Meet Kansas City-based Interior Designer Melissa Palmer

Hey there! I’m Melissa, an interior decorator based in Kansas City.

My passion in work is creating inspired, timeless designs within the home that evoke a sense of warmth, comfort, and sophistication.

I appreciate quality craftsmanship, but I also understand how to mix heirloom pieces with everyday styling in order to elevate a space without breaking the bank.

At home I love to entertain, cook, and spend time with my two daughters and husband.

Testimonials

★★★★★ 5/5

“We were overwhelmed when we moved into our new home, so we turned to Melissa.

She guided us through the design process, turning our vision into a reality and making it fun along the way!

Three years later, we're still receiving compliments on her work and can't wait to complete the remaining rooms!”

I’m about to take a moment to enjoy a cup of cof

I’m about to take a moment to enjoy a cup of coffee right here before school pick up. The older I get the more I realize what taking a moment for myself, in the car or at home, with no work, no to do lists, just quite, does for my ability to show up for everyone else for the rest of the day. What a luxury a few moments of quiet is these days, I hope you all get a few too.

Wait for it… When everyone is feeling Friday nig

Wait for it… When everyone is feeling Friday night just as they intended but you still need to post. 😅

You know me, I love a nook moment. This original L

You know me, I love a nook moment. This original L shaped kitchen made the design of this small space a little tricky but I love how this cozy nook came together.

I grounded this narrow space with a small black pedestal table, and paired it with this tailored, neutral striped linen bench, hugging the wall to allow as much walkable space around the table as possible. The arched back bamboo chairs add an unexpected element. The table still makes a bold statement next to the warm white kitchen but paired with this cozy, muted seating, we’ve created a more inviting experience for this family and their guests. We installed a pendent and added a pop of muted color with this wall art that makes it clear that this space was in fact, intentional.

As a self taught interior designer I spend a lot of time in my work researching why a space works and the more I learn the more I feel confident to share. Would this be something you would enjoy learning along with me? Leave your comments below.

As always, thanks for following along!

This space is quickly becoming my favorite room in the house. Now that the sconces are up, I think it’s time for a dinner party. Who else is excited to host for the holidays?!

I’m really having some fun styling for Halloween

I’m really having some fun styling for Halloween this year. Here’s an easy DIY Ghost family made with materials I guarantee you already have in your house.

1. Cheesecloth (or) Old white sheets (or) old White T- Shirts
2. Stem wine glasses for taller Ghosts/ Stemless for shorter Ghosts.
3. Old round Christmas Ornaments
4. Mini bowls (or) mini cake stands (or) plate stacked on Ramekin (or) stacked books for styling different height Ghost.
5. Black Felt (or) old black T- shirt
6. Fairy Lights (optional)

I love how these turned out, my little Ghosts did too. 👻 👻 👻 👻

Happy Decorating!

(I do realize this song is in fact about skeletons not Ghosts… Just wanted to note that… 😂)

I’ve wanted to try to make this bubbling cauldron for a while now. It turned out so cute and It couldn’t be easier! I know my girls are going to flip when they get home from school when they realize it changes color. I found everything you see here on Amazon. Happy Halloween crafting! 🧙 👻 🎃

We spent the last few days in the Ozark Mountains, Glamping at Camp Long Creek with great friends. What an experience! I just had to share this place for those who don’t know about it, you should. The Midwest has so much beauty, and these few pictures don’t do it justice. We will be back for sure!

Since our renovation is still tied up, we decided to make this house feel like home in its current condition. New hardware and styling sure did make a difference and it gave me just a little more patience.

One of my favorite things about working with old houses is that they tend to have these sweet little nooks that I get to play with. We opted for a cafe curtain instead of cabinet doors to bring softness and charm to this built in. I love how the sweet little cushion invites you to come take seat. This is my kind of nook.
