I've read The Inspired Room cover to cover, and it's going to be one of the most useful books I've ever owned. Melissa is a great teacher, and designer, and is so very humble, and she just has that 'you can do it' spirit about her.
-Sandy Coughlin, Reluctant Entertainer
Melissa feels it's important to 'use what quality pieces you have to become the building blocks for your style.' There are so many welcome tips in The Inspired Room to help guide you when uncertainty with your decorating process steps in. The helpful hints prod you to gently move forward with your changes but remind you to stay true to yourself and your family. I love that.

The Inspired Room is a gorgeous book. I know I'm supposed to love the home I have, but I want to climb in and live in this book! Okay, seriously, it's filled with beautiful inspiration but also practical tips that someone (like me) who's not quite as gifted in the decorating department can handle. Melissa is warm, down-to-earth, and exactly the kind of friend you want to come beside you and help turn your house into a home you can love and use to love others.
