Tune Into the Live On-Air Reveal of Designing Spaces Thursday, February 14th, 2013

2013-02-16
ORANGE, CA, February 16, 2013 (Press-News.org) When the Broward County Sheriff's Office found Florida-resident Joy Stewart and her four grandchildren living in a home with no heat, running water, electricity or food, they called on the community for help. Budget Blinds is pitching in to answer that call, through a partnership with the hit national home improvement show Designing Spaces . With the help of Budget Blinds, other national companies and Broward County organizations such as Rebuilding Together , the Broward County Sherriff's Office, and the emergency shelter Kids In Distress, where Joy's grandchildren had been housed until she was able to bring them home, the Dream Team at Designing Spaces is remodeling and furnishing the Stewart Family's home room by room.

Budget Blinds' franchisee and in-home design expert Connie Bolton is managing the design and installation of child-friendly and fashionable window coverings throughout the Stewart Family home.

"With four grandchildren living in the home, it was important that we used only safe, cordless, and child-friendly window coverings for this project," said Bolton of Budget Blinds.

This project is one of 3 segments in which Budget Blinds will partner with Lifetime network's Designing Spaces, to design and install fashionable and functional window coverings to meet the needs of a variety of environments. Each segment is guaranteed to air 6 times in 2013. Designing Spaces is the signature home improvement series that travels across the country refining and redesigning space.
