After picking out our own exterior home colors the last three times, we decided our cookie-cutter…read moreefforts lacked the curb appeal we always hope for. After all, we have seen beautifully painted homes all over Sonoma County, so why couldn't we be one? It's because we needed the right help... as in, a professional color consultant. After leafing through the local internet and talking with several such people, we chose Barbara Jacobs. Her portfolio, her confidence, her genuine interest and more were what settled us on her. Barbara came over, surveyed our home and environs, and over coffee, discussed our likes and dislikes. Then over a several week process, we kept winnowing out the close but not ideal colors until we were left with four colors that to us, seemed perfect. It wasn't until Carlos Garcia, the owner of Color Essentials Painting finished up that what seemed perfect...was. We never got there without Barbara, and we certainly would not have again. Thanks a million Barbara... you did it!

She demonstrated a wealth of knowledge about color and paint, and was a nice person to interact with. Barbara provided advice that matched our tastes, but also injected helpful ideas we hadn't considered (unlike other designers I've worked who were either too wishy-washy or too pushy). She provides a premium service at premium pricing; the cost will limit how frequently I can use her services, but she certainly provided excellent color advice. My wife and I are very happy with the results.

We use Deluxe Modern for our marketing material and branding/logo design work. Christine is…read morefabulous- she has a great eye, and a style that is able to meld clean, modern design and layout with cutesy, even nostalgic elements. We have had several projects that required collaboration to meet our needs (for example, brochures that needed some very particular copy), and she has been flexible and reliable. As a general rule, Christine has been able to accommodate our timelines, even on rush orders, While Deluxe Modern can handle simple web design work, I would say that they excel the most at logo and tagline/catchphrase creation, branding and attractive marketing presentation for print material, as well as digital. If you check out their portfolio, you will get a feeling for what they can do.

The City of Sebastopol is a great place to visit for so many reasons. It has a small-town charm…read morewith an artsy and laid back vibe to it. The downtown area has artsy type stores and there is also the Florence Avenue Junk Art walk, which is an open-air gallery of sculptures that showcases the town's quirky, fun, and creative spirit.

There are lots of farm to table restaurants that are absolutely delicious! The city is known for their gravenstein apples and even have a fair every year. There is a decent amount of produce grown in Sebastopol and the surrounding areas so the food here is always fresh and there are also farmer's markets if you want fresh produce. A popular spot in Sebastopol is the Barlow, which is a 12 acre market full of local breweries, wine tasting rooms, restaurants, shops, and so much more! It's a fun place to walk around and explore. Region is a fun self-serve wine tasting room and you can sample local wines there. Sebastopol and other small towns surrounding it are known for their exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. You will find these wineries tucked away and are one of the many great things about Sebastopol.

Most people see it while driving by on the highway, although you can also see it if you visit Hall Wines as well. The artist behind the sculpture is Lawrence Argent. They decorate it during certain times of the year. The story is, "When David and Jennifer (Kathryn's children) were little we were living in Dallas but spent at least 1 weekend a month at my family's vineyard in Mendocino. One of our daily routines was to walk through the vineyard singing the song 'Little Bunny Foo Foo hopping through the vineyard scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head' note that we changed the word forest to vineyard because it was our song. I am very excited that we now have a new not so little Bunny Foo Foo hopping through our vineyard here in St. Helena. Life feels like it comes full circle." -Kathryn Hall It's what happens when a family is loaded, they purchase a giant bunny sculpture.

"Bunny Foo Foo" is made of 3.3 metric tons of stainless steel, and takes its name from a children's poem. The mesh-like design was inspired by the vineyards, artist Lawrence Argent said.

It takes its name from a children's poem, "Little Bunny Foo Foo/hopping through the forest/scooping up the field mice/and bopping them on the head." The rabbit is clearly visible from the highway and there is room to stop. You can get closer to the rabbit if you're thinking about visiting the winery.
