Five Questions with...Holly Holland

How did you get involved with Beautiful Day?
Well, this is my first experience with Beautiful Day. My hubby Cody and I just started coming to WestGate a few months ago when Beautiful Day was beginning to get advertised. We're both so ready to meet people and get into a community this seemed like a perfect fit!

Tell us about your project.
I'm working with Monica Watkins on Room Refresh and doing home makeovers for special seniors in the area that have problems within the home they are unable to tend to for whatever reason.
I'm working on a little government housing project where we're completely redesigning a 300-square-foot house. We've gotten permission from the property managers to go in and do anything we wish. We've met with our special senior, Patty, and we're working on achieving her wish list as well.

What attracted you to Room Refresh?
This project in particular strikes a chord because I'm an Interior Design Student. I love blessing people to begin with, but if I'm able to help with my creative design, even better!

You got a team together pretty quick. Talk about them.
There are two designers, a general contractor for hanging shelves and building some furniture as well as a few extra pairs of hands for cleaning and organizing to pull it all together!

If you could look into the future, what is the ideal result of your project?
Patty will end up with a whole new living space! These 300 square feet are all she has and some of the furnishings belong to the government, so ideally we're hoping to set her up with everything of her own: basics like a bed, mattress, bookshelves, microwave, and some bonus things like photo frames, trash cans, organizational storage bins and some new linens in her favorite color.

Holly Holland is a stay-at-home mom of a six-month-old doberman puppy. She calls both Bend, Oregon and Dallas, Texas home, though she's lived in four countries. She refuses to name a favorite food, but admits she does "love a good bean burrito and coming in close for a tie would have to be sushi."
