I pleaded, I begged, I even made that face (you know the one) to get her not to include trademarked information, but Karen was insistent on sharing the inner secrets to decorating gleaned over her thirty years of education, experience, and sometimes excruciating business lessons. The StylePrint Design System is the one book that takes the decorating and design training you previously couldn’t obtain without a significant investment of time and money and marries it with practical business formulas that deliver a business you can not only love but one that delivers bottom line results.

Finally! A personal blueprint everyone can easily use to create the best in their home. Long overdue! Well done, Karen.
I thought The Styleprint Design System was very practical and concrete. It is not meant to be a quick fix solution book. It requires serious thought and consideration of the situation and the process. The reader has to really think about what he/she has and what he/she wants and how to accomplish it. It can be time consuming. One of the features I liked best in the book were the personal examples; they make it easier to understand.
The Anatomy of a decor project and the Styleprint Design System created by Karen Powell is thought provoking while instilling confidence that we can all be active and successful participants in designing the work or home environment we would love.”
Karen Powell unselfishly lays out not only the trade secrets to redecorating and redefining your living space, she gives you the worksheets to do it! This is a must-read for anyone that wants to sharpen and quicken their learning curve when it comes to redecorating at any level of complexity!
Magical! Creative use of space, lovely choices of room colors and furniture options. Flows! Love our home!”
