While most of us are living with, and loving, the modern conveniences of a new house, many of us still long for the look and feel of an historic home. If you're contemplating a renovation or re-decoration, drifting mid-stream in your project without a paddle, or merely wondering where to begin, this hands-on, mini workshop by Maggie Cohen, award-winning interior designer, artist, educator and lecturer, will reveal the secrets to adding old-world charm in new-world homes. Using worksheets and visuals, Maggie will help participants discover the personal style, spirit and soul that will lead them to the new-old home they've always dreamed of.
