Lake Forest Infant Welfare Showcase House
Leggy Bird Designs was asked to participate in the 2011 Lake Forest Infant Welfare Society Showcase House. The Lake Forest Chapter of the Infant Welfare Society has hosted this nationally recognized Designer Showhouse and Gardens every other year since 1985. The growing talent has attracted as many as 10,000 guests during the three-week period. All proceeds go to the Infant Welfare Society Clinic. The main house and guest house feature over 43 interior and landscape designers. Leggy Bird Designs was asked to remodel the kitchen and master bathroom. With extensive work we are proud to present our wonderful and charming rooms!
Finally…here are the photos of our Showhouse Kitchen and Master Bathroom!
Our rooms were a big hit and featured in several publications…and the big news is that our kitchen is to be the cover…yes the cover!!! of the national magazine, Beautiful Kitchens! The magazine is due out in February of 2012!
