Description
I am so excited to equip you, and starting at Step 1, How to Discover your Interior Design Style. You need to learn what this is first because every other decorating decision will stem from this. We will be running through, in detail, what the 8 Main Interior Design Styles are today and how to recognize which one, or two, you fall into.
Step 2, you will quickly learn how to EASILY choose a color scheme for your decor and accessory items that you will decorate with, including how many colors and neutrals to use, and how to make sure that they match what colors and neutrals are already in the room you are decorating within.
Step 3, You will learn 3 different formulas that I use in my design business everyday.
-The first formula will be for Decorating every type of Fireplace Mantle, (including long, narrow, and short mantles) and how to repeat that same formula for a Console Table, Single Shelving and above Kitchen Cabinets and Hutches. Symmetrically and Asymmetrically.
-The second formula will be for decorating any type of Shelving unit, Bookcase, or Built-In for a well balanced, beautiful design that can be easily and systematically repeated no matter how many shelves or units you may have.
-The third formula will be for any type of coffee table you may have (Fabric Ottomans and Bunching Tables included) using 5 key items and how to repeat that same formula for a kitchen or dining room table, an end table, or night stand.
Once you learn these formulas, I will show you how to disperse color throughout each design using my special method, The Zig-Zag technique.
Step 4 is the MOST exciting step! You will learn exactly WHAT items to use on every one of these surfaces for YOUR particular Design Style. You will know exactly what items to look for when you go out shopping, so there will be no more guessing when you are at the store!
Each of these will be accompanied with activity worksheets so that you can easily sketch out exactly how you want each surface to look like, with what items you want. There will also be a section on those activity worksheets to add in what colors and neutrals you want your items to be.
I can't wait to go along this journey with you!

It is my true passion to help others find delight and experience happiness in the home that they live in. Teaching others to do it for themselves is a huge part of that.
I own my own Color and Design Business and have helped countless people decorate, design, and find the perfect paint colors for their homes. Taking the stress off of my clients and making design completely attainable is my biggest motivation.
I have had the opportunity to create my own Paint Color System that I am able to use everyday in not only my Online Color Consultations but in my In-Home Consultations in the city that I live in. I use simple formulas that I created myself to simplify the decorating process for any part of the home. I love teaching these formulas and my Paint Color System to others, so that they feel equipped and confident. These formulas and systems are exactly what I teach in my classes, so I can't wait to teach you too!
I have been featured on HGTV, designed countless homes for some of the top realtors and businesses where I live, and now my focus is on Udemy. It is my mission to bring you with the best training and learning so that you can design, decorate and choose paint colors for your own dream home or for others if you are wanting to start your own business.
I am not formally educated in Interior Design but rather all of my expertise comes from having great mentors and many years of on-the-job experience. I have thoroughly equipped myself through self-taught education and have loved every minute of it.
I am so looking forward to seeing you in class!
