The Bright Light White Room, sponsored by Mealey’s Furniture and Closet & Storage Concepts
The “Bright Light White Room”: Watch what happens when you start with a completely white room and give children and adults thousands of colorful stickers. Each participant is given a sheet of stickers with one instruction: you are allowed to stick them ANYWHERE you want in the room. At the beginning, the entire room and all of its furniture will be white. But slowly over the course of nine days, the room will transform into colorful, festive, overwhelming-to-the-senses… work of art! Come join in the fun… and take part in the Philadelphia Home Show’s first ever… Bright Light White Room, sponsored by Mealey’s Furniture and Closet & Storage Concepts! |
