I have had some exciting opportunities in the works and I am sharing one of them now that the artwork is done, and selected, but only giving you a sneak peek. Tamara Day of HGTV’s Bargain Mansions and Growing Days selected my work for her designs. I selected a limited palette and kept the majority of the painting in monochromatic blues and I am elated to say she loved the pieces especially because she will be working in a blue palette for her designs. I didn’t know that but, I am so glad that I followed my intuition and went with these colors. I cannot wait to show you the full pieces. I absolutely love them, Tamara is excited to use them and I hope the homeowners connect with the art too. You’ll notice she uses wonderful art in her designs. Keep watch and I will be posting more details in the future. YAY!! My art is going to be on Bargain Mansions in Tamara Day’s design!

Designer Tamara Day is a purveyor of the glam and cozy. This busy wife and mother of four styles for the spirited home, mixing glam, comfort, and family. Tamara’s sense of style and eye for what works has created an insatiable demand for her interior design expertise, furniture and décor.

Tamara grew up on the Midwestern plains in Salina, Kansas. Her “do-it-yourself” skill set comes from growing up on a farm. Growing up, she learned all of her hands-on skills from her dad, Ward Schraeder. After getting married, Tamara and her husband took on old, dilapidated homes that no one wanted and turned them into beautiful spaces.

One home in particular made Tamara the sought after designer she is today. While rescuing a home from foreclosure and neglect, the economy tanked, forcing Tamara to do a lot of the work herself. To stay on budget, she went to estate sales and redesigned furniture to fit her vision for the house. Out of this experience, a new brand was born— Growing Days, Tamara’s interior design, furniture, décor and lifestyle business.

On HGTV & DIY Network’s Bargain Mansions, Tamara and her crew transform big, old houses that she finds at bargain prices. While respecting the integrity and history of the homes, she integrates modern design, function and style to the space – perfect for today’s families.

Fans of Tamara’s signature style and the DIY show can buy her specially curated finds for their own homes.
