3 teams. 2 rooms. And 1 week to completely re-do two boys bedrooms. One of these rooms…decked out with a fireplace! The other room? Yeah, had a double -shot basketball arcade game. For these two kids, I could only imagine how excited they were going to be. Looking back now, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The project? Stillbrave’s “Renegades Room Makeover.” I knew these kids would be excited. But their reaction we captured, incredible! Mike Katounas was one member of the team, owner of Home Works Painting. Giving back to the community through his “Paint it Forward” Program is close to his heart. As a cancer survivor himself, it was a no-brainer. These room makeovers are especially meaningful. As we returned for progress pictures, it became clear this was more than just a philanthropy project. It was personal. No detail was left out. Mike’s wife even washed the new sheets to make sure it was comfortable for the boys. Stop it. I’m tearing up as I write this. No wonder he said the reveal reactions makes the top 10 best days of his life. It made mine, too.
