard about Pine Street Design and called Michele in hopes that she could recommend new colors that were a better fit for the age of the house and easier transitions between the rooms. We loved the choices she made, and eventually she touched every room in our three -floor house, plus the outdoor color and trim of house and greenhouse. The neighbors and people walking by mentioned consistently how lovely it was.

Later, when we knocked out a wall between the kitchen and den, Michele and her husband Mike created a beautiful family area/kitchen. With the two of them we transitioned to one large room with a kitchen island and living space that became our favorite place to spend time. Michele chose the tile and colors.

We recently sold our home for a great deal more than we expected, and we attribute a good part of the successful sale to the careful and beautiful choices that Michele provided.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Michele several years ago on a previous project, and when I needed assistance with color and design for my clinic in Hood River, she was the first person I thought of.

From the very beginning, Michele’s approach was thoughtful and focused. She asked me to articulate not only how I wanted to feel in the space but, more importantly, how I wanted my patients to feel. I expressed the desire for a space that was safe, warm, cozy, professional, artistic, inviting – essentially, a space that would feel like a comforting embrace.

I had just rented a raw space, and Michele came out to conduct a detailed design consultation. She carefully divided the clinic into three distinct zones: the intake area, which includes two comfortable chairs with side tables for tea; the office area, which houses my desk, chair, and credentials; and the treatment area. She even designed a natural room divider to seamlessly integrate these spaces.

Once the layout was set, we moved on to color selection. Michele was highly mindful in her choices, setting the tone and complementing the brick wall on the west side. Michele also assisted with selecting the furniture, ensuring everything complemented the design. The collaboration between us was truly seamless. Michele not only understood my vision but also brought it to life in a way that surpassed my expectations.

My Hood River clinic - Heart In Hand Acupuncture is now a stunning reflection of our work together.

Thank you again, Michele!”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Pine Street Design. My house desperately needed an exterior paint update, and Michele provided me with color scheme options that struck the perfect balance between timeless and modern. She looked at the interior of our home to get a sense of our personal style and came up with a color scheme that really fits us and the house. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Thank you Michele for choosing such a perfect color palette for my home.  I so appreciated that you choose colors that could modernize my house without me having to buy all new furniture.  I am going to love living with these gorgeous colors and textures, so I think you just saved me the expense of a move!”

“Michele has selected all the interior and exterior colors for our home over the last several years. I have always liked color and think of myself as having good color taste, yet was seldom satisfied with paint color choices I made. That was confusing to me. So I hired Michele to do color design for a couple of rooms, was thrilled, and have not looked back.”

“Michele blends an artist’s feel for color and design with deeply practical, smart and useful changes.  She digs in to uncover your space’s hidden functionality, finding creative solutions to meet your practical needs, while making sure that the space feels the way you want it to, so you can utilize and enjoy it more fully”

“I discovered Michele Greco while we were deciding what color to paint our house.  My husband and I walked our dog by Michele’s house several times a week, and we both loved the color, It was not typical, eye-catching and very classy.  We didn’t know Michele but her sign was posted outside, Pine Street Design, so I called her.  She came to visit which was actually an interview about our lifestyle, our neighborhood, and what we loved about our home.  When Michele returned about a week later, she presented one palette:  the house color with three complimentary accent colors.  I was stunned.  She brought us only one choice, and we both LOVED it.  Several years later, we still love it.  Michele has now touched almost every room of our house with wall color, cabinet color, kitchen counter choice, window treatments and carpeting.  She knows us, and our house, so well that I can just say what I am looking to do, and she comes back with one choice, or a handful of choices, that I love.  I would hate to think of taking on any design project without Michele.  She is a true creative with a fun approach to tackling any project.”

“I work long hours and have two young children so everything house-related gets pushed to the back burner.  Having Michele help choose colors for our home allowed me to refresh our space without spending hours and second guessing myself. She listened attentively to my goals and chose the perfect colors. She is a delight to work with, efficient and professional.  We are thrilled with the outcome and the process.  Thank you, Michele”

“For years we tried to pick out colors for our home without consulting an expert.  Nothing ever seemed to work, leaving us disappointed and frustrated.  Then we met Michele Greco.”  In addition to all new interior colors, Michele helped us redesign our kitchen. She chose large format porcelain tile for countertops, designed the new look for our cabinets and selected environmentally friendly eucalyptus wood for the cabinet facelift. The changes she made gave us new drawers, new appliances, and new hardware. Plus, we now have a kitchen that finally has more useable storage in the same amount of space.  We are thrilled!  Michele also improved the curb appeal of our house by simply changing the trim and adding decorative copper accents to the front porch.  We look forward to using Michele’s advice whenever we start a new project.  We have lived in this house for 43 years and we love updating with Michele there to make it work.”

““Michele pays attention to what we say we like, to colors, atmosphere, hues, what energy we like for our home. She asks lots of questions and listens to our answers. There are features in our house we have to work with; they are too expensive to replace,  a paneled ceiling, and shiny finish on natural wood door frames for example. She uses flow from room to room as an asset to enhance. Michele understands how light and paint play with each other and that becomes part of her design.”
