DIY & Home Design Without the Overwhelm

Helping women make confident design decisions to create a home they love.

At Create a Colorful Life, I share practical DIY education, real-life projects, and a structured approach to home design that makes decisions easier.

If you want a stylish home but feel overwhelmed by choices, second-guess every decision, or don’t know where to start, you are not alone.

When home projects stall, it can feel like you are not cut out for this. But it’s not a lack of ability. It’s the mental weight of too many decisions, too many options and too much differing advice.

What you need is a clear framework for each step of the process.

That’s where I can help!

Why I teach design differently

Most people learn about home design by looking at finished rooms.

Before-and-afters can be inspiring, but they rarely show how decisions are actually made.

I don’t teach design by focusing on the end result.
I teach you how to think through design decisions while you’re making them.

That means learning how to:

  • understand what you’re drawn to

  • evaluate options without overthinking

  • make choices that work together

  • move forward without waiting for everything to be perfect

It’s learning to trust yourself and teaching you how to make confident choices so your home comes together in a way that feels right to you.
