O\u2019Connell said the sponsor\u2019s pastor had said it to them one day and it really stuck with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not My Own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt basically means that everything we have is here to share with other people,\u201d O\u2019Connell described. \u201cThis whole house is really about the same thing. All those people coming together to build this thing that we\u2019re going to be able to share with families that have their kids fighting cancer. It\u2019s like everything happens for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Connell purchased the 200-year old former inn a few years ago and gradually turned it into a dream vacation home for children fighting cancer and their family. Located in picturesque Falmouth, Massachusetts the home offers a respite to families who have spent way too much time going in and out of hospitals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous tradespeople, craftsmen, designers and sponsors donated time and materials to make this vision a reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bob\u2019s Discount Furniture partnered with the Boston Bruins to furnish some of the rooms in the house. A big shout out to the Mighty Quinn for helping to pick out the furniture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quinn is a very brave five-year-old who is battling brain cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mighty Quinn\u2019s Shopping Trip<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Family_blades_sofa-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Family_blades_sofa-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Family_blades_sofa-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Family_blades_sofa-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Family_blades_sofa-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Family_blades_sofa-1168x657.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Family_blades_sofa.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dressed in a custom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/bruins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boston Bruins<\/a> sweater with Mighty Quinn stitched on the back, Quinn entered the doors of the Stoughton, Massachusetts store and was pleasantly surprised when he was greeted by Blades, the team mascot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blades and members of the Bruins Foundation joined Quinn, his family and O\u2019Connell for a very special shopping trip to help pick out furniture for Tommy\u2019s Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Hallonquist, a sales associate at the store, was Quinn\u2019s personal guide for the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen he came in he was looking for a couch and when I asked him what his favorite colors are, of course, they are black and gold,\u201d said Hallonquist. \u201cIt made me really, really happy.

I got emotional at times with him because it\u2019s sad and anything that we can do as people just to ease somebody\u2019s pain, I think it\u2019s a great thing.

His plan was to transfer the former inn into a vacation retreat featuring 11 bedrooms, all with different themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for this task, he knew he would need some assistance. So, he reached out to professional designers and asked them to help create a fun and relaxing space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the designers he reached out to was HGTV host Taniya Nayak. The designer just happens to live in the Boston area, not too far from Tommy\u2019s Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was all in on helping O\u2019Connell take his vision from dream to reality. Nayak and her team recruited 24 designers who worked to bring Tim\u2019s vision to life in just a few short months. Her team, <a href=\"https:\/\/taniyanayak.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taniya Nayak Design<\/a>, also designed the living room, dining room and helped finish the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis whole mission is just so heart-warming to all of us that are involved,\u201d said Nayak. \u201cThe goal here is just to get this place done, get these kids in there and make sure that they have the most incredible experience and memories for them and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nayak and a few members from her design team take a shopping trip of their own to our Stoughton, Mass. store. They selected a variety of accent pieces and a very stylish and comfy chair for the entryway. The chair just so happens to sit underneath the N.M.O. letters on the wall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The celebrity designer and host said she didn\u2019t have words to describe how it makes her feel knowing that she is helping to create a retreat for children battling cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I can tell you is that I love that we all have a contribution that we can make, whether it&#8217;s design or trades or art, whatever it is, or furniture,\u201d Nayak said. \u201cBob\u2019s is instrumental in getting this place up and running and I feel that every single person is bringing a piece of the puzzle together to create this awesome experience for these little ones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Delivery Day!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Taniya_crew-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Taniya_crew-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Taniya_crew-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Taniya_crew-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Taniya_crew-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Taniya_crew-1168x657.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Taniya_crew.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After all of the furniture and accessories were purchased and ordered, it was time for delivery day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our delivery team brought the BOBtastic Delivery Experience to Tommy\u2019s Place.
