I Have Good News
Have plenty of quality furniture, but some of it's looking a little, well... dingy.
You’ve collected some nice pieces over the years, but your style has evolved — and you're ready for an update.
You refuse to replace your older, quality furniture with mass produced items just because they're a little dated.
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 space.
You're in the right place
and you don't have to do it alone

When your home feels unattractive or unfinished...

The step-by-step program to confidently update what you already have

"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."

And with the easy budgeting tools, you’ll know exactly where to invest and where to save so your makeover stays realistic and efficient.

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
Updating older, well-made furnishings with new fabrics, finishes and thoughtful additions — every makeover feels unique to the individual
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.

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 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, 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 new pieces, fabrics and finishes is usually $2,500 - $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 the beauty of this program! Your guides & workbooks help 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 Q & A sessions.
3 to 5 new items or purchases seems to be the sweet spot 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 to map it all out.
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 Q & A sessions.
Furniture built prior to the 1980's lasts well over
100 years with proper care, whereas current, mass produced furniture needs replacement within 12 years.
Refreshing your home around '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.

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 — 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 Program.
Join me and learn my 3-part roadmap to update and elevate your existing pieces with well-chosen additions, better furniture layouts and fresh fabrics and finishes — for a home with meaning, patina and lasting style.
