The comes back to town Friday-March 18 at the National Western Complex, and it’s got some new wrinkles — including a Project Runway star who’ll show off a dress made from $20 worth of Home Depot supplies.
If your bent is more practical, Boulder interior designer , left, will conduct free, 10-minute consultations for those itching to put some sizzle into snoozy decor. Bring color swatches, plans or photos to Waggoner at booth 1725.
There, Waggoner will also unveil the design for a media room she and her team are creating and donating to Brent’s Place, a housing facility for immune-compromised kids and their parents near the Anschutz medical facility.
