Hello! My name is Melaine and I am a busy mother of 2 beautiful children, Savannah and Cody. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Chris, for 11 years now. We live on gorgeous Crystal Lake in Woodinville with our yellow lab, Hunter. In my spare time, that is, when I am not shopping, I love to paint and decorate. I have done quite a few interiors now and am always up for a new challenge! Children's rooms are my specialty, I just love getting my hands on them, the possibilities are endless! When I am not working, I love hanging out with my husband and kids, camping, traveling, or just staying at home for movie night.
