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

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.
