Limiting beliefs in home design can hold you back from creating a home you love. For Kelly, it was the idea that she should have a sophisticated grown up design - which in her mind meant designing with a neutral palette. That's problematic when you love color as much as Kelly does! In today's episode we're chatting about the breakthrough she had that finally enabled her to bring color into her living room in a big way. We chat about the design process, compromising with hubby and even bringing her kiddo into the design decision making. If you're wondering how (or if you should) bring color into your home design, you won't want to miss her insight and encouragement.

Money, or the lack there of, is one of the biggest limitations for creating a home you love. But what if we re-thought the way we view budget? What if changes were accessible now...today...because we started thinking of the impact of change rather than the cost for that change? What if we knew the secret to making the biggest impact of change to your home and it didn't cost a lot? Would you want to know what that impact is? If you do, you'll want to listen to today's show where I not only reveal what that change is, but tell you my format for creating biggest impact change in sequence to smallest impact change so you can make the changes to your home on your timeline, with your budget. You won't want to miss this!

Understanding your aesthetic is essential before designing a room you love, but naming your aesthetic can be tricky if you don't know what it is or even where to start. In today's show I'm teaching you how to use Pinterest as a student of design so you can finally unlock the idea of your home's style.
Before we dive into using Pinterest as a tool, I teach you what Pinterest is and what it isn't. Is it just another social media platform demanding your time and clicks for likes. Spoiler alert...no it isn't.

In home design, when you're doing it yourself, knowing where and how to start can feel overwhelming. So overwhelming that it might become a hinderance for starting in the first place. Today's episode is the beginning of a three part series walking you, the home dweller, along the path of starting. We work together to identify the room that might be best to start in, learn the anatomy of a room and set a purpose for the room you'll be designing. Then, we put it all together to understand how the items within your room will help meet the purpose you have for it...or not. Take notes...and don't lose them. You'll need them for parts two and three of this series, But Where Do I Start?

Teaching First Grade taught me many things and one lesson in particular was taught by a little boy Marshawn. Unbeknownst to him, my year teaching Marshawn has dramatically shaped the way I transition from the routines of a school year seamlessly into summertime freedom. If you have a child who struggles with change or self-managing their independent summer time, these systems and frameworks might be helpful for you.

Home Decorating as a career was an evolution for me that started when I left my job as a First Grade Teacher to stay home with my infant son. Going from a dual income to a single income meant budget everything while at the same time going from working full time to staying home all day meant lots of down time and lots of time for noticing the four walls that had become all too familiar. Those walls needed a change and naptime was the time for changing them, but there wasn't much room for purchasing new things. This was when I learned the power of transformation through paint and how I started my journey of discovering that home decorating does not have to break the bank.
