Lifestyle Builders and Friends present donation to the Children's Hospital Foundation

Our home in Patriot’s Landing, built for the Homearama show, generated over $70,000 in donation funds to be given to Children’s Hospital Foundation of Richmond.  We celebrated this contribution on Saturday, September 25 with a Block Party and the check presentation.

While the check comes from LifeStyle Builders & Developers, Inc., the contributions came from numerous contractors and suppliers – independent businesses who comprise our team.  Without them, the donation would have been much smaller.  From the beginning of this project, all the way through its completion, we found that our team of trade partners and vendors were overwhelmingly generous.  They gave their time, creativity, materials and labor at significantly reduced prices in order to minimize the cost of the home and maximize the amount of the donation.

Over 60 companies can be counted as contributors to this great project:

Lifestyle Builders & Developers, Inc. thanks our many contributors!

King Solomon once said, “Without a vision, the people parish”. In these days of tough economic times you can certainly see this happening all around us. But…not true at Lifestyle Builders. My name is Priscilla George and I am a freelance Interior designer and decorator working for Lifestyle Builders on their 2010 Homearama house at Patriots landing, New Kent, Virginia. It is my life’s passion to be a visionary for my clients and see in the rooms of their lovely homes something fresh and new and inviting. I am pleased to say working with the men and women of Lifestyle has been a dream come true for my passion of interior decoration and merchandising. These men and women know how to make a vision a reality and that is just what we did as a team with the homearama house 2010. In the days leading up to the final judging of the houses I felt like I should have just packed an overnight bag and lived at the house as I spent many long days and late nights at the home I have dubbed “my baby”. You labor so hard in the months before hand that you are anxious with anticipation over the final outcome to be perfect in every way…i.e: all the fingers and toes in there right numbers and places. Or as I came to see in my vision…all the accessories, window treatments and lighting in the right numbers and places. Finally, the labor was over and as I texted to my employers Lloyd and Kevin,” the project is complete gentlemen…we are in it to win it!” On the evening of the award ceremony I was more nervous than I think I have ever been in my life as the competition was very tough. Sincerely, I can say there was nothing but pure joy in my heart when they called our house for the Gold…in Interior Merchandising, Most creative and Best Kitchen. The man taking the pictures of the winners had to ask me to stand still so he could get the best shot. If I am perfectly honest I am still on cloud nine. This has been one of the pinnacles of my life’s work as a decorator and designer and the best part has been not the winning for myself, but winning for one amazing team of men and women. Lifestyle builders and developers is run with integrity, excellence, honesty and by people with a vision. I am privileged to have been asked to be a part.
