Context

I worked with Melissa on a some recent projects. I found her very helpful with gathering the information I needed for my part of the work to be done. She was also helpful and friendly with the customers. We communicated well with design, logistics and finishes. I look forward to doing more projects together.

Corrado's Design Center have developed a great relationship with Melissa over the past few years. She is easy to work with. She has her clients best interest at heart. Melissa has a creative "Out of the box" concept. Her spacial, textural, pattern and color aesthetic is unique and fun! When choosing tiles and counter tops it is evident that she listens to her clients and stays within their budget.

I hired Melissa for "boot camp" and she transformed several rooms using things I already owned in her first visit! She helped me prioritize amongst all my ideas and, at my request, gently eased me into a new, more updated comfort zone. She is a very good, patient listener with a great eye!

We began to work with Melissa on what was a complete decorating project for a new condo. Melissa brought great ideas to the table and was flexible in meeting our time challenges with our calendar. Although we ended up going on our own to decorate and make our major purchases, Melissa was a great sounding board, gave us her time and advice and had the utmost patience with us. She was a true professional in every way.

My husband and I acquired my late parents’ home and found ourselves surrounded by three generations of family heirlooms, flea market finds and a mishmash of fine ornamentals and kitschy bric-a-brac. Now it was our turn to make the house our home. We were overwhelmed and underprepared for the task. I contacted Melissa from Context. We arranged a site visit that was convenient for all of us. She arrived with a notepad in hand and a keen eye for all of the house’s potential. In 3 hours she provided us with fantastic direction and we are now very excited about the pending improvements she recommended. Melissa proposed small and medium sized improvements that can be folded right into possible major improvements in the future as time and budget allow. She looked at the space and developed wonderful new ideas taking into consideration our preferences and physical needs. Melissa offers a full range of services including architecture, furniture, and color tones. We are taking advantage of the industry contacts she has to provide us with associated professional services and meet our home improvement retail needs. We absolutely recommend her for your interior design needs.

We've been working with Melissa on a full-house renovation of an 80-s styled salt-box to bring it into the modern era. This is an expensive renovation since we are doing the full house, but Melissa has helped us tremendously by finding high-quality materials at value prices. We are very picky clients, and Melissa has worked with all of our sometimes crazy requests without complaint. She's brought innovative ideas that are helping to make our house a modern masterpiece! I cannot recommend her enough!

Melissa and I are still working on pulling my living room together but so far things are going really well. We see eye to eye on design and her encouragement and professionalism has been crucial. She is committed to making a rather ho-hum room (architecturally) into a warm space which will also be enticing style-wise while staying within my budget. I'm really enjoying the changes we've already put in place and I only get compliments from guests.

Melissa was very helpful at helping me decide the types of colors and look I wanted . She was highly attentive to details , listened well and offered several solutions to how I should paint the outside of my home and design my living room.

Very helpful and informed. I highly recommend her to one wishing to do a renovation. A nice person to work with.

We hired Melissa for a color consultation and some general design advice. She was very patient with us (as we had no idea what we wanted!) and came out over a few visits to help us get a better idea of color palettes for our main living area, and ordered several large swatches for us to consider our choices before taking the final leap.

I love Context: Melissa Cohen has a great eye, and above all she is flexible. She worked *for* me, not *at* me, by listening to my needs and then providing lots of options within my parameters. She investigated many design solutions I had never thought of before. Some were very clever and unique; all were well researched. We discussed all the ins and outs of these options. Eye-opening work.

Melissa is a great design and project partner. She saw things we didn't see ourselves, and helped define our project in an excellent way, while deeply respecting and understanding our own tastes. I'm so glad we worked with Melissa. We're so happy with the results and would definitely do it again.
