Do you LOVE your home?
OR
Do you WANT to love your home?
As a home owner, you are in a unique position as the author of the story you want your home to tell. You're also the artist behind the canvas of your created home. Basically...you're in charge in a BIG way! But if you don't love your home, you could be feeling a bit stuck! Afterall, you have literally made every decision about the items inside your home - even the ones that you may not think you have.
For example:
~ You moved in to a home with gray walls. You didn't choose that color, but you chose to KEEP that color.
~ You inherited that ugly sofa from your mom. You didn't choose that sofa, but you chose not to say NO and now you're choosing to KEEP it.
Whether you love your home or not, is a CHOICE. Knowing WHAT to do about is entirely different. That's what we're talking about in today's episode. The first step in loving your home: recognizing that your home isn't happening TO YOU but you are the one in charge!

BLACK FRIDAY
You either LOVE it or HATE it!
If you need items for your home decorating project you won't want to miss Black Friday sales, but are you READY? And what does being ready for Black Friday even mean?
Start by creating a PLAN. A solid decorating plan does not start with making a list of things you'd like to purchase. Creating a plan for decorating involves learning your aesthetic, understanding the purpose of the room, learning the sequence of when to purchase the items that will make big impact and not spending until you've checked your plan with your calendar - so your spending will align with deeply discounted items (usually offered on or around Black Friday).
How do you learn to make this magical home decorating plan? You learn inside of Home Design 101 - a self paced course that teaches you the steps in the design process so you can finally create a home that you are delighted to come home to and invite your friends over to.

Creating a cohesive flow throughout your home starts by choosing a color palette that can flow seamlessly room to room!
If you are wondering why your home doesn't look cohesive...check your color palette. Then, check other things too, like repetition of design elements, layers, etc (you can find ALL of that inside HOME DESIGN 101).
In this episode I am sharing the most basic way you can create a color palette to use as a foundational backdrop for creating a cohesive home. Plugging your palette into a formula and checking that formula for general accuracy, as well as items that could negate (or bully) your palette will help 'fact check' how your formula is performing for you in your home.
Want to learn more secrets of home design? Join Home Design 101, a self-paced course where you learn the process of how to create a home that you LOVE...a home that looks appropriately grown up, despite the hand-me downs you may still be living with!

Do you struggle with comparing your home to others?
WHY do their homes look SO good...like, seriously, all the time? Where is their clutter? How can they afford those things?
We can choose to give in to comparison of fight back! I'm choosing to fight back and I want you to also! In this episode we're talking about the main root of comparison and how it might be keeping you stuck in inaction and then WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT!!!
Walk away feeling inspired to take action, to JUST START, even if the starting is small. Because small leads to growing confidence. Growing confidence exercises your design decision muscles and pretty soon, you're off to the races!

Which comes first: functionality or aesthetics?
"My entryway isn't functional...or cute. There are shoes everywhere and it looks so uninviting. I'd like to give it a facelift, but what things should I consider?"
This was the question posed by listener, Julie, who wanted to refresh her space and wondered what things to consider so she could make the best choices for her entryway.
In today's episode we're talking about how to assess the PURPOSE of the room - what she wants her room to do for her, as well as how it is currently underperforming before choosing items that are her design style.
Learning the steps in the home decorating process is an important part of Home Design 101 where I teach you:
1. How to identify the purpose of the room
2. How to identify your individual design aesthetic or design style
3. How to create a cohesive color palette

When it comes to fall decorating, are you OVER:
complicating
theme-izing
crowding
buying
In today's episode I share three ways you could be overcomplicating your fall decorating and how to remediate them simply. No more merchandising your home, but styling with intentionality by assessing what you have, shopping what you already own, removing things when you start and using nature as inspiration.

How do you organize when you have too much stuff?
Today's episode is answering a listener's question who is asking for organizing tips throughout the home, especially when you have too much stuff. Is it possible?
Short answer - yes! When you utilize your home's natural boundaries, then categorize and sub-categorize within those boundaries not only will you be able to find what it is you are looking for, but you'll be able to see when you're stuff exceeds the boundaries. THIS is a natural way to help you keep the clutter out.
For example: the natural boundary in the kitchen is the pantry with five shelves. Each shelf houses items that fit categorically (i.e. baking shelf, general cooking shelf, snack shelf, etc). On each shelf are sub categories, i.e. smaller containers to house the category of item. When that container reaches capacity it's time to use what I have, go through what's there or stop purchasing said items.
Example in my home:
Natural boundary: pantry with five shelves
Categories: general cooking shelf
Sub-categories: container for pastas, container for grains, section for canned goods
