		<description><![CDATA[Going to High Point Market in North Carolina to see all the latest offerings in furniture and interior design. I'm excited to be spending time at the C.R. Laine showroom because they are a vendor I use quite a bit.  The quality of their furniture, fabrics and finishes is superb and I am so excited to introduce them to those of you who may not know about them.  If you are looking for custom furniture in Kansas City and like what you see, I hope you'll think of me and the team at Design Connection.  We can help you design furniture that is perfect and tailored specifically for you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You say "Tomato" I say "To-mah-to" - sometimes people have completely different style preferences which poses a challenge when they get married and live together. Such was the case with this project which was such a challenge because he loved contemporary, she loved traditional. We met with them and Design Connection transformed their home with new paint, furniture, accessories and a healthy dose of space planning to create a space with form and function! They love their "new" rooms and we hope you will too!]]></description>

Clutter takes energy to maintain. Whether you have lots of clutter in your home, office or personal life the idea is the less clutter, the more room you have for prosperity and good things to come to you.]]></description>
