Aiming to create “an atmosphere of comfort, hope and courage,” the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley unveiled a renovation, featuring flooring by Stanton Carpet.

Twenty designers teamed up for the Designing Home Showhouse, chaired by designer Corey Damon Jenkins, organized by American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and Aspire Design magazine.

The Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley provides families with critically ill and traumatically injured children an atmosphere of comfort, hope and courage, keeping them close to the care and resources they need. The house has 12 bedrooms that are filled to capacity almost every night. 

“Our mission was to transform the Ronald McDonald House to create a comforting space that promotes healing and fosters an atmosphere of peace and hope for families stricken with a sick child," said Katherine McGowen, president, ASID NY Metro. "This certainly could not have happened without the dedication, talent and donations from our extremely generous designers. We are thrilled to be unveiling the spaces and are humbled and inspired by the care and effort each and every designer has put into creating a place of comfort for the families that will use this beautifully renovated home.”

The project includes a complete remodel of the house, with the help of generous leaders in the interior design industry. Twenty designers’ creations included: two corridors, 13 en-suite bedrooms and bathrooms, two family laundry rooms, a lobby and vestibule, a conference room, a family pantry, a second floor family study and relaxation space, a day room, a public restroom and office space. Stanton supplied all of the LVP throughout the guest rooms as well as Stanton Street commercial carpet tile for the corridors and common areas.

In partnership with three of Stanton’s local retailers—Carpet Trends, Fenway Floors and Allen Carpet—Stanton was also able to generously supply the labor for the installations throughout the entire facility.

“Stanton is thrilled to be able to align our efforts and support RMH along with so many talented designers, and our valued retail partners.  Their design and installation expertise coupled with our decorative flooring solutions resulted in elevated style, functionality and complete and total comfort throughout the entire home” notes senior director of marketing, Christine Zampaglione.  “The design talent was unparalleled and each designer truly created a unique respite space for families that are going through the unimaginable.”  

Families are stronger when they are together, and by keeping them close, Ronald McDonald House plays a role in the healing and coping process.

“We are thrilled about this collaboration and the transformation that Designing Hope has brought to the Ronald McDonald House,” said Christina Riley, executive director, RMHGHV. “The thoughtful care each and every designer has put into this project is inspiring. In just a few months, they have accomplished what we at Ronald McDonald House strive to achieve everyday; making families feel at home, even when they can’t be.”
