August 25 – DALLAS – When the phone rang and The Nate Berkus show was on the other line, Nicole Cullum Horn was thrilled. The show, hosted by Oprah Winfrey’s favorite designer, is a regular favorite of Nicole’s. She was tapped by the Dallas charity Dwell with Dignity to help makeover the apartment of a mother and two young children who were relocating from a homeless shelter.  The Nate Berkus Show is highlighting the efforts of this charity to kick off their new season, and flew in their design team to partner on the project.

The episode featuring the team’s good work airs this upcoming Wednesday, August 31st at 11:00 am and 2:00 p.m. on NBC 5 in Dallas.

Nicole’s studio, Modern Relics, has gained recognition in Dallas design circles for breathing new life into outdated furniture, and for collaborations with the Fairmont Hotel and Lucia Restaurant.  When the call came Nicole was able to whip up a support team and turned out 8 pieces of furniture in less than a week to meet the Producer’s deadline.

In October 2010, Nicole’s revamped dining room chair won 2nd place in a Dwell with Dignity contest judged by a panel of well-known designers and design bloggers including Jonathan Adler and Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge.

“Refinishing a piece of furniture not only changes the piece but it can change the feel of an entire room,” says Nicole. “It allows you to reuse good furniture while creating something new and appealing at the same time. Being able to use this approach to make this family’s space feel like a home was truly gratifying.”

In addition to her custom work with Modern Relics, Nicole features affordable, upcycled pieces of furniture at her booth in Indie Genius in Oak Cliff.
