2025 Here It Comes!

There are so many benefits to having a cohesive home, but how is it done? We're sharing our favorite tips! 
The rooms need to have a flow and look like they are related, like cousins, but not identical twins.

CALIFORNIA FIRES:
If you would like to donate to a worthy reputable cause to aid in the Los Angeles disaster relief effort, Kelly volunteers with and recommends:

THE PASADENA HUMANE SOCIETY - to give visit pasadenahumane.org for simply click HERE. Your dollars, even $1 or $5, will help to board, feed and care for the pets of evacuated community members and to cover the health care costs of burned/injured animals rescued from the fires.

THE SOFT LANDING PROJECT - this action committee is focused on providing free and beautiful furnishings/decor to those who have lost their homes to the fires. Many people will be renting empty houses, condos or apartments. The Soft Landing Project aims to gather the goods and talents of the LA Design community to make sure that these empty temporary places are outfitted as homes for the victims.
To give in kind or monetary donations for The Soft Landing Project contact Kelly HERE
