“Stunning.” “Tranquil.” “WOW.” “Amazing.” Those are just a few of the words I’ve heard being used to describe this year’s YMCA Dream House.
Sorry I have not posted this week but I am working on putting the finishing touches of this year’s YMCA Dream House! Yesterday was the first official day of install but the entire week has been prepping for this day.
I think this photo, snapped by intern Chris Langer at the News Herald, is brilliant. It captures the organized chaos that is move in day at the Dream House!
That’s me, in my trademark hat, moving the giant wicker ottoman {from Padma’s Plantation} with design student Lauren. Our carpenter Mike is behind us, working on hanging a window treatment, while design student Christopher is wrangling with the drapery rod box and Cassie, my intern, is moving the cocktail/game table. A big thanks to Virgina Marti School design students – YOU ROCK!
You can read the official story of Move In Day at the Dream House at this link. The reporter covering this story, Jean Bonchak, has just been wonderful to work with and to get to know.
We are busy, busy busy as we need to be ready for a private preview party on Tuesday for Cambria, one of our sponsors. Their national spokesperson, the original supermodel and Sports Illustrated swimsuit covergirl Cheryl Tiegs will be at the party. Sure wish I was taller and thinner!
The official preview party is on Wednesday and then the house officially opens for tours Friday, June 25th. Have a great weekend and I will be back early next week with snaps for a sneak peek of this year’s house. You’re going to LOVE it! You can now buy tickets online for just $12 each for a chance to win the house or $200,000 cash.
