Some answers to your
possible questions…
How long does the workshop last?
This is a full five-day class—which meets I.R.I.S. guidelines.
Class starts each morning at 8:30am and ends around 6:00pm
Monday – Thursday.
Fridays we try to end the class by 4:00pm.
How many students are in the class?
We limit the class size to 5 to ensure personal attention and
greater student participation.
Will I get hands-on experience?
Yes, we will be going to four homes to do hands on interior
redesigns and home stagings. There will be ongoing instruction
during the redesigns and stagings applied to the specific
details of the rooms we are doing.
How are Interior Redesign and Home Staging different?
Interior Redesign is all about the homeowner; furniture and
accessories are placed with consideration to their lifestyle and
personal preferences by an interior redesigner. Home staging is
all about the house; trying to make the strongest possible first
impression on the potential home buyer is the goal of a home
stager.
Do I need previous experience?
You do not need a degree or previous experience. What you need
is a passion for interior design and the desire to start your
own business. If you have been told time and again how well you
decorate then you “have it”. That is, the talent to become a
successful redesigner.
How much physical work is involved? Can I do this alone?
During class, you will be moving furniture with the help of the
other students as well as with furniture sliders. Once you get
out on your own, you are the one who moves the furniture.
However, if you have physical limitations, some interior
redesigners hire an assistant to help with the heavy work.
Will I be eligible to join I.R.I.S.?
Yes. When you complete this class, you will be eligible to join
the premier redesign association, benefiting from the
organization’s marketing, national recognition, networking and
referral services.
Do I need to work full time?
No, you can work as much or as little as you wish. You will be
your our own boss, and it will be your own company. It is
entirely up to you how much you will work. Some redesigners
continue in another job and redesign on the side; others have
made it their full time career.
How much money can I make?
The industry average is $75 for a one-hour consultation, and
$300 per room. It is up to you how many redesigns and
consultations you do a week.

How do I find
clients?
In class we will place heavy emphasis on how to market your
business successfully. We will also cover licensing, insurance,
and other business related topics.
What do I need to bring to the workshop?
In addition to a desire to learn and lots of energy, we suggest
you bring a camera and/or video camera. Your instruction manual
and all classroom supplies will be provided with the class.
How should I dress?
Comfortably! We will be in class during the morning, and then we
go directly to the job sites. Suggested attire: comfortable
layers-it can be cool in class and hot while moving furniture
during the redesigns. Khakis, capris, or comfortable knits are
fine. No jeans, please.
How do I get to Jacksonville?
Jacksonville is located in the northeast corner of Florida. It
is within 6 hours driving time from Atlanta,GA, Columbia,SC, and
Pensacola,FL.
Jacksonville International Airport is about 30 minutes from the
hotel. Transportation to and from the airport is included in the
cost of the class.
Where do I stay?
Transportation to and from the class each day will be provided
from the Holiday Inn Express at I-295 and Old St. Augustine Road
(exit 3). It is located just minutes from the classroom.
Restaurants and shopping are located within walking distance.
Please make reservations directly with the hotel as I have
negotiated a room rate of $85.95+ tax per night. Rooms are held
each class week under Redesign Training/Barbara Bain for the
students. Please make sure to let them know you are reserving
one of these reserved rooms.
