Pasadena Showcase
House of Design
We have some exciting news over here at Strong Studio
Designs and much to our relief, it has nothing to do with Courtney having
another baby. We are actually giving (re)birth to a room at the Pasadena
Showcase House of Design! This is
a prospect that both thrills and exhausts us. We’d like to invite you to ride along with us as we embark
on this exciting adventure.
For those of you who don’t know, the Pasadena Showcase House
of Design has been a Pasadena tradition since 1965, with its proceeds benefitting
three annual music programs. It is
now one of the most successful home and garden tours in the United States. Each year the Showcase committee
chooses a large, historic house in the Pasadena area and then lets loose a bevy
of interior and exterior designers to update and beautify the house. Through some inexplicable fate, we were
chosen to remake one of the rooms.
We’re not sure why we were chosen… Was it our semi-polished portfolio
(finished fifteen minutes before presentation time) or our magnetic
personalities? We aren’t sure, but we are sure we are going to take the
Showcase House by storm!
Over the next couple months, we’d like to share with you, in
non-designer lingo, the nuts and bolts (and tiles and fabrics) of the
process. The past month has been a
whirlwind already. We can’t
imagine how much crazier it’s going to get. All we know is that with amazing sub-contractors, some
incredible textiles and wall-coverings, a healthy sense of humor (followed by
an occasional dose of red wine), we will make it through and even have a little
fun. Grab a glass and join us!
