and and has been in operation and we want to say how thankful and grateful we are for the opportunity to bring you the life two point zero show if you're in your a mid way or close to the end of your profession  starting to ask questions about your life and what's next in your second act the life two point zero show is definitely a place for you audience yeah well it's twenty years and as you said we have the honor and we're debuting for our show a new set and we have some new programs that we're going to talk about so it's kind of they time yet in the life two point zero community so we're going to actually talk a little bit about your programs that you're bringing to her audience and for those who have watched our show they kind of know our love how we actually spaces so tell us a little bit about the power of space yes so this first of all the course it's an online horseman and the reason it came about is because  i've had so much material like sitting in powerpoint or on my computer not really impacting lives and helping people with their spaces except for when i was teaching a class right and with the new advent of nano classes online horses i thought you know i should be sharing this information because our space is so vital  so important to how we feel how we create write how we live how we you know just survive in a space and we don't think about it that way because we don't understand that it affects the right one piece without the other piece you know it's so it's all about a whole piece of your life your environment your career your memory your friends and so forth so we've done previous shows in the past on your physical environment touched a lot of  idea of your spaces and how it makes you feel and also you know and how when people come into your home what is then that feeling that you know people get when they walk right  i've had people say you know i've walked in someone's home and i just don't feel right yeah or when i walk in your home i feel welcome i feel automatic like i'm part of the family absolutely so we aren't necessarily always mindful a lot of times of create memories you write different chapters and you know life two point zero we talk about different phases about her life so we wanted to i wanted to make sure that people have a blueprint to how to create that and how to make it happen in a cohesive right a with a designer i hate because you and i have had many conversations about shows that are now on television teaching telling people how to do spaces the science spaces and one of the things that we've always said even when we work with our clients because they say oh well i watch their principles correct your design correct so you really don't get those principles understand those principles of interior design when you're watching a show because you don't know all of the elements or the phases that went into designing that space apps to get that total or that complete look so does your program help so right so that's that's a really key what use that and i don't the way that the program is designed it's really not focusing one hundred percent it's it's the the the elements and principles of design it's actually in the background ok of it it's really a step by step process because many times people do things out of order and they do not look at pieces as a whole ok they look at all i like this flower i like this chair and then when you try to put it together it's not it doesn't make sense and it's all about a blueprint on how you can get there right because with the advent of you know step way and it's in bite sized pieces ok so bite sized pieces meaning the classes are probably five to ten minutes long and there's lots of exercises because after you finish this class you're designing your own space  completely on line completely you do it at your own pace and got different modules anitta it's god guided exercises some guiding you through the process and what comes first and what comes next most people do shopping first right that doesn't come up where and then and then you know when we when we do projects i think the hard part is not the shot of a person well we don't but but sometimes our clients are seeing things in magazines or stores or whatever and i'm a homo i like this piece can i have this piece and the piece has really nothing to do with the concept because we always start out right but we stay true to the concept of the design of the vision of like this i like the thing is that design is like water right you have to be able to flow you have to go with the flow you have to know when to change and switch but like you said the the objective and the vision is still the same it's like building an airplane you're going to be building a plane but you don't want to put a yok the boat thing seats in the plane  because you like that so it really always about keeping that vision in mind ok and the other thing that that's really stressed in the classes is how does the space make you feel and what is it saying about my story would have to incorporate of course family things you know pieces that we've gotten from family that have passed on but it would also have to incorporate travel and the things we pick up when we travel because i'm very mindful when we travel to bring back a piece of them place that anger and yeah and it's more so you know it's interesting if someone comes to my house and what's that for you know where was that but it's my little memory yes it's my special like taking that moment when i pass by or whatever and say oh i got this when we were and write a little story yet the high that and those are called anchor there are little anchors in your journey in her life and one of the things that's really important i feel her anchors from your childhood  because now now let me back up a little bit the anchors need to be anchors that you associated something really good in your life because we can assume that everybody had a really fantastic filed right so certain anchors were would trigger different desires of emotion right so so let's let me give you one anchor for me you know i my my father was a minister right and in our house we always had two very special pictures if you want to call a painting or whatever one was the last supper right which as a child what that meant was we always welcomed people in our home we always gave them something to eat my mom was very very adamant about that and then the other one was a picture of jesus ok ok but i did a very some consciously i didn't really know it at a conscious level men as i learned more and more about these anchors i thought oh wow that's kind of why did it have it's always brought me back to center right right you can go back and just you know check and see which pieces you ok you need to review or need to look at again or something like that also and then also we have you know for we can all learn you know the whole point of this is a lot of people know what to do a lot of people have very good i mean it's just tweaking it's tweaking their couple of things that are really difficult and you know there's a reason why in her design as a profession right it's you have to go to school and have to learn less you have to learn the finer points of it and i'm a lot of times people can you know just put things together based on what so basically this class is just to give you a few pointers how to tweak what you already know ok i think for me when i walk into a space i think the thing that pops up the most if i walk into a space would be scale in proportion correct and i lot of people don't