Testimonials
What our clients had to say about our Seminars...
Melanie,
It was so great to have you back again for another Lunch
& Learn presentation. I'm already getting "thank you" emails
from some of the ladies who attended! As a matter of fact, one
lady who had a conflict at the last minute heard her co-workers
raving about you and is so sad she missed the program - she
asked if you would be doing any other presentation soon, I told
her I plan to have you back in a few months. Thanks again!

I enjoyed so much your presentation at the lunch 'n learn
yesterday. On my way home yesterday I looked through a home
magazine and saw for the first time how the pictures of those
gorgeous rooms were put together. I saw polar opposites,
architectural details, how a leopard print was just casually
thrown into a mixture of same background color pillows. From
picture to picture, all I could say was, "Wow, that's what
Melanie said!" I am so energized. I'm going to redecorate!!

What our clients had to say about our Wine and Design...
“The Wine and Design evening far exceeded my
expectations. Melanie’s presentation was educative (not a sales
pitch) and such fun. We all enjoyed it and learned so many
useful concepts. She gave us quick, inexpensive tips that we
could go and add to our rooms the next day, even on a tight
budget. We are all looking forward to our next Room Makeovers,
after seeing what she has done for other clients.”
Thanks for the enjoyable evening!

“What our Emory students say about the “Decorate to Sell” course.
I think Emory's "Center for Lifelong Learning" is very
smart to find instructors like Melanie Serra. I took her course,
"Decorated to Sell" and it was an absolute joy in every way. Ms.
Serra is NOT a "snobby designer" who decorates with only her
opinions. She listens to her clients and students and offers her
educated experience. She seems to truly love people as well as
her work. This is, indeed, reflected in her class and the way
she teaches. She is most attractive and upbeat and seems to have
endless energy. I was challenged in the in-class assignments to
see a different way of looking at things. It was a wonderful
experience and opportunity for me and I am very grateful.
