When I began teaching Interior Decorating there were no
acceptable programs, books or visuals. So, over the years, I
developed my own Course. Simultaneously, I began my clientele
practice and speaking engagements for Professional Trade Shows
and Conferences.
It is now my privilege to share the Course' Text, Visual Aids and
Tools with other Teachers and their Students. I hope you will
find it to be a complete and easily administered program in your
Classrooms. Here's just some of what's in the Study Program:

120 PIECE MAGNETIC TEMPLATE & COLOR WHEEL
| This ingenious tool moves the 1/4" scale furniture at will. Because each piece gets attached to the magnetic grid, the display can be held up vertically or used to copy a variety of room arrangements. |
Understanding color schemes is directly related to room size illusions, proportion, contrast and the power of color treatments. SHOWN LEFT: The back-to-back view of the color wheel. |
