Help us Help a Dwell with Dignity Family

Yes, our charity work is in full swing again!  When it comes to changing lives (literally) thru the power of design, we can't turn down an opportunity. This time we are partnering with the amazing Dallas based organization Dwell with Dignity to help them establish a provisional chapter in Atlanta.  We will be working with a talented team of designers, organizers and DIYers to completely furnish and decorate a 2 bedroom home for a single mom with 2 small girls who was recently homeless.

The mission of Dwell with Dignity is to "help families escape poverty and homelessness through design: one household at a time."

Our task is to help a young mom who has escaped a life of poverty and abuse, worked hard and saved her money so that she could give her little girls a better life. We are going to help her make her new home comfortable, happy and BEAUTIFUL.

Joann and I are specifically in charge of designing the little girls room! But boy do we need some help.

We've already had heart felt support from the following folks:

Woodstock Furniture Outlet: A set of bunk beds

Jay Scott Studios: An original piece of art

 Lacefield Designs: Throw pillows on the bed

Dena Stormer of Hearts and Sharts: Refinishing of a dresser donated by Kandrac & Kole

Currey & Company: Dresser lamp

Steve McKenzies: Fabric for window treatment

SJC Window Designs: Labor to make custom window treatment

Chris Ray with Hangman Installations: Time and labor to install art and window treatments

We still need the following: 

(2) sets of twin size sheets

(2) mattress covers

(2) inserts for standard pillow shams

Dress up trunk and dress up clothes for a 3 year old and 14 month old

Small table for beside bottom bunk

Small bedside lamp

Pink or purple crib blanket

Age appropriate books

Book shelf (these little girls love to read and be read to!)

Art supplies (we have artists in the making)

Small chandelier (every girl needs a little bling!)
