Did you see us on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition?

Tonight our products were featured on the ABC TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

They reconstructed a home for a family whose son is battling leukemia. As most of their shows are, this one was very emotional. The boy, Cameron is nine and has an amazing spirit. While in the midst of battling the disease, he started an organization called Be+ (Be Positive) to help other cancer patients.

Their home was completely demolished and rebuilt. They had issues with mold and the indoor air quality was especially hard on Cameron due to his illness. The Extreme Makeover construction & design teams did a first class job, as usual.

Cameron is a sports fan, particularly hockey and skateboarding and they did an excellent job of making his room fit those themes. His older brother is a soccer fan, so his room had an illuminated soccer mural above the bed and had the colors of his favorite soccer team.
His little sister's room was decorated with a butterfly theme. We supplied the hanging nylon butterflies, the butterfly wings and several other pieces of butterfly decor.

Gotta love that show - spreading a positive message of hope and promoting community spirit. Just wish more television shows would follow their lead.
