Budget Blinds® Sponsors Designing Spaces® Military Makeover® for Deserving PTSD Veteran and His Family

Advocate of several veteran initiatives, national window coverings company proudly supports Military Makeover for a fourth time in a renovation series airing on Lifetime® Television.

ORANGE, CA (PRWEB) November 03, 2016 - Budget Blinds, the largest window coverings franchise in North America with over than 1,000 territories, partnered for a fourth time with the producers of Designing Spaces, the award-winning home remodeling show, to provide another deserving veteran with the ultimate home makeover, complete with new custom window coverings.

Billy Phinizy, a 68W Combat Medic, faced many challenges after his return from Afghanistan in 2010. Billy spent several months in an inpatient facility for severe PTSD and still suffers from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other related health issues. Despite his injuries, his wife, Lauren, and their two young children maintain a positive outlook on life and work hard for everything they have.

In 2016, Designing Spaces approached Budget Blinds to be their exclusive window coverings provider for Military Makeover, which Budget Blinds graciously accepted in order to help create homes that would honor our nation’s heroes for their service to our country. In turn, Budget Blinds recruited one of their valued manufacturing partners to renovate the home with beautiful, child-friendly shutters and cordless faux wood blinds from their exclusive Enlightened Style™ collection. Along with drapery panels and hardware from their partner, Rowley, to accent the windows in the master bedroom and living room, the Phinizy family home will become a more energy-efficient and safe place for their children to live.

To see the final results, watch the three-part series of Designing Spaces’ Military Makeover on Fridays, beginning on November 11 at 7:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Lifetime® Television.

“We were thrilled to participate in Military Makeover for a fourth time,” said Tracy Christman, Vice President of Vendor Alliance at Budget Blinds, who also appears in an episode. “Not only does Budget Blinds have a long-standing history and commitment to supporting our veterans, our goal is to help educate consumers on products, options, and features to keep homes with children safe, while still enjoying beautiful window coverings.”

Chief Executive Officer of Budget Blinds and its parent company, Home Franchise Concepts, Shirin Behzadi, also added, “At Budget Blinds, we share a strong commitment to supporting veterans who have served our country. Many of our franchisees across the country are veterans or have personal connections to the U.S. Armed Forces, so we are excited about helping to get these families settled into their newly renovated homes, and proud to support our veterans in this way.”
