Hey Everyone,
As many of you know, my step-daughter Natalie entered the apartmenttherapy.com Small, Cool 2010 design contest with her tiny 280 square-foot San Francisco apartment. Your votes helped put her over the top in the first round of competition. Now she goes head-to-head in a bracket-style showdown with one other advancing apartment at a time a la the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Her last round was a lopsided win but now she's heads-up with the highest vote-getter in any size division.
Please go to http://contests.apartmenttherapy.com/2010/small-cool/main/faceoff/10 and give Natalie a vote. Check out the pics. She did the whole place herself on the cheap using mostly cast-off furniture, reworked IKEA and remnants, just like her mother taught her. You'll be amazed. This is as grass-rooty as it gets. I taught her a lot of practical stuff like how to lay out a photo collage like the one over her couch and make it work out. She is a very quick study. Many of her competitors spent thousands decorating their places. Natalie is thrilled she got this far, never mind having a chance to win.
Grand prize is a trip to NYC and a decorator shopping spree. Pleas feel free to spread the word!
Thank you,
Jerry
