Summertime and the living (and decorating) is easy! There are so many simple ideas to freshen up for this season. 

Summer decorating might just be more about what you take away than what you add. Remove and store away any items that say winter. That is includes the beloved furry Mongolian pillows!

Maybe you take down drapes & let the room bask in even more sunlight.

If you are adding for summer, how about:

A straw hat casually hung on a hook or from a chair back; HERE

Hey there - this is a unique "bonus" as it is more of an invitation than an episode.

I am inviting you to follow your passion for decorating into creating a profitable business. I did and now I want to share all I know with you!

Listen to what I have in store for you and how you can come along with me to start a career, transition to a new chapter or add a lucrative side hustle to your existing endeavors.

My audio course will be self paced and capped off with a one on one conference with me focused specifically on you & your new decorating business. That sounds exciting doesn't it? .... "Your decorating business"!

Learn to make your passion for decorating work for you. If this sounds right for you simply email "I've got the passion" to [email protected].

You are an email away from starting your decorating business!

xx,

Kelly
