I am so beyond excited about how amazingly generous my friends are! I am truly blessed to have them in my life. They support, honestly, everything that I do. It's like a reflex! I literally just express a thought, idea, need, whatever; and they are there with a means, a resource, a hand, an "I got you, don't worry about this" way of supporting me! These are the kinds of people we all need in our lives that enrich it and makes us so much better for their presence!
The 2013 Room Service Atlanta project is underway and many designers have begun the process of getting their spaces ready. I've yet to start the physical work, but I have been busy putting all of the pieces in place. Erika Ward and Dayka Robinson are the charitable geniuses that gave birth to this incredible organization! You so need to click on their names and visit their sites to get to know them! I can say that I genuinely adore both of these women. They are very different from each other, but they each are reflections of my personality collectively! Weird, huh?
My color inspiration for the lounge! I cannot wait to get started on the painting! Well, hmmm...I'm not quite sure how much of the painting I personally am going to do, but I can't wait to see it! You know what I mean! I'm sure I'll paint something because I'm a little too much of "I see things that need to get done, so I need to do them" kind of person; so my hands will have paint on them, I'm sure! SPECIAL THANKS TO GLIDDEN PAINTS FOR SPONSORSHIP AND DONATING THE PAINTING SUPPLIES for the entire project! Wow! Such an awesome contribution!
The sofa sectional has been donated by another incredible RSA sponsor, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, Atlanta! Jonathan White and his team in the Atlanta store are totally the best! I've had the privilege of working with Jonathan, and I promise you, he is the real deal! What you see is what you get! I love him! I may have to reconsider the lighting, as I'm thinking that if the guys get a little rowdy tossing a ball around and hit this amazing fixture, it may not end so pretty! I'm not 100% on the coffee table; I'd actually like four cubes that will serve as a coffee table and additional seating if needed. Maybe I'll make them...again, not "Me", but I'll have them made! Shaking my head! You guys should know better by now!
Okay, so totally excited about the gaming area! I may have to visit from time to time to get in on the action! My husband had the sweetest idea of having multiple televisions in the space for television viewing and for gaming. He was getting a little carried away with all of the TV's he said to do, but his idea was fantastic and I am running with it! I plan to paint the furnishings featured here in bright colors. I will need help with that, as I have not ever painted furniture before! You Tube will be viewed quite a bit in the next few weeks!
Words seem to escape me when trying to describe her, my friend Deirdre Frutiger purchased the laminate flooring for the lounge area, and the tile for the small restroom that's located inside of the lounge! Did I not say in the very first paragraph that I have the most supportive friends??? Well, here ya go! I cannot tell you how much this means to me! Sometimes all I can say is "Wow"! And for those of you who know me, it speaks volumes when I am rendered speechless!
This donation is so overwhelming! My client/good friend Dale Oudems, assisted me with getting the flooring, that Deirdre purchased, to the cottage one rainy day. He just happened to look up at the roof and says, "Have they had this roof inspected? It looks like they could use a new one. Have them send me some information about the organization and I'll see what I can do to get them one." He was so matter of fact when he said it, so I was like, ok. I got the information to him and two to three days later, the company where he is the human resources manager; CertainTeed in Peachtree City, Ga...was calling the CEO of the United Methodist Children's Home to find out how many tiles they needed in order to replace the roof! Shut the front door! Speechless! Again, I am so blessed; so much so to the point where I can't do anything except say "Thank you, Jesus"! We are all blessed to be a blessing, and my friends totally walk in this! Again, Thank you Jesus!
Make it AMAZING!
Rhonda
