Meet The Designers
Melina LaV Daniels in her Blowing Rock Studio
Melina LaV Daniels
Melina LaV Daniels earned a BFA in Art Education & Ceramics from Appalachian University in 2013.
Shortly following, she created a multi-tiered fine art business with her husband Jacob Daniels.
While they traveled across the Southeast selling art and home wares under Overflow Studios, they soon started an artist community in the High Country called Artisan Market Boone; this platform connected the marketplace to the highly creative local artists in the area. Melina continued to host internships with ASU students through the art department, teaching them how to create a career as professional artists.
After nearly a decade of traveling , Melina & Jacob purchased a 100-year old historical building on King St. renovated the bones and opened Common Good Company in 2019.
The couple has since designed and renovated several residential and commercial properties.
When she is not curating for the gallery or designing products, you can find Melina herding their 3 children, arranging flowers & renovating their Blowing Rock homestead.
Kim Fuelling
Earning a BFA in Painting from John Herron School of Art in 1999, Kim Fuelling has paved the way for a creative lifestyle as an artist and designer of oil paintings, one-of-a-kind custom furniture and woodworking for contractors and homeowners here in the high country.
In 2021, Kim became certified in residential interior design from New York Institute of Art & Design and she is a member of the DSA, Design Society of America.
Kim and husband, Paul Fuelling, own Mabel Studios, an artist-focused custom furniture & fine art business. The creative team specializes in hand-built, original custom woodworking to elevate homes and create inheritance-worthy pieces to be passed down from generation to generation.
Kim has history in the vintage industry, home decor and fine art for nearly two decades.
You can find more of Fuelling’s work here.
When she is not hands deep in wood finishes or oil paint, you can find Kim slinging mud on her 2-wheeler, rock climbing with Paul, and tending to her mid-century homestead.
Fuelling & Daniels began their relationship through Common Good Co. Daniels discovered Kim’s work and fell in love with her use of color, composition and Appalachian landscapes. The team quickly began following each other’s journeys through art and design and combined forces in 2022 to launch Common Good Interiors, a design firm birthed from the admiration of natural textures, the highest quality craftsmanship & the desire to create spaces that you want to dwell in.
