When we think of Melissa and her team, three words immediately come to mind: extraordinary, versatile, and thoughtful. We’ve had the privilege of working with Melissa for 15 years now, and it’s hard to put into words how grateful we are for everything she’s done for us. From the very start, she didn’t just hear what we were saying – she truly listened. She took the time to understand our…

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…

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…

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…

And that is just one aspect of Melissa’s magic. Another is her ability to personalize each space, reimagining…
