Donna Babylon Decorating Weekend
January 23-25, 2004

Donna Babylon (standing) and seminar attendees

We had a fabulous, informative and entertaining weekend with nationally known home decorating expert, certified window treatment consultant and author of twelve home decorating books, Donna Babylon. Over three days, Donna addressed an audience of about 150 people, and answered a variety of questions on beautifying the home. Her interior decorating approach emphasized creativity and imagination.

During the three-day seminar, Donna covered the basics of decorating and working with color; took us step-by-step through two rooms that she decorated for less than $500; shared beautiful window treatment solutions and sewing tips for every window in the home; demonstrated popular painting techniques; and finally, Donna worked one-on-one with the Sunday group as they decorated a room from their homes. Her expertise and easy-going manner helped all to become better-educated, skillful do-it-yourself decorators.

Seminar guests mingled with one another, with store staff, and with Donna Babylon during breaks and over lunch. Our beautiful new store building and fantastic selection of home decorating fabrics surprised and excited first-time visitors.

Donna's book "More Splash Than Cash Decorating Ideas" was included with Friday evening's seminar. Saturday included a delicious catered lunch from Goombah's in Royal Oak, and "More Splash Than Cash Window Treatments" by Donna Babylon. On Sunday, workshop students received the "Home Furniture Planner" kit, a tremendous aid when arranging your home's furnishings. See the details and order your own by clicking here.

Ahhh. A well-deserved rest after a full weekend of intensive instruction.
