| How did The Home Decorating Club begin? | back to
the top |
| It began because Natalie’s background as an educator has been a critical key to her design success. For over 30 years her clients have benefited from the learning experience, as well as the end result, of their decorating projects. At the same time, many valuable source relationships were established ensuring successful design execution. Natalie’s mission, that of empowering her clients to a better life through good home design, became a passion which needed to be shared. Her gift for reaching out to people through her motivational and inspirational workshops, seminars, writings, radio show and personal contract, has attracted a large group of loyal followers. With the financial support of the very sources that continue to serve Natalie’s successful design firm, a marketing campaign was developed to allow her to bring her message to Long Islanders. She has appeared on TV, radio, and at countless Home Shows, Expos, and at Long Island sources. Her dedicated staff and many club member volunteers have sent out newsletters and other informational material. The Natalie Weinstein Decorating Club now gives something to over 15,000 homeowners on Long Island that has never been given before - a gift of shared knowledge and the experience of an expert, as well as access to designer sources. |

| How are the sources selected and why do they want to be part of The Home Decorating Club? | back to

| The sources that have demonstrated the quality of their products, services and expertise to Natalie on countless residential and commercial projects over the past 30 years are the sources that are recommended. Any additional sources accepted to the club directory have to meet the same criteria. As a growing club membership shops at these sources, we are growing Long Island businesses, as well; allowing for more and better discounts, perks and privileges. Natalie’s recommendation has meant success to many businesses over the years. They want to associate themselves with her and choose to support the club with advertising dollars. |
|
| How do members get personal professional advice? | back to
the top |
| The club offers a one-time consultation at a discounted fee of $295.00 plus sales tax, for Natalie or one of her associates to go on site for 1-2 hours and assist with members’ design needs from one room, a few rooms or the entire home. Furniture arrangements, window treatments, paint colors, wall coverings and floor coverings are a few of the aspects Natalie will address in her mission of making your dream home a reality. Members are encouraged to have magazine cutouts handy to assist in creating the look or style they desire. Homeowners may audio tape, video tape or take notes during her visit. At the consultation members are familiarized with sources in their directory that will enable them to go forward with their project. If further professional design assistance in requested through Natalie Weinstein Design Associates, the consultation fee is applied. |
|
| What happens at a personal in-home consultation? | back to
the top |
| The two hour visit by Natalie is filled with information, suggestions and activity. Most people take notes or audio or video tape the session. The purpose is the access your needs, come up with viable solutions, and discuss options and recommend sources to get the best result. The time can be spent walking through the whole house, part of the house, or focusing on just one space. Sometimes it's spent critiquing a set of plans for new construction or an extension, or designing a model kitchen layout. The goal, however, is always the same - to jump start your personal design project and give you hands on access to Natalie's expertise in color, space planning and furniture layout, accessories, window treatment design and especially helping you showcase what you already own to its best advantage. It's a fun learning experience that helps bring the designer look to your home. |
