Some people love that we are now offering the same customized design and consultation services at much lower prices. By moving everything online we are able to reduce our operating costs -- our past fuel bills were dizzying!!! Some people, however, are unsure how it all works. It's so simple, really. All we need is a little information, some photos, your survey or plat plan, and the fee to get

Our program at Rohde's on Sunday went beyond the allotted time (ha) but everyone seemed to enjoy the experience. David brought Sage in at the end. We have spoken to this group several times and we wanted to introduce Sage to 'the family.' Neat, isn't it, when you love what you do and get to know so many wonderful people? We are always so grateful to be surrounded by incredibly intelligent,

Several years ago when I was employed by Collin County Community College, my supervisor gave me Kent M. Keith's Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments. I thumbed through it but was consumed at that time with reading classic novels. Only recently did I pick it up again...and was amazed by its relevance on all levels: personally, professionally, emotionally and spiritually. Don't you love it when

David, Sage, Folsom the Dog and I would like to wish you all a very happy new year. We hope your holiday season has been bright and earth-conscious. Bright green! Speaking of green...after much planning and hand-wringing and kink-working-out, NativeDave.com is once again harvesting our seeds of sustainability and replanting with a new crop of ideas. (In some cases, literally.) As you may remember

Gardening is a popular hobby. It fulfills aesthetic needs, but also physical, mental and spiritual goals. I've often heard gardeners describe the experience as "therapeutic." And I can't help but agree. This morning I harvested basil seeds (both sweet green as well as purple) while David potted up some "rescued" plants he saved from a vacant lot slated for clearing. For a time, at least, we

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, yesterday I traced our hands to make Turkey Hand Decorations. I loved making them when I was a little girl; I've waited a long time to be able to make them with my own child. As my pencil skirted the edges of Sage's little fingers, I felt my eyes well up with tears of happiness. Happiness, because I have the opportunity to share this simple, yet meaningful

Looking for a custom addition to your furniture collection? Consider an heirloom piece by Mike. He's in Plano and can be commissioned to create unique items, from cribs (see pic of the one he built for Sage) to headboards to shelves to planters, and more. He can also rework your existing pieces. Perfect for holiday gifts, or other special occasions. Email or call to see his portfolio.
