Testimonials About Barbara

I took the questionnaire from the Bajaro Method online and it really made me think about my home and what my preferences are. I realized that my space is my sanctuary. I found the quizzes very helpful to really discover more about my likes, dislikes and what makes me feel comfortable. It made me consider choices outside my normal “box” of ideas. As a result of the questionnaires, I would like to add more color and include more items that are soothing to me and reflect my personality.

I so LOVE what you did with the house. Three people who have been coming to my house for a while now, this was their first time noticing the small table in the “open pantry” as I call it. We are enjoying more eating at the dining room. Last night we put all the rugs in and you should see the difference that it made. So warm, I wish you could see it. Thank you so much for coming over and making the changes, it really opened up our house as well as inviting us back in to love our house. Again, thank you for your time and your advice.

I appreciate so much how you helped us “take the fear out of interior decorating.” When Jeff and I bought this house we wanted to add some color and thought of painting an accent wall. As you know, I am not timid about self-expression in areas that I am familiar with, but decorating isn’t my area of expertise, so I didn’t trust my instincts. You listened, applied your knowledge of us and our lives, and your advisement was right on. You were able to zero in on what I desired to do, instead of what I voiced. Because of your encouragement, we found our edge and have been so happy with our decorating decisions. Our home makes me smile every time I enter it and isn’t that what it is all about? Later, when it came time to do some updates how fortunate for me that you wrote “The Bajaro Method” for me to turn to. It was just like you being there to listen and encourage. I turn to it every time I need “permission.” Thanks again, and I wish everyone their own healing environment.

Barbara Kaplan gets to the heart of the matter. In her Bajaro Method certification classes, Barbara shares extensively from her years of experience with vendors, clients, and the design industry. More importantly, she offers a unique opportunity to understand how important the human element is in transforming a room into an inviting living space, a house into a home, a space into a sanctuary. I was reminded to actively listen to my clients and remember that design should always be a collaborative process, after all, it is their home!

Deborah M.K., Prescott, AZ

My skill set doesn’t include any of those required to envision a beautiful and gracious home. I want to open the door, walk in and have it be me and done. How to get there, well, there was the rub! I didn’t even know my colors, never even thought about them. This is not to say that I was lazy and disinterested in everything. I have my reason to be and I feel very comfortable in my role on the planet. I just didn’t know at that time that I had any crossover skills. Barbara was able to get me to focus, gently and lovingly, and to become interested in selecting fabrics and tasks of that sort. Ultimately, all of the choices were mine and my husband’s. I understand why I made each and everyone and I love it all. Barbara’s gentle guidance opened me up to this new world that I tip toed in until I became comfortable. Barbara was the “wind beneath my wings.”

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

When we decided we wanted to remodel our home, all was well and good. The problem was I had no idea where to start, what was next, how to do any of it. Fortunately, my dear friend, Barbara was an expert in virtually everything I needed to know from the smallest detail to the grandest plan. If I dreamt it, she could manifest it. Things that might have flitted through my mind on a semi-creative day, which in my life was exceedingly rare, in hers, constant, were taken very seriously. This odious project which I had feared became a joy when Barbara and I did it together.

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

All is well and our home has become such a welcoming Haven for our family and friends.

Gayle W., Scottsdale, AZ

As I read “The Bajaro Method”, I thought that the author’s understanding of the emotional impact of our environments was helpful. At first I did not understand what Barbara Kaplan meant when she said that “Rooms don’t have feelings, you do.” Then, as I continued through the chapters, I had an “A-ha” moment. I came to a deeper understanding of how the design choices I make affect the emotions of the occupants. As a young designer, it is up to me to ask the right questions and make a healing, comforting and personal environment. I also have been inspired to look around my own home and think about what changes I want to make for myself and my family. I am pleased with the insight that I gained from reading this book.

Amy S., ASID Allied

I believe that one of the biggest truths in life is that change is constant. When Barbara works with you, she is an amazing source to guide you to make those changes positive, whether you are changing your home, your personal life or your business.

Ruth U., Scottsdale, AZ

I took The Bajaro Method Interior Design Preference Profile online and for the first time, it made me think about my home and my preferences. This process made me understand that my space is my sanctuary. The questions helped me learn more about my likes, dislikes, and what makes me feel comfortable. It made me consider choices outside my normal “box” of ideas. Based on the results, I plan to add more color and some items that are soothing that reflect my personality.
