"How do you transform a kid's bedroom into one that looks a little more grown up?"
That was the question my client Amy had about her growing son. They were both ready to paint over the mural on the wall and replace the poster of Cristiano Ronaldo, but the boy is still a sports loving boy.
Enter the ROOM EDIT! A Room Edit is my entry level design service where I help the client formulate a plan to create the room they aspire to have. It all starts with a questionnaire so I have an idea of what they want, a hint of what their style is and colors or products thy may need (or want to avoid). The Room Edit is created with A LOT of information - visuals for the client to follow, ideas of color palettes, and sometimes even recommendations for where to purchase products. Th Room Edit is recorded and delivered for watching, re-watching, re-watching...so the transformation can happen with the client is ready.
This Room Edit's theme: Mid-Century Mod with an ode to the pitch - Enjoy!

STOP
asking all your friends, your Facebook friends, the people on the street corner, anyone who's breathing for decorating advice. Would you ask a complete stranger what you should wear for a TV interview? NO? How about how to discipline your child? NO? What to eat on Tuesday for dinner?
NO, NO, NO!
But when it comes to choosing a paint color for your wall, you seem to think you need a million and one DIFFERENT opinions! WHY...when you are already overwhelmed, frustrated, confused, discouraged would you ask a complete stranger for decorating advice - especially when you have a visual resource at your fingertips that can be so informative and less abrasive.
Using Pinterest to your advantage in home decorating is a powerful way to understand your aesthetic, but if we only use it for a source of inspiration rather than information - we'll continue to leave feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with a lack of clear direction. And that, my friends, can be down right DISAPPOINTING.
In today's episode I share three ways you can use Pinterest with intentionality and purpose while you learn your aesthetic.
If you're ready for MORE and want help using Pinterest as a tool for unlocking your design confidence, Home Design 101 is open for registration. We spend two weeks using Pinterest to establish a firm foundation before decorating your home.

BORING!
If that's the word you are using to describe your home you may be missing something.
In today's podcast we're continuing our conversation of bringing more Christmas time cozy into your home when the last pine needle has been swept up and the ornaments have been put away. If we love the feeling of Christmas - can we truly get it the rest of the year? The simple answer...YES! Just look at your Christmas tree...it is covered with your family's story, history, legacy. Creating a home that honors your family's story is more than hanging a few photos on the wall (though that's a good start).
Creating a home you love should reflect YOU...not your neighbor! Are you ready to learn how create a home you love? Home Design 101 is open for registration, but it's CLOSING SOON. Reserve your spot today at:

Do you love the feeling of Christmas in your home?
What is it about the holiday season that makes our homes feel so incredibly cozy? Is it the longer evenings? Possibly. Is it the nostalgia of the ornaments hanging on our tree? Possibly. Is it the decorations that you see from every vantage point? Possibly.
In today's conversation we're talking about that FEELING you get in your home around Christmas. You know the one...the one that makes you say, 'It feels like Christmas.' That one. What is it that makes our homes feel like Christmas and how can we have that feeling even in the heat of the summer? Is it possible? DEFINITELY. I share four things you can do in your home to make it feel as cozy as Christmas, even when the calendar says April.

"What's on YOUR Christmas list this year?"
My husband asked this question of me the other day...and I paused. When did the idea of spending money on myself become taboo? And it made me wonder if YOU feel the same way too - like somehow you're undeserving, like investing in a beautiful home that feels cozy and looks beautiful is vanity rather than service. Let me tell you this, sister...the hard truth. Your homes are a canvas for story telling and whether you know it or not, your home RIGHT NOW...TODAY...THIS VERY MOMENT is saying something.

Does the BUSYNESS of the holidays always
leave you feeling STRESSED?
In today's episode, I'm chatting with Kim Montgomery, host of the High Five Motherhood Podcast. She's on a mission to equip busy mamas of today how to ditch the hot-mess mom culture and embrace the time they have with their babies. As a mom of five, Kim knows BUSY. And as a mom of five, Kim has spent years developing systems for her home and family life in order to lessen the stress and enjoy more - more time with the kids, more date nights with hubby, more holiday traditions. All the good stuff.
Today, Kim is sharing FIVE HOLIDAY SYSTEMS she uses to make the time leading up to the holidays truly enjoyable. We invite you to listen in, borrow the ideas and post your own in our Facebook Community so more mamas just like you can lessen the stress around their holiday traditions as well.
Enjoy!
xo,
Dani (and Kim)

Wallpaper...yay or nay?!
It's a big fat YAY in my opinion! But before you choose wallpaper for your home, there are some things you need to know. Not all wallpaper is created equal. In today's conversation, I'm equipping you will all the Must-Knows about buying wallpaper in general and which type of wallpaper might be best for you, more specifically. You hear the pros and cons of each of the three types of wallpaper: peel and stick, pre-adhesive and traditional. And...you learn which one is my favorite to apply!
If you have a favorite type of wallpaper, we want to see it over in our Facebook Community!

Who loves a good DEAL?
I'm quietly raising my hand over here. I love a good deal. Deals, in fact, are how I have created a home that looks curated over time rather than the spring collection at Target. Deals are the backbone to how fig & farm (at home) was born. And deals are meant for you too, friend!
BUT...the DEALS end tonight at midnight.
Tomorrow the price of Home Design 101 goes back up to normal, the two FREE 1:1 design coaching sessions go away and poof goes the FREE access to my Holiday Table-scape Workshop.
Here's the real DEAL, sis: I know you're on the fence about registering. Do you know how I know? Because you keep asking questions, keep watching HGTV shows, keep listening to the podcast, keep gaining inspiration and ideas. If you're ready to put all of that info together into one nice, neat, pretty little package (by the way...that pretty little package is YOUR HOME!), here's the link to register: https://design-1012.teachable.com/p/homedesign101
I'll see YOU in class!

Deb had just finished building an outdoor living area when she joined Home Design 101.
She wanted to learn how to decorate on her own and admittedly lacked confidence in her decision making. She would buy something she liked, bring it home, then realize it didn't quite work but she had NO IDEA WHY. Deb enjoyed being outside in her new outdoor living area, loved having guests over to share the space with, but she wanted it look and feel better - more cohesive - more her.
During the course of our ten weeks together, Deb had major breakthroughs! She learned to recognize her unique design style so she could make decisions (and future decisions) with confidence. She learned to create a vision board so she could see her product choices all together before spending a single dime. She learned how to create a color palette and which products it was important to spend more money on and which she could spend less on. And Deb walked away with an outdoor living space that is being called an oasis by those who visit!
If you want a home decorating breakthrough like Deb, where you learn the design basics so you can gain the skill, the tools and mostly the confidence to make design decisions on your own - Home Decorating 101 is open for registration. Today through Monday, November 28th when you register for Home Design 101 you will receive TWO BONUSES:
* two 30 minute 1:1 coaching sessions with me
* access to my Holiday Tablescape Workshop
On Tuesday, November 29th the BONUSES GO AWAY and the PRICE GOES UP!
Space is LIMITED in class and once it fills, the door closes for registration.
