A BIG win & thank you...

So this past weekend was the Sam Awards hosted by the CHBA. It is pretty much the equivalent to the Oscars of home building in Calgary, lots of entertainment, bright lights, 1,700 people, and awards being handed out. This year we were up for two awards, Best New Home $850-999K & Best New Home $1mil - 1.25mil, with all of the categories there were over 750 entries, so to be one of 5 in each of the categories is huge and a honor. We ended up taking home this beauty...

We won for the Best New Home $850-999K (land cost not included). The one and only Erica was with us to join the festivities and she said my face when they announced our name was priceless...I will admit I was shocked! The home entered for this category was Wexford II, here are a few reminders of that home.

 

So you know, it is not just the Hubs that makes it all stand up, or me that drives the trades up the wall with my ideas & designs, it is the team behind us. From our architects, to the suppliers, all the trades who work so hard...they are what helps make our product stand out. So thank you to ALL of you for your hard work, putting up with me, and always willing to help me find the perfect faucet, slab of marble, or tile...you are our backbone! Mel xo

Congratulations! You and your clients know the level of work you do...now the rest of the world does too. Now you must design a spot for the award to sit:)

Marianne {Style For Living} said...

What an incredible honor to you and the hubs! Congratulations!!! Your homes are always jaw dropping gorgeous, i was going to say something else was dropping, but that wouldn't be appropriate for the family show. Maybe it's because I'm still on the computer after midnight. I get a little crazy at this hour. Sad to say it's when I get some of my best work done! :) Bravo, again my friend!!! The home is a show stopper.
