Interior Designers Take Learning Out of the Classroom

“House on Fox Run” Showhouse May 4-13

Features the Latest Trends and Ideas in Home Decorating

MUKWONAGO, WI. (March 26, 2007)— Parents and Educators agree that students learn best by having a “hands-on” experience. The Mukwonago High School’s School-To-Work program takes that philosophy out of the proverbial box. Students in a variety of classes get to participate in the architectural design, construction and decorating a single family residence. This unique program gives students the opportunity to work with trades people and interior designers. The culmination of the project is a fully furnished Showhouse open to the public May 4-13

Guests to the House on Fox Run Showhouse will be able to tour the newly constructed home to view the talents of interior designers and students. It’s an opportunity to see the latest colors and trends in home design.

Unique to this year’s Showhouse is a “Green” master bedroom suite. Finishes selected for this space (paint, flooring, vanity, tile, furniture) are manufactured with environmentally responsible methods. With Earth Month in mind, the designer and students working on the great room and dining area took on the challenge of finding new ways to “re-purpose” old or discarded furniture and accessories. A girl’s bedroom will be decorated in a frog theme and the third bedroom will be turned into an upscale home office.

The Mukwonago Rotary Club sponsors and supports the Showhouse open to the public May 4-6, 11-13 and during the week by appointment. The home is located at 1413 Red Fox Run in Mukwonago. The $5 donation fee to the Showhouse and proceeds will benefit the Rotary Foundation and future house projects. Tickets for the Showhouse can be purchased at the door (1413 Red Fox Run, Mukwonago).
