As a designer, I love the feeling of making things beautiful. Sometimes I have the challenge of taking something old and damaged and breathing new life into it again. That's such a great feeling. I guess that's why I love working with so many charities. People sometimes feel old and damaged but all that's needed to breath new life into them is hope and knowing someone really believes in them. Below you'll see some of the great charities I've had the honor of working with. I hope you find one that touches your heart so you can give someone in need a second chance. I'll also show a few examples of homes and offices that I'm really proud of. I hope it shows the love I have for the people and world around me!.
Visionario @ Large brings the serene, tranquil, relaxed feel to dentistry
When you think of fantastic home design you think of Visionario @ Large and Joey Sarandos. Now you can expand your thinking to office design. Visionario @ Large had the task of making your visit to the dentist a pleasant and relaxing one. I know you're thinking dentist and relaxing really don't belong in the same sentence but Joey Sarandos pulled it off. When you visit Open Wide Dental in Phoenix Arizona you'll feel like you are at the spa from the moment you walk through the door.
Open Wide Dental is a dental practice in Phoenix devoted to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile using conservative, state-of-the-art procedures that will result in beautiful, long lasting smiles!

I really do appreciate the friendly professional atmosphere of your
office. Additionally, the aesthetics of the office tend to make for a
very relaxed visit; and the people in the office are top-notch.
All-in-all it is a pleasurable experience to have such a nice office as
well as great staff to assist one with their dental care... and the
convenience for those of us that live in the central phoenix area is

Do You Want To Sell
Your Rehab Fast?
That’s an obvious question – we all do! So what is the trick? So much time and money is spent on systems updates, roofs, and structural issues, that many times there’s nothing left for what really makes the sale: what your potential buyers see. And more importantly, what they fall in love with. People don’t walk into your house, and say, “Wow, they have all new electric. Let’s buy.” That’s just a core expectation. The trick to selling houses fast is to seduce your customers to fall in love when they walk through. It has to feel like a home to them. The two most inexpensive yet surefire ways we have found to create this atmosphere is through color and through decorating. A tastefully decorated house really stands out from the others. New house builders learned this a long time ago. Why do you suppose they hire interior decorators? But they have the advantage of creating one masterpiece to sell many. Rehabbers don’t have that luxury. But we discovered that a house can be “staged” to feel like a lived in home. Staging is the art of artistically placing décor items around the house. Perhaps a colorful place setting on the kitchen counter along with open coffee beans for aroma, and an open recipe book turned to a colorful picture. Bathrooms dressed up with beautiful towels, sweet smelling soaps, and window treatments as shower curtains. Finally, fireplace mantels decorated as if the family was already living there. But even staging doesn’t create the ambience you need. It is the warmth that comes from color. You may have heard to use a white-on-white color scheme to remain neutral and not turn anyone off. The truth is – no one is turned ON either. Buyers aren’t attracted to all white houses. At best, there’s no emotion. With the use of contemporary designer colors, however, these same people fall in love with the home. That’s the emotion that sells. When they love, they buy. And they fall in love with houses that are brought to life with full color. |

Arizona Gay Rodeo Association
Hi, Joey Sarandos here. I'm so proud to be a supporter of the Arizona Gay Rodeo.
Welcome to Arizona's official Gay Rodeo Association
AGRA is a 501c(4) organization incorporated in the State of Arizona and is proud to host the annual Arizona Gay Rodeo formily RoadRunner Regional Rodeo for IGRA .We're totally funded by private donations and our membership fees.
A little history
Things were shaking in Phoenix as early as 1982, when a small group traveled to the Reno rodeo and Tish Tanner won the title of Miss Reno National Gay Rodeo. Arizona came to life in the fall of 1984 when John King decided to open a second Charlie's in Phoenix.The bar opened in early November and since John and Kenny Cunitz lived and breathed rodeo, it was only a matter of weeks before the Arizona Gay Rodeo Association (AGRA) formed.
In December 1984 the new group targeted January of 1986 for their first rodeo. Arizona became the fifth state to host a gay rodeo and the event took place in the most unique arena facility on the south side of Phoenix: a Mexican Charro rodeo arena with an attached dance hall known as the Corona Ranch.
AGRA is proud to be one of the 5 founding members of the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) and priveleged to hold the Arizona heat for the International Rodeo league.
