STYLE/DESIGN QUOTE…My personal style is an eclectic mix of pieces I have collected and found throughout the years to create a warm transitional environment. I believe comfort can be exquisite! I enjoy creating a color palette that has one or two threads of color that are consistent throughout all of my interior spaces. Neutral backgrounds with splashes of color allow me to bring color through art and accessories. My personal design advice… have fun with your space, don’t be afraid of color and take risks. C U R E can assist you in creating a space that reflects your own taste and style.
We want to be your Design C U R E!

SENIOR DESIGNER

BIOGRAPHY

After graduating from the University of Missouri, K.C., I spent my days raising our three boys. However, my interest in fashion and interior design kept me reading and taking classes in the design field. After working in a high-end retail fashion store in St. Louis, I realized that putting together assorted fabrics, textures and styles was a passion. After decorating my own home, and those of family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, I realized that my passion and “eye” for fashion work equally well in interior design. I have built some of my strongest relationships through the opportunity of creating spaces for my clients over the years. I will learn your lifestyle and taste, and working with you, I will create a design that exceeds your expectations.

“STYLE/DESIGN QUOTE”…

An eclectic mix of traditional with a funky twist! A touch of animal print, bright, fun colors and mixing in unexpected pieces creates an atmosphere people want to spend time in. Infusing antiques, family heirlooms or a special piece from a vacation with newly acquired pieces reflects a family’s lifestyle and truly makes it feel like home.

SENIOR DESIGNER

BIOGRAPHY

My diverse background in traveling, arts and the desire for all new trends, lends me the opportunity to have the ability create one of a kind spaces for my clients. Armed with a degree in Interior Design and over 6+ years experience, I have designed all environments from high-end residential homes to commercial spaces throughout the St. Louis area, from restaurants, healthcare facilities to common areas at private high-rise condominiums. Design is a passion I carry with me everyday and through my creativity I am able to pass that along to my clients in their spaces.

“STYLE/DESIGN QUOTE”…

“I don’t want someone to walk into a space I’ve done and say to my client, ‘Megan Mitchell did this.’ I want them to say WOW you have and amazing space…I want to live here!”When I design a client’s home, I always incorporate the clients own pieces combining them with unique textures, architectural elements, luxurious fabrics and pops of color to create one-of-a-kind interiors. Good design doesn’t always mean high-end and expensive. It’s the ability to transform a space using the creative eye and always focus on the client’s needs.My personal style…is one represented through clean lines and recasting classic elements into modern settings.

ASSOCIATE DESIGNER

BIOGRAPHY

My entire adult life I’ve been passionate about all things interior design. After receiving my degree in Interior Design with an emphasis in Architectural Design, I have worked in Visual Merchandising, Residential Design and in Commercial Design for a national retailer; my heart is and always has been in any design position that allows me to provide my clients with the utmost stylized space for their taste and function. It has been my pledge for over 12 years to create new spaces by fulfilling the parameters set by the client while communicating openly and working together, to use the most current techniques and strategies to propose innovative designs, and to develop and install new environments with creativity, knowledge and excellence. Nothing makes me happier than to see a client swoon over their re-decorated, remodeled, or renovated area.

“STYLE/DESIGN QUOTE”…

Being of creative mind and having access to a plethora of design styles, I find it difficult to place “Melanie” in a box; I simply like a little bit of everything! Having said that, my personal style may be viewed as comfortable-modern-eclectic. When I look around my home I see neutral bases with pops of style and color throughout, allowing me to adapt and reinvent easily when I see something new to incorporate. I tend to use various layers of textures, patterns, and materials to complete the milieu. Just as one of my favorite Architects/ Designer, Charles Eames, stated, “The details are not the details. They make the design.”
