What's Happening: On Air

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

In May 2007, Karastan carpets made an appearance on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on the ABC Television Network. The carpets grace the floors of a home that fills the dreams of a deserving family in Kansas City, Missouri.

The dream home was built for two hardworking parents who had sacrificed everything to keep their family together. The couple had four children of their own when they took in five nieces and nephews to keep them out of foster care. Their big hearts were an ill-match for the small 912-square-foot structure they called home. The house started to crumble under the strain of a dozen family members and the parents became in danger of losing their nieces and nephews to Social Services.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition came to the family’s rescue with a beautiful home that eases their burden and keeps their family together. Karastan provided the family with two rooms of carpet for their new house: 50 yards of French Check in color Green Check for the grandfather’s fishing-theme room and 100 yards of Worsted Stria in color Golden Topaz for the lower-level family room. Weber Carpet, a Karastan retailer with four locations in Kansas and Missouri, supplied the cushion and installed all the flooring in the home.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which has won back-to-back Emmy Awards as Best Reality Program (non-competitive), is in its 4th season on ABC.  The program is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding.  Denise Cramsey is the executive producer; and David Goldberg is the president of Endemol USA.
