                                Tasked with bringing one of the Alexander mid-century modern homes back to life, <a href="http://www.michelleboudreaudesign.com/" data-wpel-link="external"  rel="external noopener noreferrer">Michelle Boudreau Design</a> achieved that while also updating it for modern times.
