WHO WE ARE

Melissa's view of interior design is straight-forward. Her job is to help clients create a space that reflects who they are. Whether it is a whole-house renovation or a single-room makeover, Melissa believes a successful interior highlights the expertise of the designer, and more importantly, speaks to the personality of the client. The goal is to capture a one-of-a-kind look that goes beyond the retail sameness of today's home furnishings market. Her clients' ideas, photos and family heirlooms often provide inspiration for their rooms. "It's all about making a house a home," says Melissa. "If I can realize my clients vision for a space and delight them with the results, then that's a job well done." Whether the goal is traditional, eclectic, transitional or modern, she knows what is appropriate and how to instill a room with character, comfort and timeless appeal. From initial consultation to final installation, she guides clients through matters of form and function, while emphasizing quality, value and personal style. Recognized as one of the areas top residential design firms, Melissa's work has been published in Elle Decor, Home & Design and Arlington Magazine.
