Melissa Walley
Owner & Lead Designer
I am a mother of four and one dog, all girls! Needless to say, the woman dominates my household. I have a really strong creative side and an unstoppable work ethic. Ever since I can remember, I've loved putting together spaces. Even as a young girl, I had an instinctive nature to help my mother in the home while gaining general carpenter knowledge and experience through my dad's business.
In 2012 I created an organizing business in Houston, Texas with the passion and determination to help women who were working full time with children. I have always believed that a home should be a place of peace, comfort, and love. I created many designs for efficient living spaces, custom to each space. I realized that homes needed more custom solutions for different lifestyles and different people. It was through this time period in my business that I learned that we needed our own team of people whom I could build a relationship with and trust with my designs and my cherished clients. That same year, I started Pixie Living Solutions in New Braunfels, Texas, a full-service interior design company.
I am always growing, learning, and recreating this business into the next best thing. I strive for the best of the best for each and every client. I will never stop being passionate about mindful, soulful, and beautiful spaces.
