The Emily Michelle Project

The Emily Michelle Project follows designer and thrifting expert Emily Michelle as she juggles a growing design business, the launch of a new storefront, and the transformation of client homes - all while raising three kids and living in a half-renovated income property that also happens to be her own home. Thrifting is the heartbeat of Emily’s process. From uncovering hidden gems to reimagining pieces everyone else overlooked, she creates high-end, elevated looks using smart, affordable upgrades instead of major renovations. With a mix of paint, flooring, elevated finishes, and creative thrift flips, she stretches every budget as far as it will go - and when she can’t find the perfect piece, she makes it herself. Each episode gives viewers a front-row seat to Emily’s instinct-led, real-life design approach: accessible ideas, clever problem-solving, and personalized touches that make every space feel beautifully designed without the big price tag.
