A
SPACE
THAT'S
YOU!
Environmental Design Coaching |
| |
|
 Creating
the
perfect
home:
It's much more than a look…
You've got a file of clippings, all
gorgeous, that you've been collecting forever. The time is right.
You're ready to create the home of your dreams.
But how many times have you seen
people set out to create a warm and welcoming home only to end up with
a beautifully decorated museum? How do you create "a space that's you?"
It's tempting to just turn it over to
the professionals. But no professional can build the "you" into your
space. Only you can do that.
|
| |
|
|
|
What's the unifying theme for
that overwhelming pile of clippings? You are!
In magnificent complexity, you
are the central theme that can pull together every beautiful feature of
your home.
|
| |
|
|
|
A Space That's You will help
you do that. Through a carefully structured series of exploratory
consultations, and using special tools designed for this purpose,
you'll be able to identify elements that will have a powerful impact on
the way you feel about – and in – the space you are designing.
Whether you're redecorating, buying,
or building, you'll be able to create more of what you really want.

The difference
between a home and a museum: YOU.
A house feels like a home when
it reflects who you are, who you wish to be, where you've been and what
you value. In short, a house is a home when you can see yourself
in it.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Here's how it works…
A Space That's You provides individual
coaching that will help you bring forth those specific details about
yourself that will enable you to create a fulfilling space, a space
that you will love!
|
| |
|
|
|
In a series of guided
explorations, you'll have the opportunity to talk about the places
you've lived and visited and loved, the special objects you've
collected and their meaning, the values that you want your home to
reflect – and so much more.
|

|
By the end of our sessions, you'll
have an integrated vision of the home you want to create, one that you
can share with your interior designer or architect as a basis for the
ultimate design. And if you're working on your own, you'll be able to
sort through all those photos and ideas you've been saving, and select
the elements that truly capture the feeling you want your space to
have.
Here's how we'll work
together…
- We'll meet for a total of six hours
of exploratory consultation and coaching.
- We'll use a set of environmental
design tools, each created to increase your insight into how you want
your space to look and feel.
- You'll work between sessions, on
your own or with your designer, to apply the insights you've gained to
the design choices you're making.
- We'll connect through email
between sessions in a way that's helpful to you in the process of
developing a concept for your new space.
- You'll also be able to request
10-minute laser coaching calls to efficiently explore design issues
that arise.
- Your completed environmental
design tools will form a Personal Design Key that will guide you as you
move forward.

| Here's
what
you'll
gain… |
| |
 |
You'll
have
the
opportunity
to
reflect
upon the people and places that have
shaped your personality, and to see how they contribute to your
personal design preferences |
| |
|
|
You'll be
able to create a place that feels like home from the first time you
walk through the door |
| |
|
|
You'll know
so much more about what you want and need that you'll avoid false
starts and wasted time with your interior designer or architect. |
| |
|
|
You'll have
a compilation of our work together that you can give to your designer
or architect – or use on your own - as a basis for your design |

A Space That's You
will help you shape the environment that shapes your life.
The space we live has so much more
importance than simply providing us with shelter and aesthetic
pleasure. A space that is tailored to the personalities of the people
who live in it can do all of these things:
- Provide a haven from the barrage of
everyday life.
- Remind you of your ideals and
goals by its design and by the objects you place inside.
- Re-center you by incorporating
symbols of your strengths and value – whether it's pieces of your
woodworking, photos of your children, or the plants you've nurtured
into full-grown beauty.
- Connect you – through its design
and even its fragrance -- with places and people you love
- Set the stage for you to do the
things you value most – whether that's entertaining or studying,
playing music or playing with your children.
- Increase your sense of well-being
- Increase your productivity
Re-energize you by surrounding you with the elements that make you come
alive!
Not only that, but by using insight
into yourself as your primary design tool, you'll find that you grow as
an individual. The process will gain in momentum and even feel chaotic
at times – but at the conclusion, you will have clarified who you are
as a person – and you'll be ready to build a space that fits you like a
glove.
It is said that home is
where the heart is. But in a very real way, it is within your heart
that your ideal home can be found.
Are you up to the
challenge of looking inward to create a space that's you?
Happy Designing!

Designer Wisdom
"What makes a home feel 'homey,' lived
in, cozy, and full of life? As opposed to the trophy house where, as
the saying goes, the lights are on, but nobody's home?
Mainly, it nurtures authenticity. You can only belong somewhere that
relates to you in a genuine way."

Around You.
