Before/After

Countless Decorating Genius System (DGS) users have brought their dream room designs to life, and your room could be next! Check out these incredible before and after photos our Design Lovers took with their smart phones!

  • Prior to DGS, I purchased other well-known systems. While they were very detailed and offered an array of information on style, color, and design, I personally have not found either one of them to be as practical or tailored to someone without a design background like myself as DGS. With DGS, the information is very straightforward and shows you how to work with what you have. The program has a rhythm to it which just makes sense. The step by step process allows you to build upon what you’ve learned and move forward. Then you add in the private Facebook page…it’s a win / win situation!

  • It’s amazing how a room can seem well designed yet still not feel right. I am so thankful to learn from the Decorating Genius System that it’s okay to make it my own, following my personal fingerprint to get the feeling that I love and crave. Just a few simple changes to my room gave me the soft, relaxed feeling I need.

  • Before DGS I spent A LOT of time looking at Pinterest and Houzz for inspiration but did not execute my plan out of fear. Utilizing Donna’s strategies, I finally had the confidence to move ahead.

  • I love what I learned from DGS. This is the bathroom in the home we bought a year ago. I am very proud of the way it turned out. It is one of my favorite rooms we have done so far. Now on to the rest of the house!

  • DGS gave me the confidence I needed to do my whole house remodel. I think the best part for me was the design fingerprint. I found out that what I thought I liked was completely opposite of what I actually really wanted my house to look like.

  • Buying DGS was one of the best purchases I made during my remodel. I really benefited from making accurate floor plans with graph paper. It allowed me to know what I wanted and the correct size before I ordered anything. I never would have thought to do that unless I learned it from DGS. I also love being a part of the Facebook private group where you can ask a question and get honest feedback.

  • I bought this home last year and did a complete remodel. DGS has empowered me to have the confidence needed to finish designing my house. Breaking down each topic in separate, easy to understand videos helped me immensely.

  • Before DGS I used magazines and Pinterest. DGS taught me taught me about my particular design style. This very old bathroom is off of my sewing room. I decided to make it cheery to define my style and creativity.

  • Before DGS I looked at friend’s homes for inspiration. Using DGS has given me more confidence.

  • I am still shocked when people tell me they like my design. I had no (none, zip, zero) design knowledge. I was so lost and so thankful that Donna and TIDA came across my Facebook feed. Purchasing DGS was a step by step setup for success. I now know what I was missing – MY design fingerprint. I am forever grateful for Donna’s expertise, generosity, and coaching. I finally have a peaceful office to work and create. So grateful to DGS – genius!

  • Buying DGS was one of the best purchases I made in my remodel. It prevented me from wasting money on things that I did not really need nor want. I also love the supportive community.

  • I have always been a very indecisive person, especially in design and, after many attempts over the last 35 years, I was never happy with the end result. Then, I stumbled upon the Design CPR course. Donna has given me the knowledge to figure out what style I like, taught me to form a design strategy while staying within my budget and gave me the confidence to execute the plan. I am finally happy with end result.  I have received so many compliments from family and friends and now they are asking for my advice!  Thanks, Donna!  You are a great teacher and mentor.

  • Before DGS, I used magazines and Pinterest. DGS has encouraged me to think a little outside the box and make a plan. This is an apartment over my garage that I redid. My inspiration piece was the rooster painting.

  • The Decorating Genius System works.  I love home decorating, but my spaces were always missing something.  I thought I just didn’t have the talent for home decorating. I kept trying, spending money, moving furniture, it never clicked. Then I found DGS. I watched the videos, participated in the Facebook group, and it finally clicked. By following DGS I can have a home I love and am proud of. The two things that made the biggest difference in how I approach a project are #1 finding and understanding my design fingerprint and #2 finding that inspirational fabric or artwork to get my project jumpstarted. I am very happy I found DGS.  I will probably be signing up for CPR next as I venture into my next project.
