Paradise Found: Meet the Winner, See the Transformation

We joined forces with designer and contractor Anthony Carrino to give one family the ultimate backyard upgrade.

And the Winner Is ...

… Lauren Haifley of Fort Wayne, Indiana! The stars aligned for Lauren, her husband Mitchell, and their two daughters Cora and Callie, who recently moved into their new home and were planning some outdoor updates. When shopping for high-quality, long-lasting patio furniture, Lauren found POLYWOOD—at just the right time.

“We want to get outside, make those memories, be together, and have things that are going to last our whole time here because this is our forever home—that’s part of the reason we entered into this contest.”

- Lauren Haifley

The Total Package

We gifted the Haifley family a money-can’t-buy backyard makeover valued at $25,000. It was the total package, starting off with a design consultation with Anthony, a POLYWOOD furniture shopping spree, and backyard styling by Anthony and our crew. Once the makeover was complete, we revealed the stunning new space to friends and family who couldn’t get enough. “A $25,000 backyard makeover? ... That’s life-changing!” - Anthony Carrino

Before: A Beautiful Blank Slate

The Haifleys’ home includes a spacious upper deck that affords views of their swimming pool, vast verdant lawn, and tranquil pond. Beneath the deck is a cozy walk-out patio that leads right to the pool. In other words, we were working with plenty of room and potential.

After: A Relaxation Destination

Anthony collaborated with Lauren and Mitchell to design their ideal layouts and chose perfect-fit furniture. With all that space to get creative, they mixed and matched styles from our Braxton, EDGE, Modern Adirondack, Newport, Signature, and Park Collections, and other standalone pieces. They landed on a cool color palette of black and white lumber and complementary grey fabrics.

“To be able to share this space with our friends and the people that we love is a really nice feeling.”

Neighborhood Heroes

In addition to the backyard makeover, the Haifleys scored a Buddy Bench to gift to a school or public space in their community. See who they chose!

Why POLYWOOD?

When deciding how to style their new outdoor spaces, the Haifleys knew they needed to find furniture that could withstand Indiana's hot, humid summers and frigid winters. And with two kids and a bustling social life, easy-to-clean, low-maintenance materials were also top of mind. All those roads led this family to POLYWOOD.
