Marlee Melbert's Whimsical Room
Marlee Melbert's Whimsical Room

Stepping into Marlee Melbert’s bedroom is stepping into a whimsical world. Living in a cozy cottage with some of her closest friends, she filled her room with her favorite and most meaningful objects. College housing is famously perplexing to style and make home-y, but Marlee does it with ease: bringing in homemade dried flower bouquets, antiques and wicker furniture she adores, tons of books, and as many plants as possible. We adore her living space and sat down with her to ask her about it.
