Trilogy Agency’s VIBE Home Makeover ‘Finishing Touches’

It’s those things that ‘make a house, a home.’ The finishing touches that collectively makes the difference between homey, and homely.

Multiple final pieces under the category known as “Finishing Touches’ are included in all VIBE Home Makeovers, in all Select Makeovers and the highly-anticipated Flagship Renovation. The inaugural VIBE Home Makeover series debuts in Tampa Bay, Florida in 2026-27.

In VIBE’s first year, five families will receive home makeovers or renovations at no charge to the recipient families-in-need.

Four recipients receive the Select Edition, with six or more major improvements. One recipient receives the Flagship Edition renovation, an extensive interior and exterior transformation with 18 or more major upgrades.

However, it’s the design, the flair, the care, that goes into the seemingly endless number of artful pieces in 12 or more categories under the ‘Finishing Touches’ genre that can truly make the difference between ‘nice’ and ‘OH, WOW!!!’

The ‘Finishing Touches’ we include are based on multiple factors, including the theme that the design team elects, and the color schemes the designer selects. However, it’s really the traditions, back stories, and small subtleties from the recipient families that evoke emotion, peace, and comfort, that make these final touches work.

The starting point is artwork and home décor. Carefully selected pieces that compliment, and not overpower, the design theme. Décor that acts as accents, and accentuates the main motif.

Mirrors are added to reflect the families’ renewed perspective.

Shelving and organization components are added to allow the family to put ‘recent challenges’ on the shelf.

New lamps are added to bring new light to the families.

Wall clocks are added to remind the families it’s time to believe once again.

Vases create color and panache. Plants create a sense of greenery and growth.

Area rugs compliment the new theme, with hues, tints, and shades   that adulate the homes’ new furnishings.

Coordinating linens and throw pillows add warmth and panache.

Oh, one added module. Homeowner’s treasures. We must make sure we don’t replace the families’ treasures—the pieces that’ve been in the family for longer than the family. We not only will find the perfect settings for these ornaments, but will do everything in our power to add just the right gems to their collection.

In all, there are 12 ‘Finishing Touches’ upgrades’ that are available for VIBE recipients. Our team will work tirelessly with our VIBE stakeholders to provide improvements in ALL 12 sectors.

Whether it’s the VIBE Select Edition with six major improvements and these finishing touches, or the VIBE Flagship Renovation with 18 major improvements and these finishing touches, recipients can rest knowing the ‘Finishing Touches’ may very well make a difference few expected.

Combined, the VIBE Home Makeover Tampa Bay 2026-27 improvements are expected to be valued in excess of $300,000 in community impact.
