Have you ever wished you could listen in on a real decorating coaching call? Today's episode is exactly that. I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look inside one of our LIVE Q&A sessions from The Collective, where members bring their real homes, real decorating dilemmas, and real questions. No perfectly staged rooms—just practical solutions that help you make confident decorating decisions. In this episode, we're tackling questions like: How do you style bookshelves so they look collected instead of cluttered? Should you paint your brick fireplace...or leave it alone? What's the best size and placement for an area rug? How do you know if your window treatments are helping—or hurting—your room? If you've ever wrestled with any of those questions, chances are you'll hear an answer that applies to your home too. ✨✨ This is also your last call. ✨✨ As you've probably heard me mention over the last couple of weeks, the way I work with clients is changing this fall. That means The Collective and Decorating SOS Calls are available at their current pricing for the last time. Through July 26th, you can: ✨ Join The Collective for just $12/month. ✨ Book a Decorating SOS Call for $127 The best value? Do both! If you're ready to make real progress in your home, my favorite recommendation is to join The Collective and add the Decorating SOS Call as the bump offer. You'll get ongoing decorating support every month plus a private one-on-one coaching session where we can solve your biggest decorating challenge together—for just $77. Honestly, it's the closest thing to having me sitting beside you as we make decisions for your home. This pathway to working together won't exist this way after this month, so if you've been thinking, "Maybe someday..."consider this your invitation to make today that day. I can't wait to welcome you inside.   // Links mentioned in show: // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/decorating-sos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group
