My Philosophy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, my goal is to create a space that is uniquely you with all the elements that suit your lifestyle. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To do this, I imagine myself preparing a busy breakfast in your kitchen, relaxing with your family on your deck or sorting wash in your laundry room.  I put myself in your shoes and I ask, \u201cHow can I make this easier, better and more beautiful.\u201d  As I get to understand you and your needs, every decision I make, from function to flow, storage and design, is with you (and your budget) in mind. I make sure that your home truly reflects who you are. I design, build and decorate spaces that my clients love living in. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n\nWORK TOGETHER<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n
\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span>Consult<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

assess, share, brainstorm and explore<\/em><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

An introductory phone conversation will lead to an in-home or on-site consultation.  Together we\u2019ll take inventory.  This is when you can fill me in on what isn\u2019t working for you and dream big about what you\u2019d love.  We\u2019ll discuss solutions, determine a budget and set a timeline that works best for you.  I\u2019ll also want to talk about what inspires you, what captivates you, the trends you like and the ones that drive you crazy.  We may need more than one meeting to nail it down.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span>Create<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

sketch, discuss, tweak and agree<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once the initial design consultation is complete, I will pull our ideas together and present you with detailed drawings and floor plans.  These sketches will help us envision your new space. We can still make changes or include anything that we may have missed.  I\u2019ll work closely with you to ensure that the design delivers everything you hoped for.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span>Confirm<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

shop, compare, approve and acquire<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once the design has been finalized with your approval, I\u2019ll provide quotes for various materials and finishes.  Together we\u2019ll decide what is going to work the best, where to spend and where to save.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span>Construct<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

build, refine, beautify and complete<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After we have decided on the construction materials, my contracting team will come in and, under my supervision, execute our design \u2013 on time and within budget.  I will then add the finishing accessories and d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

We\u2019re done.  Luxuriate in your new space.  What\u2019s up next?<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

D\u00e9cor Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we don\u2019t have the time, budget or desire for a renovation. A fresh coat of paint, a new carpet or a unique focal point is all we need to breathe life into our living space.  Melinda knows that reorganizing and coordinating can be overwhelming, especially with all the options out there.  She will bring vision into your home with transformations you never dreamed of.  She also understands the meaning of a tight budget and actually loves the endless possibilities that it can present. With a little effort, she will revive your home to make it new and YOU.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Design to Sell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Melinda is an expert on how to bring universal style to a home that you\u2019re getting ready to put on the market.  Realtors and sellers have trusted her to consistently improve listing appeal and increase market value with her design execution. <\/p>\n\n\n

Hi, I\u2019m Melinda. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a designer, a decorator, an artist and a furniture refinisher.  But first and foremost, I\u2019m a working mom who understands how important it is to have your lifestyle coincide with your home.  And vice versa.  Your home needs to work for you, reflect who you are and embrace the most important people and moments of your life.  I get it.  Together we\u2019ll get it for you!<\/p>\n\n\n
