Media Coverage for Alexander's Room

We're starting to get our much-needed media coverage for our Alexander's Room Project. People seeing the story in the news is what helps us get our donations so we can actually do the room, so we're very happy to see the stories starting!

Dream Room Project is Back Again!!!

I'm happy to announce that for the 3rd year in a row, Designers Unlimited's dream room makeover project is ready to go! 

Last year's room for Sarah Valade turned out so well, her mom is joining us to work on this year's room, which is awesome!

This year's room is being designed for Alexander Chevrier, a 5 year old boy with Muscular Dystrophy. Planning is underway and over the next few months we'll be gathering materials and donations to put together a fresh new space for him. So far our paint has been donated by Timmins Decorating Centre - we're off to a great start!

Here are a few before shots:

I can't wait to get started - this is my absolute favourite project of the year!!

Sarah's Room

After more than 100 hours of planning and 4 days of labour, we finished Sarah's Room this month! We had a great time, and most importantly, Sarah loves her new room!

Here's the room before:

And here's the final result:

You can see all the project pictures on my website - www.stylishsolutions.biz - or on facebook - www.facebook.com/StylishSolutions

Special thanks go to everyone who contributed to the project - Walmart, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Timmins Decorating Centre, Future Shop, as well as several members of the community - and to Steinberg & Mahn, M&M Meat Shops, Zenone's, and Christopher's Coffee House for putting out donation cans for us. Thanks go out as well to Topper's Pizza for providing lunch for us while we worked!

The project was a huge success and we're already looking forward to next year!!
