What Everyone Should Know About Lamps

By 09/19/2024October 14th, 2024No Comments

Struggling to find reliable decorating advice online? Discover how this supportive community can transform your home decorating journey and help you find better answers all without having to sort through conflicting advice.

So you know how we all use Dr. Google for any and every question that pops into our head? And that’s great because often we do get an answer that is super helpful.

But what about when we don’t know the right question to ask?

Or maybe we think we have the answer but we’re missing something?

Or when something seems so obvious, but it’s really not?

That’s where the danger zone lives for having things go really wrong.

And we just don’t know what we don’t know, ya know?

What’s the right way to hang drapes?

Drapes are a case in point.

It’s certainly the single, most obvious reason why 99% of the planet installs drapery wrong.

Because it doesn’t occur to most people to search how to hang them correctly. 

You have a window and a rod, and you want your curtains to cover the window, so it seems self-explanatory to just hang them directly over the window and have them end where the window ends.

But that means the window looks short. The panels will block light and overall it’s just not elegant or pretty.

See how much prettier and more custom it is to be able to stack the panels to the sides of the window frame and create the sense of height with a floor to ceiling installation?

It feels overwhelming to search Google for an answer…

Searching Google for an answer feels like wandering through a dense forest, where every path looks the same and it’s easy to get lost among the trees. Have you ever felt this too after searching for an answer about your home project?

When you’re trying to find answers online, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sea of conflicting advice. The sheer volume of information can make it hard to trust even the right answers when they appear.

Wouldn’t it be so much better to learn how to decorate confidently, without wasting your time, energy, and money on missteps?

That’s what my membership community is all about—helping you make decisions that lead to the beautiful spaces you dream of.

It’s a place where learning happens with SUPPORT, and where you connect with others on the same journey.

Because, even if we’re not all on the same page, we’re at least reading from the same book!

I’ve always valued my connection to our colorful community, but what’s been missing is a space for ongoing support and learning.

Now, with this membership, we have a shared space where everyone understands what I mean by “timeless” and learns a more intuitive language for colour through my System.

Inside, we’re not just offering courses—we’re creating an environment where my team, myself, and fellow members can provide guidance and encouragement every step of the way.

You can even participate in fun challenges together. This month’s challenge is to accurately colour match 3-4 paint dots to the colours found in the pattern of the pillows provided. Step-by-step instructions are provided to help everyone at any skill level participate in the challenge! It’s a great way to practice your skills and learn new things about decorating!

 

Speaking of learning new decorating skills…

Introducing a brand new online course: Styling School!

I’m super excited because I’ve been wanting to create a course about styling for some time now. As you probably know, styling is my absolute favourite thing to do! 

I decided to launch the first module of my new Styling School inside the community and it’s available right now! TO EVERYONE WHO JOINS!

 

What’s the right lamp for my room? How many lamps do I need? What shade should I buy?

For a limited time only, the 6 lessons inside my lamp module are available FREE to everyone in my brand new membership site!

Don’t miss it though! Because in a month from now, it will only be available at the Colour Designer and Verified True Colour Expert membership levels.

Lamps: The most underrated, underused accessory

Inside this module there are 6 separate videos where you’ll learn:

Lesson 1: Lampshade Styles (which might be the reason your lamps look wrong)

Lesson 2: All about Light Bulbs (which might be the reason you hate your lamps)

Lesson 3: Wall Sconces/Swing arm lamps instead of Overheads (Overheads are overrated and way over specified)

Lesson 4: The Power of the Colourful Gourd Lamp (Another reason why you might hate your lamps)

Lesson 5: Layering Lamps in front of Art (I’m giving you permission)

Lesson 6: Lamps in the Kitchen (+ the ONLY reason you might not need a lamp in there)

There’s never been a better time to CONNECT with other like-minded decorators!

The lamps are on and the doors are open! 😁 Come on in!

Wondering which online courses are in which membership levels?

I’ve received a few questions about this since opening our doors this week. We created three different membership levels so you could choose the one that fits the level of support and education you need.

While there’s so much more than just online courses INSIDE, here’s a look at what’s included with each level.

Decorator ($9/month)

Colour Designer ($39/month)

Verified True Colour Expert ($99/month)

Wouldn’t it be great to not only access these courses whenever you wanted, but also have a community to chat with about what you are learning or how it applies to your home? That’s what you’ll find inside!

I’ve been asked a number of times for a way to access my online courses via an app – well, THIS IS IT!

Simply download the Mighty Networks app to your phone and search for True Colour Insider! Now you can take online courses or connect with the community ANYWHERE you go. 

LIMITED TIME OFFER!

But here’s the thing… the free mood board course and the lamps module are ONLY available to the Decorator level if you join BEFORE Oct. 4 – so, don’t wait! JOIN NOW.
