First At-Home Christmas

Special Presentation : Episode HDEC6-S06 -- More Projects »

New Home
The Schnacky family has a lot to celebrate. They are about to have their first Christmas in their new home with their three children. The Schnackys' oldest son, Tyler, has a serious heart defect. He has endured four open-heart surgeries in the first few years of his life, the first when he was just 8 days old. Now 6, this is Tyler's first year without any surgeries. He is doing well, and the family was able to buy a new home. They are looking forward to their first at-home Christmas. After years of hospital stays and living with family in order to take care of Tyler, the Schnackys never had a chance to collect a lot Christmas decorations. That's about to change. Host Joan Steffend joins designers Richard Anderson and Todd Pinzuti to deck the halls for this deserving family. Richard has a Victorian carnival Christmas planned for the living room, while Todd wants to turn the dining room into a North Woods retreat infused with holiday glamour.

This makeover is all about the kids, and boy do they love it! The Schnacky family now has a magical setting in which to celebrate their first at-home Christmas together. Designers Richard and Todd were able to create two special holiday makeovers for less than $500 each and a little help from host Joan Steffend and carpenter Jeff Meyer.
