how Weidner runs her business. She has
worked in most every type of home. From
modest houses to million-dollar properties,
from New York to Tampa, and from
Bordeaux to Brentwood, Weidner has left
her mark on home interiors across the
country. "I have met and worked with
most every walk of life, and I enjoy meeting
people of all backgrounds," says
Weidner.
Weidner and her crew thrive on taking
existing, lifeless pieces and arranging
them in exciting, creative ways. Changing
Spaces can accommodate most any style.
Weidner says her specialty is making a
space feel comfortable and inviting, and
that she leans toward warm and cozy.
Changing Spaces initial consultation
takes about an hour and costs
$50. Weidner usually spends the hour
getting to know a client's preferences,
style and how much they use a particular
space. She will then determine a
price for the space factoring in how
much furniture moving is involved
and the overall size of the room(s)
being redesigned. Weidner will also
determine if the homeowner wants to
get involved or if she needs to bring
additional staff, which will add to the
total cost. After the redesign, Weidner
will usually leave a list of items the
client can purchase over time to add
to their new room. In addition to room
scription to Nashville’s most popular
GLBT newspaper. Now that truly is a winwin
situation. If you already have a free
subscription, fill out the form again and
check the appropriate box (we’ve thought
of everything). We’re sorry but we can’t
accept e-mail entries.
Entries will be gathered through January
and February editions of Out & About
Nashville. All entries must be postmarked
by Feb. 28. Four finalists will be selected
from a drawing. Changing Spaces and Out
& About Nashville will visit each home
redesign, Changing Spaces offers home
staging and preparation for sale and holiday
decorating services. As Weidner is an
avid house boater, Changing Spaces also
specializes in houseboat décor.
Weidner is a member of the Interior
Design Society as well as an Interior
Redesign Industry Specialist. Both are
professional organizations committed to
providing the best interior design services
in the country. Members of these organizations
are frequently featured on HGTV
(Home and Garden Television) conducting
makeovers with before and after scenarios.
Weidner believes her associations
with these professional organizations are

and take several before pictures. Changing
Spaces will then evaluate the before photos
to determine which room has the most
need and the best redesign potential.
Changing Spaces will select a winner and
will do a makeover feature on the winner’s
home. A feature story that will appear in
Out and About Nashville will be done on
the winning makeover.
Here’s the legal part. Only one entry per
household. Translation. . . No ballot stuffing
please. This is Tennessee not Florida.
Out & About Nashville, Inc., reserves the
Meredith named O&AN managing editor
Brent Meredith, art/entertainment editor
of Out & About Nashville, has been named
managing editor of the monthly publication.
He replaces Jon Coomer, who will concentrate
his efforts towards a new role as copy
editor.
Meredith, a 1998 graduate of Austin Peay
State University, has a B.S. degree in public
relations and radio/TV
and will be responsible
for the day-to-day editorial
operations of the newspaper.

Meredith
Providing coverage for the arts area will
be Christopher Hamblin, who has been
named associate arts editor. F. Daniel Kent
will provide coverage of the entertainment
scene as associate entertainment editor. See
"Extended coverage" article for more details
on the new arts and entertainment sections.
"Recent reader feedback indicates a need
important because of the continuing
education they offer in the trends of the
industry as well as camaraderie they
build between redesigners across the
United States and Canada.
Weidner attributes a recent boom in
business to local media attention and a
sluggish economy. "The majority of my
business was through referrals until last
August. I started doing some advertising
and was featured on Talk of the
Town. Now business is really booming,"
said Weidner. "People are realizing that
with little to no cost creative placement
of furniture and accessories can make
them love their things all over again." �
