Hello beautiful people. Surprise! I thought I would make some #fridayintroductions. It is about time that I share with you the person behind the business. And today happens to be the perfect day for it. It's my birthday 🎂🎉 Happy Birthday to me 😊 If you don't know me, I'm Michelle Samuels, designer and creative director of The Bungalow Cottage; an interior design studio based in Bermuda 🌴 Here's a little bit about me. I'm a wife, a mother, a strawberry smoothie lover, a go-getter who has big goals for this business, and someone who wants to help you create a space that brings out the best in you. My passion is interior design and I believe our homes should support who we wish to be. Trust me! It's possible. And you'll thank yourself for making such a change. If you've been paying attention, I am an island girl. 50% Bermudian (from my father) and 50% Antiguan and Barbudan (from my mother). That makes me 100% island and I love every bit of it. I wouldn't have it any other way. I am blessed to have grown up on the island of Bermuda where the water is beautiful, the weather is just right and the people are friendly. I gather a lot of my design inspiration from the island and use it to create spaces that are relaxed, pure, and personal. To make this possible, I offer Full-service Design, Interior Decorating, E-Design, and standalone Design Consultations. I'm here to help no matter where you are in your design journey. Do you have a design project you are planning? Head on over to the site and book a complimentary discovery call to learn more about my services and to find out how I can help you create the home you've always dreamed you'd have. Link in bio. Have a beautiful weekend gorgeous people and a lively holiday Bermuda 💙💙💙 . . . 📷 @d_seymour_photos 
Do you know what's so special about interior design? . . . For designers, it's about designing homes that improve the lives of people. Being able to transform spaces that encourage you to spend quality time with family, become a better cook, find time to practice self-care, sleep better, decide to sit to the dining table and eat dinner together, schedule more gatherings with friends or just sit back and find peace in that. The list is endless. But these are some of the benefits of interior design. It is most definitely not just about pretty spaces. It's about bringing happiness and purpose into your life. Believe it or not, home is our universe. It's where we meet back up at the end of a long day to recharge and refuel for the next day. It's where we experience some of life's firsts. So why wouldn't you want it to be a reflection of who you are and a catalyst for change in your life? For me, I echo the words of William Morris and say fill your home with things you love, things that bring you joy and things that have a purpose in your life. That's what interior design is. It's that simple. I dare you to make a small change in your home today that brings you closer to feeling joy and happiness. It doesn't have to cost you anything. But if you choose to add a new find, make sure it's something you will really enjoy having in your home. It could be rearranging the furniture in a room, organizing that bookshelf or closet that you haven't been able to get to, adding plants to a few rooms in the house, or buying a piece of artwork that speaks to you. Try it out and tell me how it made you feel. I would love to hear about how you have transformed your life by making one small change. #interiordesign #lifestyle #interiorinspiration #interiordesigner #interiors #design #motivation #inspiration #passion #goals #happiness #freedom #meaningoflife #joy
