Meet Lisa
I've always had a passion for decorating and fashion.
I even own a cycling studio and boutique with my daughter. When I'm not thinking of ways to make tables look and feel spectacular, you can find me teaching fitness classes, playing pickleball, or spending time outdoors with my family and two sweet pups.
Meet Teri
Moving from New Jersey to this beautiful place has been a dream come true.
I enjoy many new social activities, playing cards, pickleball, and boating. I love being creative and finding ways to make the ordinary feel extraordinary. I'm always thinking outside the box, turning something simple into extravagant

Testimonials
Hear from our recent clients:
We used "Life of the Table" in December for a small dinner party in our home. Teri and Lisa were easy to work with...they were excited to do the job, and were fun and creative. They used much of what we had, and complemented the table with their own decor. The set up and take down was very easy and we were very happy with the result. I would certainly use them again the next time I entertain.
