“
I think that mostly everybody wants to feel some control over their house themselves. What I really want is for you to feel the freedom of doing it yourself and the freedom to go out and discover your own taste, rather than to just teach you how to copy mine.

Finding your style part I
Rita helps you develop confidence by revealing how pieces of your history and childhood inform you, giving you foundations upon which to build your taste.
The buying guide part 1: the auction house
Rita takes you to Tennant's Auction House in Yorkshire and shows you how to spot the pieces that are right for your home.
Finding your style part II
Rita continues to draw out your personal style and taste.
The design process
Rita breaks down the process she uses, step-by-step, starting by asking a crucial question: how do you want to live?
Working with budgets
Through structuring her ‘budget and purse’ approach, Rita explains how you can squeeze the most out of your budget, as well as how a restricted budget can actually make for a more comfortable room. A template for Rita's room-by-room method is also linked in this section of the workbook.

I LOVE IT
“I have been loving the gardening courses so much…I couldn’t decide which one to get…so bought a subscription for the year. I love how each one has a different design (in terms of type and color) - so they truly feel like different experiences. So happy I signed up!”
JESSICA, US
It really is great value
“So much insight into a wonderful range of creative, interiors and gardening options. It is really great value. I've most enjoyed learning about paint with Edward Bulmer - and the practical aspects and insights in Rita's courses have also been so useful. ”
