Course Overview
Trends dominate the home design field today more than ever. Television shows, websites, paint companies, and furniture retailers tell us what colors, shapes, textures, and aesthetic we should surround ourselves with in our home. They lead us to believe that we aren’t artistic or creative enough to know how to make our home beautiful. They convince us to listen to their “expert” advice rather than to trust ourselves.
The result is a proliferation of homes that all look alike, as one by one we pledge allegiance to trends without regard for our personal taste.
Worse, we sacrifice our individuality, our bank balances, and our environment to stay current with the never-ending cycle of trends.
Let’s change that.
With your eyes, essence, and intuition leading the way, this 8-week online course led by renowned interior designer, author, and teacher Linda Applewhite; will train you to foster the inner designer’s self-knowledge and confidence you need to walk a different path.
An Eye for Beauty teaches you to see yourself and your home through new eyes.
And this self-knowledge may even reward you with a rippling effect that gives you a greater appreciation of the beauty surrounding you far beyond the walls of your home.
You teach with such soul, insight, and indeed an “eye for beauty!” I can’t wait for the next course!

Recommended Prerequisites

Linda taught me to slow down and look more closely at colors, shapes, textures and patterns, so I can truly understand what appeals to me.

My Eye for Beauty flavors everything I do. What I notice on my daily walks in nature. Where I sit in a restaurant. What hotel room I feel comfortable in. What I wear each day. How I wrap a gift. How I present food on a plate. How I paint a painting. And how I respond to the beauty of people I encounter as well as animals, flowers, trees, sunrises and sunsets. There is astounding beauty in the world if we only stop for a moment and look.

Trust Your Creative Intuition
Do you hold back from designing your space in certain ways because it seems too weird, colorful, or off-trend? Or because you don’t trust yourself ? Be brave. Express yourself. Surround yourself not only with what you think is beautiful but what you feel is beautiful.
