A Bold Southern Remodel Where Pattern and Personality Collide

Versatile, bold, and refusing to be boxed into a single style, designer Michelle Murphy opens the doors to her North Carolina home.

Known for her impeccable eye and fearless use of color and pattern, Michelle specializes in remodels—finding joy in taking something old and making it entirely new.

Michelle’s creative instincts were shaped early on, growing up surrounded by art through her mother’s nonprofit gallery. Guided by her belief that “your home is your reflection,” Michelle creates spaces that feel expressive, intentional, and deeply connected to the people who live in them.
