CTC Interiors Students Spread Some Christmas Spirit

While the decorations of the season call for pumpkins and bales of hay, Chattahoochee Technical College’s Interiors students got into the holiday spirit a little early.

The students in the Interior Design Club volunteered to help decorate the Cobb Civic Center for the annual Mistletoe Market.

“It was a great chance for the club to participate and transform the space into a holiday wonderland,” said Instructor Ginger Burton. “The event is the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta’s largest fundraiser of the year.”

Students unloaded boxes of decorations, set up trees, hung garland and added creative touches to complete the winter atmosphere.

Additionally, the club members showcased their talents by sponsoring a tree. Using a theme of “Feathering the Nest,” the team used peacock feathers and associated colors. The tree was decorated by repurposing interior design and architectural samples of paint swatches, fabric cuttings and laminates. The group also handmade ornaments and filled the tree using a minimal budget.

The 2013 Mistletoe Market was held at the Cobb County Civic Center Thursday, Oct. 10 through Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013.

As a part of their studies, students have offered suggestions for enhancing the Pickens County Chamber of Commerce building, designed the new interior for the Community Bank of Pickens County, presented re-designs of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce and the rental space of the Earl Strand Theatre in Marietta, provided consulting services to the Bartow County College and Career Academy, remodeled the Appalachian Campus Student Center and participated in both the Bent Tree Tour of Homes and the Woodstock Holiday Tour of Homes.
