Sandy Dixon has an eye for what works and what doesn't work in a room. But this Evergreen businesswoman isn't fooled into thinking that spending money on design services is top-of-mind for most people in this tough economy. View the recent Denver Post story about Sandy's philosophy:

Debt-free redecorating - By Elana Ashanti Jefferson
The Denver Post

Sandy's fascination with the "use what you already have" design philosophy began years ago as a corporate executive traveling extensively for business.

Before unpacking her suitcase, she would instinctively rearrange the furnishings of her hotel room, as well as personalize the space by adding potpourri, candles and framed, family photos that she had brought from home. This was sure to have given the hotel cleaning staff something to talk about!

She also applied this hands-on approach when she was confronted with messy waiting rooms in her company's branch offices across the U.S. She unfailingly would tidy up the piles of magazines, arrange the furniture in a more balanced and appealing layout and even re-hang the artwork to accentuate the new setting! She wanted the décor to not only exude a feeling of comfort for clients, but a clear sense of professionalism as well.

As a real estate agent in southern California in the 80's, Sandy would 'set the stage' for every open house she held... bringing in flowers, scents, food and always making certain the lighting, furnishings, accessories, greenery and artwork were perfectly balanced and authentic for the space.

Years later when researching entrepreneurial opportunities, she was drawn to both professional organizing and interior design. Recounting her successful real estate experience years before, she saw the dynamic possibilities of combining all three areas of her expertise and Interior Arrangements, Inc., a real estate staging, consulting, training and speaking company opened its doors in 2002.

Sandy's 16 years of corporate sales, marketing and training experience has equipped her exceptionally well to teach both home and business owners the powerful benefits of using "real estate staging and interior redesign" techniques.

Her clients include Realtors, Professional Organizers, Property Managers, Interior Designers and business owners who are looking for additional revenue streams and added services for their clients... as well as those who are just passionate about decorating! Today, Sandy offers workshops that teach people the simple steps to interior arranging that work for every room, regardless of the amount or style of furnishings they have.

Sandy Dixon is a member and sanctioned instructor for the Interior Redesign Industry Specialists (IRIS), an international organization of redesigners. She offers a 1, 3 and 5 day training format. Her 5 day course “Interior Redesign & Real Estate Staging For Professionals” qualifies individuals for IRIS membership. She also belongs to the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), which has 3,200 members nationwide and is a professional member of the National Speakers Association (NSA).
