STYLING & STAGING

People aren’t drawn to a space because of how it looks - they’re drawn to how it makes them feel.

We style lived-in spaces, short-term rentals, and homes preparing for market so homeowners reconnect with peace and joy, guests feel instantly at ease, and buyers can imagine themselves moving in.

“I’ve worked with Melissa for years - from guidance on layout and design elements in my personal homes to styling of short term rentals. She never fails to find that perfect balance of practicality, design aesthetic, and warmth.”
— Steve G.
“When I opened my salon, Melissa didn’t just help me with style elements, she helped me create an inviting and comfortable customer experience. I come to her for advice on everything related to my space and brand.”
— Sharlyn H.
