In March 2006 Donna of Fanciful Furniture & Finishes had the opportunity to work with the staff of Extreme Makeover Home Edition when they were in Sabine Pass, Texas to film a special "After the Storm".  The show renovated the town's high school theater after Hurricane Rita devastated the building in September 2005.  Donna designed and painted five sets of large scale paintings that hang in the Theater's lobby and foyer.  If you watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition's "After the Storm" on Friday, April 14 you might recognize Donna's paintings, shown below.

In April, 2006 Donna was asked by The Hope Center of Beaumont to create benches for their annual Walk for Hope.  Two benches were donated by Benchmark Advertising, Inc. and painted by Donna in memory of Alicia Bonura and Ashley Brown, members of the West Brook Soccer Team, who tragically died in a bus accident en route to a game.  The benches were given by The Hope Center to the Beaumont Youth Soccer Club on May 13, 2006.  the benches are permanently installed at the soccer fields on Dishman Road.
