History of ReDesign
In our 5-Day course, you will uncover the history of redesign and how design styles and furniture have transcended throughout time, beginning with styles from the Middle Ages, into the 21st Century.
14 Interior Design Styles

Imagine your client showing you a picture from a magazine and you being able to create that look and make their dream a reality!
Farmhouse Styles
Traditional Farmhouse embodies a real farmhouse with its rustic charm. This style is infamous for its white shiplap walls, farmhouse sinks, and comfortable furniture.
Modern Farmhouse is a blend of the traditional Farmhouse style with a contemporary twist. This variation is achieved through a neutral palette, with bright whites and cozy elements.
French Farmhouse incapsulates the traditional farmhouse style but adds a French flare. This design style is influenced by the elegant French culture, but is still casual with its American roots. You'll notice a great deal of stone and distressed pieces.

For a low maintenance option, try using artificial greenery such as a snake or fiddle leaf plant, as this is safe for pets and children, and is allergy friendly.

UDRC™ Success Stories
Loredana Capilleri, USC™, UCPO™, UDRC™
Loredana Capilleri Design
I would like to share my experience with you in hopes that I will help someone!
I’m Italian and 7 years ago, I moved to Boston with my 2 little girls and husband. It was a big and challenging change and not always easy.
I decided to not go back to work as a pharmacist and raised my girls and helped my family in this new adventure.
Why do I tell you that? Because one year ago, I decided to follow my passion.
Thanks to Ultimate Academy®, the Taylor family, Darcy Speed and all the people that I met during my classes, my confidence was boosted and today I’m proud of myself for what I accomplished!
I achieved my certifications as a UCPO™ Certified Ultimate Professional Organizer™, USC™ Certified UltimateStager™ and UDRC™ Ultimate Decorator & ReDesigner™ at Ultimate Academy®, and founded my new business, Loredana Capilleri Design.
My customers are really happy about my work, my Italian accent, my happiness and my resilient way to see life!
I’m looking forward to taking the new courses that Ultimate Academy® will offer in the future because they never stop to take care of their students and I never stop to learn from their experiences.
I have a website Loredana Capilleri Design and I set up my Google business!
Michelle West, USC™, UDRC™
Visions Virtual Tours & Staging
My name is Michelle, and I am a USC™ Certified UltimateStager®, as well as an UDRC™ Ultimate Decorator & ReDesigner™. I graduated from the Ultimate Academy® in the Fall of 2021. After 31 years of being a small business owner and hair stylist, I found myself looking for ways to stay busy with less hours standing behind the chair.
I turned to my sister for support and advice. As a realtor, she helped me downsize into a lovely low maintenance townhouse and sell my home. The process of getting my home ready for market and searching for a new home is where my interests in staging grew. As we went from one home listing to another, my sister listened to all my comments. I noticed the décor and furniture placement more than the structure itself. We were chatting about my current career and making a change when she reminded me of all the times, she had to pull my eye away from the décor and suggested I become a home stager. She even did some research and found Ultimate Academy® for me… GAME CHANGER!
I enrolled in 3 classes at Ultimate Academy®: Home Staging, Decorating & ReDesign and Confidence for Success. The courses gave me just that… Confidence to take a leap!! The staging was of most interest to me; however, the decorating and redesign tied in nicely. Upon completion, I was overwhelmed but ready to dive in. Greg’s advice to spend half an hour a day on my business checklist was the BEST advice as I chipped away and got organized.
I asked a lot of questions and then MORE… Eileen, Greg and Darcy were so supportive and eager to answer. In fact, to this day, Jill gets back to me instantly if I have a question regarding my business. I envision that their family sits around their beautiful, elaborate dining room tables waiting to take care of their students answering text messages as they come in, discussing, and helping students 24/7 LOL! They are THAT supportive.
My sister, and I built a business plan which blended our talents! Her skills as a realtor/photographer and my staging skills merged into the perfect partnership. We have spent the last 9 months creating and developing our business following the outline I was taught at the Academy. We have been constantly learning and growing from each new contract and the challenges they bring.
“Visions Virtual Tours and Staging” was launched in February 2022!
“Let us recreate your space and capture it!” is our tagline… we are a one-stop shop! As a team we stage and shoot all in one day. I am loving using my creativity and organizational skills to their fullest potential. With change comes uncharted territory and with the decision to invest in my un-tapped talents I found direction and strength to move forward with VISION!
