What You Have
an online home design experience
Your older pieces are not the problem...
Have plenty of quality furniture, but some of it's looking a little, well... dingy.
You refuse to replace your older, quality furniture with mass produced items just because they're a little dated.
You’ve collected some nice pieces over the years, but your style has evolved — and you're ready for an update.
You want to preserve your older, high quality pieces but you don't know what to keep, discard, refresh or repurpose.
You want a home that never goes out of style, that embraces occasional updates — without starting from scratch.
You’re moving, downsizing or blending homes and you’re unsure how to make everything work in your new spaces.
You're in the right place

"Shiree did two homes for us, with two very different styles helping us make selections of furniture, rugs, fabrics, window coverings and lighting. Both homes surpassed our expectations. She was really able to capture our various architectural styles."

7 'At-a-Glance' Cheatsheets
Step-by-step cheat sheets to guide you through the Planning and Design Modules giving you an 'at-a-glance' overview at every stage
Sourcing Your Projects Like a Design Pro
Coveted fabric showrooms like Lee Jofa and Pindler & Pindler are typically reserved for interior designers — but in this module I give you three ways to access them.
So you can source the same quality fabrics your designer would, at several budget levels. Designer fabrics are inherently easier to decorate with, and the single biggest factor in making old and new pieces feel like they belong together.
And for sourcing other items — from one-of-a-kind vintage finds to designer-approved everyday classics — I share my personal go-to online resources so you can shop with the same insider knowledge I've built over 25 years.
Retail & Trade Resources Guide
These sessions alone are worth the investment. Send me your photos before you make purchases, and receive expert help on fabrics, color choices, new additions and layouts.
With over 25 years in design, from stores to showcases to my newspaper column I'll help you gain the clarity and confidence to create spaces that reflect your taste and never go out of style.
This is your chance to get thoughtful, professional feedback tailored to your taste, your furniture and your home.

Private Room Review with Shirée
They weren’t sure how it would all fit together in their new spaces—but they knew they wanted to retain as much of their older pieces as possible.
Charlene kept the beloved kitchen table and chairs she inherited from her mother slipcovering the chairs in a soft blue fabric and refinishing the table.
She added a new, warm white armchair, reupholstered two older chairs she already loved, and layered in a few vintage rugs. They both love the fresh look of their older furnishings.

Real Life Makeovers
Refreshing their homes around their older, well-made furnishings with new fabrics, finishes and select additions — every makeover feels unique to the individua
She had worked with a designer years before but the designer had moved away, and Pam's quality pieces needed an update.
She choose soft blue fabrics to recover her older gold and red pieces: her sofa, armchair, accent chair and dining room chair cushions. These simple changes gave her dated French Country style a new, beautifully updated look.
Pam was able to preserve and beautifully update her quality furniture without buying any new pieces at all.
Pam
updating her older pieces with fabric
After losing my husband of 25 years, all the pieces we had inherited and things we purchased together took on new meaning and importance.
The sofa was a piece he had in his dorm in college. I had it recovered.
I slipcovered our favorite old matching armchairs and ottoman. Had custom pillows made. I had a decorative painter custom paint the hutch displaying my favorite hotel plate and cranberry glass collections.
The fabrics, finishes and custom pillows not only preserved the meaningful pieces in my home, but they also updated them beautifully. My home has so much meaning.

Core Bonuses

Before anything gets ordered — every fabric, lamp, rug, pillow form, fringe, workroom and artisan — it gets its own sheet.
Vendor, cost, lead time, contact, shipping — all tracked in one place.
Professional design firms use expensive software for this… you'll use a pretty binder.
Design Projects Worksheets
This guided worksheet walks you through exactly how to gather, compare and narrow your samples down to the 7-10 that work beautifully together.
Then records every final fabric and fringe detail — company, color, price per yard, pattern repeat — so nothing gets lost between your design decisions and the workroom.
Final Fabric Choices Worksheet
This checklist tells you exactly what types of fabrics to pull samples of — and how many — so you shop for fabrics with a clear plan.
Organized by fabric type, weight and category, it ensures you come home with a curated abundance to work from rather than a confusing pile of maybes.

Any Questions?
These are the ones I often hear
While most online programs offer broad, aspirational design help, the Meaningful Makeover helps you decide what to keep, what to replace and what enhances what you have. In your guides and workbooks. I draw on 25 years experience to address challenges like mixing design styles and eras, choosing fabrics and finishes, opening up your spaces and creating the perfect room layout.
There are two frameworks to help you create your budget. The Good, Better, Best Budget Model, which shows what’s possible at different levels. The other is a simple formula based on your income. The sweet spot for a few new pieces, fabrics and finishes is usually $4,500 - $10,000, depending on what you already have. But with lifetime access to the program, you can work in phases, at your own comfort level.
That's one of the benefits of the program! The Taking Stock lesson helps you decide what to keep, refurbish, replace or repurpose. You'll learn how to mix styles, choose fabrics and finishes and you'll get personal feedback via your 6 weekly group Room Review sessions.
3 to 7 new purchases seems to be the sweet spot to beautifully freshen up the things you already have — whether that's recovering a sofa and armchairs or buying new accent chairs, custom pillows and having an older hutch painted and antiqued. Your lesson on budgeting will help you set realistic expectations and map it all out before you buy anything.
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 all the major styles — 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. And you'll get personalized feedback from me inside your 6 weekly, group Room Review sessions.

Your rooms will finally feel complete — not another work in progress
Working with design clients for over 25 years, I’ve noticed many of them call on me to replace the wrong things in their homes — often their older, high-quality furniture — when what they really need is to refurbish them and choose better things to go with them.
That’s why I created the Meaningful Makeover Home Design Experience.
Join me and use my 3-part roadmap to update and elevate your home with better furniture layouts, fresh fabrics and finishes, and a few select new additions — for a home with meaning, patina and lasting style.
