Pleasant Living in Wisconsin

If you happen to be in Madison, Wisconsin this summer – or any time during the year – be sure to stop by Pleasant Living, the brainchild of Rick Shaver and Lee Melahn.  Attracted by a simpler, more fulfilling lifestyle,  this former New York-based design duo now call the mid-west home and have created an atelier filled with life’s little luxuries.

Cross the threshold of Pleasant Living and be immediately surrounded by an atmosphere that is both welcoming and relaxing.  Rick and Lee’s taste range from the traditional to the contemporary so there’s something for everyone.

Meet with the Designers

We think anyone in the vicinity of Madison is lucky to have this new little gem in the neighborhood and only wish it weren’t so far.  The store just opened last week so stop by and see it for yourself!
