DARE TO ZHUSH: Being Brave in a World of Greige

design x RI's tenth anniversary banner image

This workshop is all about learning to craft your personal interiors. We know that sometimes our vision or hopes for a space don’t always match up with execution, and sometimes that’s because we get frozen in fear of making the wrong decision. Through this interactive workshop, the JohnnyCakes design team will help expel those fears by giving an overview of key design concepts to keep in mind when creating a space. Hosted in our shop located in a beautifully restored Victorian, the JohnnyCakes team will then lead the group through the process of styling a space together. In the end, we hope everyone gains some tips and tricks to be brave and add some zhush of your own!
