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!
