Sea Gull Lighting Joins Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to Renovate Levittown, Pennsylvania Home

Riverside, New Jersey (May 14, 2007) – Sea Gull Lighting Products, LLC (www.SeaGullLighting.com, the leading manufacturer of decorative and functional lighting products, recently joined with Extreme Makeover; Home Edition to provide Marynoel Kilgallon and her four children with a new fully-furnished, four-bedroom home in Levittown, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Bucks County. 

For nearly a year, Kilgallon and her family lived in the dining room of her parent’s home after local inspectors condemned her original home, which was severely damaged by termites. The single-mother of four, who used her savings to buy the home, didn’t discover the problem until the family began moving into their new home. 

With the Kilgallons on a paid vacation to Walt Disney World, in less than one week Extreme Makeover replaced the existing, condemned structure with a new three-story Colonial home that includes 3 and ½-bathrooms, themed bedrooms and a full complement of furniture and decorative accessories including lighting. To the reconstruction, Sea Gull Lighting provided more than 100 interior and exterior lighting fixtures including wall, bath and foyer lighting, chandeliers, undercabinet kitchen lighting, pendants and wall and post outdoor lanterns. 

“This was an exciting project for our company,” says Ace Rosenstein, Sea Gull Lighting’s vice president of marketing and business development. “The Kilgallons are a local family that needed help. It was a pleasure to work with Extreme Makeover and give this family a fresh start.” Clips from the Kilgallon episode of Extreme Makeover, which aired Sunday, May 6 on abc can now be viewed at http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome.
