What students are saying about this workshop…

 

"Thank you so much for all of your wonderful instruction. It truly was the most enjoyable class I've ever taken. But, what's more important is that I now feel energized, inspired and armed with the info I need to get started! Thank you for sharing your expertise and for your hospitality and thoughtfulness."

Dana Clements - Pittsburgh,  PA

  March 2010 students Tara Reardon, Dana Clements and Mary Puppa

"Your class was the most enjoyable and informative class I have ever taken! I know that the information you shared will work on a daily basis because you use it every day. Some of my design instructors in college had not been out in the field and their information wasn't always the most useful in our line of business. I know that the knowledge you shared is priceless! Although I will be working for myself, in a way I feel like I won't be alone. You will be right there with me in spirit! Thank you again, not only for the information, but for the confidence to get out there and do it!"

Tara Reardon - Pittsburgh, PA


"Thank you for all of the great info and your upbeat attitude. You gave me more than just some great information, you gave me inspiration! Day one was very helpful, even with a background in interior design. You made it much easier to dissect a room and in many ways "connected the dots" for me with the education I previously had. Day two was invaluable though. The way you layout a step by step guide is so helpful. You really helped me to see that my goals in this career are obtainable. It is very easy to get overwhelmed by all of the things to do to get a business together, but you were able to detail how to bite off one piece at a time."

"I feel a great sense of support having you only a phone call away. No other programs I found in my research provide that to their students. I left your class knowing that you SINCERELY cared about the program, your students, and the work you are doing. Your motto for always providing more than you promise came through in your course. I would do it again in a heartbeat and will be excited to keep you abreast of my journey.
Thank you!"

Tara Rinaldi - Pittsburgh, PA


"Thank you for a truly wonderful learning experience. I've known for a while now that I wanted to parlay my interest - no, let's be honest - obsession - with home decorating and design into something more productive than TV watching and blog reading. Your class provided just the spark and push that I needed! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us."

Kate Cromie - Pittsburgh, PA


"I really enjoyed your professional staging class. I especially liked that the class was small and intimate. A good mix of people from different backgrounds made it even more enjoyable. Thank you for a great class."

Janet Crimone, Pittsburgh, PA


"Thank you for such a wonderful 2 days! For anyone wanting to start their own business, I truly believe that the things I have learned from your class have brought me to where I am...a business owner! This is an exciting time for me, and I am truly grateful for finding out about you. Your kindness didn't stop once the class was over either. Thank you for making yourself available to me for my many (ongoing!) questions. I really respect your opinion and value your many years of experience in this business."

Karen McDonough - Room Service by Karen & Co.



"Thank you for a wonderful day full of good information and tips. Your class was a great opportunity for me to refresh and update my knowledge on the trends and current overall outlook for staging and redesign. I look forward to using this information in my own projects. Thanks again."

R. Ionadi - Irwin, PA

  March 2009 Workshop Nanette with March 2009 workshop participants

J. Swedish - Wexford, PA


"We drove from Massachusetts to Pittsburgh just to take this workshop and it was well worth the trip. We had a great time and learned so much. We really appreciated your experience and enthusiasm and your willingness to answer all of our questions. The class was a very personalized experience. Thanks so much."

S. Toth and M. McDonald, Paler, MA


"I loved the redesign workshop. It was very well presented and I learned a lot. I was so excited when I got home that I re-read the manual and started moving furniture. Thanks for a great day."

J. Elliott, Pittsburgh, PA


"We wanted to tell you just how much we enjoyed the seminar. You presented the information in a way that the day just flew by for us. Many thanks."
