I'm a huge coffee lover and am an Art Director. This video combined 2 big influences in my life. I especially like the look & feel of your boutique. If I ever make it back to L.A., I'll definitely make a stop at LA Mill Coffee!

The commercial aspect of these interviews is offensive.

Unfortunately, Ray, someone has to pay for the content. Are you talking about the pre-roll? Or the videos themselves?

I turned it off when I realized it was a paint commercial. Ugh.

Who on earth hires a decorator to redo their *temporary* space? Seriously? Nice work if you can get it, I suppose.

More power to them. I think she says "he (her decorator) is an old friend",

I kind of wish they had expanded on the part where they were inspired from textures.

I realize we must make a living, but Glidden can be made part of the Video in a slightly more honest way. Although I loved the family and the success in so many ways they are having, there was not enough substance regarding the house and the colors. When in LA, I will come by and try Lunch at their place. Maybe they will personally give me a better tour? Thanks, DWELL.
