ABOUT MELINDA

---

Melinda first opened Surroundings as an interior Design Consulting firm in 1994 shortly after graduating from West Virginia University. The business quickly evolved into a retail shop featuring the "marketable version" of her every day life. The shop is filled with all the lovely things that Melinda has cultivated into her own signature style...casual opulence.

Melinda has appeared on television shows such as:

NBC's Later Today

Discovery Channel's Home Matters

HGTV's The Almanac with Willard Scott

Lifetime's Our Home

Oxygen's Pure Oxygen

Melinda's home and business have been featured in multiple issues of Woman's Day and Budget Decorating Ideas.

Surroundings is located on the beautiful island of Sanibel
in Florida. The shop now includes the added beauty of sea air
and beautiful sunsets.

Melinda continues to write and illustrate beautifully whimsical
children's stories, and this year she has embarked on an
exciting new project... she is writing her first book! This
promises to be a wonderful new chapter in her life.
