everybody’s favorite everything – lisa holt

I usually don’t double up on my “everybody’s favorite everything,” but Lisa Holt from NapaStyle is — as in right now — holding a Facebook Q&A about creating indoor and outdoor living spaces that reflect the casual elegance of Napa Valley.  Mmmmmm …. Napa.  Now I’m daydreaming about sunny, relaxed days spent exploring vineyards … and a driver to take us there.  So learn more about Lisa here … and then head over to Facebook to ask away!

I think I notice a theme here!  And doesn’t everything taste better in Italy??
