Milk and Honey Group

Milk and Honey Group is a Cambridge, MA design-build firm led by principal Isabella Califano Ehrlich, who traded a 15-year career in retail marketing — including creative-director roles at Burt's Bees Baby and Pottery Barn Kids — for architecture, interior design and general contracting. The company says she has spent the past fifteen years assembling her own team of builders, artisans and tradespeople, and oversees each project herself. The firm's stated range spans renovations, additions, historic preservation and custom millwork, and its stated service area covers Cambridge and Little Compton, RI. On Houzz, its profile carries a 5.0 rating from four reviews along with a Houzz Award, a Houzz Badge and eight featured projects — though the individual review text behind that rating isn't available to read in detail. Beyond that Houzz profile, there aren't many independent customer reviews on file yet, so a homeowner considering Milk and Honey Group should ask to see recent project photos and speak with a past client directly, especially for anything touching historic preservation work. For a Cambridge-area renovation, addition or millwork project led hands-on by its owner, it's worth a call — just build the reference check yourself before committing.
