Polished Habitat: Tulsa Home Interiors & Organization Blogger

We first met Melissa George as a customer buying succulents at our shop. We soon learned that we shared more than just a love of succulents when she told us she quit her professional day job to pursue a creative career. Melissa now runs a successful home interiors + organization blog, Polished Habitat, and even teaches others how to get into the blogging world.
