Richmond creator and coach Melissa Eaton sat down with us to chat everything content and monetization.

She has an audience of over 300k people and has built @TheTopDrawerRVA where she documents and transforms unloved furniture into bold, textured works, full of color and personality. What began as a creative outlet in her garage evolved into a thriving brand all rooted in art, authentic process, and transparent storytelling.

Melissa’s work has been featured in outlets like Ordinary Artisans, and she is a longstanding Brand Ambassador for @DixieBellePaint — Her guiding philosophy: “Be brave with your color.”

She shares that the magic lies in imperfection, experimentation, and letting your voice show through every brushstroke — and every post.
