LOCAL DESIGNER SHARES INTERNATIONALLY

Bakersfield, CA, May 15, 2003 – Local business woman and interiors expert, Debra Blackmon was a featured member presenter at the 2003 Interior Redesign Industry Specialists International Convention this month in Scottsdale, AZ where she introduced her colleagues to the ancient art of placement, feng shui.

Blackmon and her IRIS associates are widely known for their incredible 1-room, 1-day interior makeovers seen on HGTV’s hit show, Decorating Cents.  “The interior redesign segment of Decorating Cents is a great way for consumers to see what can be done to a space using only what a homeowner already owns,” stated Blackmon. 

Blackmon has combined her esoteric feng shui knowledge with her interior redesign service to create a niche market for herself in the San Joaquin valley.  She’s also expanded her business by becoming one of the few qualified trainers of the redesign concepts internationally.

Interior redesign - furniture, art and accessory placement - is the hottest decorating trend in decades.  “My business flourishes because in time of economic instability, redesign appeals to homeowners who want a beautiful space for less money.  And what I do appeals to potential entrepreneurs who want their own home-based business, especially women.”

Blackmon also teaches classes via telephone conferencing and will be the featured host for an on-line feng shui chat this summer for the Interior Redesign Directory.  For more information on interior redesign or the services and training offered by Blackmon locally in Bakersfield, connect with her through her website www.debrablackmon.com or at 661-397-8480.
