HGTV'd Joins Forces with Ellen DeGeneres to Give a Military Family the Ultimate Home & Yard Makeover (1x8)

: 10, 2011

HGTV'd and The Ellen DeGeneres Show team up to give an amazing military family a once-in-a-lifetime home makeover. After receiving a request for tickets from Krystal and Ryan, Ellen decides to do something much bigger to give back to her deserving fans. Live on her show, Ellen surprises the couple, revealing the HGTV'd crew will be giving them a $100,000 makeover, transforming their home inside and out! HGTV'd enlists fierce designer David Bromstad to pull off this challenge! To turn their drab backyard into a luxe, fully loaded retreat, David furnishes the space with luxurious outdoor furniture and a top-of-the-line barbeque. The yard comes to life with a burst of green when David installs large limestone planters and lush artificial grass. The final pieces in David's grand plan for the yard come together when an exquisite pergola goes up and the dramatic fire and water feature goes in. But the design guru doesn't stop there! David goes inside and completely overhauls the family's living room and bedroom, bringing in all new modern furniture and plush carpeting. As a finishing touch, David creates three customized paintings to give the spaces the signature Bromstad splash of color. By the end, the couple's bland, style-challenged house is transformed into a chic but functional dream home the family will enjoy for many years to come!
