candy colored studio podcast episode #101 - SWEETlady: brenda child
when we built our house on paradise lane, we had no idea how much of a refuge this lil’ street and neighborhood would become for our family.

candy colored studio episode #95 - SWEETlady: laura miller-johnson
sweet lady laura first impressed me with her unabashed sense of style and gift as a designer. as we adventured in italy rooming together while studying abroad, i learned and watched as she designed with a 6th sense in 3rd & 4th dimensions. Her authentic soul and raw honesty is such a breath of fresh air and still find myself in awe of her bravery. The sky was never the limit with laura and she exemplifies that in her design as a landscape architect, being a woman, mother, wife, and pursuing her dreams professionally and personally. love you so laura miller-johnson!
