    Rena Bullard

    As I was about to graduate college with a degree in Hospitality Management, I realized that interior decorating was my passion. How did that happen? As a realtor I began staging homes and fell head over heels in love with design. In 2009 I became certified as an Interior Decorator. Hue knew?While actively decorating and staging homes, I began a blog talk pod show on Blog Talk Radio that offers decorating tips so that as many people as possible can benefit from my expertise. I have to admit that teaching in the classroom is one of my favorite ways to share interior design with others. Helping people enjoy their space is why I wrote the Amazon Best Selling book D.I.Y. Color Confidence, a book that will absolutely help you understand color.

      How To Use The Colour Wheel
