When I received this call about decorating a Nurse Practitioner's new office, I was elated.  I was not given a great amount of time to complete the task and to add to the difficulty, I needed to purchase decor for the office without actually physically seeing the layout before hand.  A few photos were texted and e-mailed along with  a hand sketched layout email.  However, II still went into the project blind.  Several items were purchased with the thinking that I would definitely be returning several things.  It was my assumption to think go into the project completely over prepared and take back what you don't use.  Little to my knowledge would I come to find out that I would not have NEARLY enough decor to get remotely close to decorating this office.  Let me just state, that I could not be more pleased to work with these clients.  They are true Christians who live out God's word in their daily lives.  Not only are they in the business of physically healing people of their ailments, but they are working on them spiritually as well.  How many of you can say that you go into a doctor's office, dentist office, or any office for that fact and you see reference to God?  I cannot recall that I have ever been into one other than this one.  Cumberland Gap Medical in LaFollette, Tn  is just that.  I am truly blessed to have worked with these clients on not one but two projects.  Specifications for this project were to include:  Scripture references and Godly references along with a tranquil scenery.  Without further adieu...

The number of  how many installments will be related to this job, however, there will be several.  I did not have the opportunity to provide paint choices for this office nor paint, other than touch-ups to the paint project.  If I were to be asked it would have been a soft neutral in a color that hides everyday living.  That may be in the works later down the road, but for now...this color provides a nice neutral backdrop to the decor.  Before L M Cline's was on site for the install, carpeted areas were furnished with the black padded chairs for seating.  A main goal was to make the entire office warm and welcoming with a soothing atmosphere that flowed.  We tied all the colors within the rooms together to make the office flow from one room to another.  We purchased the octagon table for the large seating area at a steal of a price from Marshall's along with a hall table to provide filler for a unique niche area.  The octagonal table had several scratches and nicks, but with a little TLC and stain, sanding and fillers, we virtually erased the misuse of the furniture.  Two end tables were purchased from a local store to add to the elegance of the waiting room.  The large pictures seen were purchased from Kirklands.  Decor for the office was found at various stores.  All flower arrangements are custom arrangements built on site with the exception of the end table arrangements which I built in my home.  

Although I do not particularly  enjoy going to the doctor, I very much would feel better by just walking through the door of this office.  It is very calming and comforting for all that come.  

I pray for clients such as this to always give God all the Glory in their lives.  

I hope that you enjoyed the first installment of the Cumberland Gap Medical Clinic, LaFollette, Tn  transformation.

Until the next post:  Love the Lord our God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.
