Melinda is the consummate professional. As an architect and a home-based baker, my wife and I wanted to hire someone for our "kitchen remodel" project that would be able to balance both of our strong design tastes and meld it into a project that would first and foremost suit my wife's needs while also being a reflection of us. Because, we live in a split-level home, the "kitchen remodel" expanded to 3 levels. Ultimately, it has transformed our whole house while keeping a warm comfortable feeling which was our desire from the beginning.
Melinda guided the project but also allowed us the flexibiliity in choosing our own touches, like the light fixtures over the island. This truly was a collaborative process from start to finish!

“What a fantastic bathroom remodel!! We worked with Melinda and her professional team on a two bathroom remodel earlier this year. The vision was on point and the result was stunning! Our master bath was a compete remodel down to the studs, with a new Shower Room with lots of shower fixtures, Soaking Tub, Floating Vanity, Heated Floors, Perfect Backlit Mirror, Towel Warmer, Plantation Shutter picture window, and Custom Closet! We also updated our Guest Bathroom with new fixtures and beautiful granite. The result was a WOW! Highly recommend Melinda and her team. We have planned a few more projects down the road as well! ”

Whether you need to update one room or redo the whole house, Fine Designs is THE place for expert help. Some of my friends say, "Hiring a decorator is expensive", but I know I couldn't have done what I needed without them. They asked what I wanted, and then found the materials and workmen to achieve a beautiful new environment for me. I'm an elderly widow, and Fine Designs helped me to stay in my own home. They saved me from expensive mistakes, and all the stress of finding and scheduling workmen. It was a fairly big, costly job, but it sure beats the nursing home! My house is beautiful and I'm so grateful to Melinda and her staff.

We used Fine Designs & Interiors for several remodel projects. They made custom window treatments for our master bedroom, sitting room, bath and dining room. My experience with Melinda and her team was great, they are extremely knowledgeable, talented and a pleasure to work with. I love what they did in each of our rooms and give them the highest rating. I definitely recommend Fine Designs & Interiors and will look to them for future projects.

Melinda's professional services in overseeing my master bathroom remodel were outstanding. She included me in decisions re: colors/materials while being conscious of my budget constraints. As the project moved along, she kept in touch with me and quickly and satisfactorily addressed any concerns I had. I knew I would be satisfied when I sought Melinda's help in the beginning. The final outcome represents my dream come true for a new master bathroom. I will definitely hire Melinda again for any future home remodels.

Melinda and her company, Fine Designs and Interiors, was a pleasure to work with. We had a walkout lower level build project and didn't know where to begin. We never worked with an interior decorator so we weren't familiar with how things were to go. We hired Melinda because we wanted something special on this house level. She came up with fantastic ideas that we would have never thought of. From lighting to flooring material, we cannot be happier! And....it was fun! She took my and my wife's wishes and improved them with wonderful products and design. We've now also used her for window coverings on the main floor and are currently working with her on our family room furniture, placement and accent items. We get so many compliments. We highly recommend hiring Melinda and her team for any projects you are thinking of!

Fine Designs and Interior remodeled the main floor. The project included new quartz countertops, solid wood floors throughout, increased size of master bath with walk in tiled shower and all new custom window treatments. The staff was professional, courteous, and very pleasant. Melinda was wonderful working with our differing styles to pull the project together.

We have completed our second decorating job with Melinda at Fine Designs and Interiors. Twelve years ago she made drapes for three rooms and helped us chose paint colors. Melinda has an amazing eye for color. We just had two bathrooms remodeled and Melinda helped us with the design as well as choosing marble, lighting, cabinets, flooring, mirriors as well as paint colors for 2 bedrooms and bathrooms. We could not be happier with the results. Melinda is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her as a designer and decorator.

Melinda was a pleasure to work with! A true professional, she came up with a perfect design for our window treatments, and helped me find some beautiful fabric! They look amazing, and I have been told our house looks like something from a magazine.

We have used Melinda and Fine Designs numerous times over the past 5 years, originally for our home and then later for our business (we own an event center and have lots of weddings, so everything has to look fabulous all the time). We have always been very happy with her designs, her finished product and her customer service. We originally met her at the home show at the Expo Center and were impressed with her display and she has exceeded our expectations since then. She is great at producing the "wow" factor too, if you want that...our 2-story red silk curtains she made ended up being featured in a local magazine on home interiors. We would highly recommend her!

Commented: How many Chandeliers?You may want to consider (depending on your style) a fan/ light combination. It can break up all the hanging chandeliers idea and still help you creat more light and interest in the room.
