I'm chairing the High Desert Design Council's 2014 philanthropic project at the Bend Ronald McDonald House. We're updating the six guest rooms for families of pediatric patients who travel to Bend for medical treatment.
Currently each room has a small plastic garbage and recycle can as well as a mini fridge on the floor next to the bed. We teamed up with Hayes Cabinets to create a piece of furniture that will house the mini fridge at an ergonomic height, and provide a pull-out drawer for the garbage and recycling to keep it out of sight. (Hayes Cabinets is generously providing all six of these units!)
Each room team is responsible for painting their piece and providing handles for the door and pull-out drawer. I had the idea of having custom forged handles that would mimic the design of a tile mural we're using in the room I'm working on (along with Sarah Phipps Design). I envisioned two handles that looked like one piece. Luckily, I'm married to an artist blacksmith. This is the design my husband Mark is working on based on the Metolius Ridge Artisan Tile mural.
