House and Home Deal Toys

Beginning on this page, you’ll find galleries including over 90 images of deal toys and financial tombstones from the house and home space. These tombstone designs play off a number of familiar residential items and trappings. These indoor and outdoor items include fences, garage doors, lighting fixtures, beds, refrigerators, washing machines, and couches, among many others.

You’ll also notice transactions involving a number of players and brands highly recognizable in the residential building, and home furnishings and décor sectors. These include, for instance, Kohler, BoConcept, Newell Brands, Generac, Restoration Hardware, Lixil, Lennar, and ADT.

But these galleries also include transactions and deal participants that might be less familiar. These include the acquisition of a storage and closet organization firm, funding for an Ohio-based residential fence and railing company, an investment in a German firm specializing in intelligent utility metering technology, the acquisition of an Australian discount furniture chain, a credit facility provided for a manufacturer of gypsum-based products, and the acquisition of a Florida-based firm providing design, installation, and remodeling services for high-end kitchen carpentry.

You can also find in these galleries designs that are unrelated to any specific financial transaction. These include custom awards and employee recognition pieces honoring achievement and milestones within these industries. You’ll find, for instance, a tool-themed employee recognition design created for Home Depot, and a team award celebrating an earnings milestone for a mattress manufacturer.
