I think. <br /><br />While there are some professions that one would certainly look for credentials, decorating isnt one of them. <br /><br />There are several degreed designers I dont care much for as well as there are self-taught designers I dont care much for. The main objective is being confident in what you do and the world will feel that. <br /><br />I never thought I would be making over people's living room on national tv. I didnt study for it, neither did I get a degree in it, but because I had the "eye" on of your favorites, Nate Berkus saw that and has given me a piece of his platform.<br /><br />Now if I was degreed would it have happened. I dunno. <br /><br />But Tam, you do it. Go for it.

Sometimes you just have a knack or an eye for certain things. I think that is especially true for artists who are creative and that doesn't always need to be nurtured in a classroom, sometimes it actually hurts them.Sing of Singature Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018563090154607266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105545369336653278.post-30243765813684253412011-09-19T10:26:24.094-05:002011-09-19T10:26:24.094-05:00YES in Texas to call yourself an interior designer...YES in Texas to call yourself an interior designer you must have a license. It's more to just decorating/designing if you're working in someones home there is a possible chance of an accident. You should be insured and bonded, among other things. We'd like to think about making something pretty but it's more too it than that.<br /><br />Now, a decorator is all together something different. Laws have changed and vary from state to state and some people have been "grandfathered" in it they have been in business for a certain length of time. <br /><br />Even if anyone is a naturally talented in "decorating/designing it's always good to have your credentials and all other paperwork to back you up, unless your work is so awesome no one really caresMavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435650329977430710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105545369336653278.post-79753749495335083462011-09-19T10:21:21.683-05:002011-09-19T10:21:21.683-05:00I needed to ride this for my own personal journey ...I needed to ride this for my own personal journey and feeling like being not formally trained is an issue.

It is truly a gift from GOD. I read your post about others in the business not encouraging and helping. When GOD is with you that's all you need. Look girl with you being on Nate's show GOD is already working on your behalf. The designers you featured shows that success is possible with out the degree.

Nothing wrong with going to school to enhance it but I don't think it's required. God will open doors for us and your talent in design brought you to the Nate Berkus Show. I personally love all the designers but my favs are the design blogs beacause they feature realistic home designs on a real budget and show you how creative you can be to create a home that reflects you:)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718613851261323844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105545369336653278.post-16280932337480487872011-09-19T08:51:43.568-05:002011-09-19T08:51:43.568-05:00I think as long as you're passionate about som...I think as long as you're passionate about something - there's a way to make it happen.

Not so much.<br /><br />I believe in my heart, that's a way of keeping "certain" folks out of the game, by requiring formal training on everything nowadays.<br /><br />You definitely without a doubt are 'GETTIN' IT...you know what I'm sayin'...you have an undeniable, god-given talent, and an eye for interior design from what I see on your blog.
