ABOUT MELISSA

If you love painting and color wrapped up with a bohemian vibe, you will feel right at home here! This is where furniture meets art!

​

I'm Melissa, the artist and owner behind The Top Drawer RVA. This blog is filled with DIY ideas, bohemian painting, and bringing life back into old unwanted furniture. 

​

I am a Brand Ambassador with Dixie Belle Paint Company and WoodUbend. I love to teach and have many videos up on IGTV and YouTube! I am a Social Media Coach, helping others grow and learn to increase your social media presence online. 

​

The Top Drawer was created out of a passion for paint, color and upcycling vintage finds. I love nothing more than taking old, broken furniture and creating a whole new look. Finding the beauty hidden behind the age, taking those vintage features and letting them shine! 

​

I'm a avid thrifter, with a eye for new trends and styles. Follow along on my journey to rescue the old ugly duckling furniture and create something new and magical.
