IKEA Life Improvement Challenge – WE WON!

We cannot begin to find the words to thank our new friends at IKEA for our new and improved look!  This spring, we were nominated by IKEA to win their Life Improvement Challenge.  Thank you to everyone who went on line and voted for us every day!  WE WON!!!!  We met with Kathy  Blair, Interior Designer/AutoCAD Superuser of IKEA, who helped us design our new space based on our needs.  She drew up plans for two rooms in our upstairs office.  We loved her plans!

Here are our before pictures of the conference room and the front office:

Our first step was to empty the rooms:

Then every wall got a fresh coat of white paint!      We had so much fun!

  The IKEA Team arrives!!

IKEA had fantastic ideas for our space to make it more functional, more organized and look amazing!  They got right to work building and painting accent colors.  They even made our new logo in a decal for our walls!

It was a whirlwind of activity with the IKEA staff working hard here for two days.  We think it looks amazing!  Check out our new and improved look.  Here is the conference room:

And our front office:                                    

A huge, huge thank you to the entire IKEA Team!  We love our new look.  We are thrilled beyond words to have received such an amazing gift!! Thanks again to everyone who voted for us and helped make this happen!
