Michelle Olson has always been drawn to homes—not just for their architecture, but for the stories they hold and the lives unfolding within them.

 

Her career began in real estate in 2008 with Carol C. Dorey Real Estate, a boutique firm known for exceptional properties throughout the Lehigh Valley and Bucks County. Over time, what naturally set Michelle apart was her ability to see beyond the transaction—to envision how a home could live beautifully.

 

Design has never been separate from her work — it is at the heart of everything she does.  With an intuitive understanding of how people truly live, Michelle creates spaces that feel personal, layered, and effortlessly inviting. She believes a home should be more than beautiful—it should feel like a haven. A place that restores, welcomes, and reflects the people who live there.

 

Her work is deeply influenced by a love of European living—especially the charm, romance and collected nature of Paris. She is drawn to interiors that feel layered over time, where each piece tells a story and nothing feels overly perfect or staged.  Her approach is never one-size-fits-all. Instead, she listens carefully, studies how her clients live, and refines each space until it feels both natural and elevated—often exceeding what they imagined possible.

 

Michelle’s work has garnered national and regional recognition. She was scouted by HGTV for a local feature, and her personal residence was selected for NBC’s The TODAY Show. Her work has also been featured in Country Sampler Farmhouse Style, Lehigh Valley Style, Lehigh Valley Marketplace,  The Morning Call, and the Society of the Arts Designer Showcase Homes.

 

Today, through Marché Maison, Michelle extends her passion beyond design—curating spaces, pieces, and experiences that inspire others to live beautifully…at home and in Paris.
