Spotlight on Michelle VandenBosch - Donor for Extreme Makeover Kindness Edition


While Michelle VandenBosch creates floral masterpieces in both fresh and silk flowers, one thing is for certain, the pieces she creates are memorable. My first time seeing a piece by Michelle was at a grand reopening of one of our local design showrooms, CHI Interiors. Her piece was so beautiful, I HAD to ask who had created this artpiece.


If you then go to her website or Facebook page, you can see many examples that were just like what she had created for CHI Interiors. The kind of pieces that make you go WOW and others that simply amplify the beauty of their surroundings or make an event special. It’s a true artist who can make their piece transform a room into something that is much better than it already was. These are some examples of the kind of work she has done:





With more that 25 years of experience in the floral industry, Michelle knows a thing or two about floral material. Not to drop any names or anything, but some of the major events she’s worked on include everything from HRH Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to arrangements for all the prime ministers over the last 15 years. Lucky for us, she does work for "regular folk" too. 8)



So when our team of Ottawa Designers started working on the Good Companion Centre’s Extreme Makeover for Kindness Week, we approached Michelle for some final floral touches. Michelle was right there adding a little charitable kindness in the best way she knows how. I mean who doesn’t love seeing flowers?
These are the fantastic creations that Michelle donated for this newly made over space.
