Ticket Giveaway to the 2012 BIA Parade of Homes

The Building Industry Association (BIA) of Central Ohio’s Parade of Homes is celebrating 60 years this year. To mark the occasion, the tour’s twelve spectacular homes include “retro chic design surprises that are reminiscent of the very first Parade.”

This year Crimson Design Group is featured in this year’s Parade of Homes in The Mill House with Miller Troyer & New Avenue Architects. Cheryl Beach Stauffer has partnered with Hammond Harkins Gallery for amazing art and commissioned an original light installation by Dawson Kellogg, a CCAD professor. Art from Dennison Griffith will also be featured in the home.

Crimson Design Group has been awarded “Best of Remodeling” 2012 by Houzz, the leading online platform for residential remodeling and design, chosen by more than 1.2 million registered members of the Houzz community.

“I am honored to have won this trend-setting distinction. We are passionate about and focused on helping our clients translate their lives and style in their own environments as we apply our creativity to design, service and improving the world’s environment as well,” says Cheryl Stauffer, Principal and Founder of Crimson Design Group. “I believe the way we live and how we interact with our surroundings empowers us, comforts us and enables us to fully embrace our lives.”

Antje Zwink of Bellallusions Decorative Finishes will once again have work in a Parade home as well. Read up on her faux and decorative painting company.

June 29 and 30 of the tour will feature a Food Truck Festival from noon to 9pm. Participating food trucks include Mojo TaGo, Street Thyme, Green Meanie, Hungry Monkey Truck, U Ate Yet, Paddy Wagon and others.
