HGTV HOME™ Furniture Collection and Fitzgerald Home Furnishings Announce Sweepstakes Winners

Furniture World News Desk on 8/30/2014


HGTV HOME reported that the HGTV HOME™ Furniture Collection’s Room Crashers Sweepstakes sent consumers rushing to enter for an opportunity to win a grand prize package of $5,000 worth of furniture for a room makeover and a special design consultation from popular HGTV host, Todd Davis.

Six other entrants won a roomful of furniture from the HGTV HOME Furniture Collection. In a random drawing, Dee Gatte, whose local HGTV HOME Furniture retailer is Fitzgerald Home Furnishings (formerly Routzahns Way Furniture) in Frederick MD, was selected as the Grand Prize Winner. When Gatte was notified of her good fortune, she gushed, “This is extra exciting for me because I’ve never won anything, so this is a big ‘woohoo!’”

“We are proud to carry the HGTV HOME line of furniture in our store and are thrilled that the Room Crashers grand prize winner is one of our own local Frederick customers,” said John Fitzgerald, President of Fitzgerald Home Furnishings.

Fitzgerald noted that Gatte will meet Todd Davis, host of HGTV’s hit, Room Crashers, in just a few weeks to discuss her makeover. In the meantime, Gatte will work with the store’s design team to select the HGTV Home Furniture pieces for her home. HGTV HOME Furniture Collection includes furnishings and accents for living spaces, bedrooms and dining rooms. Gatte will have her choice from any of the pieces from the collection.

Moreover, Frederick-area home enthusiasts and HGTV devotees will be treated to a special bonus as a result of Gatte’s win. Fitzgerald’s Home Furnishings will host an exclusive meet-and-greet with Room Crashers’ star, Todd Davis, on Thursday, September 18th, 6-8PM at the retailer’s renovated farmhouse-turned-HGTV HOME showplace adjacent to their gallery at 100 Routzahns Way. 

“As Frederick’s exclusive HGTV HOME Furniture retailer, we can give our customers access to this truly trusted design resource,” noted Fitzgerald. “They make it easy for people to confidently blend together furniture and accents, add a pop of color, mix in stylish textures or design elements to create a look that reflects their own personal style. You should see how happy that makes our clients!”

Room Crashers, one of HGTV’s most popular shows, sends it’s host, Todd Davis, into stores across America looking for unsuspecting homeowners who could definitely use some help with their home improvement projects. Once he finds his target, Davis follows the surprised shoppers home and completely transforms their dull, bland room into stunning, eye-popping showpieces. Davis will use his expertise as a designer, contractor and former Design Star finalist, to help Gatte bring her design dream room to life.
