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...

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...
