    • Our home studio featuring new shelves from @mrp_home - It’s no secret that we are bursting out of our space so recently we moved our studio space into the bigger bedroom of our home. This has pushed us to get creative with storage solutions and to make use of the height we have in this space. See the space come together over on our latest IGTV. #melissalouiseinteriors
    • We are using this down time to organize the Studio Melissa Louise home studio space. SML has always been a home run business, as we grow we have moved from room to room. Now with meetings cancelled and work slowing down while we all practice social/physical distancing I’m taking the time to organize and style the new studio space. *This is not sponsored. (I have worked with @homewarestore in the past but have always shopped there, they have stylish and affordable homeware which is why I love and continue to support the brand.)
    • UPDATED 19 MARCH 2020: What a unsettling time to be enduring… It has been a tough few days for us, as for many small businesses - events are being cancelled, projects have come to a halt and the uncertainty of what’s next is taking over. We are doing our best to keep things relaxed and working from home while we all work on #flatteningthecurve , Our Saturday 21st March workshop HAS BEEN POSTPONED. Keeping our guests, work-family and loved ones safe is our highest priority AND SO THIS SEEMS THE BEST THING TO DO RIGHT NOW. In light of our Presidents speech (Sunday 15 March) on how serious the Covid-19 Virus is becoming, we have decided to postpone future workshops indefinitely. Lets keep supporting each other and working from a distance. A quote from JoJo Rabbit (which everyone should watch) - “Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.” - Rainer Maria Rilke
