Elana & Evan - Newton

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 dreams for our home, and somehow helped us see what we really wanted, even when we weren’t sure ourselves.

Melissa isn’t just a designer/decorator – she’s a true artist. Her creativity knows no bounds. She has a way of making each space beautiful, functional, and completely unique to us. Whether it was designing the entire layout of a room (and actually house)  or choosing the perfect hardware for our kitchen cabinets, Melissa’s attention to detail and passion for what she does shined through. And all of this, while being so respectful of our budget and needs.

But beyond her talent, it’s Melissa’s kindness and infectious energy that made working with her such a joy. Renovating a home can be stressful, but she brought a sense of fun and calm to the process, making it feel easy and even enjoyable. She has this incredible ability to connect with everyone involved and keep things running smoothly, all while keeping us smiling and excited about each step.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to have had Melissa by our side through two full home renovations and helping us with our 90-year-old mother’s house. We can’t thank her enough for making each space feel like home in the truest sense. After 15 years of working with her, she’s more than just our designer – she’s become a part of our family.
