You've Tried to Design Your Space.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
But Nothing Sticks.
You've saved a thousand Pinterest images. You've bought things and returned them. You keep staring at that one empty room, hopelessly paralyzed. Here's why that keeps happening:
You don't know where to start, so you start nowhere
You buy things you love separately, but they don't come together
You need real solutions to real problems, not just pretty paint and decor items
You're afraid of making an expensive mistake you can't undo
You keep waiting for the "right time," the "right budget," the "right inspiration"
Design advice is either too vague or too expensive to act on
You've tried to copy a look you loved and it just... didn't translate
The problem isn't you. It's that no one ever gave you a process.
WHEN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PROCESS, EVERYTHING CHANGES
Imagine Walking Into Your Home and Exhaling
This workbook gives you clarity, confidence, and a roadmap to redesign any space at any budget.
FIND TOTAL CLARITY
Know exactly what your space needs — and what to do first, second and so on.
LEVERAGE ANY BUDGET
Learn when to spend, when to save and how to make what you own work harder.
BRING YOUR STYLE TO LIFE
Stop copying other people's homes. Design something that's unmistakably you.
FEEL MOMENTUM
Get you out of planning mode and make real progress with prompts + exercises.
GET UNSTUCK
Experiment, recover from mistakes and evolve your space over time.
DESIGN A HOME THAT REFLECTS YOU
Not just a room that looks good in photos — a space that supports your actual life.
Hi, I'm Maddie — and I made this workbook for you.
After 12+ years in marketing (including co-founding an Inc 5000 agency) and a pivot into residential design and renovations, I've worked with homeowners who have great taste but zero process.
At Keeper Design Studio, I help modern homeowners design spaces that are layered, memorable, and built for the way they actually live — not just the way they think they're supposed to.
This workbook is the exact method I use with every single client, distilled into a handful of prompts and exercises you can use today to defeat overwhelm and design a home you're proud to keep.

Everything Inside the Home Starts Here Workbook
WHAT YOU GET
A comprehensive, step-by-step workbook with over 40 pages of instruction, examples, prompts and exercises, built to take you from overwhelmed to confident — one room at a time.
Before touching a single piece of furniture, you'll get crystal clear on how your space is actually working — and what your home needs to support your real life. This is the step most people skip. It's also the reason their redesigns don't stick.
Identify what's working and what's not with reflection prompts
Connect your daily routines to design decisions with guided exercises
Define the function AND feeling you want from each space
1
Soul-Searching + Discovery Prompts
THE KEEPER DESIGN METHOD
These are the essential elements that make a room work. You'll learn exactly how each one affects your space — and how to use them deliberately, without a fancy degree or a designer's budget.
Layout: Learn how to assess your layout and address flow or functional issues, measure your space and create a simple floorplan
Color + Light: Build a palette from what you already own, plus discover a $5 trick that transforms a room
Layering: Discover how to mix materials so that rooms feel collected, warm and lived in

FOUNDATIONS OF DESIGN
DESIGN SUPPORTS
Art, Home Goods + Furniture
Design is more than purchasing and styling the right objects. It starts with you—your life your, your real and evolving needs. But once we've established the bones of how your home needs to support you, we can layer on the pieces that help complete that puzzle.
Source, repurpose, and curate art and home goods that tell your unique story
Discover the Spend, Save, Repurpose, or Resell framework for every budget level
Find where to source secondhand and reclaimed gems
Learn the cost-per-day test for big purchases

You'll learn how to build a mood board that actually guides decisions, use free tools to map your floor plan, and try some simple visualization hacks before you start purchasing and installing.
Take your overall inspiration and make it concrete with step-by-step mood board design
Discover the easy smart phone trick that saves you from purchasing the wrong size furniture
Gain a method for how to edit a room before you spend a dime
4
Turning Your Dreams into Reality
EXPRESSING DESIGN
This is the part most design guides skip entirely. We teach you to give yourself permission to live in — and love — a home that's still becoming. Because the best homes are never "done."
Identify the smallest action you can take in just 48 hours to get out of paralysis
Discover what to do when you're mid-project and doubting everything
Learn to embrace change without feeling unsettled
5
Trusting Your Vision + Embracing Evolution
MOVING FORWARD
Living in a place you love is more than possible. No massive budget. No design degree needed. Scout's honor.

Absolutely. A significant portion of the toolkit is specifically designed for renters and people who can't make permanent changes. Removable materials, furniture arrangement, texture, and styling all work beautifully without demo or permanent fixtures.

Some people work through the whole thing in a focused weekend. Others take it section by section over a few weeks while actively working on a space. There's no deadline and no rush — you'll have it forever.

That depends. If you've already got confidence, clarity and a plan you're working through for your space, you probably don't need a starter kit. But if you've gotten tips and style hacks, but no real method for how to create a vision and bring it to life, then Home Starts Here is made for you. This kit will help you craft a vision and act on your plan with confidence, no matter what size your project or budget is.
