Pins and Needles (follow up)
Well it has been some time since my last post and since then many things have come into view. My last post I wrote about how nervous we at Stephen Alexander were feeling about participating in our first Homearama and the judging of our entry. Although we were not eligible for all of the award categories, due to the final sales price of our home, we still were afforded a great opportunity to show our love of historic architecture and green design.To our grateful surprise we received a few nods from the judges as well as the “people” in several different categories. We want to thank the Bob Crawford(behind the scenes hero) of Rose and Womble, Tidewater Builders Association , Culpepper Landing, Robinson Development, and the city of Chesapeake for putting on a great show. Below are the awards that we received.
Thanks to everyone who came to see us and appreciate what we do.
