Everyone has a nightmare construction or contractor story to share. I am sure my story ranks higher than most. While in a whole house renovation, I had the broken water pipe, failed inspections, Impossible contractor and missing workers…..but I also had the hero story of the very sweet, lovely Melissa Gulley. My interior designer extraordinaire who also proved to be a contractor whisperer. Melissa Gulley not only worked design magic, but…

A Home to be Shared This home was designed for clients who love to entertain—whether it’s impromptu cocktail parties, groups of teenagers having fun, or family celebrations. It also needed to be perfect for laid-back, day-to-day living. We created a chic, party-ready first floor with flexible seating areas that adapt to any occasion. Everything is […]

Curated for Living We absolutely love working with clients who enjoy celebrating life. Dinner parties, baby showers, birthdays—you name it, we designed this space to embrace it all. These amazing clients have been a big and wonderful part of our lives for years, and I often joke that they’re my “work family.” Over the last […]

Working with Melissa Gulley has been one of the most wonderful and rewarding experiences. We started with a completely stark white house, virtually no furniture, definitely no window treatments, and almost no concept of what we liked and what our tastes in decorating were. Because of this, the thought of decorating our house and making it a “home” was daunting and depressing. But, then, a friend of ours suggested we…

Clean Classic “I know you’re known for your use of color, but I don’t like color at all.” This statement kicked off one of the most rewarding projects I’ve ever worked on. It was a ground-up build for a fantastic young professional couple that I had the chance to design inside and out alongside a […]

I truly feel blessed that you helped me accomplish our dream home! I know my style is not for everyone, but I smile every time I stop and admire our house. Plain and simple, our house makes us so HAPPY! It represents the zany personalities of our family and I could not have accomplished this without you and your vision. You pushed me out of my comfort zone and you reigned me…

New House, Old Soul This project was a really exciting new build, soup to nuts, for a long standing client. The entire team started on day one- collaborating together the whole way through. My clients wanted a house that felt as though it had been there forever, imbued with character, gained through the years of […]

Amazingly, we first met and started working with Melissa 25 years ago! During that time she has helped us rethink and redesign nearly every room in our home. What has always stood out to us is her playful, unexpected, and dynamic mix of materials, textures, and patterns; introducing us to successful ideas we would never have imagined. And that is just one aspect of Melissa’s magic. Another is her ability to personalize each space, reimagining…

My wife and I have done 3 major projects with Melissa over the past 10 years; a major remodel, a complete restoration of an antique house, and the construction of a new home. We think Melissa’s real talent was being able to tease out from us our wants, likes and dislikes, and translate those fragments of ideas into a unifying vision for the project. She also has the ability to…

We have worked with Melissa for over a decade, having just completed a major new construction project from start to finish with her. The Process For our most recent project we built a new home from start to finish. While we started the process with a high degree of trust in Melissa’s abilities having worked with her in the past, we were still amazed at the full range of her…
