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.
