413 // Want a Cozy Home That you Love? START HERE!!!

Dani Watson (0:00)

If you've been listening to me talk about the Cozy Home Workshop for the last few weeks, and you've been thinking, that sounds really nice. I probably need that. Or I would love to finally figure out my house. But you still haven't signed up. This episode is for you.

We grew up with the phrase, home is where the heart is. But our culture has shifted, and now the message is, home should be Pinterest perfect. I'm calling BS on that message. Home, it's not about the stuff, it's about the story. And whether you know it or not, your home is a reflection of you and is already saying something. So what is it that you want it to say? Hey, I'm Dani, a former first grade teacher turned home decorator. Going from a dual income to a single income, so I could stay home with my baby's meant budget. Like ramen eating, goodwill shopping budget. And I learned a few things along the way. Like how to bring big style to home without breaking the bank. And I'm sharing it all with you. Tips, tricks, decor, and design advice so you can learn to tell your story with your style. Where you can start living free from the Pinterest Perfect Trap, and start living the life of intention. Welcome to Fig and Farm at Home, where we design happy living, and where it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.

Because at this point, you probably don't need me to tell you one more time what we're going to talk about inside of the workshop. You know, we're going to talk about your home, your style, what isn't working, how to make decisions, how to stop buying the things that don't quite work, how to create spaces that feel cohesive, and cozy, and most importantly, like you.

But you're hesitating, and I get it. Maybe you're thinking, I don't have time. Yep, I totally get that. Or maybe you're thinking, I've tried things like this before, and I never finish.

Or, my house is such a mess right now, I don't even know where to start.

Or maybe you're thinking, I should be able to figure this out by myself. And it's you I want to talk to for a minute. Because you probably could. Eventually, you could spend another six months on Pinterest. You could save another 400 Instagram posts. You could buy another book. You could order another rug and then return it. You could stand in your living room staring at the wall thinking, it needs something, and then keep staring because you don't know what it needs. Or you could come spend three days with me and a group of women who are in exactly the same boat. And we can actually start working through it. Because here's what I've learned after years of teaching women how to decorate their homes. Most women don't need more inspiration.

They've got it. They've got it in buckets. They need a way to make decisions. They need to understand why something isn't working, and someone to say, yep, that's why. Or nope, don't buy that. Or here's what I would do next. And once you understand that, decorating gets so much easier. And that's really what I want you to experience from this workshop. Not a prettier house at the end of three days, although I really hope that's where we're going. I want you to leave thinking, oh, I can do this. I can look at a room and know what I'm seeing. I can figure out what's missing. I can make a purchase without second guessing myself. I can create a home that feels like mine.

And maybe most importantly, I can actually have fun doing it.

Because I don't want decorating to be one more thing on your enormous list of things you're supposed to accomplish.

I want it to be something you enjoy, something that gives you energy instead of taking it away, something that makes you walk into your room, take a deep breath, because, oh my gosh, I love being here. That's the transformation I'm after. And if you've been thinking, but Dani, my house is too far gone, it isn't. If you've been thinking, I don't have a big budget, you don't need one. If you've been thinking, I'm not naturally good at decorating, great. That's exactly why I'm here. And if you've been thinking, I don't have time for another thing. Hey sis, listen, I understand that one more than you know.

But that's also why I created this the way that I did. You don't need to become an interior designer. You don't need to spend hours every day working on your house. You don't need to get it all done at once. You just need to know what to do next. And that's what we're going to figure out together.
