Mills Uses Her Experience Staging Sets for TV to Share Practical Ideas for Transforming Lifeless Rooms into Inviting Interiors

Kansas City, MO – April 21, 2006

Why buy expensive new furniture, décor and accessories when you can use what you already have to create beautiful interiors that flow with the architecture of your living space? The answer is you don’t have to. Mills specializes in redesigning or remixing existing furnishings including staging homes for quick resale. Design presentation attendees will learn the basics of successful redesign or remixing of existing furnishings in the home.

Interior Redesign is a compelling alternative to traditional Interior Design, which gives you a whole new look that can cost less than buying one new sofa, dining table or armoire. By creatively rearranging furniture, artwork and other assets you already own, you can literally transform your interior in a matter of hours.

Mills is an acclaimed designer who's been selected as the designer keynote speaker for the 2006 Symphony Designer’s Showhouse and hosts the leading radio design show in Kansas City. She will make her presentation and field questions from the audience on May 6 from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm at 6315 Ward Parkway in Kansas City, Missouri, the home of the late Richard Bloch, co-founder of H&R Block and his wife Annette. Pre-sale tickets are $12.00 and $15.00 at the door. For more information call (816) 968-9711 or visit showhouse.org/specialevents06.html

“Our listeners appreciate Karen’s down to earth style which makes the world of design accessible to homeowners because she talks to them in layman’s terms,” said Living Large Executive Producer Andrew Ellenberg who recruited Mills for the show on News Radio 980 KMBZ, one of the nation’s top news talk stations. “As more consumers embrace the concept of staging their home for resale to attract prospective buyers and shorten the sales cycle, Mills is strategically positioned to be one of the leading voices of this major design trend.”

Mills also teaches staging for resale classes to real estate professionals, hosts videocasts and instructional DVDs and writes a popular column called Designer's Eye. Currently, Mills divides her time between hosting her Living Large shows and designing residential or commercial interiors for clients.

Living Large is a design and lifestyle show dedicated to celebrating the good life that airs on News Radio 980 KMBZ Sundays at 1pm and on Classical 1660 KXTR Saturdays at 10:30am.
