I’m the owner of The Vintage Bee Collective and Nostalgic Home Interiors. I’m a wife, mama, dog mama and daughter. If you told me 5 years ago that I’d own two businesses, I’d think you’re out of your mind.
I’ve always been a shopper, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve loved and collected vintage items. I vividly remember my dad taking me to auctions for years before he passed away. He had a knack for finding great things, and I really enjoyed those special times with him. He also taught me how to refinish furniture. A friend and I refinished a dresser when I was in college, with his instruction and supervision. “Every job needs a supervisor”, he’d say.
Hi! I'm Melissa.

2009
One day, I picked up a little chair at an estate sale. I just saw it differently, and knew it needed a new life. So I got to sanding it, and somehow that turned into refinishing and painting a table for my mom. Then that turned into painting a couple pieces for clients of the design firm I was working for at the time.

2022
I graduated college with my Bachelor degree in Interior Design. I enjoyed learning about historical decor and furniture. Little did I know I’d be putting that education to use in this way!
I worked in many different aspects of design after school, and never really felt satisfied.
In September of 2020, I unexpectedly lost my son, Zachary, at 5 months pregnant. That event turned my world around. Instead of crawling in a hole (which I desperately wanted to do), I wrote in a journal, turned it into a blog, started exercising and eating healthier, lost 50 pounds and gained a lot of confidence.
I got so busy, I quit my job in the early summer of 2022.
I worked 3 days per week doing furniture, and the rest of the time I was home with my daughter. I felt like I needed another way to earn some money while I’m at home, so I created The Vintage Bee Collective and began selling some of the items I’d collected over the years. The interior design services happened naturally, and I find that it goes hand-in-hand with the vintage store.
“…I’ve realized that the two businesses go hand-in-hand, and my vision is finally becoming a reality. It makes me so happy to be able to offer someone an item they love and create homes that express my client's personal taste! I’m SO excited to be sharing my journey with you all! Thank you so much for being here.”
Love, Melissa

“We wanted to update a 30 year old master bath with a goal of maintaining our traditional home style yet incorporate contemporary styles. We enlisted Melissa from Nostalgic Home Interiors to develop our vision. The end result is incredibly amazing with several different tradesmen saying “magazine material”, “most beautiful bath I’ve worked on in years”, wow and incredible. Much of the credit goes to Melissa. She melded our ideas with hers calling on her experience, contacts and knowledge. She is hardworking, communicates well and is detail oriented as well as a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend Melissa for any design needs."

“Melissa refinished our bedroom set; and it came out beautifully!!!! I wasn’t sure what I wanted. I just knew I wanted something more modern and updated. I sent Melissa some ideas from Pinterest and she worked with us to create the perfect finish. Melissa was extremely professional. She was super responsive to my texts and emails. She was reasonably priced; and the project was finished on time. Our set now looks brand new!!! I can’t say enough good things about Down The Hill Woodworkers.”
