Melissa Dayton Handpainted Wallpaper designed to be the backdrop to a family’s story. Welcome! The home is where the making of a family happens in the rhythm of each day.

Inspired by New England coastal homes, English country interiors https://shop.melissadayton.com/ I am so happy you found my newly designed fabrics and wallpaper--and art prints and products with my art. A life inspired by the rich color pallets of the coast of Connecticut and raising my family on the beaches of New Jersey led to their creation. While classic motifs have inspired my collections, I've added a bit of fun for today's family. Creating a peaceful warm space for your family and friends to spend time together is essential. I designed these patterns to help you create the space for your family to write their story. While they may not remember the paper (you will), they will remember how the home made them feel. Speaking/writing:

"It was an amazing and inspiring presentation"


Melissa Dayton You Can NOT Be Replaced 2
Restoration of hearts and healing souls through stories of imperfection, humor, patience and the love of God

My husband and I have 8 children, two grandchildren. Our oldest son is a priest, newly ordained in June of 2018. I was only 27 when I began working in women's ministry-- by chance (lol) I had 3 young children and was leading a group of 150 moms. That led me to facilitate scripture studies- some with over 250 women-youth ministries, studying the Churches documents on marriage and family and speaking. In the midst of that, I also had a Catholic fine art business, a painting that toured nationally, became a healing tool for women who had lost a late-term pregnancy and some of my other paintings are on book covers.
​
I've done a little TV and radio for EWTN and local Catholic stations, I have had articles about my art in Catholic Mom and in the National Catholic register, and have written a book. You might say I'm kind of an overachiever- I would like to say a recovering perfectionist

Its about laying a strong foundation for your kids. That begins with you! Ground yourself, heal yourself, grow. Let’s face it, life can be hard and not what we expected. We need to prepare our kids with sound judgment and coping skills to arm them for whatever lies ahead. A strong foundation of solid relationships is key in prevention.

If it lacks color, it could lack personality.

And your home should have plenty of both.

I’m not saying every room needs bold color or pattern. But a house filled with nothing but whites and grays can start to feel more like a hotel than a home.

The best rooms have layers. Colors you love, antiques you’ve collected, and pieces that tell your story.

You don’t need to replace everything to make a room feel like yours. Sometimes the right wallpaper brings it all together.

Because your home should reflect the life you’ve lived, not the latest decorating trend.

Collected, not coordinated.

I don’t want a trendy home. I want one that feels authentically me.

A home filled with things I’ve collected over the years. Antiques, family photographs, favorite pieces of furniture, and a few things that probably don’t go together — but somehow do.

I’m not interested in starting over every time decorating trends change.

I want rooms that feel warm, personal, and beautifully lived in. Rooms that reflect the life happening inside them.

That’s why I love wallpaper. The right pattern adds another layer of color, character, and history without replacing everything you already love.

Collected, not coordinated.

A little pattern can change the whole feeling of a room.

You don’t need to start over or replace the things you’ve spent years collecting.

The right wallpaper brings warmth, character, and new life to a home that’s already full of stories.

Because the best rooms aren’t perfectly coordinated. They’re collected over time, filled with things you love, and made for living.

I don’t think that little girl ever imagined this would be her life.

Eight children. Six grandchildren. Living by the beach. Painting for a living.

It sounds almost too neat when you put it that way, because of course it wasn’t.

There have been really hard seasons. A lot of sadness mixed in with all the good. Things I never expected and certainly wouldn’t have chosen.

But I look at my life now and think… how lucky am I?

I get to paint. I get to live near the water. My children are grown and now there are grandchildren running around.

And I get to make things for people’s homes.

Rooms they come back to after a hard day. Rooms that feel peaceful when life doesn’t. Rooms where dinners happen, children grow up, grandchildren visit, and somehow all those ordinary days become the things we remember most.

Maybe that’s why I care so much about home.

Not because it has to be perfect.

Because life certainly isn’t.

But because it can be a beautiful place to come back to.

So yes, little me.

I’m still working on it.

But I think maybe you’re right. 🤍

A home filled with nothing but grays and whites can start to lose its personality.

And really, who wants to live in a hotel?

Your home should reflect you — the furniture you’ve collected, the things you’ve inherited, the colors and patterns you love.

It doesn’t need to look like everyone else’s. It needs to feel like yours.

Sometimes all it takes is one beautiful wallpaper to bring the whole room to life.

And if you’ve already ordered samples, now is the time!

Our October Buy More, Save More event includes complimentary art prints and free shipping.

Bring home the wallpaper you’ve been thinking about and create a room you’ll love for years to come.

You’ve found the wallpaper you love. Now you just want to be sure it’s right for your home.

The color, the light, how it works with the furniture and antiques you already love.

That’s why I always recommend starting with a sample.

See it on your walls, in your own light, before making the commitment.

Order your samples and take the first step toward a room you’ll love for years.
