Karma and Lindsey Vander Velde


Can you believe it?  Karma and Lindsey are our final contestants in DesignIt 2012!  Here's what they had to say about their design:



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

When my daughter and I first walked through the store, we were overwhelmed with all the beautiful possibilities, so we knew when we came back to pick out the furniture for our room, we would have to let our ideas spring from one piece that really "spoke" to both of us.  We were no sooner through the front door when Lindsey said she really liked the painting on the wall.  When I saw it, I knew that would be the foundation for our choices.  We loved the color, movement, and texture of the painting and those things helped dictate what other items would fill the room.  In the painting were golds, greens, and a beautiful poppy red, and we tried to have those colors reappear in the room in other pieces. 

How would you describe your design style?

I really don't know what our design style is!  Warm, comfortable, inviting, colorful, textural are some words we would use to describe our approach. 

Why did you sign up for DesignIt 2012?

I first heard of the contest through a friend and coworker.  I knew it would be a great opportunity to stretch myself and also a fun thing to do with my daughter.  I must admit I approached the challenge with nervousness and uncertainty, but am so thankful how things came together and how much we enjoyed the process! 

What would you do with the $1000 shopping spree?

If our room is chosen, Lindsey and I would split the money.  My husband and I are planning a remodel for our TV room next summer so I would chose something for that project. As a college student, Lindsey said she is not sure right now what she would choose, but she isn't worried about not having enough options!
