New House, New Look

Rick and Donna Devore were ready for what they call “a lifestyle change.” They’d been married for 38 years when they decided to downsize and move into a charming Victorian in the walkable city of Birmingham, Michigan. The couple wanted a new home that was casual and livable, comfortable, with coastal notes.

Michele delivered the cool look and fresh start they were after—and so much more. Take a look and see how this lifestyle change, changed their life.
