Melanie aims to create the tranquility of home whether in a primary, secondary, or commercial space with classic and timeless selections. She seeks elements that speak to her client’s point of view and history making their space a true reflection of the inhabitants. In her designs, she considers the location, architectural details and those enjoying the space creating a unique design highlighting all three elements distinctive for each client.
Each project is a unique creation. She partners with her clients, utilizing the extensive in-house studio library and her cultivated relationships with craftsmen and vendors creating beauty and optimizing function. Bringing together the potential of a space with the personal style of her client is the reward.
“Surround yourself with that which you love for a timeless space where you feel at ease. I tell the story that is uniquely you.”- Melanie

Kind Words From Past Clients:
“I have been meaning to reach out to you to let you know what an incredible job Melanie Congdon has done on my more than 1 year long project. She was so delightful and easy to work with on all aspects of the project. She has such tremendous design talent, offering me suggestions that would never have occurred to me. She also has an incredibly strong work ethic. She went above and beyond on every detail of our project, was always timely, and professional, yet warm enough that I now consider her a friend. I have worked with 3 designers in different phases of projects for this house over the past 25 years, and Melanie is by far my favorite! You have a true asset in her and I would be more than happy to recommend her to any prospective client you may have. I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. I will definitely refer her and J Banks to anyone who asks me about design services.”
