Melanie was so helpful to us in resigning two of our rooms. In just three hours, she helped us develop a full game plan, so we knew exactly what we needed to do to complete the vision she laid out. It was a really personalized experience. We do not have an eye for design in the slightest, but now feel we have the tools and info we need to make our space beautiful and to reflect us.
Carly, Minneapolis, MN
We HIGHLY recommend Melanie! We had just moved into our first home, and weren't sure what to expect. Gratefully Melanie did an amazing job helping us identify easy & affordable quick fixes to make our home more beautiful. She also shared helpful insight into DIY projects we could take on, her experiences, and projects we could wait and think on. We loved her insights into setting a color scheme based on what we already had, and how to best mesh different styles with our home. She also suggested several local shops for us to check out!
We can't say enough good things about her support!
– Carlye
Having paint colors I love and being able to visualize them is like having the weight of the world off my shoulders.
— Jennifer
Melanie is incredible. She came by our house to give us a consultation for our living room and dining room. She came prepared with wonderful ideas, and was able to answer all of our questions. Melanie takes into account your lifestyle, and is able to give you great options for design that won't change your day to day activities. On top of that, she's so fun and we had a great time working with her!
– Elikem
Melanie was amazing! She was a huge help as we were in the early stages of a full main floor remodel. For everything from paint colors to furniture layout, she helped us make some great design decisions. I cannot recommend her enough!
