The short term rental (or STRs) are crazy around here and towns have been tightening rules on them here in NC. Not sure about where you live, but having a rental property is another revenue stream for people who are trying to make ends meet. But if you are renting out a home, condo or apartment there are a few things you should keep in mind when it comes to decorating it. Let's get into that in this week's episode. Mentioned in this episode: How to stage a living room online course https://bluediamondstaginganddesign.com/how-to-stage-living-room-course/ Master bedroom layouts https://www.etsy.com/listing/1606662842/master-bedroom-furniture-plans-floor Home decor ebook https://www.etsy.com/listing/1614205648/home-decor-placement-interior-decorating
What's my design style? It's the age-old question. What's my style? What name can I give it? What box can I put it in to make my job of decorating my home easier? The hard truth: those home decorating style quizzes DON'T make your job easier. They make it harder...a LOT harder. Your design style can be labeled, but it should be labeled by you and you alone.

Inside the BACK TO BASICS BOOTCAMP I teach you how to learn your design style...not just how to recognize a pretty picture. I teach you the nuances that make up your style and help you make a label that YOU understand. When you do that...you UNLOCK the secret to learning how to decorate your home.

BLACK FRIDAY You either LOVE it or HATE it! If you need items for your home decorating project you won't want to miss Black Friday sales, but are you READY? And what does being ready for Black Friday even mean? Start by creating a PLAN. A solid decorating plan does not start with making a list of things you'd like to purchase. Creating a plan for decorating involves learning your aesthetic, understanding the purpose of the room, learning the sequence of when to purchase the items that will make big impact and not spending until you've checked your plan with your calendar - so your spending will align with deeply discounted items (usually offered on or around Black Friday). How do you learn to make this magical home decorating plan? You learn inside of Home Design 101 - a self paced course that teaches you the steps in the design process so you can finally create a home that you are delighted to come home to and invite your friends over to.

BORING! If that's the word you are using to describe your home you may be missing something. In today's podcast we're continuing our conversation of bringing more Christmas time cozy into your home when the last pine needle has been swept up and the ornaments have been put away. If we love the feeling of Christmas - can we truly get it the rest of the year? The simple answer...YES! Just look at your Christmas tree...it is covered with your family's story, history, legacy. Creating a home that honors your family's story is more than hanging a few photos on the wall (though that's a good start). Creating a home you love should reflect YOU...not your neighbor! Are you ready to learn how create a home you love? Home Design 101 is open for registration, but it's CLOSING SOON.

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!

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! // Links mentioned in show: // * Get the newsletter: figandfarmathome@gmail.com * Join the community so you can tell us what you like or don't like about the 'pretty' pictures: https://bit.ly/design101group * Follow along my silly antics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ * Leave a review, pretty please: https://apple.co/3RVbHXH Happy styling! xo, dani
Is it possible to makeover a laundry room from floor to ceiling with only a $400 budget? YES!!! The laundry room is COMPLETE and I have one important question...is it possible to love a laundry room? I think so. 5 tips for making your next home decorating project a success: 1. Have a starting budget, but keep it flexible: Can you boost your starting budget by skipping the coffee line or the daily take out at lunch? Or can you adjust your timeline so you can save a bit more to get the product you're wanting for your room? 2. Measure twice, cut once: Slow down, adjust your pace, take your time before cutting, nailing, stenciling. Make sure you read the directions BEFORE you start. 3. Start with a plan: Planning saves you time and money. Before you plan...do some price checking so you can set a realistic starting budget. 4. Shop the house: You'll be amazed at what you find already living in your space. Use it. Those pictures you weren't too fond of in your dining room...you might love them in your new room! 5. Take a risk: Before taking that risk, ask yourself "WHAT'S THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN?" Explore the answer. If the worst that can happens you not liking it, what will the remediation be? Will the risk be worth it if you don't like it? // Links mentioned in show: // Email: figandfarmathome@gmail.com Instagram: @figandfarm Decorating S.O.S.

Have a Target sized budget, but want to add personality to your home? Try these 5 things! ......................................................................... 1. Add a touch of whimsy Whimsical touches add personality to your home's design, but what is whimsy? Whimsy is the un-expected, the conversational pieces, the eye candy. 2. Uplevel the way you style your decor It doesn't matter if you have a $0.77 vase or a $77 vase, it matters how you style it. Grab the Bookshelf Style Guide so you can up level the way you style bookshelves, mantles, tables capes, coffee tables, etc. https://bit.ly/bookstyleguide 3. Change out the builder-grades Builder grade design elements that come with your home can be an easy way to add your personality to your home's design. Think: light fixtures, hardware, mirrors, even doorknobs. 4. Build - it Building something yourself, like a dinging table or a bookshelf is a wonderful way to add your personality to your space without spending a lot of money, but what happens if you don't know how to build. Can you take an already built piece and modify it? Like adding moulding to a bookcase or new upholstery to a bench. 5. Shop small This is where the personality lives...small shops like antique stores, thrift stores, vintage markets, flea markets, second hand stores. These stores will not only have unique pieces to furnish your home, but are offered at prices that are sometimes a fraction of the price at big-box stores. // Links mentioned in show: // Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/design101group Bookshelf Style Guide: https://bit.ly/bookstyleguide Wallpaper Blog Post: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/blog-1/search/wallpaper Happy styling! xo, dani

There's nothing better than a good spring cleaning in your home than a good Spring Re-fresh! But how do you make your home look and feel spring-y on the inside without it looking all cutesy for Easter? And what on earth do I do with all of my ceramic bunnies or paper mache eggs? Four Easy Ways to Bring Spring into your Home Decorating: 1. Choose a color palette to stick to. The color palette will help: * your decorations stay cohesive * your budget stay in check if you are searching for new pieces 2. Throughout your house, your garage, your closets, your garden shed gather items using that color palette. 3. Think outside the box by including whimsical elements that remind you of spring, but that you may not typically decorate with (i.e. birdcage, beehive, mossy branches, rain boots, umbrellas, etc.). 4. Bring the outside in: forcing branches to bloom ahead of nature's schedule. *** Get more help learning to style flat surfaces *** Bookshelf Style Guide: MORE than a style guide for bookshelves, this guide teaches you the principles of styling ANY flat surface like mantels, tables, pianos, dressers, side tables, etc. *** Join the Facebook Community *** An engaging, inspiring community of mamas who want to bring change to their home one painted room at a time! *** Back to Basics *** This FREE five day mini course teaches you the five most important things you should consider when decorating (or re-decorating your home). *** Work with me *** There are many ways you can work with me: Room Edit Designer On-Call Full Service Book a Call Happy decorating! dani
