Melinda designed our new home for us, and we love the plans. We’ve gotten nothing but compliments on it, and the entire process with her was smooth and professional from start to finish. We just had company over for Thanksgiving and many of my relatives complimented our laundry room which is part of our master bedroom closet. That laundry room was 100% Melinda’s idea, and everyone who sees my house wants to steal it. **★★★★★ — Shannon Sheldon, Dec. 2019** > Melinda did a fantastic job with our house plans!
