"Mel was absolutely wonderful to work with! We needed a last minute session before we finalized our window order. Mel brought our dream home to life! The color selections exceeded our wildest dreams. We are restoring a 1910 Craftsman. We wanted it to look like a traditional Craftsman but always hoped to have a Green house. Green can be a really tricky color to get right, it leans both cold and warm. Mel worked with us to land on the right color scheme. She gave us amazing suggestions for authentic Craftsman Details. I cannot rave about Mel enough!"

"Mel was absolutely fantastic! Colors don't come easy for me but she helped explain and simplify things so well. She's extremely knowledgeable and great to work with, accommodating even our tight schedule across timezones. Highly recommend and would definitely work with her again in the future. Thanks Mel!"

"Can't say enough wonderful things about Mel or the design process she has devised. She made the process fun and stress-free. Her brilliant website with so much good information is what brought us to her, and we see that the organization and thoughtfulness of the website is simply a reflection of who she is and how she does business. We are so happy with the results, and all the resources she provided. Mel exceeded our expectations over and over again!"

"Everything was as promised and actually exceeded our expectations. We got lots of great ideas and tons of information on every aspect of our project. We would highly recommend!"

"Engaging Mel and collaborating with her was well worth the investment. The value we gained was focus – being able, with her expert guidance, to distill down choices. At the end of the engagement, we had a roadmap for finalizing our project with the help of a contractor. With her creativity, Mel goes above and beyond to deliver this value. To begin, she provided insights into our current design issues and even our unconscious desires about our home’s future state in her video review. She is positive, which in the review and subsequent collaborative process was so helpful. And the rhythm of communication over the week’s engagement period was productive and satisfying. I learned a lot from Mel and, again, am so happy that we took the step to engage her."

"Magical is the only word I can use to say what I feel was the best decision I've made to date on our new home build. HIRE MEL! Her work is amazing. She is gifted at the highest level and will save you so much time and money on what you would have done vs. should have done on your home Reno or new build. Her talent is off the charts and she creates so much VALUE to your project, it really is unbelievable. Found her unexpectedly on Pinterest blog searching Farmhouse exteriors. I would give her 10 stars if I could!"

"Mel's help was invaluable in helping us craft a plan for updates to our home's outdated exterior. Though we went into the consultation with ideas about what we like on other homes, we weren't confident about what would work well together on our home. Mel's presentation of her initial renderings demonstrated that in addition to learning about our tastes, she had also thoroughly researched our house and neighborhood. She helped us develop a cohesive design for our exterior remodel that we absolutely love. We decided to try her services because we were afraid that after investing in expensive new roofing, siding, doors, windows, etc. we might dislike or just not love the results. That fear has been completely removed after our 1-week consult; we can't wait to start making updates! Mel's process is well-organized, she's a great communicator, and she has extensive design expertise. For us, the consult with Mel was well worth the money."

"Mel did three wonderful designs and answered are numerous questions quickly and professionally. She was able to help us truly visualize what our house would look like before hiring a contractor. Many of our questions probably should’ve been directed at a contractor but she patiently tried to answer them as best she could. We were thoroughly impressed at all she did to get us started on this project."

"Mel is awesome! We so enjoyed working with her. She brought all of our wants and needs into a beautiful vision that we can now work with a contractor to execute. She was super quick to respond. She has an excellent vision. She is very knowledgeable in her field. I cannot recommend her enough!"

"Working with Mel was a dream. I can't imagine going into such an extensive process as exterior renovations without her incredibly trained eye and expertise. If you're on the fence at all, trust me and work with her. It was an amazing experience, and I feel much more confident in moving forward with our renovations."

"Working with Mel was a joy from start to finish. She was able to take my mish-mash of ideas and translate them into an actionable plan. The process was clearly explained at the start, and I felt she was more than helpful and incredibly responsive. This was a decision I had been putting off for so long and Mel made the process so easy and enjoyable! I would whole-heartedly recommend Mel's services if you're considering a home design project."

"Working with Mel was fun and efficient. She has the process finely tuned, and her suggestions are transformative. The end result is a clear plan that I am excited about. So worth it!"
