I recently purchased a townhouse that needed updating and multiple modifications. I needed a designer that would educate me on the process, provide me with options, be budget focused and manage the contractor. I knew with my first meeting with Melissia that Schulz Design would meet my needs.
Specifically, Melissia got to know my likes and dislikes, incorporated my important furniture and art pieces, worked with me on budget, offered me options, managed the contractor and pushed me to try new things. Even with all the details, the process was fun, educational and we laughed.

Without question, the best experience with home remodel and interior design Ive ever had. Melissia stayed on timelines, communicated on every detail, stayed within budget and created an amazing space exactly to our taste. We love our home thanks to Melissia! I can not recommend Shultz Design enough and we will be using Melissias services for any home project going forward.
