Hi Everyone,
Oh my! I did it!
I finished editing the Laurel Home Essential Paint Color Collection with 12 NEW COLORS!

Okay, here’s the deal.
Every year since 2016, I’ve had a spring or summer flash sale.
This year, I have not had one yet.
So, here it is! (I love my little GIF I made a few years ago.)
Everything is 20% off, in addition to the already reduced price when you purchase a bundle.
You mean this isn’t free?
Um. no.
These guides, each one, were the result of hundreds of hours of blood, sweat, and yes, many tears. They are not being given away except in very rare instances. If you want free content, there are well over 1,000 blog posts available on this website.
Laurel, what guides are you talking about?
Okay, fair enough. You must be fairly new here. I am terrible about promoting myself. Most of you got here via a Google search, when Google was a search engine, or via Pinterest. Or, some of you may have heard about me from a friend or relative.
I don’t advertise. I probably should, but I don’t.
And I don’t talk a whole lot about my digital products. I hesitate to call them “e-books,” because that has become synonymous with a freebie —something a blogger produces in an afternoon while nursing her baby.
No, my guides are so crammed with information that most people feel guilty for paying so little.
To get you started, I’ve created an intro page, linked in the main menu, but you can click it here, as well.
From there, additional links provide more detailed information about the guides and their contents.
Please note that my digital guides are digital. They are PDF files you download to your hard drive. From there, if you want a hard copy, this post serves as permission to print one copy for personal use.
Isn’t everything in your guides somewhere on this website?
Some of it is, but most of it is nowhere on here. And good luck finding it. The beauty of the guides is that the information you’re seeking is in concentrated form.
Why isn’t it in tangible book form, Laurel?
Good question.
1. I can’t update the guides as I do and give them out for free.
2. I lose control.
3. The publisher takes most of the money.
4. I’d have to sell myself to a publisher, and history has shown me that will be a humiliating experience.
5. Self-publishing makes 1000 times more sense for me.
That’s what the blog is for. It’s to attract a following. Incidentally, that’s the premise of my Six-Figure Blogger Guide, which is also helpful for brick-and-mortar businesses —anyone with a website, to capture more business from your website. Without customers, there can be no business.
However, as I said, I kinda suck at going after folks. I don’t have to. They find me. And that’s something I am incredibly grateful for and never take for granted.
For people who’ve already purchased my guides, which is a large number now, I sometimes receive panicked emails.
Your email has changed six times; your hard drive got flushed down the toilet…
Or, you may have used up all your downloads, not realizing that they are stored on your computer in the downloads folder.
Or, you simply have no idea what you did with your downloaded guide(s).
For questions like these, and more, I created a short guide to explain the most common questions.
That’s so I don’t have to write out the same message dozens of times.
The most important point that took me years to figure out is this.
YOUR DOWNLOAD LINK NEVER CHANGES.
That means you can always use any link sent to you in your email by Sendowl, so if you do a search for Sendowl in your email, it should be there, unless you delete all of your emails.
Most of you who purchased in the early years have gotten back to me about emails changing; however, if you haven’t, please feel free to contact me at admin at laurel bern interiors dot com.
However, if you’ve lost track of your downloaded guide(s), please search your email first. My fingers are thanking you!
As a PSA, it appears that many people are unaware that when you change your email address, you can have the old one forwarded, just like your snail mail. I had to change my email address in 2013, and it would’ve been a disaster if I hadn’t had my email forwarded.
This Flash Sale will last for one week and end Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET.

For Laurel’s Rolodex, the Paint and Palette Collection, and the Six-Figure Income Blogger, you will always receive lifetime updates.
Please also know that I am working on updates for Laurel’s Rolodex, the Etsy Guide, and the 333 Decorating Rules & Tips You Need to Know. These will be released sometime in November.
In the meantime, this sale lines up with the TENTH Anniversary of Laurel’s Rolodex!!!
This was the first guide and it did so well, that I was losing my mind. haha
Well, it’s funny now, not so much back in 2015.

No really. I had just taken on three new jobs, and it was clear it was either be a full-time blogger or a full-time interior designer. That was a very easy decision, and I never looked back except in wonderment that I lasted as long as I did in a business I’m not really suited for. (The business side of it.)
Okay, this was supposed to be a brief introduction to the sale.
If you purchased the Laurel Home Bundle Paint and Palette Collection, you were sent an update earlier this evening.
If you can’t find it, it might be in your spam folder, as that’s where email you want to receive often ends up. The real spam often ends up in your inbox.
Please remember it’s 20% off of everything, the bundles are an exceptional deal, and you get free lifetime updates. Laurel’s Rolodex updates every November.
If you’d like to read dozens of testimonials, you can visit the Laurels Rolodex page.
There are a few testimonials on the Paint and Palette Guide page, and a separate page of testimonials is available if you’re having trouble sleeping.
And if you’re one who was waiting for a sale to purchase, and already know what you want, you can also go directly to the purchase products page by clicking this button.
Thanks so much, guys.
We’ll resume with normal programming mid-week.
xo,

To facilitate this, some readers have asked me to put
A link to Amazon.com is on my home page.

This is such an inspiring post — I love how you’ve framed these paint guides as something truly magical. The way you’ve combined practical tips with elegant vision makes it feel like anyone can confidently choose color and style without second-guessing.
Your breakdown of how to use the guides cleverly (not just as pretty images) is especially helpful — it makes them feel like tools, not just decoration. And the transparency about the work behind the scenes lends real credibility.
Thank you for sharing these valuable resources. It’s the kind of post that makes readers feel empowered to make bold, beautiful choices in their homes.
Thanks so much, that makes sense. Do you know which fan deck your colours come from? You probably have a super deluxe designers’ version with 3000 colours, but on the website there is a Classics deck with 1680 “foundational, classic” colours or a Colour Preview with 1232 “bold and vibrant shades… with a range of more nuanced and subtle versions of those same hues” or the Collections deck which “includes; Off White Collection, Historical Color Collection, Designer Classics Collection, Affinity Color Collection, and Color Stories® Collection” – these seem to be the big ones.
Hi Laurel I really appreciate the opportunity to get the paint guides at a discount, especially as my aussie dollar isn’t worth so much against the USD. But I need to know, is there a way to convert the Benjamin Moore colours to other paint brands, like Dulux? BM isn’t very accessible over here, and the hubs works for a major hardware chain, so can get great discounts on several brands, just not BM.
Hi Karen,
You probably could, but you’d at least need to have the fan decks so your paint vendor can match the colors.
Thank you for providing these guides…and giving a great reason why you DIY your books! That is a very interesting back story. I have a family member, waiting for a contract for several books, that found out from an acquaintance that the books were published, and they had bought them! So I went online to buy my relative’s books, so he could see it for himself. He hadn’t even received a copy. (I am not making this up.) Thankfully it was a mistake, and has been rectified, but I wouldn’t publish a thing with a publisher again!
Laurel, do you know if Dear Keaton out of business? I bought a couple of chars from them and there is no communication from them, no shipping. The phone is disconnected and the email bounces back. I appreciate your help as I really like the chairs and would like to get them. Thanks
Congratulations on the 10th year anniversary of Laurel’s Rolodex! And on completing the update of the paint guides. I can’t even imagine all the work that goes into such an effort. You rock, Laurel!
Thanks so much, Sheree. You’re right. It’s unimaginable. lol
