I love this show..have watched it for a long time and I remember when David was competing and actually won the chance to have his own tv show! He was given this square outside cubicle to decorate and won!
He works so well with everyone on the show…I liked the one when his producer surprised him by having his sister show up during a taping…The warmth of family was great…His signature paintings are always a special touch! Lots of great ideas for me! Thanks again, Susan Hackney of Bakersfield, CA
I also love this show! Though David’s colors may seem “wild” at first, they always seem to look tremendous in the end! I wish I had that confidence!
I had the pleasure to visit Bali many years ago and love the casual tropical look that is so prevalent there! Color, flowers, ocean, trees, … paradise! Thanks for the reminder. I will have to check out the new items you have at the store. I’m sure you have something fabulous that I can use at home. See you soon. Debby Schipper, Bakersfield, CA.
