I have used Anthony’s services for everything from assisting with my wedding planning to staging my homes before selling, to designing my newest home. Many times I did not even know the questions to ask, he took the reigns and asked me all about my favorite colors, what hobbies I have, family needs, security, cooking habits, I was shocked that he took so much time to get to know my husband and I so that he could present the perfect plan for our home. We had plenty of laughs along the way as well. What can I say, he became like family to us! He even helped with our boating life!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Anthony Michael both personally and professionally for over 3 decades. He has a gift for creating functional, livable spaces that exude “wow factor” each time.

Two Girls and a Hammer has collaborated with Anthony Michael for several years on numerous projects. My partner Christine and I have found working with Anthony a pure creative joy. Anthony's knowledge of Luxury Interior Design and Architectural History is unparalleled. Anthony is extremely talented and our clients have discovered the normally stressful creative process to be rewarding and exciting. Anthony's ability to listen, understand a vision, offer creative solutions and develop an amazing final design is what we want for our clients to experience and he certainly delivers.
