Spectacular Homes of Georgia

Geometric Elegance

A bold stroke of crimson ignites this otherwise quiet, contemporary dining room. The two tone chocolate and mocha tones set the stage with accents of platinum in the lighting fixture and shimmer of bronzes, silvers, and golds in the centerpiece. The mirror is actually a scarlet mosaic trimmed in gold and reflects the high gloss finish of the exotic wood table and chairs. The rug mirrors the geometric aesthetic.

Entertaining with Drama and Flair

Melissa has created the media and dining room for a former pro basketball player and his family, who is now a successful real estate agent.

The slate fireplace really makes the statement in this room. The rich espresso leather sectional is complemented by the cracked glass table on burnished bronze and platinum legs. The walls are dressed in a ragged glaze over Indian Hills gold, adding depth and interest. Artwork and collectibles are arranged for visual interest, a personal mix of glass, lacquer, and ceramics hand crafted.





Casual Elegance

This terrace level guest room is an eclectic fantasy in moss greens, terracotta, and blue. The soft curves of the wrought iron bed are in a bronze finish. The night tables are a collected pair displaying unique lamps. The window treatments are butterfly style panels which provide a simple, but effective means of privacy and light control.
This is a model home designed to provide a rustic getaway for long weekends and eventually a home for retirement.




Film Fanatics Only

This media room beckons with oversized custom movie loungers, in charcoal suede with individual cup holders in red mahogany. The floor has a wall-to-wall black and gold carpet in level loop, commercial grade for durability. The walls are dressed in a cabernet stripe texture paper, and movie strip lights accent. Posters were selected by the client and backed without glass to avoid glare. A built-in in satin black lacquer houses the electronics and collectibles.
Melissa created this media room for a successful pediatrician and his wife, living in Marietta GA.

Timberlake Views

Melissa is the great-granddaughter of Frank Lloyd Wright — the iconic American architect who believed “the space within becomes the reality of the building.”

As if this weren't prestige enough, her mother was the famous actress Anne Baxter.

Through her presentations, Melissa helps individuals discover how to become their own architect, using that “space within” (core values, dreams, and desires) to create an all-new reality.
