She couldn't wait to tell her husband what had happened during her lunch break that day.

When she walked into Heart of the Home's new showroom in Sullivan, MO, Donna Tyree had no idea she was there to pick up a big check. Out of roughly 2,000 entries, Donna Tyree of Bourbon, MO, had been randomly  selected as the winner of Wellborn's Dream Kitchen Makeover. Jennell and Randy Wallis of Heart of the Home, Inc., had talked to Donna over the course of the past year about possibilities for the kitchen she needed to build in her new house. Donna and her husband Mark have been living in the basement of their house in hopes of finishing the upstairs in the near future. On Wednesday, October 6, Mr. Paul Wellborn along with Wellborn Marketing and Advertising Director Angela O'Neill, General Manager Kevin O'Neill and John Wellborn surprised Donna in the Heart of the Home Showroom with a $12,000 check toward finishing her kitchen. Now, Donna said, the most expensive part has been taken care of for them. Donna came into the showroom believing she was meeting owner Paul Alexander for lunch, but he wasn't even in town that day. Greeting her instead when she came through the door were balloons, a congratulatory banner, a cake, a room full of people and a big check from Mr. Paul Wellborn.

   Jennell Wallis told us how relieved the staff members at the Heart of the Home were not to have to keep Donna's winning a secret anymore.

   Donna is excited about the seemingly endless possibilities allowed her in picking out her kitchen cabinets now that she won the Dream Kitchen Makeover. Keep an eye on Wednesdays with Wellborn for Updates on the project, including Before and After photos of Donna's Kitchen.
