Taking a leap......

I've decided to take a leap. A big one. Sometimes when you jump, you don't land very far, and other times you jump, you don't realize how far you've gone.

I'm a lucky girl to have closed my brick and mortar when I did, because I look around and see what is happening everywhere. I do still plan on opening again, but not now, and not with what is going on in this country of ours. I'm also one lucky girl to have such a lovely little office to walk down to every morning after I get my kiddo's out the door and on their way to school. Really, it's because of you my dear readers, that my online shop keeps me going and your encouragement keeps my spirits lifted.


My passion for style, colors, and placement only goes so far in my home. You've seen my home, you've seen a babies nursery that I helped in styling. You've seen my shop.

In the last 4 weeks, I've given advice to those who ask, I paint furniture for clients in my spare time, I give out paint colors to those who request it.







So, this is the leap I'm taking. I want to be able to offer you, my readers, a way to work with me via this long distant relationship that we have. I would love to offer you more of my services, even if you don't live in the same town as me.


Do you have a question regarding what to do with your bedroom? Which paint would work? Should you move some things around in your living room? More light, less light? Wallpaper or not to wallpaper, and if so, where should i go? For some people, they just need a little reassurance, or maybe just a tip or two.

My leap, this jump is my next phase of what Lola B's can bring to the table.







Or what Lola B's can do to a wall.

Great! You can start with my living room! (Please!) I think so many of us just get to the point where we've looked at it so many times we can't come up with anything new and need a fresh perspective.

My living room is driving me crazy. I'm tired of it. Again....

I need some new ideas.

you go girl. some people need a person that will hold their hand while they make decorating decisions. nothing drastic just a nudge of confidence. based on what i saw in your shop and the pictures you post of your house, it seems like you have chosen the right path. good luck
