What do you do when you get a call from the producer ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition asking about framing? You get busy framing right away.
Working with the design producers at ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was exciting, fast-paced and extremely fun! The famous TV show made a stop in Boise to rebuild a house for the Stockdale family. Our task was to create four name frames to match each of the children’s theme rooms and we had a day to build them.
Our framing team got started right away dreaming up ways to decorate around each child’s name. Nothing ordinary about this project – we were framing to the extreme. The first was McKinnon with the Winnie the Pooh inspired frame. Erin, our resident artistic genius, painted the “hunny pot” and bumble bee on the mat and added silk flowers. Then came Baylee’s cowgirl frame with cow print painted mat and frame with silver stars. Jeddi’s frame was created to match his Star Wars themed room. The high tech gadgets that decorate the mat are actually parts from our broken telephone. Haden’s frame had to fit a woodsy Abraham Lincoln theme. We hit the copper penny on the head by adding photocopies of five dollar bills and a line of pennies around the frame. Each of the frames looked amazing. The entire experience was a blast!
Look for our frames on an upcoming episode of Extreme Makeover. Oh and by the way, Ty says hi.
