Needham, Storey, and Wampner Funeral Home

A year later.....The funeral home makeover took a little over 3 months and is one of the highlights of my career so far. It was a lot of work but the end result was well worth it. I was asked to create an atmosphere that the president of the bank and the average joe could both feel comfortable and relaxed in. I was given a budget and asked to do SOOO much with it and I am proud to say that we were able to accomplish our goals. It was a complete makeover and included all new carpet, wall paint, ceiling tiles, chandeliers and lighting, furniture, and accessories. We made over the lobby, offices, conference rooms, cafeteria, 2 large chapels and the bathrooms.

Before: The bathrooms were a disaster! We did not have the budget to do a complete makeover but were able to improve them by removing wall paper, changing the vanities, lighting, mirrors, and hardware. A little did a lot in these outdated bathrooms.

New Window Treatments, ceiling tiles, lighting, furniture and accessoriesAfter: I tried to create areas for flowers and gifts for the family that were warm and inviting.My Inspiration: I bought this painting when I first talked to the funeral home over 2 years ago. It represents everything that I wanted the funeral home to be: calm, serene, and relaxing.

The lobby TV needed to stay in this place.  I was able to dress it up with a wood frame and then by flanking it with lamps and this gorgeous bombay cabinet.
Seating for the friends and family was important too.
Guest book area...I love this piece! One of my favorites of the whole project.
