Our local community college has great credit and non credit interior design/decorating courses. I know I was thinking of taking some myself, maybe you can look into one?

hey just hang out here and read the mags, watch others dilemmas, save stuff to your ideabooks. you would be amazed how much you learnin a little time.

i was not sure how interested i was til i started 3 years ago. now i love it! it was a total lesson, i even appreciate styles i thought sucked. when you look at enough pics of different homes in styles you really begin to understand them. you are welcome to look at my idea books to get a beginning. mine are cool, because i shop cheap.

You should ask in the Home Forums, where there is a decorating forum. This is a gardening forum.

I would look for books that explain how to approach decoration. If you made a post about that, you would surely get many good suggestions.

I like Alexa Hampton's, The Language of Interior Design. Her style is traditional and not quite my taste- but she shows you how to take apart a room and think about all the elements. Style is a separate issue for me.

rhizo, they have eliminated that now, everything is showing up in multiple places.
