Lubavitcher Wins Jewish Press Home Competition
A Crown Heights mother won a contest featuring a ‘beautiful home’ in the Jewish Press’s Bayit Ne’eman magazine. Rivka Teich was selected from among a large number of entries, and her home was featured in the magazine.
From the magazine:
“Rivka Teich is a full-time court reporter and mother of five living in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. To walk into her home is to enter another world, a happy and enveloping atmosphere. Surely she has a talented designer and decorative painter at her disposal? No. Teich, an artist by hobby, if not by trade, has painted every room in her house and repainted many when the mood suits her.
The gorgeous tile work on the entry to the dining room, Teich ordered the tiles, designed the layout and placed them herself. Surely she come from a family of artists and was exposed to do-it-yourself ethos from a young age; no, again.
“Paint is $25 a gallon,” Teich insists. “Just try it. Don’t go with what colors are in season. Do whatever makes you feel good, because you’re the one who lives there. If it doesn’t come out right, you can just repaint it. “
“Rivka, of Creative Design: Color consulting and interior decorating, can be reached at nowhitewalls@hotmail.com or (718) 902-7718.”

Rivka you are awesome! I’ve known Rivka forever and she has only gotten more talented! I just wish the article featured all the bedrooms too. They are all so beautiful and creative. Oh and to #16, “really?!”. A home is all about taste and expressing yourself! Like her email address, “no white walls”! I miss you!

It’s about time someone has taken notice of how talented you are….
Cool
Beautiful house!!
Great talents!
Ask your favorite rabbi if the cat is good for your kids
NO MORE MICE!
she may have a cat….
BUT THATS A LOT BETTER THEN MICE!
TRY IT!
ITS A WHOLE LOT BETTER TO HAVE A TAME NICE QUIET CAT SLEEPING MOST OF THE DAY IN YOUR HOUSE THEN GROSS RODENTS RUNNING AROUND CHILDREN AND FOOD AND LEAVING DROPPINGS…EEEWWWWW
Cool!
Awesome house! I love it.
Rivka
Again, Thank you everyone for your kind words.

Hi Rivka, I am Shneurs Mother. It just amazes me how people can be so talented like you. I am lucky if I can get a room painted and put the family pictures put back up correctly. You are a wonderful friend to both Shneur and Rina. Love you.
