A bigger, better show that is less expensive for exhibitors is part of the master plan for a revised Powell River Home and Garden show this year.
In the wake of the cancelled home show presented by Evergreen Exhibitions, Leah Rourke, owner of Relish Interiors, has taken a lead role in organizing a new show slated for May 10 and 11 at Hap Parker Arena, Powell River Recreation Complex.
Rourke has seen the show from the inside out as an exhibitor and has now undertaken to organize and promote it on her own.
Its all what you make of it, Rourke said. As a new business owner the home show was an excellent opportunity to meet thousands of pre-qualified potential clients and to grow my business. I planned a sale to run through the week of the show and those were some of my biggest revenue months to date.
The turnout for previous years was estimated by organizers at around 8,000 people over the weekend. Its an excellent opportunity to connect, she said. I still have clients today that I met at the first show.
Rourke stressed that exhibitors need to get creative in how they market for the show. Just hanging a shingle out will not necessarily net the best results, she said. Its important to plan for the event to benefit most. Rourke explained that having a Facebook page isnt enough to drive small business. Getting out and meeting people is a key part of building relationships in the community, building on existing relationships and roping in new customers.
Of 52 exhibitors at the last home show, Rourke said 30 of them were from out of town. She plans on focusing more on local business at this years event. We will develop a presence of local businesses at the show rather than an overabundance of those from out of town. Were not excluding out-of-town businesses but we want to make sure local businesses are well represented.
Proposed changes this year are bigger booths that are less expensive, a possible contest challenging students to build something out of recycled material that would relate to home and garden, and a $5,000 home makeover giveaway. It will be free for those who attend the show, Rourke explained for anyone interested in the giveaway. Five businesses will each donate $1,000 to the makeover and somebody will win it after the weekend.
There will also be the Valley Building Supplies stage where workshops and demonstrations will be ongoing throughout the weekend. Planet Cleve will be running a concession on-site, and Rourke is trying to organize an indoor garden with seating where people can sit down and grab a bite to eat.
We are looking to bring some new creative changes to the show, change that will reflect the changing needs in the marketplaceboth from the consumer perspective and from the view of the business owner, she said. We are looking to engage our audience here and bring in more attendance from the community.

Smitha Zachariah loves to play with textures, colours and light. Space for her is like a canvas. You guessed right Smitha is an interior designer.
After a course at Shristi School of Design and a Masters in Textiles from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Smitha started SZ Design. However, it wasnt designing clothes but interior designing that captured her heart.
A lot of textile and colours do come into my designs, says Smitha. In fact, most of my work is textile oriented.
It has been three years since I got into interior designing, a decision made out of sheer passion. But, today, I look back and see that I have learnt a lot on the job. All I need is an empty space and my brain starts working. First its the natural light that I want to play with.
Smitha elaborates about how she adapts her designs according to the spaces she works with. If I am working on an old building then I try to bring in a modern twist to it by using bright colours. I like to experiment with straight lines too; the colours I choose are dependent on space. I choose earthy tones for heritage properties. When it comes to modern properties, I try to create designs with vivacious colours such as hot pink, green or blue.
About her work in the city Smitha says that the most challenging space for her design was the Bombay Attic, a lifestyle store. It offered a small space. My challenge was to bring in the wow factor, for which I again brought it colours and textiles. I am also fascinated with prints on textiles. The mens lifestyle store pudulifestyle is the other project she worked on where she used large black and white pictures against pale walls. Besides this she has also designed residences and corporate offices.
The reason, Smitha says, she is fascinated with design is because for me it is all about lifestyle. For me style is all about colour. The core point is that I enjoy what I do. Ten years down the line I see the same fire in me for design.

Calling interior designer Sara Story's family home in Texas Hill Country eclectically inspired might be a bit of an understatement. Though San Antonio's Lake|Flato Architects, who also built a home for Story's father two decades ago, made basing decisions on the site a primary concern, Story worked with them on the project, drawing the heavy limestone aspect of the sprawling compound from the renovated farmhouses of Provence, France, where her family often summers. The living room (above, left) is anchored by a steel fireplace surrounded with panels of eggshell veneer by Chapeau Design, while the master bedroom features a Marc Phillips rug, a vintage Pace Collection bench from Lobel Modern, and custom nightstands, also by Chapeau. Architectural Digest recently toured chez Story, which has singular architecture and savvy decoration on display in equal measure.
Photo by Pieter Estersohn/Architectural Digest The kitchen is stocked with custom-made Wyeth counter stools, a Gaggneau fridge, Dornbracht sink fittings, and a range by Lacanche.
Photo by Pieter Estersohn/Architectural Digest The children's bedroom is decked out with a chartreuse curtain of Toile de Tours cotton-viscose by Georges Le Manach, the Chow Chow rug by Marc Phillips Decorative Rugs, and the 'About A Chair' chair by Hay from Karkula.
Photo by Pieter Estersohn/Architectural Digest A sandblasted concrete-paved loggia connects the children's wing to the main house. Story designed the sofas and lounge chairs herself, and brought in Mood armchairs by Bivaq from Karkula, a Gloster Bloc sectional sofa, and Boffi's Air ST ceiling fan. For more from Story, check our her work on the 2013 Kips Bay decorator show house.
