Success!  The faux brick wall in the office of Main Street Concord looks sensational!  Sincere thanks to Sherry Burnett (Burnett Designs) for her creative talent and hard work. 

It’s official:  the project for Main Street Concord, Inc. is underway!   Sherry Burnett and I have been working to create a faux brick wall in each room of the Main Street office.   Below are a few images of our progress so far.

   First room – Tape, tape, and more tape…

 As you can see, I was a little loopy by the second room 

 The response so far has been fantastic.  More images are on their way – stay tuned!

During the month of October I was a very busy bee developing a design proposal for the office of Main Street Concord, Inc.  This non-profit group, responsible for maintaining a healthy downtown community, had extended an invitation to local designers to offer a solution for their own office in need of a fresh start. 

To make a long story short, a well established design firm and myself each presented our suggestions for this project.  After careful consideration by numerous committees, the vote overwhelmingly fell in my favor!  What a wonderfully exciting opportunity   

One feature of my design is to have the exterior walls painted to resemble a brick facade (quite fitting for Main Street Concord, huh?)  I am delighted to say that Sherry Burnett of Burnett Designs will be facilitating this element of my design.  She is a remarkable artist, to say the least.  Sherry is available through her website www.sherryburnett.net.

Stay tuned for updates on the project’s progress – Cheers!

First and foremost, I wanted my business name to reflect nature.  After all, it is my strong appreciation for the environment and sense of responsibility that prompted my focus on Green Design practices.  Also, considering a few of my favorite things in this world are flowers, color, and art, this name worked well.

Lavender:  an herb known to possess relaxation properties (where better to relax than in your own home!); a pale purple color (not only a favorite of mine, but considered the color of creativity).

Lotus:  family of water lilies; an element of nature that has been represented in art and architecture in several cultures since ancient Egyptians; a cross-legged sitting position used in yoga.
