Pictura Graphics as seen in Ty Pennington At Home

Following the success of Pictura's collaboration with Extreme Makeover:Home Edition, Ty Pennington turned to Pictura once again for graphic interior solutions. This time it involved an office makeover for a TV executive that left Los Angeles for New York.
The objective was to create a space that would be quiet, calm and soothing – and that's exactly what he received. Ty's design fused bits of the executive's old life with the new, and accomplished this with Pictura by creating:
- Six 28x40-inch photographic prints of a Manhattan skyline
- 2 fabric
pillows which paid homage to New York City landmarks
- Three 20x24-inch photographic prints of the Hollywood sign

Pictura Graphics as seen on Minnesota episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Pictura collaborated with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to develop a variety of graphics for a new home built for a Minnesota family in need. This "overnight" family of ten, due to tragic life circumstances, entered their new home on Aug. 28. It was an honor and an amazing experience for Pictura to be a part of the enormous team of subcontractors and volunteers that worked together to build a home for such a deserving family.