understand that and i'm kind of always in my mind saying well if this was like this big or whatever  proportion and then when i am doing that right because i feel my eyes kind of like darting all over the place yeah as opposed to taking in a complete beautiful space or when we go to design shows yeah it's like you walk in a you  entire room and then we start picking apart oh this this and that but initially it's that beauty of a writer that i don't i don't know a specialty like a symphony yeah yeah every piece works with the other piece and you create beautiful music  two hundred ninety nine dollars or twenty thousand dollars right there is such a rain yet you know like what are we building here so that's really important so i have a homeowner you would be ok with telling yourself what you that i show you how to actually break it out into so that you distribute the budget even if you don't know how to distribute ok most people have an idea about what things are often this is so easy to look up on the internet so so actually allocating the budget to every single state t v better than to go into that space because a lot of times we're not very realistic we say oh we have twenty thousand dollars to do a kitchen renovation right well that should be enough well when you mean you do column with with estimate in and then as you go through it's really important to actually track because you may say i'll spend ten dollars on a pillow but you may budget which is i'm not sure no doubt so the other part of that is doing a room assessment now the room assessment just goes through and say you know do i need to paint do i need to so like other things that you need to do now that you know what your budget is and what you want to put in there effects you did your floor plan right just in the initial floor plan you know what oh i need to fix this electrical or i need to fix that drywall or something like that so that's just what the room assessment is all about because you don't want to you want to start in the space that has good bone right and then step four is actually the term and in your unique style now one of the sayings that i have noticed in my life as i go through life my style has evolved and in different stages of your life different things matter right so i walk you through that whole  it's kind of making those two ideas come together correct and being conscious of it being really conscious of it you may have a chair that you know of this is so on comfort so basically in this piece is identifying what you like  planning doing some look books on some design boards you know and i'm sure how to do that's very easy there's lots of tools online or even just power point or something and then it's shopping now shopping is broken up into two parts shopping f main pieces like larger anchor items and then shopping for accessories back comes after ok it's two shopping trips for three or for whatever and then window treatments like how do you address your windows what are different types of things and then comes excess sarees ok so you might want to have shopping number one and then looking at you know accessories and wondering and then lighting and finishing touches or so and process and they teach you ok this is you know they have different pieces but you're still confused that the and sometimes you can figure it out in the sometimes you can but like you say the principles of design is harder in terms of figuring that out yourself ok so then within the class itself we really go into some more details as to you know let's take for example color color is a huge and that is actually going to be a completely separate course we just touch on this very lightly because there's so much to learn about color exact right there's color color palette understanding what makes up a color palette there of things anything that's a little bit complicated demystifying it so things that you know already i'm not going to go over all this style that's you know you know that already so so that's sort of a thing but but it's really creating a space for you that you're more conscious of creating but also the makes you feel so good it's it's your oasis it's your lace even if it's only a small space that we all live with families and sometimes we and we don't we don't have unlimited budgets or whatever but that place you have and i discussed it you kind of breaking down this whole idea of color and i know a lot of times a lot a great deal of a starting point is just to make sure you look at that color in different lights different times with that but i got to tell you i told you i think the story when i selected a color and when it was not i could not stay in that room was my bedroom of arises and i i is actually help you from making those writing right you know because color is a big one and there are lots of mistakes to be made without you realizing it right exactly so so it's really  just the classes are really just going to help you to not me and i didn't do yeah i didn't put the pieces that that paint on and look at because had i did it i would have real want to realize it wasn't the way i was the end of this little teeny tiny trying to because you know you know you've done color and that color affects you on the psychological level and you know color and healing spaces are different than color in you know creative  cancer patients or different or for dementia or sorry like that you know it's all based on science like it and it's not just exactly because even the spaces that you know you need to you know this is my space to work to concentrate yeah it to shed some light on that or yeah so move along you know they had the other piece of that that i want people to really be aware of is what's causing them anxiety ok what's frustrating to them about their house because it might be a simple i'm just making up your bed right now right exactly in my act just as simple as that and then once you make up your bed you'll be like oh but you know i need to straighten up the coffee table and it's really changing your habits but being aware of what makes you not feel good what are the items as not making you feel good what is it that's not serving you anymore what is it that doesn't put a smile on your face or anymore  to live with it right right and i think just being mindful of when you go places and you see things that you react to make note of it reacted to what i know for us my friend alicia we used to do classes we were doing classes in the city there was a story that we always go to the store prior to class to look at their bedding and it just each time they changed the season there was a different reaction that we had exercises like right that's one of the exercises yes you being really more mindful of what is creating chaos for you so and what is really it's more like self reflecting light right at first as opposed to so that is that's the clash in a nutshell we can you can learn more about the class next chapter by design special because it's going to be your debut online class so we'll have some specials going on for that so don't miss that in the you know whole cup on facebook so that eventually as you joined that that power recognizing princeton t v yeah absolutely so so that is you know make your space really work for you so and your family yeah and for the people that come into your house  within us we all have it within us to create a life that's purposeful and meaning who who we are now as well as to who we want to be in our second act so thank you sabrina for sharing this new program with us today yes thank you
