Testimonials / Reviews

“Just to let you know I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. Even though I missed one of the live classes, I learned so much listening to the recorded version.  I like the timely manner in which you presented the information and even though I was not in a room with you, it felt like I was.  You made sure everyone understood what you were saying.  I am really excited to build on the knowledge you have given me.  I look forward to meeting you sometime and also to having more sessions with you. It was a pleasure getting to know you.  Have a great evening.
” ~ Pamela Mavour-Allen

“Wow, what an amazing course you provided. Who knew there was so much to learn in this area of design? Thank you for your time and insights. I am forever grateful for the amount of detail, tips, and marketing savvy that you provided. I feel very confident that I can now eliminate all phobias with my soon to be clients. Thank you again.
” ~ Laurie Slater

“Well I have to tell you this has been one of the most wonderful educational endeavors I have ever undertaken.   Again, this was really fabulous Jan and the time just flew.  But it was such “value added” I didn’t notice! Thanks so much.  I’m sort of looking forward to the exam…” ~ Just fabulous!
Jill Ackerman

“I have to tell you how much I enjoyed this course. I was a bit hesitant to spend the money for a six hour course, but it is the best money I’ve spent in a long time. I love to decorate but I’ve always had a hard time with color. It all makes more sense to me now. The trouble now, is that I realize most of my rooms are a mixture of cool and warm. I’ve already been working on fixing the color scheme in the living room, and I love the changes I’ve made.” ~ Barb Raven, CCSP, CCC

“Wohooo, thank you Jan. I had to laugh the last two days when walking into two different homes and it was obvious that cold and warm was mixed in the same space. It was crystal clear why and no more question mark why it just does not feel great. Thank you for shedding light on colour and the science behind it. I really enjoyed your class and I am going to use it every day, even in my own home to make the right colour decisions and look fab doing it.”
“After two colour consultations in the past week with the Colour box and your class under my belt, I have to say choosing colours with clients has never been such a joy! The clients are happy, I feel confident about the colours and the box and delivery of the samples is amazing! Thank you for pointing me in this direction and giving me the tools to work with. It makes my job an easy one to do! and I feel now wonderful about promoting that (newish) part of my business.” ~ Thanks, Yvonne

“Thanks for the quick reply and for giving feedback on my questions. It was very interesting to learn the science behind colour. I’m a quilter and am picky with my fabric combinations…but now have understanding as to why certain colour combinations and tones work or don’t work together.” ~ Thanks again,
Tess Daglish

“I have always had a love of color, but didn’t know how to use it effectively.   I have often been overwhelmed when going to the paint store not knowing where to start and disappointed when the colors I chose didn’t work and I didn’t know why! I was soooo excited to learn there is a science to color that tells you which colors work together and why!  What a relief!  You did a great job of explaining how to use color in a selling application and in dwelling using both science and inspiration pieces.  The webinar was very “hands on,” we looked at a ton of examples to see what different color schemes looked like and how to use the fan deck to create this look.  I really liked how you walked us through the business side of color consulting and how you do Color Consultations with your clients.  This course has given me so much confidence and is such a great addition to my staging business!  I highly recommend this course to anyone in staging, redesign or someone who simply loves color!” ~ Thanks, Carlie Bloomer

Lynelle Hartman Bio:

Lynelle’s career in the world of “home” began in the 90’s working in real estate and corporate relocation.  During that time frame she was making selections, choosing paint colors and readying corporate owned property for re-sale.  She started home staging c in 2001, working with real estate professionals, builders, investors, developers, and homeowners.  Lynelle and her partner specialized in staging vacant property and together staged a broad spectrum of properties ranging from studio condos to high end properties featured on many Luxury Home Tours.

 

Lynelle has also work collaboratively with many builders and individual clients to make all design decisions: exterior roofing, windows and siding, stone work, interior cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, finishes, paint selections and on to the final step – preparing for resale or creating a space to call home.  Through the years she has been an educator, Instructor  and convention speaker for the CSP International Staging Business Training Academy through various programs, webinar and events.

With students, Lynelle appreciates the “light bulb moment,” that instant when they suddenly begin to put the pieces of their training together and the understanding of how it works – not only for themselves, but for the benefit of their clients.  Her love of learning and hands on work gives her a wide range of experiences to share with students.   She now teaches the Color program for the CSP International Staging Academy. She said “It is a pleasure to be part of this process and each time I teach I learn something new from the students!  It is a privilege to work with and be a part of the CSP team.”
