Dreamy Bohemian Headboard

What a transformation for this twin bed… I’m drooling just thinking of waking up to this color explosion every morning…  Oh Alicia…do I paint one or make one? So much inspiration!  Thank heavens for spare bedrooms.

I can’t wait to show off the masterpiece 7ft high, 7ft wide handmade headboard that one of my designers Jennifer Frisbee has made for one of our clients.  You will be drooling all day long!  Have a colorful day everyone! xo LULU

Quote worthy…

I was reminded yesterday of a quote I once heard by John Mbiti, a Kenyan theologian, and I would love you to begin your day with this in mind…

“I am because we are and since we are, therefore I am.” -John Mbiti

For those of you who missed the show today have no fear…I did a nice little jerry-rigging of a tape job back in the green room special just for you!

Terri was our spokes gal and did a positively spectacular job.  Peg and I were far too nervous for her to even conceive being on live television but she treated it like a pro as usual.  She was demonstrating one the three eco-friendly demo’s we will be doing on April 2nd at the HEIB conference.  The hosts were divine.. what sweet and wonderful Rebecca and John are!  Thank you so much for making us all feel so comfortable.
