* Do you spend hours on Pinterest pinning beautiful images?
* Do you go over to a friend’s house and have decor envy?
* Do you wonder where to start when it comes to decorating your house?
* Are you frustrated every time you walk into your house because you haven’t taken any action on decor?
* Do you wish you could create a cozy home on a budget?
Friend, I’ve been there...
This podcast inspires REAL moms with REAL homes and REAL budgets to transform their houses into homes they love. You will learn affordable and practical decorating tips, tricks, DIY tutorials, and more. I teach home owners how break through the barrier of what’s keeping them stuck in their home design, while also encouraging them to tell their home’s story from within by living a life of intention with the people they share their home with. My mission is to equip you with all the how-tos so you can decorate a home you love walking in to; a home you are confident in, that feels cozy and comfortable; a home that feels cohesive and put together.
Hey, I’m Dani - a former First Grade teacher turned home decorator. Going from a dual income to a single income so I could stay home with my babies meant budget - like Ramen eating, Goodwill shopping budget and I learned a few things along the way: how to bring BIG style to your home without breaking the bank. And I’ve put it all together in this podcast so you know where to start, what to buy and where to hang it!
If you’re ready to break free from the Pinterest perfect trap and decorate your home with style by making confident decisions (all without taking out a second mortgage) - this podcast is for you!
So put down that sledgehammer, grab your paintbrush and let’s get started!

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.

YOU WANT IT TO SAY!

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.

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.
