"My wife and team partner, Marcy, who handles all of our listings and has used Mella for over a year now with staging her listings with resounding success.  We decided to use her to "redo" our home.  Mella met with us and thoroughly explained the Feng Shui aspect of furniture placement and the incorporation of the 5 elements of Feng Shui using the items we already had.  The difference is overwhelming -- we couldn't be happier with the changes she suggested.  Her gentle demeanor and caring way is really an asset to her customers and I wouldn't hesitate in highly recommending her to other agents for simple staging or to those who need a complete makeover in their own homes.

I recently gave a client (buyer) a gift certificate for 3 hours of Mella’s services as they needed direction in decorating their new home.  She was able to meet them immediately at their new home to discuss paint colors and I received a message from Mrs. Buyer telling me "I looove Mella -- she just saved my marriage." She was kidding of course, but apparently her husband had very definite and different opinions about paint color choices from his wife.  Mella was able to offer them solutions that both husband and wife could agree on.

I must say I have been very impressed with her talents and her fees are very reasonable. Effective interior design, staging and harmony in a home is now within financial reach to anyone who is lucky enough to find her!"

"Accents by Mella was great!  It was really helpful to have another set of eyes look at our property from a marketing viewpoint and give us feedback on what we could and should draw attention to.  Mella was wonderful to work with--organized, professional, and attentive to details.  Her insights were very helpful.  Thank-you!"

"Dear Mella,

Thank you for helping to sell the house on San Rafael. It was such a lovely place when you finished! It had been on the market for a long time, and both the seller and I, the agent, were terribly frustrated. It was newly renovated, but cold and austere. The placement and arrangement of the decorator items were perfect!

You accented each of its best features, without overpowering the house. As I walked through right after you finished I got the feeling that it had "come alive". It sold 3 days later, at a very high price.

I hope we can work together again in the near future for staging my house listings for sale. It was a pleasure to work with you."

As always, thanks,
Madeline
