Dryden Design Build: TV Appearance, Updated Portfolio

Much of my last couple weeks has been spent pimping the family business, Dryden Design Build, run by my GC-husband and Designer-sister.  Michelle and Chris recently appeared on an episode of DIY Network's House Crashers as the local design-build team for a race-themed garage renovation. 

The show featured NASCAR drivers Kasey Kahne and Brad Sweet as guest stars, which was a treat for the race fans in our crew.  The show premiered last week on June 25 and will air again Saturday, June 30 at 5:30, and again several times July 7-9 during the network's annual "Crash Week".  See a fun trailer of the show here.

In preparation for the few new eyeballs that might make their way to the DDB website this month, we made some overdue updates to the portfolio.  The lovely Tonya Price of Poprock Photography joined us this week to shoot a kitchen renovation project in South Charlotte (posted here) and we uploaded photos she took a couple months ago of a master bath renovation in Plaza Midwood (here).

Also in the works is an ad in Charlotte Living Magazine and an article on the SavorNC Magazine blog.  More on those later.
