The Sun Valley Center for the Arts is offering two one-night workshops that can improve your home life.

"The idea behind the workshops is to show that everyone, not just wealthy people or people who subscribe to design magazines, can make their homes more beautiful and comfortable and eco-friendly," said the center's Britt Udesen.

* "(Be it) Ever Evolving, There is No Place Like Home" with feng shui practitioner and lifestyle coach Alex Taylor - 5:30-7:30 p.m. Jan. 27 at the center's Hailey location. Do you ever wonder why certain rooms of your home provide comfort while others are best left with the door shut? Explore your relationship with your home, and understand how your decorating choices are reflected in the lives of household members.

* "Creating a Home for Conscious Living" with Dale and Peggy Bates - 5:30-7:30 p.m. Feb. 10 at the center's Ketchum location. Two longtime leaders in the field of healthy architecture will discuss how you can make concrete improvements to the health of your home, from your choice of finishes to energy efficiency.

Sign up for both and receive a discounted price: $55 for Sun Valley Center for the Arts members and $65 for nonmembers. Individual workshops cost $30 for members and $35 for nonmembers.
