**★★★★★ — Kendall Montgomery, July 2022**

> Mel assisted me 8 years ago transform my boring builder grade house into a sleek contemporary light filled home within my budget.
>
> She did such a wonderful job I have engaged her to assist with the construction and design of a $2 million custom home.
>
> Could not do it without her!

**★★★★★ — Carol Measom, Feb. 2015**

> Los Cabos Residence, August 2013:
> Mel is an outstanding professional.  She understood exactly what I wanted from the first meeting.  She decorated my entire beachfront home from the architectural plans.  Upon arrival to the house to do the installation, she was a pleasure to watch in action.  She encouraged me to relax and let her do her magic.
>
> Houston Residence:  12/26/2015
> Mel, is finishing her second project with us.  What I call our " Sexy City Chic" home.  That's exactly what I told her I wanted it's style to be and she exceeded my expectations yet again.  After we closed on the new home, Mel went to work making this beautiful house into a showstopper home.
>
> She has exquisite taste.  Her contractors are very professional and I appreciate how she handles them and their work.  She is courteous and patient with all who work for her, even though she has high expectations and demands the best for her clients.
>
> Everyone who enters our new home is blown away by the beautiful details and says that it looks just like us.  And to me that's a very important part of hiring a professional to help you design and decorate.  They need to understand your style and how you will live in it--and that's exactly what Mel does.
>
> If you want your home to look "Architectural Digest worthy" or "Elle Decor fabulous", you need to contact Mel and put your home in her incredibly talented hands.  She's fantastic!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Table** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please tell me who makes dining table? Thanks.

A: In Houston, they are manufactured by the owner of a company called Vieux.

**Q: Love the herringbone floor** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me the width of the floor and type

A: I would say that this width is approximately 5" per plank.

This is a custom application floor of Antique French Oak.

Hope that helps!

**Q: TOP BAGNO** *(in Photo Questions)*

Posso sapere dove trovare questo articolo?

A: The countertop is a solid slab piece of Mesquite wood with a live edge (the organic shape of the front edge).
This slab was provided by my bespoke flooring contractor as he has access and knowledge of the best type of wood for this sort of application and he uses the correct type of oil product to give it the best finish possible.
It has been extremely successful and I hope this information has been useful!

Mel

**Q: What are the cabinets made of?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This was either rift sawn white oak or quarter sawn white oak with a specialty finish applied by a local craftsman.
Hope that helps!

**Q: Who is the architect to this project? :)** *(in Photo Questions)*

Who is the architect to this project? :)

A: Lake/Flato Architects out of San Antonio Texas

**Q: Love this bathroom, well done.** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi

could you please share more photos of this bathroom sink and how did you fix this to the wall.  I am working on my bathroom and have chosen the marble top but the issue is how to add those cupboards and how to fix the whole thing to the wall.  Many thanks

A: I'm sorry, I have no more photos to share. But do note that these were installed by a turnkey company for the cabinets and counters and the sinks themselves sit on top as they are vessel sinks.

If you are considering doing a project like this for your home, it is imperative that your structure is securely attached to the wall behind the sheetrock to create that floating look. Highly recommend that you let a contractor do this for you.

Hope that helps.
