from our clients…
"We can't thank Mel enough for the great work on our home. She was able to successfully work with the character of our home, our thoughts, and her own expertise to produce a result that far exceeded our expectations. She made it easy and fun, including us in the process when we desired, and removing all the difficult obstacles. Her team combined an eye for design and an ability to execute on time and on budget."
M. Goodman, Haverford, PA
"Mel has been an absolute joy to work with! We were completely gutting and redoing two bathrooms in our house and my husband and I had drastically different styles we were aiming for. Mel was able to listen to both of us and create two completely different and equally beautiful design plans. She was always responsive and never offended by questions or thoughts we had. She was also able to find lovely pieces while still being respectful of our budget. I would highly recommend her to anyone."
A. Wohlgemuth, Philadelphia, PA
“Mel’s eye for beauty, style and design is unmatched! She has worked patiently with me over the past few months to furnish and decorate an entire new-build townhouse. I wish you could see it in person but everyone who visits can feel the love that has been put into this home. Mel has offered me excellent design input and made it a fun process to choose everything from furniture, lighting and appliances to rugs, window treatments and artwork. Her down-to-earth, confident enthusiasm has been uplifting on so many levels and I have enjoyed this project so much. She has created an elegant sanctuary for me that is filled with beauty, simplicity and impeccable design. I couldn’t be more grateful to Mel or recommend her more highly!”

“I worked with Mel on a condo and remodel and she was great. She has a wonderful personality and was so easy to work with. She had great ideas and really listened to the kind of design I wanted to have. Despite having the contractor from hell she persisted and the end result was beautiful. She also has her own charity where clients can donate used furniture and she creates new homes for young adults that have aged out of foster care. What a great idea and a wonderful thing to do. I absolutely recommend her for your design project!”

Mel is a talented and thoughtful designer; she listens to your thoughts, likes, and dislikes and then transforms your house into the home of your dreams. I can not say enough positive things or recommend more highly. You will not be disappointed when you engage her.

Mel went above and beyond, stepping in to manage multiple vendors onsite in addition to performing traditional design work. We had never worked with a designer before but after many decorating disasters in our previous two homes we decided to take the plunge. It was so worth the investment. Every room in our home looks put together and serene.
In addition to being a talented designer with a fantastic eye for color, Mel is very easy to work with. She has a wonderful sense of humor and we would recommend Mel to anyone looking to enhance their space, whether a single room or the entire home. She is just wonderful!
We hired Mel to design a new home office after never working with a designer before. She was patient, explained the process, answered all of our many questions and diligently worked within our budget. We chose Mel due to her portfolio of clean modern looks with elegant pops of color and she didn’t disappoint! I am most pleased with how she listens - to my taste, my feedback, likes and dislikes to evolve a space until it’s perfect. She is so easy to work with, I sometimes forget she’s just not a friend helping me decorate. We were so pleased with the process and outcome that we’ve hired her to re-do our entire first floor.

“I have worked on multiple projects with Mel over the years. On each project, Mel brought an array of wonderful ideas, as well as keen listening instincts as she helped me figure out my style preferences. She knew I was mindful of costs and I found her tremendously flexible and helpful in that regard. Each room she created had a sense of presence, polish and comfort that I never would have achieved without her. Working with Mel was a wonderful way to achieve a beautiful home that feels like me, only more stylish and creative!”
D. Waterman, Glen Mills, PA
We hired Mel to redesign our kitchen, which had been a victim of an unexpected flood. She not only improved its functionality but also created a transitional kitchen featuring the warmth of a traditional design paired with neat touches of a more contemporary kitchen, including a more practical lighting scheme by contrasting textures and tones and devising a cohesive feeling that facilitates fun in the kitchen. She is an excellent listener, aims to please you, and aligns your ideas with her expertise, resulting in an exceptional final product.
