As the winter begins to fade and spring arrives, we are very excited for what this season will bring to Academy Road. Spring fashions are arriving in the shops, and the window displays are brimming with color. It is wonderful to see people out walking, laughing and enjoying what Academy Road has to offer. I recommend, you go and check out the new pocket park and historical plaque that is located on the west end of Academy Road, a perfect little place to enjoy the sights and sounds of spring! Save The Date! “Academy Road Live!” is set for Saturday, June 4th, 2011 We are excited about our latest venture.

Give your living space a little Charisma Charisma, the design experience is an interior design firm that provides complete interior design services to commercial and residential clients. Charisma was established in 1986 and moved to Academy Road in 1998 when their current space became available. Kim Schroeder, owner of Charisma had always envisioned a retail store front with a small town feel to showcase her work, and that is why she chose Academy Road. The charm and history of the area appealed to her, as it does to many of us Winnipeggers. Kim is also the principal designer who heads up the design team at Charisma; she graduated from the University of Manitoba with the gold medal in Interior Design. In 1986, Ms. Schroeder established Charisma with the vision to make “good design” more accessible to the average consumer. As a result, Charisma has earned a reputation for professionalism, creativity and accessibility. Some of their clients include Rae & Jerry’s, Coughlin Insurance Office, Gondola Pizza and Huron Windows Showroom. At Charisma, they believe "an effective living space enhances your lifestyle, soothes the spirit and delights the eye!" The most successful way to do this, is to enter into a partnership with the clients to help them reach their design goals. With the extensive experience that Charisma has acquired through working on a large variety of projects and by really listening to their clients, they create environments that are functional and aesthetically pleasing. “Each client is unique and their interior must be an extension of their personality, not ours,” says Schroeder.
For all your design needs, whether big or small, starting with the top-rated professionals at Charisma is your first step to project completion. At Charisma, their design goals are to create living spaces for their clients that reflect their lifestyle and personality... a place they can call home. Visit Charisma at www.charismadesign.ca for more information about their services.
