About the Author
Michael has spent years in residential styling and renovation, and his honest take is that most home design advice either assumes an unlimited budget or ignores the way people actually live in their spaces.

He collects antiques in his spare time, which keeps him thinking about proportion, scale, and why certain pieces outlast trends by decades.
