An Ultimate Home Makeover
by the Desperate Housewives of Glenmary Lane

If you are a fan of Bree, Gabby, Lynette, Susan, and their sordid lives you’ll want to bid on this package offered by our very own Desperate Housewives of Glenmary Lane. Not only can these ladies wrap their men around their scheming fingers without smearing their lipstick, they can make your house look like the tornado/plane-crash/fire never happened.

Our feisty ladies will work with you to complete the Ultimate Home Makeover so your home will shine for Derby, or simply impress your jealous neighbors.

They’ll do ANYTHING you need, even polish your silver, organize your closets and make your mirrors and windows shine (so you can keep an eye on the odd people next door). And the girls don’t work alone. They’ll bring along a bomb-shell personal computer consultant to get your paper based contacts and calendars moved to the digital age for your next social gathering. Their hip young mixologist will consult with you and deliver a fully stocked bar that will impress even those snobs at the club. And our housewives will bring along their crew of professional maids to ensure that your house sparkles from the baseboards to the chandeliers!

Have no fear, you will not go hungry. On the day of your makeover your family be treated to a delectable dinner, in addition to two personally selected deserts for your next party, that will leave you wanting more.

But wait, there’s more. Everyone knows the women of Glenmary Lane are just as concerned with how their homes look on the outside as they are about what goes on inside, not that they would tell. So the ladies will bring their other men along to keep things looking good outdoors. A handsome master carpenter from Ben Tyler Building and Remodeling will be handy for completing any of your projects, while Luckystripes Landscaping will spice up your garden with mulch from Nugent Sand. Perhaps even a pool boy if you ask.

Be part of the Housewives phenomenon. Bid on item 10 and things may never be the same. April 16 or April 21 are the dates the desperate housewives have set aside for our winning bidder to choose from to have their home derby ready.

Donor: Nelea Absher, Ben Tyler Building and Remodeling, Maureen Brekka, Sharon and Ben Butler, Christina and Sam Case, Debbie and Roger Eaton, Deborah Greenwald, Mo Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nugent III, Kathy Oyler.
