Designer's Eye by Melissa Franey

Believe it or not….its time. 🫣. We have started scheduling for Christmas decorating and because Thanksgiving is late, we have a few open spots. We do trees, mantles, staircases, mirrors, entryways, front doors, mailboxes, outdoor pots and more. Message me today for an appointment!

Remembering a sweet friend and client today.

This was a total transformation. My clients had a nice sized kitchen but it was dark and closed in with a table they never used. We changed the footprint to open it up, added a pantry instead of the desk and created a beautiful focal point with the range and window. There’s so much storage and prep space with the large island…not to mention the built in seating. We used a soft cream for the cabinets and a warm wood for the island and chairs.

My clients bought a family home and really made it their own. We opened up the wall between the kitchen and living room and added a ton of storage. I love that they took a lovely, sentimental home and updated it to function for them.

From a dark and dated office… to a chic and cozy reading room. So many sweet details in this room that were customized specifically for my client. Give us a call so we can design something for you!

One of my favorite projects for sure! These clients were on board with funky carpet and modern finishes for their basement entertainment space. Custom cabinets, custom lighting and a gorgeous porcelain tv wall are just a few of the spectacular details. We also chose a soapstone look quartz with a waterfall side and front for the bar along with beautiful, gold metal backsplash. We added new door fronts for the bar cabinets and painted them a rich blue.

Cabinet’s Unlimited for the custom cabinetry
Wilson’s Custom flooring for the porcelain wall and tile

All the custom details in this bathroom make it elegant and classic. We added so much custom storage and created a wider, walk-in shower. The sculpted backsplash and checkerboard floor are some of my favorite details.

We’ve seen some truly beautiful furniture and decor this week in High Point and are full of inspiration. If you have a project youd like to tackle, give us a call. Enjoy a few shots we took along the way.

Need an update to your office or lobby? We do commercial spaces as well.

This one was a complete transformation with beautiful vinyl flooring and a little paint and wallpaper. The updates made the stained wood relevant again and the whole lobby is so much brighter now.

Wallpaper is a great addition to level up your bathroom, dining space or even just an accent wall. This is not your 90’s paper and goes up/down much easier. Give me a call if you’re ready to elevate your space. I have many different books for each style and color.

Another kitchen reno in the books! We created a large cased opening between the dining/living room and kitchen and completely changed the footprint to allow for a larger layout and island.

We completely transformed this kitchen by creating a larger cased opening into the dining room and extending the kitchen a few feet into the sitting area. We changed the layout for better function and flow and it feels so much larger. Custom cabinets and marble backsplash make this a luxurious, dream kitchen.

Sometimes choosing the right furnitire layout and adding an wallpaper accent wall can completely transform a space. Give me a call if you need some wallpaper ideas or need help with furniture placement.

Not all jobs are a complete gut. We kept the paint, flooring and dining set. We added in some beautiful new furniture and accessories along with some rugs and completely updated this space. We also moved the tv to a side wall for better flow. The space is so light and beautiful now.

We completely transformed this kitchen with the removal a few walls and by reworking the layout in the kitchen. We added a ton of cabinet/pantry space and really brightened up the kitchen. New flooring tied the two rooms together and opened up the two spaces.

New year…new projects! Give us a call today if you’re ready to update your kitchen, bath or just need a refresh in one of your spaces. This is a new addition we recently completed.

Well…that’s a wrap folks! We decorated about 80 trees, 30+mantles, 15 pots, 10 staircases and a partridge in a pear tree. Thank you so much to all of our amazing clients for trusting us with your homes. We appreciate your friendship and business and look forward to all the new design projects in 2024.

Merry Christmas!

Pots, trees, mantles and more….only a few more to go

We certainly do quite a few “non-traditional” Christmas trees. We do some all white, some with just green and have been doing more blue over the past few years. It’s always fun to do something different so we really enjoy these.

Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving! Thank you to all of our clients and friends.

Some of our mantels are very simple and some are elaborate. We really work to customize the style and look of our design for each client. What’s your favorite style?

Christmas season is rolling and we have been busy the last two weeks. Who else has their house decorated?
