Bold colors, fun textures and modern shapes can breathe life back into a room with minimal effort. I spotted this chair and could not resist adding it to my showroom. It’s flexible enough for any room in your home that could use a little spark.

Make a statement, create a space for your morning coffee or just add a little energy to your room with a pop of red and this fun print. This chair runs $525. For more information, please give us a call at (317) 852-7041.

Last year Whetstone & Associates announced Deanna’s selection as the South Central Regional winner for Design for a Difference – An International Design Guild Contest. Now a spokesperson for the contest, Deanna partnered with Blakely’s Flooring, this time for a pilot program, Design for a Difference Indianapolis.

Barb Fleming, president and designer at BAF Corp. and her charity of choice, Outside the Box – an organization that works to empower people with intellectual disabilities through education, leadership development and a customized career path – was the first winner of Design for a Difference Indianapolis. With the concept of retailers and designers partnering to give back to communities taking hold, Fleming, with the help of Deanna and Blakely’s, was able to secure nearly $75,000 in materials and labor. This was in addition to the $25,000 she received as the contest winner.

Well, word is out and Floor Trends Magazine featured 2015 Design for a Difference winner Stephanie Stroud’s remodel of Operation Breakthrough in its February issue along side Fleming’s renovation of Outside the Box.
