Atlanta-based Storehouse Inc. once again teamed up with ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, this time to provide furnishings for a three-story, six-bedroom house along with designers and a crew to provide a dream home for a deserving family in the Washington, D.C. area.
Storehouse contributed most of the furniture and accessories for the new house. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Interiors/Glamour Designer, Michael Maloney, finalized their selections during the filming of a shopping trip at the company's 14th Street store. The episode aired Sunday, Oct. 30 on ABC.
Storehouse associates also gave their time to help with the home. The Storehouse team offered suggestions for additional items, helped move and arrange furniture and accents. They made many last minute trips to the local Storehouse warehouse and stores to pick up extra items that gave the home its finishing touches.
"When we met the incredible Ginyard family and learned about the hardships they had overcome, we wanted to do everything we could to make their dreams come true," said Caroline Hipple, Storehouse president. "That's why we not only donated a full house of home furnishings, we provided designers and volunteers as well."
Several years ago, Veronica Ginyard took her eight children and leave an abusive marriage. She bought the only home she could afford – a dilapidated house in Capitol Heights, Md. The Ginyard home had exposed live wires and mold from constant flooding, as well as holes in the walls and ceilings.
The spacious three-story home will offer plenty of room for the Ginyards to live comfortably. A new Storehouse Cirque Sectional featured in the front room, along with Storehouse beds, chairs, armoires, tables, chests, rugs, draperies, lights, artwork and more will set a clean, modern tone for the renovated home.
"It's an amazing transformation for an amazing family," Hipple said. "It's an honor to take part in a show that makes such a difference in people's lives."
The Ginyards' home is the fifth makeover in which Storehouse has participated. Last season, Storehouse donated home furnishings to help rebuild homes for the Johnson family in Kansas City, Mo., the Broadbent family in Las Vegas, the Pope family in Penngrove, Cal., and the Harper family in Atlanta.
We would love your feedback!
