Do you have a favorite HGTV show?
I'd venture to guess that if you listen to this podcast, chances are you may enjoy watching an HGTV home design show...or two! You're in good company - after all they're wonderful sources of inspiration when you're wanting to make small or big changes to your home.
But what happens in the space between the inspiration and action?
In today's episode, we're talking about how to navigate the often exciting, yet sometimes frustrating road of re-freshing your home based off of common sources of inspiration found on HGTV shows.
You'll learn the questions to ask yourself BEFORE jumping into action to assess if you're ready and if the change your making is right for your home!
After listening, if you want help navigating the road to creating transformation in your home, and you'd like help designing an action-based road map from here to your end goal, book a Decorating S.O.S. call.

Do you ever wonder...where do you START when you want to decorate your home or re-fresh a single room?
Starting BIG with a purchase could possibly be the worst thing you could do as you begin re-designing your home. So, put away your credit card and grab a notebook and a pen because you'll want to pay attention to the DETAILS.
Learning your design style is not just an important step. It's THE MOST IMPORTANT first step, so what details do you pay attention to? All of them!
Your style is more nuanced than the global terms that are tossed around left and right. Your style is more YOU than it is Farmhouse. It's more YOU than it is Boho. It's more YOU than it is Traditional. Cottage. Country. Industrial. Fill in the BIG global design style. Once you understand what your style is, you have the freedom to mix and match.
Do you like a little Cottage and a little Industrial, but wonder how to blend the two? Looking at the fine details of the design elements you gravitate toward will help!
Learn how to understand and identify your unique design aesthetic by taking my mini course. I walk you through step by step how to unlock and identify YOUR style so you can shop with confidence and re-fresh rooms with ease!
This course is only available twice a year when THE VAULT opens. To have access to THE VAULT, send an email to: hello@figandfarmathome.com
THE VAULT is open May 19th - May 26th.
Other mini courses available in THE VAULT:
* Bookshelf Style Guide: How to style flat surfaces
* Painting Furniture 101: Learn to chalk paint furniture
* Pinterest 101 (Pinning with a Purpose): Learn to identify your unique design aesthetic
* Pillow Making 101: Learn to sew a pillow cover

Have you ever wondered how to decorate a mantle, a bookshelf, an entryway table WITHOUT it looking wonky?
The good news? Learning to decorate your flat surfaces is EASIER than you might think. Understanding, however, that we are decorating intentionally and not merchandising like we would with a retail store is a different story.
The goal with flat surface styling is to intentionally dress your room to make it look good, feel fresh and to be both BEAUTIFUL and LIVE-ABLE.
In this episode I share my simple formula for creating beautiful, intentional mantles, coffee tables, credenzas, entryway tables, bookshelves...anything with a flat surface.
If you want a more comprehensive guide to learn how to apply this to your own home, fig & farm (at home)'s content VAULT is opening May 19 - May 26th! To have access to the mini-courses within the vault, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter. Send me an email to be added: hello@figandfarmathome.com

Styling flat surfaces isn't overly complicated
when you have a formula to style with! In this episode, I teach Susan my formula for learning to style her flat surfaces: mantles, coffee tables, consoles, etc. We also debunk the decorating idea that matchy-matchy is best, that mixing metals really can be easy and light fixtures don't have to be identical twins, but rather distant cousins!
Decorating S.O.S. calls are designed to flow with the client - it's an easy back and forth conversation surrounding the questions you have within your own space. Topics are specific to what you, as the client, want for your home and if you don't know...we figure it out together! You walk away with fresh ideas, actionable homework steps with tips for success and sometimes even a new furniture arrangement!
Decorating S.O.S. calls are low commitment, high reward! Book your call today: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/book-a-call

Did you know...If you've been listening for more than three times we're technically Design Besties!! It would mean the world to me if you left a review on Apple podcasts so other listeners like you could find the show! There's nothing better than sharing with a friend and that's exactly what reviews do...only these friends? These are friends we just haven't met yet. On that note, if I haven't met you yet...introduce yourself! I'd love to meet you!!

Decorating your home for spring?
You've waited ALL year for this, so where do you put your mossy green balls, your ceramic bunnies and your signs that say "Hello Spring?" This year you can leave them in the box (if you want) and start fresh!
Changing your seasonal home decorating starts with curiosity, exploration and a microscopic view of your observations. Simply put...use your five senses with a spring filter in order to covertly or overtly bring spring into your home decorating.

Has your couch been sitting in the exact same position for years?
Getting a new couch may not be the solution to your 'my room feels stuck' woes (though in some cases it most definitely is). Using what you already have, but in new ways, is the cheapest, most budget friendly way to re-decorate your home. Think about it...you've already vetted everything that is in your home. It's already passed the 'I like it, I want to have it test.' But just because you placed it on a specific shelf or in a tucked away corner doesn't mean it needs to live there until it dies.
In this episode I teach you four ways you can confidently shop your home, using what you've already purchased and love. Start small or go big. Move pillows or move the couch. The choice is up to you. But whatever choice you make, know this: you have permission to play. There are no rules that say your lamp needs to continue living as a living room lamp if you'd like to try it out elsewhere. Move things around. Have fun. Play. And ask yourself, "what's the worst that can happen?" You have to move it back because you hate it. OK. Now you know.
