Connie Wyland:  

Back in 2008-2009, I was have honored to have work with one of the band member from THE BAND "CHICAGO", as their interior designer on their vacation home. He was one of the founders of the band and plays several of the woodwind instruments. It has been so exciting working with him and his wife (great people), especially since that was "my favorite band" in high school. In their living room area I have created a new fireplace front with built-ins for a TV and bookcases to each side of the mantel. On the other side of the room, I designed a custom display hutch for her Hummel figurine collection. Their custom Farm House style kitchen we did an interesting tile mural with subway glass tiles on the rest of the backsplash to complement. We also updated the laundry room off to the side of the kitchen. You'll have to check out the photos I posted in one of my albums. What a great opportunity that was! __________________________________________________________________________________ In school, if you were looking for me, you would most likely find me in one of the many art class, sewing or in a math classroom........

I had even created and made a pair of shoes once that you would see me wearing around school. Almost every day I wore new outfit, that I had designed from the night before. When I can find the time, I will still design and make my own clothes. Looking back, I wanted to be a fashion designer and was even accepted to go to Chicago Art Institute. I ended up getting married instead. I soon found that I enjoyed redesigning my own home and decided to take my talents in a different direction with more of a challenge, that turned out to be interior design. ____________________________ After graduation, I had married my high school sweetheart, Dennis Gebeke in Nov. 1972. We were married for twenty five years and then divorced in 1997. We have two wonderful children that I'm so proud of; Josh who is almost 39 years old and Missy who is 35 years old. I also have three amazing grandchildren; Taylor 15 years, Elijah 15 years and Isaac who is 12 years old. I wouldn't trade any of them. I was married for a second time to a guy named Mark, which lasted short of 3 years. Oh well, such is life. *** UPDATE: Well I decided to try this marriage thing one more time. They say that third time is t...Expand for more
