Melinda asked us a lot of questions, listened to our concerns, and encouraged us to go outside our comfort zone.
She brought us samples, material specs, plans, and illustrations that were very helpful in the decision process. We were so impressed with her that we have decided to use her [again].
Jan and Jon S.
We particularly valued Melinda's impeccable reputation with the contractors and subs who often commented, unsolicitedly, that they found her work to be outstanding.
She invested the time to deeply understand our style, preferences, and desired outcome and used that to balance making beautiful choices for us that we wouldn't have otherwise considered, while at the same time deferring to us in areas where we were particularly opinionated. We trusted Melinda completely and she added tremendous value and insight. We recommend her without hesitation.
