A message from
JoAnne Lenart-Weary,
Founder of The Decorating and Staging Academy
 
The Decorating and Staging Academy curriculum is a result of over 30 years of creating beautiful homes. As the demand for our training programs grew, I hand-selected people around the country who fit the style of a Decorating and Staging Academy trainer. Talented, warm, well-rounded, creative, and patient are just a few of the qualities of a great teacher, and Angie Trawick possesses every one of them and beyond. I am thrilled to have Angie represent The Decorating and Staging Academy in the state of Texas.

If you are ready to follow your dreams and create a decorating business, call Angie today.
