About Kelee Katillac and House of Belief A 'reformed interior designer', artist, creative therapist and author, Kelee’s first book, House of Belief: Creating Your Personal Style, was an Amazon.com best-seller and featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and in the pages of USA Today, Better Homes & Gardens, the Utne Reader, and Body + Soul magazine. She is also founder of the House of Belief workshops for Habitat for Humanity International. The Best Little Trailer House in Kansas That’s what her rural Kansas trailer home came to be called more than 20 years ago. Faced with severe depression compounded by very little income and low self-esteem, Kelee somehow found the strength to begin expressing her creativity. The trailer house became symbolic of the process that would eventually heal her. "One day I found an old chair on the sidewalk, and it looked like I felt: the fabric was dirty and torn, the legs were broken. I felt sorry for it, so I took it back to my trailer and began to restore it with whatever I could find. With every action of creativity I felt better, and I began to believe more in my potential. The chair became a visual affirmation. When I looked at it, I began to believe that my creativity could transform my whole life." Oprah on Kelee “The remarkable story of a woman who says your home should be more than a place that stores your things...but a place where your child feels loved and supported, and a place that reflects who they are and who they want to be.” In addition to The Oprah Winfrey Show, Kelee has appeared on the Discovery Channel’s Christopher Lowell Show, Pure Oxygen, and the Carolyn Myss Show on Oprah's Oxygen Network. Articles by or about Kelee and House of Belief have been featured in more than 200 newspapers nationwide. Make...and Believe Through that experience Kelee discovered that creating is believing. “My heart used my hands to heal me. Eventually I made my way into the world of interior design – but I knew I needed to share the lessons of my House of Belief.” That journey from her trailer house beginnings to celebrated interior designer and author was introduced in House of Belief, and now continues through Kids’ Sacred Places: Rooms for Believing & Belonging, which illustrates how kids and their parents can take positive ideas – from the heart – and make something from it with their hands. This affirmative decorating process can result in a creative array of handmade chairs, pillows, curtains, window shades, mosaics, lamps, murals, walls, and much more. Creating Your Own House of Belief Today, Kelee speaks and presents workshops on her belief-based design philosophy to audiences worldwide.
