The talent of our GCDC membership was evident in the entries for the first ever
2011 GCDC Decorating Star Contest. A big thank you to all contestants!!!
Selecting a winner is always difficult....but there can be only one!
The GCDC Decorating Star for 2011 is....
In Mary's words describing the project:
"Like many people, these folks had changed the identity of a room to suit their lifestyle. They had decided that the dining room would make a good play room for their children. Well this is all well and good until it came time to market the property. Keep in mind, this was a “first impression room”. Buyers would be expecting to see a Living room on one side of the foyer and a Dining room on the other. So this is what we gave them!"
"We started by bringing in the same paint color (from the Living room) to give a cohesive feel from the foyer. We utilized existing furniture to keep the budget down. We brought in a new mirror, table ware and a $12 center piece thrift store find (score!). We anchored the table with an inexpensive, updated, light fixture and the rest is history!"
"SIMPLE, ELEGANT, SOLD!"
