You can spot a room you love in seconds.

You just don’t know how to create one for yourself.

You walk past that room every day.

Maybe you’ve stopped really seeing it – the way you stop noticing something that’s been bothering you for so long it’s just become part of the background.

But every now and then you catch a glimpse and think – this still isn’t right. Why is this still not right?

It’s not for lack of trying.

  • You’ve moved the furniture. 
  • Bought some new things. 
  • Repainted maybe. 
  • Scrolled Pinterest until your eyes crossed. 

You have great taste – you know you do, because you can walk into someone else’s home or stop mid-scroll on a beautiful room and feel it immediately. That pull. That exhale. “That’s what I want.”

But somehow it never quite translates into your own space.

And that gap – between the home you can picture and the home you’re actually living in – is quietly exhausting.

You don’t want to hire someone to do it for you. You want to do it yourself. You just need someone to show you how.

Decorating, like baking a cake, needs to be done in the right order.

You wouldn’t start with the icing – but most of us do exactly that when it comes to our homes.

We start with the pretty little things. The throw pillows. The candles. The vase from HomeGoods that seemed perfect in the store.

And then we wonder why the room never feels finished.

When you’re decorating, the order is everything.

And once you know that, it changes everything.

That’s why i created the

Simple Decorating Plan

The Simple Decorating Plan walks you through decorating in the right order – five steps, each one building on the one before it – so nothing gets wasted, nothing gets undone, and every decision you make actually sticks.

It’s not about having a big budget or a design degree. It’s not about making your home look like a magazine.

It’s about making your home look and feel like you – whatever that means for your life, your family, your space.

The 5 Steps – In the Right Order

Most decorating advice tells you what to do. This plan tells you when – because the order is everything.

  • Step 1 – Find your unique Style DNA
    The foundation. Before you buy a single thing.
  • Step 2 – Plan your space
    The bones. Before anything goes on the walls or the floor.
  • Step 3 – The Decorating Trifecta
    The three things that transform a room more than anything else – and that most of us seriously underestimate.
  • Step 4 – Decorate the walls
    Only after everything else is in place. There’s a reason for that – and once you know it, you’ll never paint a room first again.
  • Step 5 – Add accessories
    The finishing layer. Added last so it actually works – and so satisfying when everything underneath it is already right.

Each step has its own video lesson and worksheets. You work through them at your own pace, one room at a time, and come back to them whenever you need to.

A Note From Shannon

Wife, mom, author, and firm believer that you can have a home you truly love without spending a fortune or stressing over perfection.

I’ve spent the better part of the last two decades decorating my own homes – from a tiny bungalow where we homeschooled our kids around the dining room table, to the home we’re in now – and helping other women do the same.

And the thing I’ve learned over and over again is this: it’s not about budget. It’s not about square footage. It’s not about having the right furniture or the perfect space. It’s about having a plan and following it in the right order.

I’ve watched women transform rooms they’d given up on. I’ve heard from readers who finally – finally – feel at home in their own houses. I’ve done it myself more times than I can count.

The Simple Decorating Plan is everything I know about decorating, organized into five steps anyone can follow. Real homes. Real budgets. Real results.

I can’t wait to see what you do with it.

xo, Shannon

FAQs

How long will it take to go through the plan?

That depends entirely on you and your home. Each video lesson is short and focused — you can watch a full step in one sitting. The worksheets take longer because they require you to actually do the work in your space. Most people work through one room over a few weeks, fitting it in around real life. There’s no timeline to follow and no deadline to meet. This is yours to work through at your own pace, one room at a time.

Do I need a big budget to make this work?

No. The Simple Decorating Plan works with whatever budget you have — including a very small one. The whole point is to stop wasting money on things that don’t work and start making better decisions with what you have. A lot of the most important steps cost nothing at all.

I’m a complete beginner. Is this for me?

Yes — this is exactly for you. The plan is designed for women who love their homes but have no design training and no idea where to start. Every lesson is warm, practical, and jargon-free. If you’ve been afraid to start because you don’t know enough, this is the place to begin.

What if I’ve already started decorating a room? Do I have to start over?

Not necessarily. You can absolutely apply the plan to a room that’s already in progress. The worksheets will help you figure out what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do next. You might find that a few things need to be reconsidered — but that’s the plan doing its job.

I rent. Will this work for me?

Yes. The principles in The Simple Decorating Plan work in any space — owned or rented, large or small, new build or older home. Style DNA, furniture planning, rugs, drapery, lighting, accessories — all of it applies whether you own the walls or not.

How is this different from just watching decorating videos on YouTube?

YouTube is great for inspiration. This is a system. The difference is structure and order — knowing not just what to do but when to do it, and having worksheets that make you actually apply it to your specific space. Watching decorating content is passive. The Simple Decorating Plan makes you do the work, which is why it actually produces results.

How long do I have access?

Forever. Lifetime access means exactly that — you can come back to any lesson, any worksheet, any time. Use it for your living room now, your bedroom next year, and your next home after that.

Your home should feel like you. Not almost like you. Not like a version of you from three years ago or a Pinterest board you’ve been adding to since 2018. Like the you that exists right now – with your taste, your life, your people in it.

You already know how to spot a room you love. The Simple Decorating Plan teaches you how to create one – for yourself, in your own home, on your own budget. Room by room, for as long as you live there.
