Melanie not only understood what we wanted for our master bedroom remodel, she made it 100 times better. She suggested taking some risks and they really paid off, the result is an amazing room that we love. **★★★★★ — Mary Dawson, Sept. 2016** > I knew I wanted to do something to update our kitchen but struggled with what to do. I could not pull together a design. I saw pictures I liked but was not sure how they would translate to my kitchen. Melanie ( Henry Kate Design Co.) was the answer. We chose her after researching and speaking to her about our project. She listened to our wants our needs and got who we were. Melanie's design exceeded our expectations for our kitchen. **★★★★★ — txmyra, Aug. 2016** > Melanie is a dream to work with and her work is outstanding.! She makes quick decisions when she has to, if she isn't sure, she has no problem with saying she'll sleep on it. Her talent and demeanor go way beyond her years - she is A plus plus all the way! You will enjoy her, she is competent, easy and a pleasure to work with! > > Thank you Melanie! **★★★★★ — HU-264952, Aug. 2016** > Melanie is a very detailed designer overseeing her projects as though it was her own house. She planned, designed and installed marble tiles transforming an ordinary bathroom into a work of art and beauty. Very professional and very thorough and a pleasure to work with **★★★★★ — haley77, Sept. 2015** > I am in the early stages of working with the designers at Henry Kate Designs. I have been very happy with their creativeness and efforts in the rooms I am having refinished. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Bellanger, Sept. 2015** > We were very pleased with all aspects of Henry Kate Design. Melanie and her team displayed professionalism and proficiency from the initial design meetings to the last detail of installation. We are remodeling a 1920's rural home with a 1970's add on. We were looking to make the dated 70's bathroom flow with the rest of the home. Melanie really listened to our needs and plans for the home. Her thoughtful and original plan for our little bathroom was beyond anything we had imagined! She was really able to maximize the space of the room and see potential that we never expected. We strongly recommend her to others and look forward to working with her on future projects. **★★★★★ — raenoyes12, March 2015** > Henry Kate Design Co did an amazing job on our home. We started with a blank canvas and we were able to really explore the creativity of Melanie and team. We wanted to incorporate things we already had, and spice things up with new items. Melanie was able to re purpose and rejuvenate some of our personal items that we didn't want to let go of. The items she purchased for us were always kept within our budget, and really understood our vision. I am excited to partner with Henry Kate Design Co for future projects and to continue helping me make our home beautiful! **★★★★★ — Ashley K, Nov. 2014** > Melanie and her team were AMAZING. She worked to incorporate my ideas and her design expertise to perfectly execute our vision for the master bath remodel. Never pushy, but always ready with honest opinions to help guide our decision making, she personally oversaw our project through to the very end & did an excellent job keeping everything on schedule. As for the crew, they were always kind, exhibited integrity and were extremely hard working with a keen eye for detail. I always felt comfortable with them in my home. > > I think Melanie really shines when it comes to the finishing touches and accent decor. She is truly a gifted designer and we will definitely be using her company again when we update our kitchen! **★★★★★ — ashlievic, Nov. 2014** > We wanted to make our house a home and Melanie and her team did just that for us. She is so spot on with her design, all while blending it with what we love. We have an open floor plan home that was dark and uninviting. She came in and modified the color scheme from the walls, to the kitchen back splash, to the decor. Our home is so much brighter now and truly feels like our home. We absolutely love the finishing touches she included in our living room. I never would've been able to pair the items that she picked out for our mantle. She is amazingly talented and everyone looking for an interior designer should call Melanie with Henry Kate Design. You will not be disappointed. ## Selected projects - [Dumfries Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dumfries-drive-pj-vj~2501101) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 53 - [Mallard Run Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mallard-run-bedroom-pj-vj~1958839) - Location: Katy, TX - Photos: 10 - [Baby Glam Nursery](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/baby-glam-nursery-pj-vj~1196943) - Location: Sugar Land, TX - Photos: 18 - Description: Award Winning Nursery! - [Contour Place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contour-place-pj-vj~1752072) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 12 - [Rebel Ridge Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rebel-ridge-kitchen-pj-vj~2353508) - Location: Sugar Land, TX - Photos: 17 - [Rosevale Master Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rosevale-master-suite-pj-vj~445161) - Location: Cypress, TX - Photos: 16 - [Montclair - Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/montclair-powder-room-pj-vj~1752107) - Location: Sugar Land, TX - Photos: 8 - [Country Club Boulevard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-club-boulevard-pj-vj~407796) - Location: Sugar Land, TX - Photos: 8 - [Vintage Summer Camp Boy's Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vintage-summer-camp-boy-s-room-pj-vj~771146) - Location: Sugar Land, TX - Photos: 11 - Description: Every once in a while, we get to take the reigns off and do whatever we want!

The entire thing was really outdated, badly planned, and boring. We brought it up to current using a small budget and our knowledge of what appeals to the large majority of buyers in our area. We're happy to report that the house sold after a few days on the market (before we could get our pro photographer over to take pictures of it) for higher than asking price! - [BoisCourant Place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boiscourant-place-pj-vj~712060) - Location: Sugar Land, TX - Photos: 17 - Description: This is an investment property we were hired to consult on. We chose all of the hard surface materials, all of the paint colors, countertops, and lighting. We advised on the renovation (which was carried out by another contractor) and the house sold in record time above asking price!! - [Oyster Creek Interior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oyster-creek-interior-pj-vj~702877) - Location: Sugar Land, TX - Photos: 9 - [Verde Place Lane: Her Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/verde-place-lane-her-office-pj-vj~1005976) - Location: Katy, TX - Photos: 10 - Description: Builder-grade is boring. It’s so fun when a new client reaches out because they realize this too!! When our client reached out to me AAAAALLLLLL the way from Maryland to discuss taking her new builder-finished home in Katy from boring to beautiful, I was stoked! An empty, new, builder home = a blank canvas to really get creative with! She wanted "Bold - Girly Glam" and I think that is exactly what we gave her! - [Montclair Boulevard - Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/montclair-boulevard-kitchen-pj-vj~589496) - Location: Sugar Land, TX - Photos: 7 - Description: This was one of the first kitchens we did!

A: Hi Judy! We actually made that bed ourselves! You can find a similar one at Pottery Barn, though! Thanks! **Q: bar cart** *(in Photo Questions)* who makes this cart? A: That bar cart is by Threshold for Target!! I'm not sure if they carry that exact one still, but I'm sure they carry something similar! Thanks! **Q: Who makes the light?** *(in Photo Questions)* It is great! Please let me know, thanks! A: Hi DJ! This is actually a few strings of globe lights from Target. You can find them pretty much anywhere, though! Thanks for the question! :) **Q: Wood used** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please tell me what wood was used and color(s) of the paint/stain used? A: We used a combination of yellow pine, clear pine and fir! Like I said the comments, we weren't terribly concerned about it looking too organized because it was supposed to feel like a tree house. As for the stain, I can't remember exactly what color we used, but it was a Minwax Polyshades! Thanks and good luck! **Q: beautiful backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please tell me who makes the backsplash? A: The backsplash is from Walker Zanger. I believe it was from the Studio Moderne line and was called Fretwork. Good Luck!! **Q: Love the faucets--can you please tell me what make/model?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I'm so glad you found it! Unfortunately, we store the old job files out of the office and I don't have access to the particulars of this renovation! Thanks so much for the question, though. I'm glad you like them!! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-04.*
