ArtWorks!...Spokane was pleased to participate in Spokane's first "Idea House".   This beautiful show home was built, finished, furnished, decorated, landscaped and opened to the public for viewing. An Idea House goes a strong step further than a usual show home as it features "ideas" which highlight the latest in home building design and materials. Guided tours and a publication listing "101 new ideas" were special features of the show.   "Northwest New Country" was the design theme.

This show was organized by the homeowner as a benefit for Merry Glen Home and School,  a long-term residential Group Home providing services and support for developmentally disabled individuals. www.merryglen.org

A new custom built cabinet for the powder room was crackled to resemble an antique cabinet the homeowner had found in a design magazine.
Free-hand painted roses embellish the guest bathroom to coordinate with the bedding and draperies in the adjacent bedroom.
Two-layer glazing techniques were used to coordinate the walls with the checkerboard vinyl flooring in the game room kitchenette.
An embossed metallic plaster finish was used in the master bedroom to coordinate with the floral pattern in the bedding and valances.  Custom cut stencils were used to mimic the leaves in the floral pattern.
Companion stencils were used to embellish the tray ceiling in the dining room.
The glass installer was upset when he thought he had to install a window into the (faux) limestone surround in the master bath!  Most people had to touch it to believe it wasn't real stone.
