 Cottagecore 

Have you heard that term? It's relatively new to the home design community, but it's not a new concept. And if truth be told, it's not a home decorating style the way farmhouse is a style. Cottagecore...it's a lifestyle. 

In this episode I share what elements define the cottagecore movement and chances are, you may already be living it. This is a teaching that I did within my Facebook community where I do a teaching weekly. I serve this community in a similar capacity as I would a paid community, but it's FREE!

Everyone loves a good home before and after and this one does not disappoint! As we've been chatting about the transformative power of paint, I take it next level in this episode to show you how that can happen all while planning a

SURPRISE MAKEOVER! The only thing missing is the reaction from the parents when they first saw it.

Creating a cohesive look in your home is as simple as a first grade math formula. You don't want to miss this so you can start making your own transformation today!

Hey hey! Today we're identifying five things that could be making your room feel tired, outdated, boring, bland...I just threw those last two in. But, in all honesty, these five things COULD be making your home feel boring and bland. What are they? And more importantly, what DO I DO if I have one or more of these things going on in my home? You take action. Or not. But if you do, I direct you on the path you can go. 

I mention three ways you can work with me:

1. Book a 45 minute call...all via zoom so you could literally be in Luxembourg while we chat.

2. Book a Room Edit...self-paced and implemented, but highly guided by me. Think of a Room Edit as a design hand-holding.

3. Join the 10 week Design 101 course! Yes! I'm guiding a small group of ladies through the journey of home design beginning to end in 10 weeks. Reserve your spot now by emailing me at: [email protected]

Quotes like "Home isn't a place, it's a feeling" or "There's no place like home" have become blasé quotes, but there's real meaning and truth to them if you dive a bit deeper. That's just what we're doing today - diving deep into why it's important to choose a feeling word as you move forward in home design. In truth, the feeling part is really what fig & farm (at home) is about. The pretty walls and knowing how to style a bookshelf is just icing on top of the proverbial cake. But the heart...there lies the real beauty. 

Limiting beliefs in home design can hold you back from creating a home you love. For Kelly, it was the idea that she should have a sophisticated grown up design - which in her mind meant designing with a neutral palette. That's problematic when you love color as much as Kelly does! In today's episode we're chatting about the breakthrough she had that finally enabled her to bring color into her living room in a big way. We chat about the design process, compromising with hubby and even bringing her kiddo into the design decision making. If you're wondering how (or if you should) bring color into your home design, you won't want to miss her insight and encouragement.  

Money, or the lack there of, is one of the biggest limitations for creating a home you love. But what if we re-thought the way we view budget? What if changes were accessible now...today...because we started thinking of the impact of change rather than the cost for that change? What if we knew the secret to making the biggest impact of change to your home and it didn't cost a lot? Would you want to know what that impact is? If you do, you'll want to listen to today's show where I not only reveal what that change is, but tell you my format for creating biggest impact change in sequence to smallest impact change so you can make the changes to your home on your timeline, with your budget. You won't want to miss this!

Understanding your aesthetic is essential before designing a room you love, but naming your aesthetic can be tricky if you don't know what it is or even where to start. In today's show I'm teaching you how to use Pinterest as a student of design so you can finally unlock the idea of your home's style.

Before we dive into using Pinterest as a tool, I teach you what Pinterest is and what it isn't. Is it just another social media platform demanding your time and clicks for likes. Spoiler alert...no it isn't. 

In home design, when you're doing it yourself, knowing where and how to start can feel overwhelming. So overwhelming that it might become a hinderance for starting in the first place. Today's episode is the beginning of a three part series walking you, the home dweller, along the path of starting. We work together to identify the room that might be best to start in, learn the anatomy of a room and set a purpose for the room you'll be designing. Then, we put it all together to understand how the items within your room will help meet the purpose you have for it...or not. Take notes...and don't lose them. You'll need them for parts two and three of this series, But Where Do I Start? 

Designing a home you love can be as simple as following these simple rules. But they might not be what you're expecting. In today's episode I'm challenging you to replace the word 'rules' with the word 'guidelines' so you can be free to create a home you love with the things that bring you joy...whether those things are dated or brand new.
