Michelle has challenged herself to complete 30 paintings in 30 days and asked if she could paint this one of our dear Rambo.
Thank you so much Michelle Lake Lloydminster Artist!

Let me introduce Rambo. He is described as the "Unofficial Mascot of the Interior Design Program" 🐶

This program has kept me busy for the last three years, now heading in to my fourth year of instructing.
This role pushes me to be creative in so many ways, but mostly am grateful for the incredible students.
Applications for the Fall 2018 intake will start being accepted this October.

Graduates of Lakeland College’s award-winning interior design technology program can now transfer their credits towards a bachelor of interior design (BID) degree at RCC Institute of Technology.

Painting pumpkins is all the rage again this year - how about adding a hint of teal? Not only are they so funky, teal pumpkins are a symbol you have safe treats for trick or treaters with food allergies.
If you're worried about composting a painted pumpkin, you can use ribbon and other decorations.

We talk a lot about making use of small spaces but it's so helpful even in bigger spaces to have multi-purpose furniture. Picture one of these in your kid's room - chair by day, extra bed for sleepovers by night! It would make a great reading spot for kids on rainy days too

Just take care to turn off any other hair styling accessories when storing them in the drawer!

It can be tricky to pick a paint colour and the psychology of colour can help. Steer clear of red and yellow bedrooms, but use red in your dining area to stimulate appetites and yellow in the kitchen to calm you while satisfying them!
