Nashville Designer Show House PR

March 6, 2017 By Nancy McNulty

The House for Hope Designer Show House, built by FHM client Carbine & Associates, has officially opened its doors for tour daily through March 12 from noon to 5 p.m. in the new boutique community Southern Preserve in Franklin, Tennessee. Forest Home Media is proud to be the PR company of record for the year’s top home event!

Home Lifestyle Specialist

For over two decades, I’ve had the pleasure of working with talented builders and designers with the goal of inspiring tour visitors and benefiting many worthy causes.  The House for Hope takes all this up 1,000 notches with 15 Southeastern design tastemakers and Carbine dedicating the home sale proceeds to area children’s charities – estimated at $100,000.

House for Hope History

The entire project is a way to honor Carbine & Associates’ 30th anniversary of building. Instead of a big party, however, Carbine’s project will have a huge impact on our community and I can’t be more proud of this company. They have done so much over the years including building an Operation FINALLY HOME for a decorated war veteran in Kings’ Chapel community.  Here’s a video we put together with company president, James Carbine.

Rock Star Design Tastemakers

Dana Tucker, FHM creative consultant who originally co-founded the company, helped assemble the team of design tastemakers from a four state area.  Here is a clever video we put together highlighting the room designers. And, kudos to FHM New Media Manager Geinger Hill, a video and photography wizard!

We work with soooo many great media outlets and bloggers throughout the Southeast. Nationally, the collaboration with Domino was a result of regular PR trips to NYC to build these relationships.  Check out the PR recap I did for my monthly column for The Southern C here, Modern Day PR:  Leveraging Creativity To Ignite Buzz. It is all about this project.

After meeting Domino’s Alyssa Clough in NYC in October 2016, loved getting to host her at the House for Hope Designer Show House.

Domino’s Associate Social Media Manager Alyssa Clough came down to attend the media blogger preview and first stopped by WTVF’s Talk of the Town.  She then hosted an incredible Facebook Live on Domino’s page previewing the home and meeting several of the talented designers in their rooms.  Check out the tour below which begins with Kristen Carbine.

Home Lifestyle Media Or Bloggers

If you are within the Nashville vicinity and want to visit the House for Hope Designer Show House before it closes March 12, just send me an email at nancy@foresthomemedia.com. We have such a terrific Nashville area pool of talented bloggers and media and would love to add to it. And,  I just have to share the gorgeous, latest issue of Greater Nashville House & Home magazine which features the show house’s covered porch by J & K Design Studio.   Forest Home Media is now celebrating its fifth anniversary and this project is just the icing on the cake! Come see us!

Step Into Domino Magazine’s Your Guide To A Stylish Home

February 4, 2017 By Nancy McNulty

I’ve got Domino on the mind these days!  After meeting with Domino’s Assistant Digital and Social Editor Alyssa Clough in NYC last October, I’m so pleased to share she’ll be covering the Southeastern House For Hope Designer Show House for client Carbine & Associates!   More on that later but look for some Domino inspired moments around March 3 via Facebook, Instagram and more!

In December, Domino’s uber smart editor Jessica Perez Romm was in town for a book signing at Wilder in the Germantown area of Nashville. (What an interesting, eclectic and beautiful store!)  I was thrilled to meet Jessica and will see her again Feb. 7 for the Southern C Summit in Sea Island, Georgia.  My January column for this online consortium of Southern creatives is a book review of “Domino: Your Guide To A Stylish Home.” In the middle of renovating our master bathroom, circa 1970s!, this book has been a tremendous inspiration.  Check out my Southern C review here.

Southeast Interior Design Tastemakers & Social Media Influencers Selected For House For Hope

March 10, 2016 By Nancy McNulty

Interior design tastemakers and social media influencers from throughout the Southeast have been selected for the Nashville area’s inaugural House for Hope Designer Show House partnering with builder, Carbine & Associates, with a goal of yielding over $100,000 for children’s charities.  Forest Home Media is serving as the project public relations and marketing team.

Builders of the 2013 Traditional Home magazine and the HGTV® Smart Home in Nashville, James Carbine, president of Carbine & Associates, said the home event will be one of the first of its kind in the nation and located in a new Williamson County neighborhood, Southern Preserve.

“Some of the most creative designers from a four state area are lending their time and talents to this inspirational home tour which will impact the lives of so many young people,” Carbine said. “As part of our company’s 30-year anniversary in building, rather than hosting a big party, we are pleased to be giving back to our community through the nonprofit 501(c)(3), House for Hope Foundation, and for the first time are partnering with a creative team of this caliber.”

Daryl Walny, Carbine’s vice president of operations, said almost half a million people follow the design team on Instagram and Facebook with hundreds of thousands of page views per month for their personal websites and blogs; it will be an exciting journey until the home is open for tour.

“We are interested to see the different and inspiring perspectives of these unique designers. From website blogs to social media posts, the entire project will have so many creative elements,” Walny said.

Located off Lewisburg Pike in the new Franklin neighborhood of Southern Preserve, the over 4,200 square foot home is a beautiful Modern Farmhouse with a painted brick exterior, covered porches, gourmet kitchen, four charming bedrooms, a children’s playroom and game room.

The House for Hope Foundation was begun in 1993 by Carbine, his brother, the late Denzel Carbine, and the Carbine team. Over the years, numerous subcontractors and vendors have joined Carbine in building beautiful homes with 100% of the proceeds helping area children’s charities. This will be the first time a building team has partnered with multiple interior design creatives.

The House for Hope Designer Show House will be open for tour in March. Follow the build at www.CarbineAndAssociates.com.

"Forest Home Media and Nancy were our hands and feet on the ground to execute a flawless media day open house for the HGTV Smart Home 2014 in Nashville. Starting with a strategic end goal in mind, she knew all the right people to contact, all the right outlets to tap and all the right resources to utilize in creating an amazing event for HGTV. In fact, it generated more local and regional buzz for this project than any Smart Home prior.
