Kelee Katillac uses what she calls “belief-based decorating” to create a visual affirmation of who the homeowner is.
I couldn’t agree more with the opening sentence in the book jacket of Kelee Katillac’s most recent book, “All kids need a space of their own, a sacred place, where everyday realities like peer pressure, family issues, bullies at school or low self-esteem cannot penetrate: a place of comfort and creativity that reflects and encourages their own positive intentions and beliefs, values, goals, and dreams for life.”
Kelee has turned her gifts of interior decorating and creativity into a therapeutic tool to help kids who are facing challenging times. Each chapter of the book focuses on a different person’s situation and their journey of healing, self-discovery and love.
Real-life examples throughout the book show readers how to take positive ideas –from the heart- and make something that represents them with their hands. The vibrant pages of Kids Sacred Places are filled with the colorful images of award-winning photographer Roy Inman, illustrating every project.
Kelee, also the author of the best selling House of Belief: Creating Your Personal Style, has demonstrated her design philosophy on The Oprah Winfrey Show as well as many other television shows and does a great deal of work with the Habitat for Humanity organization. How fortunate we are that Kelee calls Kansas City home.
