Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

Hi, I`m Melissa 👋
I`ve spent 40+ years gathering people around tables, and somewhere along the way I learned the secret: it was never about the china pattern or the perfect recipe. It was about making someone feel like they belonged at your table.
I mix Dollar Tree finds with my grandmother`s dishes. I use grocery store flowers and light a candle and call it done. I created a whole room in my house just for puzzles and cocktails and long phone calls with girlfriends.
If you`re the person who WANTS to host but keeps waiting until everything is perfect… pull up a chair. That`s exactly why I`m here.
I`m here to help you host with ease and confidence. Follow along for heirloom recipes, real hosting tips, and the occasional cocktail before dinner because… why not?
Comment HOST and I`ll send you my free Dinner Party Planner to get you started 🥂

Part two - if Netflix calls and wants me back I can show you ALL the dishes, and confessions, inside my hosting closet.
True story about the wedding shower. I haven`t stopped looking at China patterns since 1972. I finally did get the Lenox Autumn but not until recently when my bestie @catherinewhite.art and I found a set at @ltolestatesales and split it up so we could both enjoy it.
Stay with me for more dish obsession confessions! 🌟🌟🌟
