www.archstoneapartments.com - Archstone Sharon Woodring, 303-708-5959 Westchester at Peachtree Valley, an Archstone community in Atlanta, previously selected three finalists in the Second Annual ASID Georgia/Archstone Apartments Interior Design Contest to furnish a one-bedroom apartment on a $10,000.00 budget. The three apartments have been transformed and are now available for public viewing.

Each model apartment brings a unique approach and

distinct perspective to interior design. Selected finalists Robert Grayson, Linda Balocco and Corinne Matthews utilized their artistic talents to create an eccentric environment showcasing individual style and panache. From quality hand-painted art pieces to sewn draperies and pillows, the designers used all aspects of creativity to complete the models on a limited budget in only four weeks. The value of each apartments' appointments includes all of these custom pieces which alone would have an expensive resale worth.

Members of the public now have the opportunity to tour the apartments, vote for their favorite design, and enter to win one of the apartments' entire furnishings, worth $10,000 each. Three lucky winners will be drawn and announced on October 1, 2008.

The winning designer, who will win the grand prize of $5,000.00, will be unveiled at a gala event co-hosted by JEZEBEL Magazine on August 21. The event will highlight the areas best restaurants, and provide an evening of entertainment as the public tours the models and the amenities at Atlanta's newest premier apartment community. Event Sponsors include restaurants Taurus, The Tavern at Phipps, Zucca, and Rita's. Additional sponsors include Rio D Rum, 3 Vokda, SmartWater, Peroni, Atlanta Classic Cars, the ASID Georgia Chapter, and of course JEZEBEL Magazine and Archstone.
