You guys! Somebody pinch me. We had the pleasure or hanging out with Scott McGillivray last week downtown Minneapolis at the beautiful Cambria showroom. Have you guys been there? It’s a must see. We even got to see the beautiful new slabs that will be going into the Viking stadium which are pretty cool. But I do have to say my absolute favorite new design of Cambria’s is their new navy countertops, Hadley. Drop dead gorgeous.
The event was a meet and greet for Scott open to the public and a promotion for the free course they are teaming up on and offering. Whether you’re a homeowner, designer or contractor, it’s a great course to expand your knowledge on the value of what to put into your renovations. And best part, you can take the course at your leisure and meet and chat with other homeowners or industry-related knowledge experts in the field. We’re always looking for great ways to stay up to date on the latest design trends for our clients, and Cambria is a great resource. You can register for the course –> HERE.
The course is led by Scott McGillivray who is a popular HGTV host, trusted contractor, and savvy real estate investor.
So how did we get to meet Scott? Long story short, Cambria had reached out to us to invite us to the event and said they’d love to set up some one-on-one time to get all of our questions answered from an HGTV expert. So cool. So of course without hesitation, we yelled YES.
We are beyond thankful to Cambria for giving the construction2style crew such a cool opportunity. I was a little nervous at first because what the heck do you ask someone who you look up to that has all the success we have ever dreamed of?! Because to me I already know the answer- it’s called working your butt off! haha. But of course he was so sweet, down to earth, we had a great conversation and we left with bigger dreams!
We also ran into our awesome friends- The Rehab Life. This is another renovating crew that is one to follow. Check them out on Instagram, HERE.
Like I mentioned above, Scott is partnering up with Cambria to offer you a free Dream. Plan. Do. course. to help in your kitchen or building process. The course is to inspire homeowners to create the kitchen of their dreams and help you step by step.
