Melody Hill Design

Shelly was amazing! From start to finish she paid attention to what we wanted and took the time to make sure our job was completed to our satisfaction. Shelly did a wonderful job picking out everything with our input. From the paint colors, tile, fixtures, lighting, wallpaper, furniture, rugs and decor items everything came together beautifully and we could not be happier. We highly recommend Melody Hill Design for any of your design needs!

Working with Shelly is great! She has amazing tools to let you visualize the plan, she is very responsive and a great thought partner along the way. I had the vision in my head for a full house renovation and she helped me bring it to life with an executable plan for my contractor and made it better at each step.

We have worked with Shelly at Melody Hill on several projects over the past few years. Collaborating with Shelly for interior design and space planning has been beneficial for us due to her experience in project management and her understanding of the construction process. Shelly is an excellent communicator, both with us as a contractor and with our clients. She is mindful of the set budgets and helps our clients with their design and selection process. Our projects have been successful, on budget, and within the timeline because Shelly follows through on her commitments.

We worked with Shelly on remodel designs for our primary bedroom and en suite in our downtown Minneapolis townhome. She was terrific! The design process began with her taking meticulous notes about our dream remodel, our style, and importantly, the look we did, and didn't want. She was always on-time for our in-person meetings, provided very thoughtful design options, and was patient as we worked through selecting materials. A true professional who I would highly recommend!

I purchased a house that needed a big redesign: a new layout, a new kitchen, a new look. I'm a first-time homeowner and have never remodeled anything. Or even worked with a designer. I knew the home needed an overhaul but couldn't picture it myself. Shelly made what I'm sure can be a stressful project a pleasure. She was responsive, communicative and creative. Shelly was a great listener and really understood my aesthetic. She was very clear about how she charges for her services and gave accurate and itemized invoices. And helped me make decisions when I second-guessed myself. I was so nervous about taking this project on because I've heard the horror stories. But from beginning to end it went smoothly, and I couldn't be more grateful. I love my new space, I've received so many compliments on it, and I've recommended Melody Hill Design to several people. Thank you, Shelly!

We couldn't have built our new house without the help from Shelly at Melody Hill Design. She helped us get organized from the start and explained the whole process so well. She was willing to be as involved as we wanted. Sometimes it was just to ask her opinion on something I was looking at, and sometimes it was her giving us the options she thought would be best. It was so helpful to know she was on our team and was always just a phone call or text away to set my mind at ease about the next selection. Shelly listened well and understood the look we were going for. Her ideas were exciting, fresh and very thoughtful. She always validated our ideas but brought a good perspective on how to consider different options. Now looking at our finished home, I realize just how important every decision was that we made with her and we couldn't be happier with our finished product. Shelly helped us with everything including lighting, flooring, paint colors, all hardware, cabinet design, fireplace design, bathroom planning, furniture and overall design consultation. Working with Shelly was so relaxing and fun and I would highly recommend her to anyone ready to jump into anything from a whole house build to a small remodel or redesign.

We had a great experience working with Shelly and Melody Hill Design. Shelly's expertise and ability to see a vision and put it on paper to scale was super helpful. Most importantly Shelly listened to what we were looking to accomplish in our kitchen remodel and created a finished product that was amazing and way beyond what we expected while remaining well within our budget.

I would recommend Melody Hill Design any day to anyone! Shelly has helped us with a number of projects. We’ve been slowly updating/remodeling our home. She has been a much needed third party when working with contractors on new kitchen countertops and retrofitting a hood over our stove. She’s helped us locate and order appliances, paint and hardware. Recently she helped us design all the new lighting in our house, and we couldn’t be happier. She gave us many options at many different price points. She really listens to what the customer wants, and instead of pushing ideas onto the client, she works with you to find and fulfill YOUR vision and style. That said, she has an excellent eye for what works and what doesn’t, and we were grateful she was there to to give her invaluable opinions and design recommendations. She is excellent at managing multiple projects and contractors, keeping you up-to-date on order and installation timelines. I’ve been most impressed with her professionalism. She is knowledgeable, reliable, and detail-oriented. She takes on the daunting coordination of building contractors, suppliers, plumbers, electricians, tile companies etc, so you don’t have to. She’s truly been a god-sent on these projects! She follows up, proactively communicating with the client on issues, timelines, etc. She is a wealth of knowledge and connections. If she can’t help you with something, she will find someone who can. And to top it off, her sweet and patient personality puts you at ease. I just love working with her! Again, would recommend her to anyone! Can’t say enough.

Shelly’s expertise made the renovation process so much more manageable and stress-free for us. With her thoughtful design help, I was confident the work would look great and suit our needs. Everything she helped us with looks amazing and we are so pleased with how it turned out! She was so easy to work with, extremely organized and took care of so many details that it was a wonderful experience.

Shelly is fantastic to work with! We worked with her on a whole house remodel where we touched every surface, including moving walls and reconfiguring spaces (i.e., turning a bedroom into a master bath). Shelly helped us develop a vision for what our house could be and then helped us achieve that vision. She is a pleasure to work with and has impeccable taste. I have recommended Shelly to several people and will continue to do so.

We had a wonderful experience working with Shelly, Melody Hill Design owner/designer! We have a large remodeling project and Shelly has been a true partner in designing our new space. She incorporated our “must haves” and provided thoughtful and beautiful design options on the areas that we needed her expertise. We love the final layout and design! She’s very easy to work with, is very responsive, and the floor plans + design renderings have been used to solicit several bids. We look forward to continuing to consult with her through the completion of our remodel.

Working with Shelly Peschel of Melody Hill Design could not have been a better experience--very fun and easy. I greatly appreciated her professional expertise, keen eye toward detail/color/design, breadth and depth of knowledge and relaxed style. I felt so comfortable with Shelly and appreciated her help when I was uncertain or indecisive. She understood the overall aesthetic we were looking for and helped us create two beautiful bathrooms. Highly recommend!
