I Support Homeowners in Need by Working on Rebuilding Seattle

Written by faith | 0

As a Junior League of Seattle Sustainer, I’m proud to be part of National Rebuilding Day, where more than 70 volunteers dedicated a Saturday to rehabilitate the home of Tamara and Lou LeCroy, a couple living in the Skyway neighborhood of South Seattle. The pictures tell the story of what we did in 10 hours working in teams.

After nine hours, two full dumpsters, lots of sore muscles and tired volunteers, the yard and home are returned to the owners. With volunteer support from the Junior League of Seattle and others, Rebuilding Seattle repairs and/or rebuilds homes at no cost to low-income homeowners, particularly those who are elderly, disabled or families with children.

What a day! and what a happy, grateful couple. I’m so pleased to work with all the volunteers to make such a tremendous difference for Tamara and Lou. Thanks to all who supported our efforts. The team was amazing.

(I’m pleased to report that Mallory Paint (Jim Mallory) donated paint.)

 

 

The Value of Design Visualization To Clients

Written by faith | 0

Use design visualization for your project

This Seattle interior designer is fortunate to be featured in an article by HomeSavvi, “Visualize design BEFORE you spend”. What’s excellent about the article is the demonstration using ‘before and after’ images for a real client seeking to update an outdoor space.

In all my projects, my team includes 3D For All, a Seattle based company launched by Mary Curley. Learn about Mary here.

Working together with Mary and the clients, I was able to use images from Gloster Furniture to accurately ‘imagine the outcome of the design concept I proposed.

As I begin work with clients, I offer a design fee of tiered services and two of the three tiers include design visualization. My clients gain confidence about their project and the outcome they desire when the design comes to life in advance of construction.

Imagine seeing your new room before you spend a penny. Remove the stress of design decisions in advance and avoid costly mistakes. Contact Faith Sheridan Design Group for your indoor or outdoor project and experience confidence in the outcome.

Domestic Violence Survivors Surprised with Holiday Makeover

Written by faith | 0

Last week this expert Seattle interior designer shared some first look photos from the makeover I did for a mother and daughter last Thursday. KOMO News in Seattle covered this surprise and I have additional images of before and after and a video too. Please enjoy them in this time of holiday giving.

“For the first time, a Seattle mother and daughter say they have a home. They are domestic violence survivors who recently moved into an apartment, but had no way to decorate it, and barely had any furniture. KOMO4′s Michelle Esteban was in on a surprise Home Makeover.”

Restoring a Home in WA Wine Country

Written by faith | 0

In our Sunday Seattle Times I enjoyed a story about the restoration of a home by Paul Gregutt and his wife. While I am an expert Seattle interior designer, Gregutt is a highly regarded wine writer. Appropriately, they found a 1,000-square-foot, rundown cottage in Eastern Washington in the community of Waitsburg, where the grapes are grown and many of the wineries are located.

Using a local team of professionals, this photo shows the progress after six months. New roof, new foundation, new windows, new porch. The fake siding was removed and they patched the original.
Here’s one of my favorite images… imagine this view during the seasons of the year.

In Waitsburg — population 1,212 — Gregutt and his wife found a tumbledown cottage, originally built around 1875, that survived a series of unfortunate additions over the decades and a great deal of neglect.

With a local team of professionals working with them, this photo shows the progress after six months. New roof, new foundation, new windows, new porch. The fake siding was removed and they patched the original.
