A small note to say…

 

 

Dear Blogger Friends, Colleagues, Clients and Friends,

 

On behalf of all of us at Meade Design Group, I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who in the past few days have supported us with your phone calls, emails, facebook messages, twitter messages and comments in our blog.

 

We are very pleased how well our first TV appearance on HGTV went.  We were number 6 on the HGTV TOP 10  for the games rooms series “Everyone’s a Winner”.  Being in the show  is definitely making us feel like a real winners! 

 

Marla Brown & David Rockwell the critics of the space were phenomenal. I also have to say that the space looked amazing thanks to the camera work of Austin and Jim - the editing of our segment  was brilliant.  Special thanks to Janice for coordinate the shoot and for the opportunity to be part of the show.  No words can describe the fact that you included our past friend Greg Young in the Thanks section!

 

Once again thank you very much to all of you for taking the time to watch the show - Your support means the world to all of us.

 

Gracias!

 

Yours truly, 

Iván Meade-Treviño

HGTV - Here we come !

Our Maple Bay Project was selected to be filmed for HGTV's new TV series "TOP TEN". This show profiles their top ten picks for room categories. Our project will be featured as one of North Americas best games rooms early in May 2009.

The View from the Games Room overlooking Maple Bay

This project means a lot to me because it was a project where I designed lots of the furniture pieces myself and was designed thinking ahead of the game. The place used to be a Volleyball court yard and the planning of the space was a lot of fun. We transformed the whole space to accommodate a sensational games room, a gym, a kids bedroom and a lounge area.

My favorite pieces in Maple Bay - Chubby Birds of course

On Monday we styled the space for the filming of the show that took place on Tuesday. There is always a sense of nostalgia when you go back to a project that you designed years ago, but this project still looks as current as it did when it was first conceived.

We styled the space ourselves with a lot of planning and shopping. We also were fortunate enough to count on the help of Susan Ramsey from Ramsey and Ramsey - Flower Merchants. I am a firm believer that fresh flowers always complete the space. The talent of Susan, Reika, Barbara and Sarah was definitely evident in the end result.

On Tuesday HGTV sent camera man Jim and assistant Austin to shoot the space. It is amazing the amount of equipment and detail that goes into a seemingly simple shoot. Jim and Austin were courteous and professional, a real pleasure to work with. It was a crazy day but we would like to thank Jim and Austin and of course our client for being so accommodating. It meant a lot to us.

Keep your eye out for HGTV's new show "TOP TEN" in early May. We are really looking forward to our future career as international super star designers (lol).
