Mindy Drayer from NBC4 had a chance to chat with Design on a Dime star and BIA Parade of Homes guest Frank Fontana about what made him interested in design and ways in which people can easily and cheaply impact their own homes.
Touring with Kevin Knight, taking a quick stop to inspect his kitchen sink fixtures.
HGTV Star Genevieve Gorder visited the Parade on Saturday, July 31 and brought spectacular energy, enthusiasm and a host of great design stories with her. After helping to recognize M/I Homes for their 25th year of participation in the Parade, she toured Kevin Knight and New England’s homes she joined WBNS 10TV award winners for a meet -and-greet at the M/I Homes Foundation House. Her headline event at the Parade stage was hosted by design-centric Andrea Cambern from WBNS 10TV where their conversation delighted attendees and answered a wide-range of pressing issues from how tall she is (without heels, 5′10″) to where to find the fabric ‘that goes to die’ at discount prices!
Despite the heat, the Preview Party was a great success attracting over 1000 attendees. Here are some quick shots of those that took a first glance at the eight spectacular homes, saw the award winners get their hardware, and enjoyed a fabulous fare from Cameron Mitchell’s.
The Preview Party that happened last night at the Parade is always a great opportunity to get a first look at the Parade homes. But it’s also the night awards are given to the builders in a variety of categories.
Each builder was recognized in some capacity for the talent and craftsmanship that went into building his home. Kevin Knight took first place for the interior design by David M. Berg, Inc. Weaver homes won in the Best Kitchen category. And Dani Homes took first prize with his opulent master suite that includes a shower big enough for the entire OSU football team (almost).
