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!

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.

If I tell you that not too long ago I used to have boogery colored walls, would you believe me?
Unlocking the secrets of home decorating didn't come inside a classroom with "Interior Designer" labeled on the front door, though it could. For most of us, we won't go back to school to become a certified Interior Designer. Most of us will do the very best we can with what we have. My very best, 12 years ago, was boogery green walls. I did the best that I could with what I knew THEN, but now I'm sharing my BEST with you!
Listen in on today's conversation where I share the 4 THINGS I DID ON MY OWN TO LEARN HOME DECORATING. I believe design is teachable - that you can LEARN it. Start here...with these four things to get you on the path to creating a home you love!

Are you drowning in STUFF?
Is there stuff everywhere you look? Are you tripping over things that you know should have a resting place in your home? Are you constantly moving one pile in order to make space for another pile - thinking that what you're doing is called organizing?
Friend, I hear you! It's overwhelming, frustrating and disappointing all wrapped into one. Do you want the good news? The good news is you CAN declutter, edit, remove, get rid of (whatever you want to call it) the excess so you can stop living for your stuff, and start living!
In today's episode, I share three ways you can SUCCESSFULLY start decluttering your space to make room for more living - more time to interact with your kids, more time to chat with your husband, more room to have your friends over. More life, less stuff.
If you want help creating a plan to remove the excess in your life, book a call:
Decorating S.O.S. because decorating CAN'T happen if we first don't address the stuff.

Hey friend!
With the holidays right around the corner, our calendars seem to explode with ALL the things to do in preparation of receiving guests into our homes:
* clean the house
* make the house festive
* buy the groceries
* make the meal
* keep everyone happy
And although we know that this date is coming the (almost) same date each year, we sometimes enter into it flustered, overwhelmed, tired and without enough grace left over for those tricky conversations that inevitably arise at the dinner table.
In today's episode I'm sharing with you three things you can do to prep for the holidays NOW that will alleviate the burden the week of the holiday.
1. Get your house ready
2. Get your table ready
3. Get your heart ready
* Join the one hour LIVE workshop on November 13th to learn how to create a holiday tablescape that WOWS! Reserve your spot here: https://bit.ly/figandfarmholidaytable

You're a fly on the wall in today's episode as I'm talking with Tiffany in our Decorating S.O.S. coaching call. Tiffany's job keeps her BUSY and she wants a calm, peaceful, relaxing retreat at the end of a long, busy day. She described her master bedroom as just 'meh,' but when you're working as hard as Tiffany, 'meh' isn't good enough.
Our conversation walks through actionable steps that Tiffany can take as she starts taking action to create a room that feeds her soul the way she wants it to.
If, after listening in on today's show, you'd like to book your own call - I encourage you to do that as space each month is limited to five calls. Once they're full, there won't be any others available until the following month.

Know BEFORE You Go
A new Quick Tip Tuesday series that addresses ALL the things you need to know about a product before you pull out your credit card. This week's Know BEFORE You Go...Area Rugs!
1. MEASURE:
This should go without saying, but measuring before selecting an area rug is critical. Not only should you measure the size of rug you're anticipating purchasing, go a step further - place a marker where those measurements will be: socks, scarves, jumprope, blue tape. It doesn't matter what it is, so long as you do it. Laying it down will give you a visual for how big the rug will actually be.
2. ANCHOR:
An area rug serves as an anchor for the furniture that sits atop it, keeping it from floating. The anchor will help define the sitting area and elevate the look of the room.
3. SEATING AREA:
Look at where your seating area is before purchasing a rug. Are all the pieces pushed back against the wall making it impossible to fit an area rug that won't be too small? Try moving the furniture away from the wall to define the seating area - then anchor it all together with the rug.
4. FRONT LEGS:
General Rule of Thumb: the front legs of all the furniture within the seating area should sit atop the area rug. A little more than the front legs is fine, but a little less is NOT.
5. COLOR:
Be careful that the color of the rug is too similar in tone with the furniture of the room. Too dark and it will be too heavy for the space. Contrast can be a good thing.
6. INSPIRATION PIECE:
Your rug is an opportunity for not only anchoring the furniture to the room, but anchoring the design to the overall space. Are there colors in the rug that can be repeated throughout the rest of the room allowing for repletion and cohesiveness?
7. COST:
Are rugs don't have to cost a lot and it's OK if they land on your "I want to spend less on this item list." If you have children, pets or wear shoes in the house, your rug is going to get a lot of wear and tear and will likely need to be replaced more often than you'd like.
