Off the Wall
I want to create more open living areas in my home. In order to do this, I need to either knock down a wall, keep a half wall or put in columns. Do you know of an interior designer who can give me guidance on my best option? I appreciate your recommendations.

A Sea of Red for Bella
From Team JAB
The indomitable spirit of our community is extraordinary. Friends, family and "Bella's Believers" gathered in Peacock Park on Monday night to celebrate the life, strength and spirit of Bella Rodriguez-Torres. The prayer vigil was led by Pastor Bill White, Bella's sister Rayna and Bella's Aunt Nina. Being together, and knowing that many more were there in spirit, brought much comfort to Bella's family. Peacock Park was a sea of red (Bella's favorite color). Despite a concerted effort to stand together in the shape of a heart, the group was simply too large to organize. But as if someone was watching over Bella, the dozens of red balloons, simultaneously released, formed a distinct heart in the sky.
Thank you, as always, for your unwavering support of one another. You have, once again, demonstrated the true meaning of community. To view Pastor Bill White's sermon, click HERE, HERE, and HERE. To view the balloon release, click HERE.
