Over the last five years my wife and I have worked with Melanie through stages, decorating our home.  What impressed me the most was at our initial meeting when my wife and I described our style, likes and dislikes, from that point on Melanie truly seemed to nail it from every aspect and capture the essence of what we were looking for.

The process was so efficient that after purchasing a 16,000 sq. ft. office space I decided to work with Melanie from a commercial perspective.  She once again was efficient and terrific to work with throughout the entire process.  The results were impressive.  Every time a new guest enters my personal office the conversation never fails to begin with the décor and how much they like it.

Without any hesitation I would highly recommend Melanie for any residential or commercial needs.

We felt very comfortable working with MDK Design Associates because of her experience and reputation. Building a home is very overwhelming with so many decisions to be made, she was incredible in coming up with design ideas and materials that we never would have thought of using. Her design and management skills have given us beautiful new living space.

Melanie always had a positive attitude and is an impeccable professional with her clients, vendors and contractors. Everyone always looked forward to having her on the job, she’s fun, has a great personality, sense of humor, is easy to speak to, and is very, very committed to her clients. She made us feel like we were her only clients.  She was in-tune with our style and personalities and presented us with unique ideas that represented who we are.

Your knowledge of the construction process and your resources made our project very easy. You spent so much time with us, you also became a friend. You were very responsive and a great designer, we look forward doing future projects together.

It was a pleasure working with Melanie. The final look exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier.

We were building a 10,000 sq ft home and we hired Melanie to provide us with distinctive design ideas and manage the project. Both my husband and I work and needed someone we can trust with the project of this size that really understands design, construction, management and our style. Melanie exceeded our expectations, really nailing every design idea for each space.

Melanie did an amazing job keeping the entire look of the house consistent; the rooms flowed into each other effortlessly. She designed everything in our home, all ceilings, window treatments, kitchen bathrooms, tiles, woodwork, color scheme, wall covering, stonework and all of the furniture and decorating. She's a great designer - her ideas for materials, colors, design, layout, functionality, etc. are fabulous. We absolutely could not have done the project without her.

MDK Designs and her professionals are experienced, detail oriented and well organized. Working with them was very easy and pleasant. Melanie is very detail oriented, clear in her communication and extremely organized. She was always very punctual and qualified in designing. She is the true example of why people should hire a designer. She designed our condo in Boston and our beach house in Nantucket with excellence, beauty and elegance. VK, Boston.

There is no feeling like building and designing the custom home of your dreams and having your friends and family come over and are taken aback by the beauty. Every time people come over they discover some new detail they missed the first time. Thanks to Melanie she gave us that great feeling by creating a stunning environment. Every inch of the house has some design detail that showcases her design expertise.

Melanie coordinated every aspect of interior and exterior space form the kitchen and bathroom designs, to selection of tile design, lighting fixtures, staircase railings, knobs, fixtures, furniture, window treatments, ceiling designs, railing etc. Our project is a true example of how important it is to hire qualified designer that understands proper design harmonization.

Working with MDK Designs was a great experience. Melanie has great style and her design sense is right on target. She has this ability to read her clients; it’s like she was inside our brain and designed exactly what we envisioned. Her understanding of her clients makes the job move quicker and efficiently. The best part of working with Melanie is that we never had to leave our home to do one thing.

She brought everything to us including her detailed presentation, fabrics samples, drawings etc. Her knowledge of furniture, material and understanding quality made us trust her recommendations and decisions. The most rewarding part was not only did she create an exceptional space which we will always enjoy; she did with-in our budget. She is a very talented designer and we would work with her again.

I am a developer who has hired MDK to work on several of our homes throughout the years; she treated each one with the same amount of dedication and enthusiasm whether big or small. As good as her design sense is it is really her experience and knowledge in the process of building and construction, and making the myriad of difficult decisions required in a new home or remodel.

She is very skilled in prioritizing what needs to be done next to keep the project on schedule. Her design and organization skills were evident as we had to finalize decisions to create a well-designed home. She easily accomplished this each time creating a space that spoke volumes.
