From Our House to Yours
The Story
Early summer 2015, I decided to open my very own workspace. Over the years, it has evolved with me as I pursued new passions and interests. From vintage stationery and packaging to antiques and textiles, I’m always sourcing inspiration to bring a unique style to any project I complete.
This space exists so I can share these passions with you.
I specialize in bespoke wedding and event invitations, custom stationery, and handmade paper goods. My goal is to work with you to create custom pieces that are as practical and useful as they are beautiful. I'm here to help you bring your creative visions to life, all out of a cozy house in Burlington, Ontario.

WORKING TOGETHER
[Melissa’s] creativity was exceptional when it came to creating our wedding stationery. I simply told her my ‘vision’ … and she was able to produce many beautiful designs for me to pick from, and captivate exactly what I was picturing in my head. The service was professional and her flexibility to cater to my specific needs was also amazing. It is obvious how much time, dedication, and passion goes into this business. Definitely exceeded my expectations, and were SO great to work with. I would recommend Utility House to anyone!
