Build-n-Share Challenge #238-239 • Venus Luxe
Build Deadline: Wednesday 19th March, Midnight Central
Build-n-Share Challenge #238-239 • Venus Luxe
At your desk you stretch and wince. David’s house was a nice little build after the VanEllis’s mansion. Still, between the two you have enough stress built up in your shoulders to challenge diamonds for hardness. Ah well, a nice long bath or super hot shower would help that. Still, a nice massage wouldn't hurt…
Even as you reach for the phone to book a massage at the local spa, Rose calls back that your next appointment is there. With a sigh, you straighten and put on a social smile. A few moments later, in walks Venus VanEllis. Your social smile turns into a genuine one. “Mrs. VanEllis! Congratulations on your marriage.”
Venus smiles, holding out her hand to flaunt both her gorgeous diamond engagement ring and its matching band. Obligingly you ooh and ah over it. “Thank you! I never believed I could be so happy!” She sits down across from your desk, smoothing the skirt of her very classy business suit. “I have my loving husband, wonderful in laws and that truly gorgeous house you made for us. It is almost impossible to believe I could be any happier.”
“I can understand that. Would you like some tea or coffee?”
She smiles brightly, “I would love some coffee.” Then laughs, “My darling Victor raved about your assistant’s tea, but honestly I don't know how he can drink the stuff.”
You laugh with her, reaching for the intercom.
”Fortunately Rose makes wonderful coffee too. How do you take it?”
“Cream and 2 sugars please.”
You make small talk with her while you wait for the coffee, getting details on the wedding and her honeymoon. Once coffee has been served, you ask, “So what brings you to me today Venus?”
“Well, I was hoping that you would be able to help me with something. My sweetest honey Victor has worked so hard to provide us with a good life. He’s set things up so if I want to I could just stay home and pursue hobbies if I want. But I would like to do something more…productive.”
“What did you have in mind?”
“I want to open a spa.”
“A spa?”
“Yes. Thanks to my family’s wealth and my mother’s love of travel, I have been able to visit some of the most exquisite spas throughout the world. I know there is a spa here,” She smiles a bit sheepishly, “But honestly, not the quality I’m accustomed to. So I want to open a high end spa here. And since you made us such a beautiful home, I’d like you to build it for me.”
“Sounds intriguing.” You pull out a pen, “What do you want it to look like?”
“I’ll leave the style to you, as long as there is an emphasis on architecture. I want some-place clean, soothing and very Zen. Obviously I’d like the most up to date and modern appliances. I’ll need rooms for treatments, saunas, massages, etc. I want to offer the most luxurious and amazing experience. Oh! And a juice bar slash café! Need to have somewhere to rest and relax after a yoga treatment.”
“Okay. And your budget?”
“About $100,000. Think you can work with that?”
“Not a problem.”
“Wonderful!” She finishes her coffee. “When do you think you could have this done?”
“2 weeks?”
“You are brilliant!” Venus shakes her hand. “I cant wait to see what you come up with. I'm so excited!”
Filled with her infectious excitement, you grin and escort her out before hurrying back to get started.
