Premiering New Products And Design Ideas

Carbine president, James Carbine, said the designers from a four-state region are creating stunning interiors with fresh design ideas, new building products, appliances and three porches packed with inspiration.

“From GE’s slate appliance finish and refrigerator with a Wi-Fi, built-in Keurig coffee machine to showcasing Aurea’s stone product throughout the home, tour visitors will be inspired by a ton of new ideas for kitchen, bathrooms and home decorating,” Carbine said. “This rock star team of design influencers have created clever spaces including a kids’ play room and adjacent game porch as well as a family game room with life size board games. Inspiring colors for the home, created with help from The Decorologist, are included in a tour lookbook or resource guide.”

The House For Hope Foundation was begun in 1993 by Carbine, his brother, the late Denzel Carbine, and the Carbine team. Daryl Walny, Carbine’s vice president of operations, said the impact has been significant and this year over a dozen area children’s charities will benefit upon the sale of the home.

“Over the years, numerous subcontractors and vendors have joined Carbine in building beautiful homes with 100% of the proceeds helping area children’s charities. To date, with multiple builders participating, the House for Hope 501c3 Foundation has donated almost $600,000. This will be the first time a building team has partnered with multiple interior design creatives,” Walny said.
