Exterior Design
and you can stop feeling overwhelmed
If your project is larger in scope, I strongly recommend finding a local team of designers and architects to not only act as your onsite advocate during construction, but to ensure that all local building codes, installation regulations and permit requirements are met.
creating architectural plans for structures like decks or pergolas
choosing furnishings and accessories for your outdoor living spaces
selecting plants or creating detailed plans for grading, retaining walls or hardscape areas
determining inspirations for basic planting and hardscape FINISHES
creating new window or door openings in a fascade
selecting door and window styles for existing openings and shapes
creating schematics for installers to use to add new lighting or run wiring
choosing finishing details like door hardware or light fixtures for existing boxes
adding or removing elements like dormers, additions or support elements
choosing paint colors & finish options for exterior siding, roofing, doors & trim
E-Design services are best for projects that do not involve major structural, architectural, or landscaping changes.
A NOTE on project scope
great for e-design:
not recommended for e-design:
Please also note: I am by no means of measure a landscape designer! I can help you determine the inspirations for your hardscape areas and talk through which plant textures or colors might compliment your renovated home. However, I cannot help you determine which hardscape materials are best, the exact plants you should use for your zone or help you design structures like retaining walls, decks, or pergolas.

"After our consultation, I felt confident.
Mel nailed it in terms of my vision for our house. I feel very excited to go from a dated looking house to one that has loads of curb appeal."
After the mid-week video, we can go back and forth with as many emails and other ideas as you'd like for the rest of the week.
At the end of the week, you'll get a final PDF, and I'll turn the Pinterest board over to you. If you need samples, I will get those ordered and shipped to you right away.
You'll end the week knowing what you want, excited for your project to get finished, and feeling confident instead of overwhelmed.

Using your photographs, I create renderings with a few different options based on your inspirations, home, and skillset.
I organize ideas for you on a private Pinterest board, with more inspirations and sources for colors, materials, and fixtures.
Within a few days, you'll get a short video presentation with all my thoughts to review. I'll clearly explain the opportunities and possibilities. You'll also receive a PDF with the proposals to reference offline.

Your questionnaire answers, the photos of your house, and the links to your inspiration are the just the start. I also want to hear what you're dreaming of, how you've gotten to this point, and what you've been overwhelmed by.
I'll email you when your consultation begins to start the conversation about your project. I'll ask more specific in depth questions to learn how I can help and what you need.
And you can email me whenever you have the time. No meetings, no calls, no stress!
It all starts with you

"Mel has helped me on several projects from across the country. The most recent project has been on the purchase of our first home in Texas. She has been a lifesaver! She did so much to understand my design style and made it fit so perfectly in to my new home. I had no idea what my design style was or what I wanted and Mel made all of those worries go away and gave me a house that I can be proud of in return! "
