Four Week Colorful Garage Revamp
Problem: a cluttered, dull, and downright dysfunctional garage.
That's what Sharon was dealing with. She had a vision though—a vibrant retreat where she and her partner could sweat it out, strum the guitar, and blast Bruce Springsteen tunes. After shedding some serious pounds, both of them were eager to stick to their routine. The garage as it stood? Simply not up to par and they simply were not motivated to spend any time there. Their recent weight loss was in jeopardy!
Solution: I teamed up with Sharon to reflect her lively spirit in the space. After thorough investigation, I discovered a wallpaper that resonated with her, nailed down the perfect shade of blue, hunted down a unique rug she adored, and managed to incorporate her cherished piano and murphy bed. It was a perfect blend that captured her essence flawlessly!
I handled the entire transformation, from planning to installation, all within FOUR WEEKS (and over the Thanksgiving holiday). Not bad for a full-on redesign!
It's truly incredible to witness the way the color trend has captivated so many individuals. Ever since I embarked on this journey back in 2021, I've been pleasantly surprised by the immense support from thousands of fellow color enthusiasts who have eagerly subscribed to my newsletter and regularly engage with my content on Instagram.

Melanie is a master at making a one of a kind personalized space! She injects the perfect amount of color, texture, and pattern. I am blown away with the results and excited to put some of my DIY skills to use. I'm already looking around my house to see what other rooms she can bring to life.

We couldn’t decide what to do with our guest house. It was an unhappy, sad looking mess. Enter Melanie! What a blessing. She designed a space had color, but not too much - just splashes. And she created nice touch of modern and vintage. She surprised us did things we couldn’t even imagine. My wife and I are finally talking again. So hire Mel if you want to your house looking good and want to save your marriage.

So much inspiration. I just moved into a new house and the fucker is millennial gray throughout 😬 Currently trying to remedy that 😁
