If you want to create a home you love, but can't find affordable interior design services, are overwhelmed by interior design software or interior design books, THIS is the answer for you! Designer in a Binder allows you to become your own interior designer without spending a fortune.
Imagine how it would feel to love every space in your home. Imagine how much more relaxed you would feel if every time you walked through your door you felt like you were walking into a space that is beautiful and that feels like a reflection of you and your family. Imagine how great it would feel to proudly invite guests over to spend time in your home. Imagine how much more rested and relaxed you would feel after spending a weekend in a home that made you feel happy instead of frustrated.
Now let me ask you… Do you ever feel overwhelmed when it comes to decorating your home? Feel embarrassed by your home? Make spontaneous purchases for your home only to find that they don't work, causing you to have wasted time and/or money? Feel like your home doesn't reflect your style or personality? Put off decorating your home because you can't find affordable interior design services? Feel like you don't have a large enough budget to make your design visions come to life?
Believe me, I have been there, too. And a lot of people feel the same way.
About 5 months ago, I surveyed my readers like you to find out what struggles they are facing so that I could plan what blog posts to write over the next year. I discovered that over 50% of you struggle with coming up with a cohesive plan for your home. I wasn’t totally shocked by that because I used to feel the same way! I also learned that many of you would like to hire an interior designer, but that you haven't because interior design services are expensive and/or that you WANT to design your home yourself, but just aren't sure how to do it.
You can take a peek at my survey response results below.
After reading all the survey responses I got, I created my brand new product that I am SO excited about! It addresses every single struggle that you are having when it comes to designing and decorating your home.
Designer in a Binder is my complete design system that will help you create a home you love for a FRACTION of the price of even just 1 hour with an interior designer! And it will save you tons of money and time by empowering you to create a design plan that makes sense BEFORE you start spending money or wasting time.
I have to admit that I struggled with designing my own homes for years. I spent lots of money on purchases that didn’t work only to have to waste time returning those items. Or worse, I tried to make them work for a year or so, only to finally admit defeat and give them away or sell them for much less than I paid for them.
But almost worse than the wasted time and money was how defeated I felt. I was confident in my taste and style, but somehow, I couldn’t pull it all together in my own home. It was frustrating to say the least.
So over the years, I have experimented and learned a lot and I finally feel like I can create a cohesive plan for any room, or even my entire home, before I ever break out my wallet or paint brush. It has saved me loads of money, tons of time and most importantly, it has eliminated my frustration and has made designing and decorating my home FUN! And that’s what I want for you, too! I want you to have the home of your dreams, within your budget and I want you to enjoy the process of creating it!
When I learned that so many of my readers are struggling with the same interior design obstacles I used to struggle with, I decided to do something about it! I started by researching existing products to see if there was something I could recommend to my readers. But I couldn’t find anything that was just right. Everything I found was either too confusing and technical or way too expensive.
So, I decided to create my own product and that is how Designer in a Binder was born.
Designer in a Binder is a complete design system that is easy to follow. And it will absolutely empower you to create a home you love.
Who is Designer in a Binder for?
Designer in a Binder is for anyone who wants to create a home they love, but feels overwhelmed, confused or disorganized when it comes to their home decorating.
PERFECT for anyone who has absolutely no idea where to start. They may feel like a deer stuck in the headlights of interior design.
PERFECT for anyone who already has a pretty good sense of style and design, but needs help pulling all of their ideas together so that their entire home feels cohesive and intentional.
PERFECT for anyone who needs a nudge to declutter their home and let go of items they no longer want or use so that their new design dreams can come to life.
PERFECT for anyone who is thrilled with the design choices they make and their ability to pull it all together, but who wants to stay a bit more organized during and after their home projects.
A group of people have had the opportunity to preview Designer in a Binder and here’s some awesome feedback I got in an email from Margaux, who was one of my advance testers for Designer in a Binder.
“OMG, Designer in a Binder is amazing! I used to get totally overwhelmed when it came to decorating and renovating our home. Sometimes I would get motivated, save tons of pictures on Pinterest and even start researching furniture pieces. But then I would give up–I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on new furniture when I didn’t feel confident in my design choices.
I didn’t believe it was possible, but between the design worksheets and what I learned while reading the first section of Designer in a Binder, I am finally confident that I can not only come up with a design, but I know it will look great and we will love it!
