The Master Class
A complete workshop for those who love to do it themselves. Gain essential insights, save yourself time and money while you eliminate the guesswork & frustrations that always come with home projects.
Plan and complete beautiful, functional rooms after taking this full day workshop developed by an experienced professional. Prepare yourself to tackle any design project by learning how to look at a room, to develop a plan, and how to bring it all together. Learn the basics of layout, color schemes, fabrics, lighting, composition, Feng Shui, and methods to stay organized. Apply this knowledge with self–assurance on all of your design projects to work within a budget and get the results you desire. A comprehensive workbook is included. The Master Class can be held on one day or in two morning, afternoon, or evening sessions. Due to the interactive nature of the program, class size is limited.
This material can be presented as a full day workshop with lunch, or broken into two or four sessions depending upon the needs of your group.
Participants are encouraged to bring pictures of what inspires them, as well as six (6) photos of the room to be addressed and up to four (4) shots of the rest of your home. Digital photos on a CD are best, but prints are okay.
Request to be notified of upcoming classes.

“This class was very informative and it gave me a starting
point – I’m usually all over the place. You presented the material in a very
understandable way. I’ve enjoyed it.”
—Karin L
“I did learn to start from a starting point in a room,
how to simplify it and keep things peaceful. I started on our kitchen and
am in the middle of renovating it and feel comfortable about what I doing.
Good class.”

“This class brought up some ideas that I never thought of before like the room’s energy and functionality. I will also keep in mind the room’s balance as well. I’m also going to be more aware of lighting too.”
—Barbara Z
“Definitely got some basics, which was great. I will never again pick my paint color first! I feel better about my new sunroom – more confident about what I want and need to do to get the look and feel I’m looking to achieve. I do have to say I’ve never felt so uncertain about decorating projects as I have with this sunroom – I think it’s all that glass to deal with! Thank you – great experience!”
—Kathy B
