Are You Following Your Passion?

Are you the one who everyone turns to for help in decorating their homes? Are you surfing the web at night for a means to express yourself creatively? Have you always had a passion for interior design? How long are you going to put off doing something you really love?

Build On What You Know

We teach an intensive, nationally recognized five-day training program, called Foundations, to help you along on your journey—to follow your dream. You'll get hands-on experience with 4 homes; that's an average of 12 rooms in a week. We also offer a three-day redesign workshop for those with less time or resources and for those interested in staging homes for sale. We have added Advanced Strategies training for continuing education in the field. For those interested in becoming a teacher of Interior Redesign or Home Staging, we are developing a comprehensive teacher education program. Our first course is called Train the Trainer. This course enables you to teach your own classes. Wherever you are on your life's path, we provide the kind of training you're looking for.

Gain the Confidence You Need

Our training provides a solid introduction to the basics. The ratio of teachers to students is 1:3 so that everyone gets individual attention. Kris and Jane are founding board members of The Society of Decorating Professionals (The SDP). We are pioneers in this industry and have done room redesigns for the HGTV show "Decorating Cents" which originally aired October 20 and November 10, 2001. We were also featured on HGTV's "Our Place" in six episodes providing trade secrets. For details about our schedule, pricing, and programs please read on.

The Gift You Have Is of Great Value

There are people out there who wish they had access to you and your talents. You have the gift of being able to visualize a room. People are willing and happy to pay for your expertise. We build on the foundation of passion that you already have, equipping you for a career in the field that you love. If you're ready to move forward with your redesign career, please check out our schedule of upcoming training events and fill out our contact form to initiate a conversation.
