A Veteran Comes Home: How it Happened
What happens when a group of talented people gets together? Similarly all with a common goal in mind. The PIF Committee donated their time, energy, and resources. For instance, each interior designer on the project brought with them their own design inspirations. And together we creating a beautiful and inviting home. As a result, we were able to make a house a home.
The Donations for a Veteran Comes Home
The three-bedroom ranch house needed everything! Therefore, we reached out to our list of vendors and tradespeople. In other words, they not only made donations. For instance, all the furniture, furnishings, flooring, etc. Also, all labor and painting were donated. They volunteered their time and expertise to help pull this project together beautifully.
The Results
A completely renovated kitchen. In addition to the custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen was updated with Cambria countertops and Hansgrohe plumbing fixtures.
The home’s layout was good. However, the bathrooms were small and outdated. Therefore we gutted and moved them. For instance, the master bathroom was a half bath. However, now it’s a fabulous bathroom with a walk-in shower!
Kravet generously donated all the fabrics. As a result, we were able to work with our local workrooms. Most importantly, they donated their skills. Creating beautiful custom upholstered items throughout the house. For instance, the workrooms made all the gorgeous custom drapery. In addition, including the master bedroom, the living room, and the dining room. And all the upholstered headboards for all the bedrooms.
