by HIGH POINT — Authors, business owners, and television personalities Erin and Ben Napier will host the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame Foundation Induction Celebration on Oct. 26 during the High Point Market. Two of HGTV’s most beloved home renovation experts, Erin and Ben Napier can currently be seen on Home Town and Home Town Takeover.
“Joining some of the Paul Broyhill Leaders and participants in the Home Furnishings Leadership Institute, Erin and Ben Napier will bring a special touch to the 36th Induction Celebration,” said Satya Tiwari, president of the foundation board of directors. “As members of the industry, we are pleased that they will share their special talents with us.”
Ben and Erin Napier are the stars of HGTV’s highly rated Home Town franchise which showcases stunning renovations to revitalize outdated homes and historical locations in their community of Laurel, Mississippi, and small towns across America. Erin is an artist, designer, and New York Times best-selling author, and Ben is a woodworker, entrepreneur, and founder of Scotsman Manufacturing Co. They are also co-owners of several retail businesses in Laurel and co-authors of their memoir, Make Something Good Today. The Napiers’ passion for American craftsmanship and small-town revitalization led to the creation of Erin & Ben Co., their home and lifestyle brand focused on creating beautiful home products made or assembled in the United States.
“Home is the center of family life, and that’s what makes this industry so meaningful to us,” said Erin Napier. “It’s a joy to be part of the community that helps create the spaces where life’s most important moments happen.”
“We are inspired by the leaders being honored this year—their dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and their extraordinary accomplishments have shaped the way we live. It’s a real privilege to help celebrate their legacy at such a meaningful gathering of the industry’s best,” Ben Napier added.
Joining the current 139 members of the Hall of Fame are Jeffrey S. Child, president, R.C. Willey Home Furnishings; William A. Hinks, founder and chairman, Furniture Mart USA; Stanley F. Pauley, former CEO and chairman, Carpenter Co.; and Norman Waxman, Norman Waxman Consulting.
