Hi, I’m Melissa Michaels,
creator of The Inspired Room

My philosophy has always been that our dwellings—both our home and body—are intricately connected. Each has the potential to inspire the other to be its very best. The relationship between how we feel, the way we live, and the home we live in is as inspiring as it is important. Join me as we explore the simple choices and changes we can all make to create a healthy, happy life.
