A Touch of Silk, Inc. Partners with Extreme Home Makeover! | ||
| The Skaggs Family lives in
Slaughterville, a small community south of Norman, Ok. They had purchased
a home with the intent to fix it up at some point. Brian Skaggs is a cattle rancher and his wife, Audra is a teacher. Their youngest child, Jhett, was born with a defective heart and had a heart transplant before the age of 1. He is very sensitive to molds, cleansers, bacteria, etc. Because of the medical bills, the family was unable to make improvements to the house and it was in a sad state of disrepair. In stepped Extreme Makeovers: Home Edition and Ideal Homes. We had heard about the project and went to their website to see what items they might still need. Silk plants were on the list, so we left an email for the designers. Several days passed, but they finally called us on Friday at 11:00 and needed 12 pots of brightly blooming flowers for Jhett's room, also known as "The Dinosaur Room". We quickly made the 12 pots of multi-colored tweedia bushes and drove them to the site the next day. We were'nt allowed to go into the house-only the crew and volunteers working on site are permitted. We were able to get close to the house and visit with the builder, Gene McKown. It was an amazing process! Some of our regular customers were responsible for installing the furniture and accessories in the home, so there are several other pieces that we made for those customers that ended up in the Skaggs home. What a privilege to be able to be a part of an event like this one-it truly makes you appreciate your home, your life and all the great people who are there to help--all you have to do is ask!! |
