From the day I announced the #25Project I have been overwhelmed with the response from Stockists and customers from across the globe, and now the time has finally come for me to reveal the winning 25 community spaces, nominated by you! It was one of the most difficult tasks to whittle down over 300 deserving nominations to just 25, however I am thrilled with the final selection. Each one is completely diverse in its use and size, however the one thread they all have in common, from the kids creche in South Africa to the specialised dementia centre in The Netherlands, is that they are an absolutely vital part of their communities. I feel honoured to be able to assist them in their transformations over the next year, and I cannot wait to share with you all the stories and photos of each deserving and special space.
And without further ado, here are my final 25!

ReplyDeleteThe article about the winners of the Project focuses on the creative use of paints and colors, it is important to remember the importance of dental care and oral hygiene for our overall well-being. Maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile can boost our self-confidence and improve our overall health. Dental offices such as this one can provide a range of services to help keep our teeth and gums healthy, including routine cleanings, fillings, and beauty treatments.
ReplyDeleteI was impressed by reading the article and wanted to
ReplyDeletemention this dental clinic, which plays an important role in maintaining dental and oral health. When dental health problems arise, such as caries, damage or loss of teeth, the dental clinic becomes an indispensable place to receive professional medical care.
