A&A Legacy Wall

"Legacy" is a powerful word. To create a legacy is to build something worth remembering. Our Texas friends at A&A Machine & Fabrication have made a legacy in the way they do business for over 50 years.  Recently they came on to our interactive designer website with the intent of building a mural that would celebrate the legacy of their business. The...

What's Your "Honest Slogan"?

If you had to be real honest with yourself about your business, you'd probably admit that there are areas in your business that you see differently than they see. They don't have the same complete image in mind that you have of yourself. This gap between intended image and actual image is what makes sites like honestslogans.com succeed. Giant national businesses...

Confirmed: We Need a Company Dog.

If there's one thing we love almost as much as creating amazing visual displays, it's stray dogs that decide to pay us unexpected visits. And today, that's exactly what happened. Meet this guy: We saw this stud roaming around by himself earlier today, and decided to invite him in for a while. We noticed he had a tag around his collar, so we called the animal clinic...

City of Marshall, we hope you like your new windows!

As I'm typing this from within the core of the frozen tundra, it's a whopping 1 degree out, a temperature I'm just grateful has no negative sign attached to it. In local talk, it's actually quite balmy.  But let me take you back last week. Remember those couple days of paradise? When the temperature was up near 50 degrees? It was a pretty big thrill, and not just...

Our New Work at Geske Home Improvement

If you haven't heard it yet, the mission of Lifewall for Business is this: transform business leaders' visions into reality on their walls.  Pursuing that central goal answers a whole set of questions along the way, including:  What does my business do?  What does my business' values?  What does my business promise to deliver?  ... and a...

We've picked a winner! Here's our quirkiest couple!

Wow, this was not easy!  For the past couple of weeks, we've been drowning in some incredible quirky cuteness. Our Facebook page was sprinkled with so many different forms of quirk, all amazing in their own ways. As Jacob was deciding which one would walk away with the FREE 16"x12" canvas print, we were all struggling/chuckling/giggling with him.  That...

Brick Wall Cutouts at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

A few months ago, we did something we've never done before -- a big mural on a brick wall at Marshall High School, made with a thin vinyl intended for rough surfaces. It applies with heat guns, and has a painted texture/feel when it's finished. If you missed that project, check it out here.  Anyway, we've done a couple of other brick wall/rough surface projects since...

Growth Causes Complexity That Requires Clarity

On May 9th of this year, the annual Leadercast event, sponsored by companies including Chic-Fil-A, Coca Cola, Delta, and TOMS, will give us some amazing teaching on leadership. In celebration of the upcoming event, I wanted to revisit an idea from last year, delivered by Andy Stanley: the powerful duo of growth and clarity. Growth is the greatest thing a business...

Our Hanging Banner Displays at Wesley United Methodist Church

If there's one thing a lot of our customers are good at, it's throwing us some creatively awesome curve balls. That's how I often feel about some of the projects we get the privilege of creating. People come in with a new, we-never-could-have-thought-of-it-ourselves idea, and we get to make it a reality. When Dave Hoganson talked to us about a vision he had for Wesley...

"Always [don't] be the smartest person in the room." Developing effective business leadership.

Lifewall for Business supports leaders with vision, but why limit that to prints on your wall? Some interesting thoughts on developing effective business leadership... Have you ever heard the phrase “Always be the smartest person in the room”? I heard this the other day, and it sounds pretty compelling, especially for leaders. But if you really look at that statement...

Show us a quirky couple photo, & you could win a canvas print!

I don't know if you know this, but on January 4th of this year, Lifewall's Maxx Raths did something super great:  He got married. <3 This is huge because 1) Marriage is a huge. And 2) There's not a single "single" man working at Lifewall anymore. We're all hitched, and we're all loving it. Combine these facts with this other important fact: Valentine's...

Business Profile: Scott Williams - Bisbee P & H Mural

  Lifewall for Business is built around capturing the vision of a business and proclaiming it to the community through murals and canvas prints. In order to be the best, we need to invest into each business to the fullest, and truly understand what it values and envisions (It sounds pretty technical, I know). It's actually incredibly rewarding to get to know the...

Lifewall for Business: Helping leaders bring their visions to life on their walls!

Back in 2012, we started Lifewall as an online business with the intention of working with individuals and families who want to transform their walls into something that reflects who they are and what they love. But apparently, starting & growing a business isn't always as predictable as you might think. Because to our huge excitement, things have changed quite a...

Now open until 7pm on Thursdays!

As we've made a more local focus in the past several months, we've realized just how difficult it is for some people to stop by and work with us. Makes sense! When people work from around 8-5pm, it's often difficult to visit another business that's open from... 8-5pm.  What are we doing about that?  This:  If you've been one of those people unable...
