For the fifth year in a row, Designer Interiors by Mary Olk has been honored with a Building Association of Southeast Michigan’s Sales & Marketing Award for its unique ability to add essential sales appeal to new home models

Designer’s Interiors work at Curtis Building Company’s Whitehall II model at the neo-traditional Cherry Hill Village in Canton was honored with a Silver Award at the Sales & Marketing Council’s awards celebration held last month at St. John’s Golf & Conference Center in Plymouth.

“This recognition is particularly gratifying given the outstanding competition in the market, and the challenge we had at Cherry Hill to make this home stand out in a development of multiple builders,” said Mary Olk, president and founder of Troy-based Designer Interiors.

Whitehall II’s design/merchandising combines lush colors and functional, stylish furnishings. Sophisticated cabinetry complements jewel-colored kitchen accessories and a family-sized breakfast nook, while inviting living room detailing entice potential buyers to relax by the fire with their favorite book. Custom bedding and drapery conveys a regal aura in the master suite, punctuating the home’s appeal to move-up buyers.

Designer Interiors’ long-term success the market has pushed its annual production volume from about 10 new models or community clubhouses a year a decade ago to more than 50 models in 2003. Other recent, high profile assignments have included the 2003 Homearama model for C.R. Miller Homes at Stratford in Washington Township, as well as a Moceri Companies’ show home at The Oaklands in Oakland Township, which served as a featured attraction during an earlier Somerset Collection Home and Garden Show.
