We’ve gotten some great feedback from our Extreme Makeover: Marrero Family Finally and thought we’d take a moment to do some highlights on the rooms you loved the best. The first room we will be focusing on is the walk through living and dining area. As you were able to see in our last write up, yards of our Camel Cotton fabric dressed the front and side windows of this fabulous area of the house. From the time you walk in thru the front door, you are met with an open and airy look and feel. The house itself suddenly seems longer because there are no dividers or walls separating the living, dining or kitchen areas. No obstacles block your walkway, and the same soft flowing material garnishing the windows along the way, create a reserved yet inviting stream of sunlight into an already brightly lit area.
Our White Suede fabric wrapped around the cushioned base and backs of the dining room chairs offer an additional luxury to the dining experience. Don’t let the light color and fabulous look fool you. The fact that it is created with a polyester also makes it very resilient, quick drying, and easy to wash.
The feeling is harmonious and unifying. And with such a big family, the décor of these rooms together is just the right combination for making a house feel like a home. This is a great area not only for living, but entertaining as well. Holidays, football season and big family breakfasts will never be the same when gathering in this welcoming space. Even the Marrero family’s Fen Sui artist friends will find its free flowing layout quietly appealing.
Stay tuned for our second room of choice highlight coming soon!
While many local South Jersians are eagerly awaiting the November 4th ABC-TV airing of "Extreme Makeover-Home Edition", J & OFabrics 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!
J & O Fabrics is a leader in online fabric stores with hundreds of discount fabrics including: upholstery, quilt, quilting, drapery fabric, fleece, decorator, felt, retro, upholstery fabrics and more!
