I am also very excited to add a new official ASP onto our team — Elaine, who is currently assisting on staging jobs, as well as running the office and helping me to revamp the inventory, storage and marketing 
Speaking of marketing, please look for our new logo & website makeover that will be launched in 2007. (hee hee) We have also massively shopped this 2 weeks. We snatched some great accessories at Design Within Reach, as well as picking up some great paintings & accessories from various furniture warehouse sales. We are so excited to put them in our upcoming jobs!!!
Happy selling,
Cindy
