Our First Parade of Homes Install 2013

If you read this blog you know that we are in the Parade of Homes here in Columbus again this year- except this year we are in THREE of the homes. We are overjoyed! Here's hoping we get a lot of exposure from it, and a larger local base.

Well, on Wednesday (yes, I know this is delayed) we had our first installation at the Bob Webb home. Check out the photos below, we think it turned out pretty cool! The designer for the home Kathy is certainly an "out of the box" thinker and is making this home contemporary- a style not usually used in the Parade of Homes, especially by their company. We are all hoping it turns out well for her.

Here you see the guest room- we used these funky circles in 25" and 18" diameters. Because we didn't have the perfect measurements for the room before we started it was a bit of a guessing game and then a LOT of math when we got there (I'm not excellent at math- thank goodness Nick & Michael came along)! We taped up all of the designs to get an idea and then measured out from the ceiling and left wall to get them all spaced perfectly and lined up just right. We also used a level from the center of the design to make sure that they all looked the same. It took us about 45 minutes from start to finish.

it looks amazing!

The other room we used decals in was the little girl's room. As this is a model home the name in the design is actually that of the builder's daughter- a small detail that warmed her heart. We used a lot of different colors in this design- and while the photos don't do it justice, it looked really beautiful on the lavender walls. Installation on this one only took us about 10 minutes, and that was only because we had to space out the flowers just right.

The before- forgive the terrible lighting!

It really looks very cool- we can't wait to see how the room comes together.

We also donated some arrows and "private" signs for the house so that they can block off rooms they don't want people to go in & direct traffic. We can't wait to see the house when everything else gets set up!
