Decorating/Home Staging Class, Flowery Branch, GA - Week 8

Decorating/Home Staging Class, Flowery Branch, GA - Week 8

I am finding it hard to believe that this Wednesday night is the final session for our Decorating/Home Staging class taught at Blackshear Place Baptist Church. What a great time we've had! Here's a recap of where we've been:

• Week 1 - Introduction
• Week 2 - Home Staging(checking air quality, decluttering, cleaning, assessing each room for staging, rearranging furniture, case studies)
• Week 3 - Color (hue, value, temperature, intensity, the color wheel, using various color schemes)
• Week 4 - Decorating Styles (country, traditional/formal, eclectic, casual, contemporary, and variations thereof)
• Week 5 - Elements of Design (line, form, space, light, pattern, texture)
• Week 6 - Principles of Design (balance, proportion, scale, unity, emphasis)
• Week 7 - Decorating Trends of the Day: What's Hot, What's Not

In addition to following our instructional outline each week, we've also analyzed many photographs to see what works and why, discussed decorating dilemmas our class members have had and what to do about them, and have embarked on our own decorating projects. This week we will wrap things up by answering any additional questions and completing our projects which involve the following:

1. Selecting a room from a house plan and drawing it to scale on a sheet of graft paper
2. Determining the decorating style of the room
3. Choosing a color scheme and finding appropriate color strips
4. Finding fabric which incorporates the color scheme
5. Drawing in appropriate furniture
6. Adding lighting and accessories
