2014 Athens Home and Garden Show


If you missed the Athens Home and Garden Show last weekend at the Classic Center, you really missed out. Catch the highlights below.

 

  • The interior design students from Athens Technical College and the University of Georgia competed in the White Room Challenge. The White Room Challenge was to transform a 12 x 14 space into a room for the home. Students had a virtual budget of $1500.00. Students were to shop at the two Athens Habitat for Humanity Restores for furniture and accessories and then transform them. Dalton Carpet One provided the flooring choices. It was a lot of fun to watch the students work on their project over the course of the weekend and truly transform the space. Congratulations to Athens Technical College on their win!!!
     
  • Garden South and College Pro Landscaping outdid themselves with their booths. The landscaping ideas, cool plants and water features were incredible!

 

  • Cupcake Wars! Culinary students from Athens Technical College competed and baked some delicious cupcakes! I sure hope they do this again next year. It was a hit!

 

  • Several booths had fun ways to win prizes, photo booths, popcorn and fun games.

 

  • Kids crafts: woodworking and pottery. There truly was something for everyone!

 

  • Girl Scout cookies. I mean, who can resist?!

 

This years event was wonderful! Many thanks to Susan Bogardus for heading up such a large event and the Athens Area Home Builders Association for sponsoring this event each year. If you missed it this year, make a point to come next year. Im sure you wont be disappointed. Did you attend the show this year? Id love to hear what your favorite part was.
