TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"Easy to follow"
This felt like my best friend was right here beside me, cheering me on and walking me through every step without a hint of judgment. Lauren's friendly, down-to-earth teaching style made me feel instantly at ease. The tutorials in her course are practical and easy to follow, with tips that actually work in real life, not just in staged photos. This course is full of helpful guidance that truly makes a difference." - Suzy Handgraaf
"Lauren thought through every little detail"
"Lauren is a great teacher and has taken a topic that can feel so abstract and gives you a clear step-by-step process. She has thought through every little detail so that you can follow the course and the workbook and truly design a space that's both super functional and beautiful!" - Zoe Hunt
"Highly recommend this!"
"Lauren's DIY Decorating course is hands down one of the best resources I’ve ever used for home decorating! She takes you through a detailed, step-by-step process for re-decorating a room from start to finish, and the way she lays everything out makes it so easy to follow (even if you're a total beginner). What I especially love is that you’re actually working on your own room makeover as you go through the course. So by the end, you not only feel confident and inspired, you have a beautifully decorated room you truly love. Plus, the designer tips and tricks she shares throughout make the whole process feel so much easier and more manageable. I can’t recommend it enough!" - Wanda Simone
"Wish I had this for my first home"
"Lauren articulates wisdom and practical tips for decorating in a way that is so very efficient and accessible. I wish I had this resource when I first began decorating my own home!" - Rachel Paxton

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will you be designing my room for me?
I will be designing your room WITH you, but I will not be delivering an a la carte design to you. By taking this course rather than hiring a decorator, you will save thousands of dollars in the long run.
In the course, you'll watch video lessons of me teaching you my entire room makeover planning and executing process. These skills will be applicable for the rest of your life! No matter what trends come and go.
In the community, you'll be able to share photos of your home and ask questions to get even more guidance as I walk with you step-by-step to a completely finished room. Not only will you get guidance from me, but you'll also get help from your classmates. Because when it comes to doing projects, having friends who "get it" to encourage you along the way is just as invaluable.
Can I add on the community later after buying the course?
If community enrollment is still open, of course! But once it's closed, it's closed until the next semester. Since we walk through the room planning process together from beginning to end, it's important that everyone in the community is on the same step at the same time.
Do I need Facebook to do this?
The course is hosted on a dedicated platform, so you can study the material on your own as much as you need. But to add on the community, a Facebook account is required.
What if I only want to do a room refresh, not a full room makeover?
That totally works too! The information in this course is still applicable whether you have a room that's sort of finished and just needs some polishing or you are preparing for an entire home renovation.
Walking through a room makeover from start to finish will give you the best learning opportunity for a beginner, but our system is repeatable for any project big or small
Does this system work for large home renovations?
Yes! The skills and resources you will get from this course can still be used in bigger home improvement projects like kitchens and bathrooms. I especially recommend the Extra Credit version of the course to give you access to the Lab Partner lesson and Room Makeover Roadmap spreadsheet planner.
Can I join the community without buying the course?
Unfortunately, no. The course gives you all of the invaluable information you'll need. The community serves as support to guide you through applying what you learn in the course.
Can I do this if my style is different from yours?
Absolutely! In fact, I hope your style is different from mine! We celebrate uniqueness around here. Homes have different personalities just like people do. There is no need to follow trends or spend money on the "latest and greatest". The goal is for you to feel empowered by your own beautiful uniqueness.
Can I hire you to be my designer?
I wish, but no. At this season of my life raising a family, I am not available for hire at this time or anytime in the foreseeable future.
Sharing this course is my way of still providing personalized help to you without taking on individual clients. But I'm excited to see the transformation you make after what you learn!
How can I get in touch with you?
Feel free to email [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns. Ann and I are happy to help.
What forms of payment do you take?
We accept PayPal, debit card, or credit card payment through our safe, secure checkout.
