2 Days Left

Hello : )  

It is crunch time for me here.  I was hoping to have a finished room to show all of you but that will have to wait as carpenters are still working on the space.  Today they are to put in some cabinetry, ceiling tiles, and the two chandeliers that I got from Ikea.

Here is my daughter, one of the slew of volunteers helping paint and do graphics.

Our whole family has gotten involved.  My other daughter helping me with the reupholstering of 2 seat cushions.

My husband who has helped me with two sets of chairs.  Today still sanding and hopefully will be final stain by this evening.

If anyone says refinishing chairs is easy..don't believe them (LOL).

More updates next week.  Have a great weekend everyone : )

Community Undertaking

I am so happy it's Friday!  Are you all looking forward to Memorial Day Weekend?  I know I am.  

I have been really busy the last several months and all for a great cause.  I have been asked to be a part of the design team for Rockford Sharefest.  It's a once a year event where Heartland Community Church, volunteers and businesses from all over our city come together to renovate certain schools.  It's our way of giving back : )

Check this video out..

I had to come up with design inspiration for a teachers lounge at one of the schools and here is my inspiration

Inspiration from..Design Sponge, Elle Decor, HGTV Dream Home, Natuzzi, Design Within Reach, Angelo Surmelis (Rate My Space)

I met several days ago with the other ladies (not all of them) to go over the plans for the teachers lounge which we are in (in this picture below) but also to finalize everything else for that school.

These guys are genius carpenters.  Thank God for Becky helping us get all the measurements right.

Everyone has been a joy to work with.  I can't wait to show all of you what has been accomplished : )

BTW... Have a great Memorial Day weekend.  Say thank you to our men and women in uniform if you come across them.

The song "Discover Life " was written by my husband for Rockford Sharefest .. hope you enjoy.
