Hi, I’m Tara & I’m an interior designer.
I wrote this ebook to teach you how I transform outdated oak homes into something lovely, step by step and room by room.
My mission is to make beautiful interior design simple by teaching you the basics in the most attainable way possible.
This ebook is a 100 page PDF guide that takes you step-by-step through my entire process and philosophy on redesigning a space without removing any oak.
Over my 25 years as a professional interior designer, I've refined this unique approach to meeting clients where they are.
I have also included all the supporting content I could think of that would make it easier for you to just get started.
I can't wait to help you love where you live!
More thorough than a quick email reply.
More cost-effective for than hiring me for a private consultation.
More efficient than months on a waiting list.
More educational than just doing what I advised without understanding why,
