The only interior design program that shows you how to refresh, repurpose and elevate what you already have so your home has more meaning, more beauty and a lot less waste.

The Home Makeover

Refresh Your HOme using what- you-have 'alone' — or with Well Chosen Updates

I Have Good News.

You have plenty of furniture, but it could be arranged so much better and some pieces are feeling a little, well... dingy.

You hate the thought of replacing quality furniture or sending it to a landfill just because it's not working well with your other things. 

You're moving into a new home and want it to look fresh, mixing your favorite old pieces with a few new ones in a way that feels updated and beautifully pulled together.

You're downsizing and need help deciding what to keep, what to replace and how to make it all work together beautifully.

You've recently combined households with your spouse or partner, and want your spaces to feel cohesive and reflect you both.

You love the idea of updating your home without starting over, and want guidance to do it beautifully and thoughtfully.




You're in the right place if,

it's easier than you think. And you don't have to do it alone.

Today's sofas and chairs don't have the same quality as what we bought or inherited 25 years ago. Don't spend a small fortune to get mediocre quality at best.

Custom upholstery and slipcovers are the perfect opportunity to preserve your quality old pieces and it has an added perk of customizing them exactly as you want them. With this guide you'll recover your soft furnishings with confidence and love them for 25 years or more. And you'll learn to workroom terminology to communicate effectively. 

Streamline your projects with the exact worksheets I've used in every design project for 25 years.

These practical sheets help you order and track every single item that goes into your project from every throw pillow form to fabric trim, ship dates and more. This download ensures nothing is missed and every detail is beautifully executed. Confidence and clarity at every step.

PETER PERVERE, PIEDMONT, CALIFORNIA


"At our house in Murphys, Shiree assisted us in selecting several pieces of living room furniture. Several years later and the pieces are not only perfect for the space, but have with stood the test of time. We would highly recommend Shiree for interior design."

  • You'll feel confident having friends and family over because your home  looks amazing and feels so inviting.

  • You'll love knowing every room reflects you and a life well lived. Not just a generic look from a Big Box store.

  • You'll stop second guessing every purchase or arrangement and trust your own choices completely.

  • You'll be more 'connected' in your home than ever before, surrounded by things you love, that are looking their best and have meaning in your life.

  • You'll feel great about your smaller ecological footprint, by using what you already have.

  • You'll feel completely at home in a space that looks pulled together, feels personal and supports this exciting new chapter of your life. 

  • With lifetime access to proven frameworks, you’ll enjoy freshening your spaces again and again.

An unattractive, poorly planned home...

Leads to dysfunction and causes feelings of depression and anxiety.


Drains your energy and leaves you feeling unmotivated.


Causes embarrassment which keeps you from inviting over family and friends.


Turns household tasks into frustrating chores, leading to procrastination and decision fatigue.


Does little to inspire self care, healthy eating habits, exercise or much needed downtime.

Can you relate?

A home with beauty and meaning is especially comforting during illness and loss.

"Shiree did two homes for us, with two very different styles helping us make selections of furniture, fabrics, some remodeling, window coverings, lighting, sofas, chairs, pillows, etagere, armoire, dining room set, coffee table, end tables and a beautiful stool. Both homes surpassed our expectations. She was really able to capture our various architectural styles."

Mom had a lot of furniture and accessories in her apartment but initially, they weren't placed well.

She learned that using a medium scale dresser or bookcase topped by a large mirror and flanked by two armchairs visually anchors your spaces like large pieces.

She loves how her many quality accessories and original artwork look when paired and placed beautifully.

Using what she already had plus 3 custom throw pillows, Mom's apartment was completely transformed.

Kathleen also had a lot of furniture but her great room concept didn't feel 'anchored'.

She had a wicker desk set in a guest room that now lives under a living room window giving her another space to 'go to'.

She had a large scale bookcase that was moved next to her existing sofa to perfectly anchor her seating area.

Accessories were paired and placed beautifully.

Artwork was hung to further anchor her spaces.

She ordered 3 new pillows online, some framed prints and a pair of gilded sconces to pull everything together visually.

Charlene had a lot of furniture, antiques, heirlooms and accessories she loved but wasn't sure how to pull them together.

She had a wall of built in bookcases she initially planned to remove. But with the right accessory pairings and placements she was able to turn an eyesore into a beautiful focal point.

A large armoire she already had was added to house  their small flat screen and further anchored her main conversation area.

She purchased several new accessories, added skylights to the living room and found beautiful vintage rugs to finish off her living, dining and entry areas.

So… Any Questions?
These are the ones we often hear.

How does this home makeover program differ from others? 

While most online programs offer broad, aspirational design help, mine helps you decide exactly what to keep, what to replace and what new items and improvements will enhance them. In your guides and workbooks. I draw on 25 years experience to address challenges like mixing design styles,  opening up your spaces and creating the perfect room layout. 

How do I budget for new items if I need them?

There are two frameworks I use inside the lesson on budgets to help you create your budget. One is my Good, Better, Best Budget Framework where I give you three sample budgets to show you what you can get with each. You'll use it with a formula that's based on your income.

How will I know what to keep?

That's the beauty of this program! In your guides & workbooks I help you decide what to keep, refurbish, replace or repurpose. 

What if I need to buy new things? 

3 to 5 new items or purchases seems to be the sweet spot for most people to beautifully freshen up the things you already have whether that's pillows, recovering a sofa or buying new rugs and lamps. Your budget lesson will give you a realistic spending plan.

How do I know I'll like the results?

Well, I have mental telepathy that allows me to read your style... okay, only half kidding. After 25+ years in design, owning stores and working across every major style — I've built this program to help you make confident choices. The Defining Your Style guide inside, walks you through how to identify your aesthetic and blend what you already have into something beautifully personal.

The Meaningful Makeover Program is officially available and it will change your life.


Furniture built prior to the 1980's lasts well over 100 years with proper care, whereas most current furniture needs replacement within 10 years.

Freshening up your home using some or most of 'what-you-have' can save you up to 70% compared to buying all new items. 

 Using existing furniture can decrease household waste by 20-30%, keeping your old pieces out of landfills.

Hey friend, 

As a woman who's experienced many of life's challenges like the loss of a spouse, depression and osteoarthritis, what got me through was taking excellent care of myself and downtime and healing in my beautiful home and garden.

I created the Meaningful Makeover from 25 years experience as a designer to help you not only elevate and enhance your home using what you have first, but also to help you build a lifetime of curated, heirloom quality furnishings that you'll love for years to come.

Whether you're giving a single room a makeover with items you already have or enhancing it with some well chosen new pieces, take the first step here with a Meaningful Makeover Online Home Design Program
