A FRESH SPIN
ON INTERIOR DESIGN
Our approach is different from conventional interior design firms.
We are your side-by-side interior design partner, advisor, guide, collaborator, friend-with-education-in-the-field.
After an Interior Design Consultation with Melanie, you'll have a new vision
and a plan for your home. You'll be able to "see" the possibilities. You are free to implement the vision yourself or hire Melanie by the hour for a wide variety of "à la carte" interior design services to help you.
Our approach works well if:
• You have ideas and want to collaborate with a designer to bring them to life
• You enjoy learning about how to decorate or improve your home
• You enjoy being more hands-on
• Want he option to work within your budget and time frame
• You need ideas and a fresh set of eyes
• You want to learn how to make your home cohesive and inviting
• You are overwhelmed picking out flooring, paint colors and everything else
OR
If any of these questions have ever entered your mind:
- How should I arrange my furniture?
- Where to get new furniture?
- How do I go about updating my house?
- How do I make it look cohesive, inviting, finished?
- How can I make my house look like Pinterest?
- How do I manage all these toys?!
- Can I use this space better?
- What’s the best type of rug?
– Where is my money best spent?
- Do I have to spend so much money on.. ?
- I have NO IDEA how to make my house look good.
- I want wallpaper. Where do I get it? Is this a cute pattern or am I crazy?!
Who installs it?
- I’m afraid to make a bad decision.
- How do I….
So.
Many.
Questions.

We hired Melanie for an Ideas and Design consultation and had a wonderful experience. Melanie provided us with small tweaks we could make to our home that would make a big difference.
She also helped us decide what projects would be best to focus on and what would give us the “biggest bang for our buck.”
Melanie came to the consultation very prepared and provided us with many resources to help with our next steps. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Melanie and would recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer.

Melanie did a lovely job helping me to get "unstuck" in envisioning a better design for several rooms in my house, particularly the bedroom and dining room and to come up with a plan to move forward. She is excellent at seeing the possibilities with your current furniture and showing new ways to arrange the space. I felt a sense of relief and a boost of energy after her visit, and can't wait to get started. Thanks, Melanie!

She listened to my needs and offered several options for the layout of my living area. I will definitely contact her again for consultation. Very pleasant experience.

We ended our Ideas and Inspiration Interior Design Consult with Melanie feeling excited, inspired, and very comfortable with where to start.
Melanie had so many interesting ideas that we never would have come up with on our own, or would not have been brave enough to try without her reassurance.
Her ideas struck the balance of being fresh, inspiring and practical. My partner and I had different decor and design ideas, and Melanie was able to offer suggestions that somehow met both of our visions. Highly, highly recommend!
