We Get to Know designer and cozy minimalist Melissa Coleman from The Faux Martha.

We were thrilled to chat with Melissa, the talented designer, cook and creative behind thefauxmartha.com.  Melissa lives with great intention and a level of thoughtfulness that deeply inspires.  She's adopted minimalism into her daily life,  her kitchen, home, and even her wardrobe.  She and her husband built and designed their beautiful home which is eye candy for all of us as we follow along.  Melissa has been wildly published in places like Real Simple and Saveur.  Additionally, she has recently published her first book ​The Minimalist Kitchen which has seen record sales.  It's a cookbook but more importantly, it’s a framework for creating a minimalist kitchen, a kitchen pared down to the essentials.

In this interview, we discuss the beginnings of her blog, her book-writing experience, her many moves around the US, and her family's decision to “marry and say I do” to Minneapolis, MN where they chose to put down roots.  Melissa is real, thoughtful and down to earth and left us inspired.  We absolutely loved this chat and know you will too.
