Well, I wouldn't describe her as beige.

We had a blast with the gals from KICD 107.7 FM this past Friday when they stopped by for DesignIt 2012.  If you haven’t heard, they are designing on behalf of ATLAS of Sioux Center!  If they receive the most likes and shares on Facebook, ATLAS will receive the $1000 shopping spree!

We caught up with Rhonda Wedeking this week to ask a few questions about her design.  As someone who describes her design style as “early attic”, we think she did a pretty fantastic job!  Here’s what she had to say.

Why did you choose the pieces that you did to design around?  

I really liked the distressed furniture and when we walked in the store and saw that credenza, we just knew it was meant to be.  I really liked that piece.

How would you describe your design style?

I’ve always made fun of myself and often joked with friends that the style of my house could easily be described as “early attic”.  However, we found some beautiful new pieces to put together at Vander Bergs.  As for the space we put together for DesignIt 2012, well, it’s a little eclectic and a little funky with a touch of modern.  Make sense?

Why did you sign up for DesignIt 2012?

I just thought it sounded fun.  And it was!  It was a great opportunity to be creative! 

Everyone that knows me understands that I’m a little out there anyway—I like to do the non-traditional things and this was a great opportunity to do just that.  It’s also really cool that if I’m fortunate enough win, we can help out a great charity as well.

Why are you excited about partnering with ATLAS?

As you know, there’s a Spencer chapter of ATLAS.  I know someone whose son had chosen a few wrong paths in early adulthood.  He began working with a mentor from ATLAS and is now someone that you would want in your school, in your church, and working in your organization.  ATLAS helped him choose a better direction.  Viewing that experience really opened my eyes to how ATLAS works and it’s awesome to have this opportunity to partner with them.

What else would you like us to know?

I could’ve chosen so many different pieces to work with!  Vander Berg’s had a great selection that included several different styles.  There was a great Western chair in one of the homes and a fabulous dining room set in another.  It is well worth your time to stop on by just to look and get ideas! The toughest part of the entire competition was to decide what type of room we wanted to go with, but we ended up with a space that really expresses my personality, which is certainly not beige!