But I have to tell you, my biggest breakthrough was realizing that I can achieve everything I wanted to do without spending a fortune. Designer in a Binder made helped me easily identify the best places to spend money and where I could get creative in saving. By using the budget planning worksheet and filling out the worksheets with the details of our design priorities, I was almost shocked to find that our renovation and decorating budget will stretch much farther than I thought.
And another thing… I live outside of Washington D.C., which has a pretty high-cost of living, so hiring an interior designer was going to cost me a minimum of $100/hour. If I hired a designer, I would have a beautiful design plan and wouldn’t have any money to implement it, lol! Now with Designer in a Binder, I can come up with my own design plan and use my budget to purchase things for my house.
What exactly is Designer in a Binder?
Well, first of all, it's not just another eBook about interior decorating :) It’s a PDF book and workbook that you can print at home and put in any binder you like. The first part of Designer in a Binder walks you through practical interior design tips that anyone can follow. It will teach you the failproof way to pick a color palette for your home, how to mix colors and patterns, how to choose pieces that are the correct scale and the basics of space planning! You will finish reading Designer in a Binder and feel like you understand everything you need to tackle your own designs, without any extra super technical or confusing information that other interior design books include.
The second part of Designer in a Binder is where the magic happens. It’s full of assignments for you to complete. And by completing them, you will actually be creating a design plan for yourself one step at a time! The workbook portion includes tools for getting started without feeling overwhelmed. You will begin by completing the “Getting Started Questionnaire” which will help evaluate exactly what you want to change and accomplish in your space.
The workbook portion of Designer in a Binder will also help you come up with ideas for raising money to help fund your design plans. That's right, you can sell what you no longer want or need and use that money toward purchases for your new design.
Next, the workbook provides you with tools for setting and using a budget. With a budget planning worksheet and a professional quotes tracker, you will be able to set a reasonable budget and stick to it.
There are also tools for staying on task and on schedule. The project timeline and master “to-do” worksheets will ensure you actually complete what you set out to do!
And some of my favorite features of Designer in a Binder are the tools for staying organized long-term. With the “design archives” worksheets, you will never forget what paint color or tile you used, so touch-ups or repairs down the road will be a breeze.
If you use Designer in a Binder, you will create spaces you love. Period.
But here’s the thing. The design system I created will only work if you do the work! If you’re expecting Designer in a Binder, or anything else, to magically solve your design dilemmas, please do NOT buy it. You should only buy it if you actually intend to use it and complete the workbook for each space in your home you work on.
At this point, you probably have only one big question left—how much does Designer in a Binder cost?
It costs a fraction of the price of what you would pay an interior designer to help you design your home! Interior designers charge anywhere from $75 an hour to $500 an hour depending on where you live. That means you could pay $100 just for a designer’s input on paint colors for a single room and let’s face it, there’s soooooo much more to creating a home you love than paint colors.
Instant download of the printable PDF of Designer in a Binder (so you can print it off and put it in any binder you love)!
Access to the private Facebook group ($360 value) (in the Facebook group you can ask design questions, join me for Q&A sessions, participate in design challenges and get tons of support and feedback from other design enthusiasts that are members)!
If you feel like you want some guidance as you work your way through Designer in a Binder, I definitely recommend the PLUS package. In addition to being able to ask design questions and get feedback on decisions you are making in your own home, the Facebook group will feature design challenges to help keep you motivated and, well, just for fun! And occasionally I may raffle off some amazing prizes like free room makeover mockups that I create in Photoshop. I’m so excited about this community! Membership sites that offer similar services cost between $200 and $400 a year, so getting access to this exclusive group as part of the $67 package deal is an incredible value.
Or, you can choose to purchase the basic package, which gets you the printable PDF and the video explaining how to assemble and use your binder. The basic package will give you all the tools you need to plan a successful design you will love for one small price that is a FRACTION of what it would cost you for just a 1 hour consultation with an interior designer. And that consultation would barely get you started in your home design journey.
For just launch week (February 19th – 23rd, 2018), you can get the PLUS package for just $67 ($474 value) OR the basic package for $47. Yes, Designer in a Binder will help you design your entire home for that low, one-time payment! After this special launch week, those prices jump up to $97 and $77.
