Coming soon!
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.

Welcome, friend! I’m Melissa, and this space is all about creativity, connection, and confident hosting. Whether you’re here for simple recipes, a good book, seasonal decorating tips, or a little inspiration to make everyday moments feel special—you’re in the right place!
My motto is to host with intention, not perfection —it’s about making people feel loved and welcomed (and serving up a simple yet delicious meal while you’re at it!). I love to set a pretty table with vintage keepsakes passed down to me from my mother and grandmother.
I’m also passionate about creativity in all forms—painting, home styling, gardening, estate sale shopping, and sharing beautiful, intentional living inspiration.
I have a blog homewithatwist.com - a daughter`s twist on her mother`s traditions. It`s like a love letter to my late mother. Check out my articles, and better yet, subscribe to my twice monthly emails filled with joyful content.
Stick around for a peek into my creative process. Let’s make life a little more lovely, one gathering at a time!
✨ Drop a “hi” in the comments and tell me—what’s your favorite way to welcome guests?
👩🌾There’s something magical about planting small seeds and watching them grow. Today, I’m tackling a flower bed right outside my kitchen window. I`m prepping it for pollinator seeds I`ve got coming from @americanmeadows. Hoping to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to help pollinate my yard!

Help me set my Peter Rabbit themed Easter table. I don`t own original cabbage ware plates, but dupes are popping up everywhere. I found a set at Michael`s and Target.
They`re both pretty, but I`m not sure which set I like best. Come back to see the finished table once you weigh in!
You probably have several vignettes around your home, and you don`t realize it.
Think of a vignette as a mini mood board for your home—part style, part story, all you. ✨ Start with the Rule of Three for effortless balance, add a standout piece to catch the eye, and don’t forget the sentimental touches that make it personal.
A well-styled vignette isn’t just decor—it’s a collected reflection of what you love!
