MichelleGageDesignhoundsKBISHello! I’m Michelle Gage! I am a Philadelphia suburbs-based interior designer. I fell in love with interior design at an early age. My trusty Lisa Frank notebook was always at my side, full of floor plan sketches and decor ideas. I opened it up at every house I entered. Whether you wanted it or not, I was always there to offer a friendly floor plan fix.As years passed, that passion stuck with me and ultimately led me to study at Virginia Tech, where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Interior Design. Upon graduation, I moved to Philadelphia to work as a home merchant at Anthropologie HQ, buying everything from art and antiques to lighting and decorative textiles. I’ve worked with wonderful partners from all over the globe, buying antiques from French dealers and producing lighting with Asian vendors.Fast forward a few years to where I am now – creating magical spaces that are a true reflection of you, your family and your lifestyle. My work has been featured by Domino, Design Sponge, Apartment Therapy, HGTV Magazine – just to name a few. Currently, my husband, rescue pups and I reside right outside of the City of Brotherly Love, where we are busy renovating our forever home. When I’m not designing, you can find me at flea markets, thrift stores and estate sales. I’m always on the hunt for a glorious vintage find. I seek out the best markets while traveling. I’ve shopped The Paris Flea Market, The Brimfield Antique Market and The Rose Bowl. Many of the one of a kind goodies I find are available through The Early Bird Vintage on Chairish. I take joy in creating homes that appear curated over time, combining the things you love with my artful eye. Every space I create is a true collaboration of visions.

Maureen Coates Designhounds KBISI started my career as a graphic designer, gaining a solid grounding in all elements of design including colour, proportion, shape and size. After having been a stay-at-home-Mom for 19 years, I went back to school to become a certified Interior Decorator. I launched my initial business in 2009 to provide Interior Decorator and Design Consultant services in the Ottawa area. I quickly realized that the elements of design I had been taught as a graphic artist, seamlessly translated to Interior Design and Interior Decorating.My personal interest in small space design has become an integral part of my business. I experienced downsizing first hand moving from a large family country home, to a smaller city home, then finally to a new condo build in the heart of downtown Ottawa.I love designing smaller spaces as they require attention to design detail while also mastering the practical matters of function and form. However, smaller spaces, out of necessity need to be well edited to ensure you are still surrounded by the things you love, regardless of design trends.I have been published in Style at Home, Ottawa at Home Magazine, Ottawa Magazine, and The Ottawa Citizen. I have been honoured with an award from the Canadian Decorators’ Association (CDECA). My passion for working with colour led me to become certified as a True Colour Expert/TCE through colour guru Maria Killam’s excellent colour courses.“I am passionate about helping clients enjoy an organized, curated and functional life filled with beauty and a touch of luxury. ”
