In the video above, Rustrian arrives home from work thinking she was going to have abackyard barbecuewith her husband and a friend. But she soon discovered the get together was a ruse. Her friend told her she had a “really big surprise” for her, and Brooks popped out from behind the house with a camera crew.
“I thought it was a joke at first, but then I realized that no one would actually have all this equipment with the cameras, lights and microphones,” said Rustrian in a press release. “And then, I heard Tiffany’s voice—it’s so distinct—and it slowly started to sink in.”
Overcome with emotion, Rustrian asked if it was a joke. “It’s real!” Brooks said, laughing. “You’re my best friend,” Rustrian replied, grinning from ear to ear.
“I don’t have words,” she then added in an interview. “I’m very shocked and amazed and happy.”
As the winner of the sweepstakes, Rustrian is now the proud owner of a newly-built, fully-furnished 3,400-square-foot home in the suburb of Roanoke,Texas; a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV; and a $100,000 check from LendingTree.
“I utilized a mix of modern elements and subtle ranching touches, giving the home a unique style that breaks from tradition,” Brooks said in a previous clip promoting the giveaway. The house was also designed with energy-efficient materials and smart technology. Seemore features of the tech-savvy abode,here.
Rustrian’s favorite part of the 2019 Smart Home? “I love the entryway tile work, the high ceilings, the layout and the darker colors Tiffany used in the home,” she said in a press release. “It’s all absolutely beautiful. But my favorite part is how open the kitchen is to the family room. I love to cook, but our home doesn’t have the open concept.”
