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.
