Hey friend!

Have you ever wondered what it is about some homes that make them look so classic and timeless, but wonder how to do the same in your own home? I've got you covered in this episode as I'm sharing 10 tips for having a more classic, timeless design in your home decorating.

But let me tell you a little secret - it's all about intentionality. From the color palette to the metal choices, to the way things are built, to live plants vs fake plants...all of this and more help drive the classic, timeless design.

And if it all sounds intimidating, rest assured that it actually is NOT. Learning how to be an intentional decision maker starts with knowing your personal design style, your signature style, your aesthetic - what ever you want to call it - these are the miniscule design elements that you gravitate to over and over. Once you know THAT, you have the fundamentals of creating a cohesive home. A cohesive home is the core principle for a timeless, classic look.

Hey friend!

If the design advice is to move the furniture off the wall, what do you do next? Have you found yourself wondering how to arrange your furniture so it looks cozy and inviting, but get stuck after you move your couch three inches?

If that's you, you're in luck because this episode breaks down the five things you should think about when arranging living room furniture and it even addresses tricky rooms like non-rectangular and really long rectangular.

5 things to consider while arranging furniture:

1. Functionality of your room

2. Focal point as an anchor

4. Guidelines to follow

5. How to approach the room arranging

After listening to this episode you find yourself thinking it would be really nice to have a visual...come and join The Collective, my membership that teaches short weekly lessons via video - concepts like this one where a visual is helpful for really understanding.

Hey friend!

Do you wish you had the nerve to be a little more bold in your home decor? Why is it so hard to take a risk when the risk-reward ratio isn't too disparaging?

Listener Katie is really nervous about being bold in her decor and that's what we're talking about inside today's episode. I'm sharing 5 tips to help ease her comfort level and these tips, no matter how bold you want to go, will be helpful for you as you continue building your decorating confidence.

5 Tips for Going Bold

1. Know what BOLD means to you: Write it down, define it and better yet...

2. Find an INSPIRATION PHOTO: Use this as a guide or reference, NOT as a map for copying.

3. Define your COLOR PALETTE: Your current foundational color might not support your definition of bold. Be prepared to change that first if need be.

4. Start SMALL: Small could mean one item. It could also mean one room that has doors you can close. Either way, when you're nervous about big change, starting small is comfortable - like tiptoeing into the water instead of diving into the deep end head first.

5. EXPERIMENT, PLAY, HAVE FUN: It's ok to experiment, this is your house after all. But if makes you feel more comfortable- know your exit strategy for the bold decision in case you don't like it.

In this episode I also answered Carrie's question re: The Collective. She was worried about The Collective being hosted on FB as she doesn't have (nor want) to be on social media.

Facts about The Collective:

1. It's hosted on a site called Thrive. Thrive is not social media, but rather a course hosting platform.

2. All LIVE q & a sessions and workshops are hosted on Zoom. The replays of those sessions then live in The Collective's hub (think of it like a library) on Thrive.

3. There is an optional student community on FB, where students of The Collective and Home Design 101 can answer each other's questions, post pictures of their progress, etc, but ALL Collective content, announcements, trainings, etc. live on the Thrive platform. Happy Styling!!
