I was just passing by their little blue house in downtown Carmel, when I saw the sign and stopped to get the scoop. First, the shop is adorable, filled with plants, "moss art" and other home decor. You had me at plants - I love plants. I spoke with Makenzie, one of the co-owners. She gave me info about Fall and Christmas holiday options to decorated your front door, patio and even put up a Christmas Tree. For $480 you can get a Christmas wreath, garland and decorated side planters for the porch. They bring it to your home and decorate for you. What a great idea for people that are too busy to decorate (or like me, just not creative). I was encouraged by Makenzie to visit their website to see examples of their different decorating packages before ordering. The shop porch is also decorated. Worth a visit for anyone who wants easy decorating.

This would be a great place to buy unique holiday gifts - ornaments, coasters, prints, mugs, etc. but I'm not sure how much foot traffic it gets being inside a larger building.

The gallery also serves as a space for exhibitions and pop-up events. During a visit to the Grand Opening exhibition, I was impressed by the variety of displayed artwork. There were 13 or so artists that were represented, and the work was curated in a way that they all fall in their own categories and genres. It was a feast for the eyes to be able to see a little bit of everything. The gallery itself is located in a modern space with an industrial feel. There are walls on wheels that provide flexibility on how the space is used. Some events (workshops, dance lessons) are already scheduled to take place at the gallery.

You will find this piece at the Window of the World shopping plaza (the old Lafayette Square Mall)…read morenext to Shopper's World. The mall is pretty vacant and under construction. Parking to get a closer looked at the mural is very easy and it is a huge parking lot available for the mall that has few cars because the mall is vacant. This mural is the work of Nick Abstract, a color-blind contemporary artist, who specializes in geometric abstraction. It is a simple mural, measures 36 feet tall by 72 feet wide, and was painted in the Summer of 2022. As the artist's name implies, it is an abstract piece. The mural is very colorful and goes with the colorful theme of the mall. The mural depicts the Mall's "W" logo with colorful bands of light emitting from it in geometric patterns. It is painted on a beveled wall which gives it somewhat of a 3D effect and just adds to the mural. The colors are very vivid and really pop. When speaking of the mural, Abstract said "Painting this [mural] was a dream. Massive lines, sweeping shapes of angular momentum. It was an all-around good experience and I hope the mural lives on for years to come - to inspire people and engage those with a curious mind." Anyway, as with most murals that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.

I made a tray to keep my plants on and was so surprised at how big it was!

When making the reservation it will ask you for your design and who you want to be seated by. They'll have your board and the stencil ready for you. After that, you'll do some damage to make it look a little worn, stain, paint, and stencil. Voila! It took us a few hours, so definitely don't plan anything immediately afterwards. I would highly recommend and will likely be back to make my Spring sign! Thank you B&B!

The whole process from start to finish was seamless, we collaborated on the design and within days she had a rendering ready for us and started work the very next weekend, working from early in the morning until late in the day, and she completed the job earlier than scheduled and it was exactly the same as the rendering. In short Siena was professional, on time (actually early) and delivered exactly what she promised, you've gotta love that In a sea of people who over promise and under deliver Siena is a gem, I highly recommend her.

With our color theme in mind, she did thumbnail sketches in pencil, offering us 8 options to get a sense of what overall feel we liked. From the thumbnail, she worked up an entire composition to the scale of our door. We got to see a couple of color variations as it was in process and loved the one she landed on. I asked to come along when she purchased paint and watching her work from her design with the paint swatches in hand was a delight. She put together the perfect palette and her knack for getting just the right color was obviously a developed skill. Seeing her freehand the design onto the garage door was a marvel - I imagined there must be projectors involved, but she was able to transfer the design just using the panels of the door as a grid. Working diligently from morning to evening, it took three days to finish the mural and at the end, it was exactly like the mockup she had provided! Absolutely incredible experience, I am filled with joy every time I approach my garage.
