While many local South Jersians are eagerly awaiting the November 4th ABC-TV airing of "Extreme Makeover-Home Edition", J & O Fabrics will be taking a sneak peak into the home of the Marrero family from a distance; quietly critiquing the popular show's designers' use of the beautiful fabrics selected from our bolts to decorate & beautify the newly built home.
For those of you who haven't read our initial blog report, the Marrero family is one of Extreme Makeover's most recent recipients of a brand new home. For FREE! The Camden, NJ based family was selected after hundreds of nominations poured in following an interview by Diane Sawyer on 20/20 that aired on our local news back in January of this year highlighting children in poverty. After the decision was made, the phones started ringing. The shows producers were scouting out the area in search of not only the architects and engineers, but the fashionable high-end fabric outlet that would become the source of textile, window & wall coverings for their made-for-tv project. It was only a matter of time before word got out that J&O was the answer to their call.
Now, due to contractual agreements, we can't exactly mention what we supplied. But for those of you loyal J&O customers out there, the fabulous fabrics shouldn't be hard to spot on the tube once November comes around. And why should the Marrero family be the only ones to be the recipients of such a gift. With walls of decorator fabrics from designer manufacturers such as Alexander Henry, Robert Kauffman & Waverly; to high end prints from Charles & Ray Eames, you can find a wealth of fabric treasures to add a little zest to the nest. It's always interesting to see the many different ways a few yardages of material can transform a piece of furniture or a window frame. With a little bit of imagination and a desire to create, you too can treat yourself and your home to your own Extreme Makeover. At the end of a long & busy day out in the world, aren't you worth it!
