President Obama and Michelle Obama have made a most unprecedented decorating decision to date. They've decided to pay for the decorating of the White House private residence and the Oval Office themselves! They'll forego the $100,000 budget of public funds set aside to redecorate their quarters. Nor are they accepting gifts for the project either.
When Mr. Obama promised change...he really meant it. At a time when everyday Americans are loosing jobs and homes at an accelerated rate they're sending a much appreciated message.
I just hope those who have responsibility for corporate treasuries, pension funds, and boards of directors get it... It's a new day. Greed and self indulgence are out. Integrity and prudence are in. The pendulum had swung too far and now it's correcting itself. I've always believed good leadership leads by example, it seeks to elevate... and in our new first family the example on how leadership should respond toward the public trust is more than a breath of fresh air... in spite of the economy and the slow down in my decorating business... I'm breathing a little better.

Golden
Maya from"Girlfriends", on the CW network was one of my favorite characters on the show. Now actress Golden Brooks who played the hip and sassy Maya has listed her Hollywood Hills home for $1.8M with Keller-Williams Realty. The 4 bedroom, 31/2 bath 3,500 square foot contemporary offers great views and an updated Hollywood sophistication. There is a spa in the master bedroom suite and a chef's kitchen.
I'm glad she listed with Keller-Williams Realty .... I just became an agent with them in their Kingstowne, VA office while still keeping my responsibilities with Red River Interiors....I always have something going on...love it that way.

View Over the Potomac
I love city life and I especially enjoy the high rise views from northern Virginia over the Key Bridge into DC. This apartment exemplifies city life. The grid pattern windows hint of an industrial feel and the furniture is absolutely contemporary... fresh. I could live here easily.
