For Michigan-based interior designer, event stylist, photographer, and florist Melanie Marshall, creativity is a way of life. Her shop, Happy Pretty, brims with furnishings, giftware, and a weekend bloom bar. The Downtown Midland atelier also serves as a gallery for the artist’s original paintings and a studio for classes and special projects. Along with wisdom gleaned from her journey to entrepreneurship, Melanie offers ideas for cultivating gracious interiors.
